Zu Online: Rob from the Rich

Zu Online has gone crazy with events!  They've got one Robin Hood and one Raiders of the Lost Ark event happening this month!

You better prepare your best English accent; the Zu Online (http://zu.igg.com/) team will be holding a “Robin Hood” event soon.  Event Duration: 9:00-9:30pm from Mar 16th to Mar 18th.

As is known to all, Commercial Travel is one of the best ways to accumulate wealth, however robbing these traders can not only bring you much money, but also enable you to experience the exciting feeling that a little daring and some PK brings. GMs will begin a trade caravan that will appear regularly on Wan Mountain. So players will have the chance to obtain tons of treasure, but make sure you don’t bite off more than you can chew.

Zu Online Secrets Revealed 3

Zu Online, while preparing for launch, has provided us with this look behind the scenes!

While the lush landscape constantly splayed out before players may get all the attention, it is the details that really make this game. It wasn’t enough to simply design a game that feels like it might be somewhere in Asia, the design team wanted to bring a real feeling of culture to Zu. When exploring the world of Zu players will often come across structures unfamiliar to most Westerners, who are used to castles or forts. Whether it's the sloped, tiled roofs or the wide open courtyards and gardens, the architecture in Zu is designed to be as much a cultural history lesson as a map point or save point.

Then they need go to Blue Mountain, Sky Lake, Miracle Town, Miracleblade Peak and Death World to defeat several Devils and collect their souls.

Zu Online: Zin Palace

Zu Online has a preview of upcoming area Zin Palace.

Zin Palace is a polished gem of the South Sea. The palace was built by Jingje, and innumerable rare treasures and mysterious books were hidden there. Jingje, the Master of the Monmaidens stayed in the palace for a very long time, afterwards she left the palace and disappeared. Ever since Jingje left, the palace has experienced both prosperity and disgrace, until the day the Zin Twins took charge of Zin Palace. It was then that the former glory and majesty was finally restored. However this time of peace and prosperity wasn’t meant to last and it wasn't long before the Yuan-Ti, under Blood Demon’s control, invaded the palace. They set a clever Chess Trap to besiege Zin Palace, and the Zin Twins had no choice but to ask their disciples to escape to Desert City. Nowadays, the Moonmaidens anxiously await the day when they can return to Zin Palace!

Players can be teleported to Zin Palace by the Ride Guardian in the main city when they are level 40+.

There's even a quick map associated with the intro.
