Archlord 2 Shutting Down


Archlord2-JulyUpdate-02

Webzen has announced the impending sunsetting of Archlord 2. The servers for the PVP-centric MMO will shut down in approximately two months, on November 24th. Archlord 2 initially launched in 2014, giving it a much shorter run than its predecessor which ran from 2005 until 2014. The sequel was heavily criticized during beta for poor server performance, bugs, and a heavy emphasis on pay to win cash shop mechanics.

Players are not fully without recourse, however, as plans to reimburse Wcoin spent since April are under way.

Depending on the amount of Wcoin spent, players will be reimbursed up to 100% of the Wcoin they spent during the last 6 months of Archlord 2, going back to April 1st 2015. The Wcoin reimbursement is currently scheduled to be completed by October 7th 2015.

To send players off in style, Webzen will be running game-wide buffs as well as reducing the cost of the cash shop goods to 0. These changes take place after Tuesday’s maintenance.

Archlord 2 Update “Most Challenging To Date”


Archlord2-JulyUpdate-02

Archlord 2 has just released its latest content update which Webzen claims is the most challenging to date. Players will be able to take on the Dark Stronghold, a new dungeon available only on Hell difficulty. The Dark Stronghold demands daring adventurers of at least level 55, and rewards exclusive level 60 gear. Elsewhere in Stardust Land, a new world raid boss has appeared by the name of Stein. Similar to the Dark Stronghold, Stein also drops level 60 gear.

Stein won’t be overcome by displays of sheer power; players will have to employ team-work and strategy to slay him. However, should they manage this feat, they will be rewarded with all new level 60 legendary weapons. Heroes should be careful during their raids, as both factions may attack this mighty boss simultaneously.

Other content additions include the ability to combine wings to strengthen stats, as well as new PvP gear.

Archlord 2 players have plenty to be happy about, as Webzen has launched the second expansion to the game: Eternal Strife. The expansion comes alongside the release of a new server, a Christmas event, and a slew of server bonuses. As described in the release:

Eternal Strife introduces two new races, joining the ranks of the game’s factions. The Dragonscion join the Humans to support the Azuni’s cause, whereas the Moonelves rally under the banners of the Crunn. Specialized in magic, these new races offer unique starting zones, new archetypes and weapons, thus extending the range of choices for the Archlord 2 players.

Archlord players have plenty to be happy about, as Webzen launched the first expansion pack for Archlord II earlier today. The expansion introduces a number of new areas and dungeons to explore and quest in, and increases the current level cap from 41 to 46. Also available to players is the new Archlord system, where players take to the battlegrounds to prove their merits. Only the best will be able to move on to the Archlord Finals, a last man standing fight that will crown the winner as the new Archlord.

Those less interested in PvP combat will find much to do in three new zones and four new dungeons. To celebrate the launch, Webzen is running a promotional login event, giving away uncommon Avatar sets. The event runs until October 13th.

Archlord 2 Soundtrack Available


Archlord 2_01

Cris Velasco is likely best known for his work on the Mass Effect 3 and God of War soundtracks, not to mention a pretty impressive list of other titles. Velasco was brought in to work on the soundtrack for Archlord 2, and Webzen is so proud of his work that they want everyone to have a chance at hearing it. As of earlier this week, the Archlord 2 soundtrack is freely available to download from Soundcloud.

Today, it’s time to introduce you to Cris’ work. You might have heard some of those themes already in game, while exploring Green Hills peacefully or fighting for your life in Locan’s Lab… But the world of Chantra is limitless, and it would be a shame for your ears to miss out on some of this great work.

Furthermore, players have been asked to come up with names for each individual track. Submissions can be made on the Webzen forums at the link below.
