MU to be Free-to-Play?

It looks like Mobius is cooking up something for its precious players! When Elf Tarary opened the vortex leading to the MU Continent, she was surprised to read a nice news from Mobius. It said, "MU Goes Free to Play" and that it will take effect on November 1! This is surprising news indeed!

So, intrigued as she was, Elf Tarary clicked the link to read more about this surprising news. However, when the page opened, the information was not sufficient. It only said that Mobius is undertaking steps to make MU community better and that they will continue to inform MUtizens ith further updates.

Here's the announcement:

MU Goes Free-to-Play

Sa aming mga minamahal na MUtizens!
Kasalukuyan kaming gumagawa ng mga paraan para sa ikabubuti ng komunidad ng MU.
Lubos kaming nagagalak sa inyong walang sawang pagtangkilik sa mga nakalipas na taon at bilang kapalit, gumagawa kami ng mga hakbang upang maibigay ng Webzen kung ano ang nararapat para sa mga manlalaro.
Kasalukuyan kaming nakikipag-usap ng mabuti para sa kapakanan ng aming mga manlalaro at komunidad, upang maibigay ang nararapat sa inyo.
Bagamat bahagyang nagkakaroon ng kahirapan ang pakikipag-ugnayan sa Webzen, ipararating namin sa inyo anu man ang mga bagong kaganapan.

Well, November 1 is just a few days away and if they are planning to launch MU as a Free-to-Play game they'd better get a move on!

Do you want MU to be Free-to-Play?

What to Expect in MU's Dopple Ganger

Season 5 of MU brings with it a lot of goodies that Elf Tarary was able to experience and appreciate recently. On of them is the magical vortex of the Dopple ganger. She wouldn't be able to enter this magical vortex if Tarary didn't show her how.

There is an item needed to be able to enter this vortex and that's the Mirror of Dimension. You have to collect the drop called Sign of Dimension in order to create the Mirror of Dimension. Five Signs of Dimensions are needed to make a Mirror. And then once you have a Mirror, you need to head out to Elveland and find the guy standing in front of the fountain. Just present the Mirror to him and voila! he will let you in the Dopple ganger.

Now, Dopple ganger is a realm where you'll get to fight mobs of different kinds. The kind of world you'll find will be different each time you enter. And here's the twist, you have to make sure that nobody, not even one monster gets past the dedicated line or else, your time inside will be over. So, if you are planning to go there, it will be beneficial if you have at least one or two companions.

Anyway, Elf Tarary was able to fight some mobs there. At one time she was alone and the second time, she and Tarary went together.

Here's how that vortex look like:

Elf Tarary's Almost Double Shot to Fame

There was a time a few weeks ago when Elf Tarary shot to fame in the MU Continent. It would have been a double shot to fame on that same day if not for some circumstance.

Elf Tarary decided to join in on the quest for the White Wizard. Well it turned out, it was a very good choice at that time; it was her very lucky day in MU! She didn't even have a hard time searching for the White Wizard in the land of Noria; it was like the White Wizard and his minions were actually waiting for her to arrive! And there was nobody else in sight except for them. Elf Tarary didn't hesitate, she immediately aimed her Excellent Alba Bow at the White Wiz and started shooting him with her arrows! Just a few shots and the White Wiz was a goner!

Elf Tarary defeating the White Wizard of Noria

That's the time when somebody, a Blade Knight, came. Elf Tarary speedily gathered the Jewel of Bless and Wizard's ring dropped by the White Wiz lest the Blade Knight gathers it for himself. After that, Elf Tarary went for his minions shooting them all dead. She got plenty of zen out of them.

And then, Elf Tarary noticed that the White Wizard of Lorencia hasn't been killed yet so she decided to hunt it down too. Using the magic of warping, she was able to reach the town of Lorencia immediately. And as luck would have it, she came across the White Wizard of Lorencia and his minions just a few meters from the bridge! She was already aiming at it with her Excellent Alba Bow when Tarary, through the magical instant message, told her to save it for him, so she did. However, Tarary couldn't immediately find their exact spot until another Elf showed up and took the White Wizard down. It would have been so much better if Elf Tarary just killed it instead.

