MU Online: DME With Webzen To Deliver S4 Patch
DME and Webzen Extends Partnership To Deliver Season 4 Patch For MU Online
Manila, Philippines - March 2, 2009. Digital Media Exchange, Inc. (DME), one of the leading games publishers in the Philippines, today announced that they have extended their partnership with Webzen Inc. to deliver the highly-anticipated Season 4 of popular MMORPG MU Online.
The clamor of MU Online fans for even more adventures in their favorite MMORPG has encouraged DME to reward to players for their loyalty. Mobiusgames, DME's online games division, is rallying its community's support in bringing the patch earlier than the originally-planned September 2009 arrival by launching the Season 4 Support Meter, which will be posted on the MU Online website.
With the Support Meter in place, players are encouraged to purchase MU products of 20 ePoints value (except MU Plus - PK Reset). These MU products include: MU 4 Hours, Cash shop and/or Web Store Devil Square Ticket (1 use), Cash Shop and/or Web Store Blood Castle Ticket (1 use), and the Web Store Large SD Potion.
Players can also buy subscriptions and get the exact same value for FREE! For instance, if a player subscribes today for 30 days, he or she gets to enjoy it for the current version and get FREE 30 days of MU for Season 4.
The community's support for MU Online would reflect on the meter. The stronger the support, the earlier the Season 4 launch date would arrive. The launch date could be as late as September 2009, or as early as April, which is next month.
"We're so excited about the arrival of the Season 4 patch for MU Online," says Mikko Abola, Product Manager of MU. "Our fans have been asking for a new patch, so we're giving them one. Of course, we're not stopping there. DME is also launching the There's No Stopping MU raffle, and is giving away loads of valuable in-game items. The arrival of the Season 4 patch shows our commitment to delivering topnotch content for MU Online, which remains to be one of the top MMORPGs in Asia."
Players that bought the MU products get to join the raffle, with each Purchase Order as one raffle entry. This means the more products you buy, the more chances of winning über in-game loot!
The raffle will begin on March 4, 2009 and end when the Season 4 patch arrives. Regular raffle draws will be done every Monday starting March 16 until the launch. The Grand Draw will be held on the launch date.
The upcoming patch also marks the arrival of new features that would catapult the current Season 2 world all the way into Season 4. These include the following:
Easier and better laid-out user interface;
NEW quest to get your third job class for your old characters;
NEW third wing for each class;
20+ NEW items;
8 NEW 380 weapons;
SOCKETING MECHANIC for the new 380 items;
Master level skills;
6 NEW maps;
24 NEW monsters
NEW character class: The Summoner;
And so much more.
