Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Kane Hao: MWO is actually an MMORPG made by a Chinese design team called the GoldCool Studio.  The game was first released in China in March 2007, and after that, five expansion packs have been released for the Chinese servers. For North America, we simply skipped the first two expansion packs and start with the third one, which is a more stable version with much enriched game contents. We will release the subsequent expansion packs in the next few months.

Kane: There are many ways for players to advance in MWO: Training by killing monsters, and doing quests are the two basic ways.  MWO is a class based game, with four basic character classes for players to choose. There are a ton of skills available for each class, so, in addition to leveling-up, players can work on their proficiency of different kills.

Kane: There are two basic races named the Dynasty and the Empire, representing the two opposing camps in the game.  There are 4 basic classes for each race:  warrior, archer, summoner and mage. Furthermore, there is a unique feature in MWO called the Class Transfer, meaning that after your character of a particular class reach a certain level, you will have the choice to transfer it to a more advanced sub-class.  There will be a total of four times that you can transfer class for each character. All together, there are a total of 52 sub-classes titles available, out of which 16 are final sub-classes.

Kane: Sure. The background story of MWO sets in a ancient mythical world  describing a haunting myth of Gods, Humans and Devils.  Dynasty and Empire, namely Humans' two historically opposing camps, once invited a catastrophic abuse of Gods' Dominant Sword, a divine magic sword used to seal the destructive nasty Devils that had long been troubling Gods’ dominion and Humans’ survival. Released from the long-standing solitary confinement, Devils turned out to be such an irresistible force that they poured out all their pain and suffering, hostility and hatred to justify themselves as the savage killers of the remaining Gods and Humans. Driven to the edge of extinction, the sinful and helpless Humans have no choice but to try desperately to sink their differences and fight their way out. For the miserable, is there one crumb of hope left to change the ultimate fate?

Kane: Localization is the key to the success of our game.  Based on the results of our  first round of Closed Beta test, and the feedback from the several thousand devoted testers, we have improved the localization of the game a great deal, and it is now in a very good shape.  We owe many thanks to our testers, who have been tremendously supportive and helpful, not only to find the bugs in our game, but also to report and correct many language issues. The players should be very satisfied with the text translation of the game at this moment. Check it out!

Kane: Yes, a player can continue to upgrade or “grow” his/her principle weapon all the way through the game. A player starts out with one weapon and a special gem called the “Soul of Growing Weapon”, and he/she can combine this gem and the weapon to turn it into a growing weapon. Once this is done, he/she can feed more and more advanced weapons to this growing weapon, which will assimilate all the attributes of the fed weapons and become more and more powerful.  For the mount system, a player can acquire a mount egg in game through various means, and  then hatch the egg and raise the baby mount to a full-grown adult mount.  Much attention, care and cash will be needed to raise a good mount, but the rewards will be very satisfying.