Oh well, at least it was one exciting day for Elf Tarary in MU Continent!

Elf Tarary Alone in Devil Square

There was one time when Elf Tarary ventured on Devil Square in the hopes getting XP boost fast in order to level up. But as it turned out, she was the only one who turned up for the quest. Naturally she was first in the ranking! So here goes the proof.

Elf Tarary wants to be in Devil Square again she can't as of now. She still has to collect some Jewel of Chaos. 

Elf Tarary Against the Phoenix of Darkness

  

One of the requirements for a 3rd wing is the drop from the Phoenix of Darkness. In her desire to get the 3rd wing, Elf Tarary ventured into the world of Icarus where she tried her Alba bow and arrow into killing the Phoenix of Darkness.

However, the Phoenix proved to be a tough enemy. Elf Tarary still has to find what she's looking for!

The New World of MU

Connection to the world of MU had been slow for some time. Elf Tarary wasn't able to make the necessary updates so she was not able to connect. But things have changed recently. Connection became fast so the needed updates were accomplished. With those things done, Elf Tarary was able to enter the MU World again. She was surprised that a lot has changed since she's been in it.

New landscape were all around! New walls, new effects, and new worlds are to be found! My how things can change in such a short time.

Entrance to the world of MU has changed as well. even the figure sitting on the throne has changed; instead of a Dark Lord, in its place is an Magic Gladiator.

Warping from one continent to another, Elf Tarary found that new places have been discovered like the Loren Market, which is just between Arena and Lorencia. Then there's La Cleon, Swamp of Peace, and Vulcanus!

Elf Tarary can hardly wait to experience all of these!

MU Update Encounter

It's been a while since Elf Tarary was able to traverse the MU land. It's no wonder she encountered an update while trying to make her way into the magical land.

The update was kind of big so she wasn't able to succeed in her plan. Th update takes so slow that it would probably take one whole day for it to finish.


Well better luck next time for Elf Tarary. 

A Mix of Cars and MU

What would MU continent be like if instead of animated and magical creatures, the elves, wizards, knights and Lords ride cars? I mean the modern boom zoom cars you see on the road these days. Well for sure things will never be same and perhaps the magical quality of the place would be gone.

Cars only fit in a modern society where people are in a constant rush. They make travelling from point A to point B fast and convenient. Getting late for appointments have become a rarity since cars were put on the road. As such convenient mechanisms, cars must be maintained at their tiptop shape and condition. There are lots of repair shops nowadays like RepairPal that would gladly help car owners like you keep your Cadillac Escalade, Ford Expedition, or Grand Cherokee Jeep performing superbly on the road.

These repair shops offer all kinds of services starting from engine repair to the mundane car wash. Most of them are very thorough that they won’t leave a timing belt or a water pump uninspected. If they find out that something wrong with these parts, they will immediately provide the right solution and repair job. Auto maintenance isn’t a difficult task as long as you have the right partner, like RepairPal.

Just a bit of thought, what would MU continent be like if there are cars zooming around?

Tarary Fun Time During Guild War

Tarary was able to explore a bit the other Saturday. It so happened that there was a Guild War that time. Since the guild he belonged to was not part of the War, he did not join in. However, that did not stop him from having fun! His choice of fun was the catapult inside the broken castle in the Valley. Some elves and knights died when they got hit by the bomb. Tarary threw several in the front yard and at the bridge. Then when he got tired, he went to the catapult in the valley. It was soooo much fun!

Just Another Day in Devil Square

A few days ago, Elf Tarary was able to make some tickets for Devil Square. It's been a while since she was able to participate in the war in that area, so with much anticipation she lined up in the Noria, near the priest to wait for the right time. It was just too bad because the other warriors were much too quick! All too sudden, Devil Square Level 6 was full! She flitted from server 1 to server 2. Unfortunately it was the same thing. She was able to make it in server 3!

It was just too bad that Elf Tarary didn't finish the Devil Square. She was booted out because she forgot to take more red potions! But anyway, it was fun while it lasted! Take a look at some of her photos.
