Imperial Dragon
A relatively balanced society, the Dragon Clan has some of the most well-rounded warriors. While Northern Dragons typically practice with both Light and Heavy Sword, those from the South defeat foes by projecting their Spirit with a weapon called "Marble."
Disciplines
01. Heavy Sword
The original form of Sword fighting for the Dragon Clan, the Heavy Sword is strong and dependable. Able to slash at a foe’s throat and sever a limb clear off. It is quite good at what it was designed to do.
02. Light Sword
The Light Sword was developed out of the Heavy Sword by those who believed that strength was not everything and the only true way to win a fight was through quickness and agility. This art was shunned for many years until Sliver Blade Bao won a duel against the notorious Furious Fire Doa who was a master of the Heavy Sword.
03. Marble
The South-East monks dedicated their lives to transcendence and the mastery of their Spirit. Soon enough, one priest discovered the way to materialize one’s soul. Through years of practice and research, the monks soon realized that by focusing on a local relic, they were were able to amplify and even project these manifestations.
Royal Snake
Although physically weak, the Snake Clan is more than "just" an opponent. Due to their quick reflexes combined with their superior weapons, enemies swiftly fall beneath their feet!
The Snakes are renowned for their unique weapon, the Lute, preferred weapon amongst coy and devious assassins. While friendly in appearance, the sound wave from the Royal Lute can be manipulated to cause tremendous pain.
Disciplines
01. Saber
The Saber is a civilized weapon, for a civilized age – or so claim the city elders. This weapon was first designed by Snake Master Artisans as a gift to the second Chieftain. Due to its sleek design and quick response, it quickly trickled down from the Royal Guards to eventually the common people and to this day, stays a local favorite.
02. Dual Blades
A traditional weapon amongst professional assassins, the Dual Blades were the original art of choice amongst the Snake Clan. Since then, they are still renowned as the deadliest and cunning of the four Major Clans.
03. Lute
Mistress Fairy was a great musician. She was loved far and wide; her musical brilliance was the top of the town. But one winter she became ill and bitter. The once sweet composer was now twisted. Using her knowledge of music from generations past, she was able to formulate a method to manipulate sound waves in order to slaughter pests safely from her home. This cunning technique has become popular with female assassins.
Fierce Tiger
If there was a Yin-Yang in the forces of nature, the Fierce Tiger Clan would be the polar opposite of the Royal Snake Clan. Far superior in terms of sheer strength, the Tigers even outmatch the Dragon Clan in stature. Nevertheless, do not be deceived by their slow response, as their massive weapons can dish out massive damage -
something too many unfortunate challengers have overlooked.
Disciplines
01. Blade
Blacksmith Fuiju woke up clamoring about a dream he had. This dream was the answer to the problems that the Tiger Clan had been facing for decades. A blade... fabricated from the Southern Hills ore, was able to produce a lightweight yet sturdy weapon. This schematic was eventually constructed and dubbed the Blade, a quick solution to the slow Tigers
02. Long-Spear
The Long-Spear and Short-Spear were two arts developed at approximately the same time. The fifth Chieftain, Lord Jao Wei, had been a practitioner of the Long-Spear variant. After losing a duel to a former rival, who happened to be a master of the Short-Spear, out of rage, Lord Wei banished the teachings of the short variant. To this day, this ban has not been lifted out of respect to his rule.
03. Phurba
The Phurba was a technique perfected by the Monkey Clan. After their defeat by the Tiger Clan over three generations ago, Tiger disciples have taken on the art rather religiously.
Ancient Sky
Led by Lord Kian, one of the few remaining Twelve High Masters of the Sky Clan, he is the one and only wielder of the legendary blade that once belonged to Saga Swordsman Lord Chen. This true descendent of the Ancient Masters holds the last key to the “Battle That Will End All Battles”. However the path to peace is a brutal one and only those who possess the courage, stamina, and skill to rise above all else are able to claim their right to join and learn the ancient secrets of the Sky Clan.
Local gamers are under the impression that MyGame is hoping to increase the company's popularity following the success of Special Force, the online version of the classic LAN game Counter Strike. This also increases the company's chances of at least having enough action to stay toe-to-toe with other local game distributors, especially in the MMORPG scene. Their casual MMORPG, Fiesta Online, did not get enough attention compared to its competition.
Close Beta Testing starts on July 12, 2009.
