MU Online, Webzen’s legendary MMORPG, has been running continuously since 2001.
If you’re under 23, the medieval fantasy continent of MU has existed for longer than the real world has for you.
Since going live, MU Online has kept players hooked with an endless succession of tweaks and updates, and this latest update is one of the biggest in years. Grow Lancer, the female class who joined the global version in 2015, has just been overhauled.
Already established as a deadly melee attacker, Grow Lancer now boasts two new skills: Oversting and Wild Breche.
The first sees her summoning a copy of herself for every enemy on the screen and unleashing a devastating stab attack per clone. The second adds AoE damage to Grow Lancer’s repertoire in the form of a deadly lance-swinging move.
MU Season 19-1 Part 1, which begins on July 23rd, also gives Grow Lancer a variety of new Master Lancer Shield items to boost her base DEF, including Holyangel, Dark Angel, Blue Eye, Soul, Silver Heart, Brilliant, and Manticore.
This is a whopping update, and to help players make the most of it Webzen is running a special Speed Server. If you’re a newcomer, it’ll help you get up to speed. If you’re a returning player, it’ll let you reclaim your former glory.
If you’re an experienced player, heads up: free stuff.
While playing on the Speed Server, you’ll earn 100 Ruud for every level that you climb between LV401 and LV800, giving you the potential to earn up to 40,000 Ruud.
Once you’ve had your fill, you can return to your original server using a free Server Transfer Ticket between August 6th and August 27th. On your return you’ll receive exclusive rewards like Talisman of Ascension and +11 Bloodangel Armor.
If you manage to hit LV800, meanwhile, you’ll also pocket Bloodangel Soul, Darkangel Soul, 350,000 Ruud, and more.
Finally, all manner of freebies are on offer during the First Purchase event, and between August 2nd and August 4th a special Playtime Attack event will let you challenge yourself and earn yet more goodies.
