This post will be explaining about the game that will be discussed which is Moxiang Online (MY).
I will only make this short based on my knowledge, more explanation can be found on Wikipedia.
Before I start, lets check out this video.
Cool right? Look at the characters fighting each other and also the flashy animation *__* of the skills.
Moxiang Online was once a popular MMORPG title in 2007 till 2010 in Malaysia.
It was developed by Runup Company which had popularized the game by enabling the access to the game in every cybercafes and also posting advertisements on the local television network such as TV3.
At first, the responses were great as many new players were coming to play in the servers and it had caused for problems such as crowded servers that the players were complaining that they could not farm (leveling) at any of the maps.
Then, new servers were created to support the original server Chimera. The other two servers were Unicorn and Pegasus.
In the end of 2009, the game had started to lost its spark due to the fact that most of the players were already achieving high level around 8X (which means level 80 and above).
No new map was introduced thus the players felt that it was getting boring and there was no new challenge for them to explore new maps, monsters, quest, and ultimately the sole reason to be leveling.
The Runup did try to come up with new ideas which was the merger of the original server with the TITAN expansion. Unfortunately, most of the players were favoring the original a.k.a the classic Moxiang therefore most of them decided to quit the game for good.
Finally, in December 2016, the game was shut down completely since the base numbers of players were so low and the company could not make a lot of profit anymore.
I still remember that day when most of my friends that had high level IDs and equipment were so pissed off because there was nothing that they can do to recover the loss due to the closure of the servers.
Here we are after almost ten years from the highlight of the original servers.
Good news to the old players and new players that are still interested to play the old MMORPG title Moxiang Online.
The game has been bought by the CIBMall Company which is one of the biggest online game developers in Asia.
In 2017, the CIBMall had launched the Chinese version of the game known as Moxiang Playpark. If Im not mistaken, it was aimed for the Chinese players in the China and Hong Kong region, however some of chinese players from Malaysia had also been playing in the servers.
Due to the success and growing demand from old players, the Playpark company under CIBMall had created new English server for the Malaysian players in 17 January 2019.
It is indeed a very good news right?
But first, I have to informed you guys that this game is a bit different from the original Moxiang by Runup since most of the game aspect have been changed. New control system such as Auto Hunt has made the game to be perceived different by the players.
New equipment fusion system has also been introduced to replace the original fusion system.
I will be explaining more of these changes on other posts, so stay tuned.
One of the great things that I can see is the stability of the server known as Cerberus that does not have any lag connection issue.
I enjoy the game play without any worries of disconnection which was a big issue back then with the Runup original servers.
Words can only describe so far, you guys whom are not yet to play this game should try first and please share to me what is your experiences and expectations of the of the current game.
