MU Origin update contains a bundle of new features

Just last month, Webzen's popular fantasy MMORPG MU Origin celebrated its anniversary with a slew of rewards and events. Now just a few weeks on there’s even more MU to sink your sword into, thanks to a hefty update including guild battles, dungeon defence and a dicey mini-game.

The most notable introduction is a new guild war tournament titled Cry Wolf Battle. Taking the form of a capture-the-fort PvP mode, Cry Wolf Battle pits your guild against the toughest guilds around the world. Your band of warriors must attempt to occupy and defend forts of varying levels, winning rewards for each successful victory. Your guild must be at least level 5 to join in, though, and you can only challenge a fort that is a maximum of one level above yours. The guild occupying level 10 by the end of the round will be declared the number 1 guild in the continent, and receive some fancy titles to prove it.

As well as Cry Wolf Battle, you can defend against waves of monsters in Server Dungeon Cry Wolf (there seems to be a lupine theme going on). There are 15 waves in total, each hell-bent on attacking the Cry Wolf statue, and it’s up to you to stop them. You’re rewarded with EXP, Wolf Dust, Zen and more at the end of the game based on the HP of the statue, the time remaining and how many monsters you successfully slaughtered.

If that doesn’t do it for you, how about a game of dice? As well as the additional hacking and slashing, the update introduces the Dice Hunter mini-game. It’s basically a board game, with tiles promising boss raids, jewels, treasure chests and more. You just have to roll the dice and cross your fingers. You get five free dice daily, along with the option of buying more.

Alongside all that, there’s a new Soul Gem system, an expansion on the Soul Stones that allows you to imbue your warriors with elemental powers. Soul Gems can be bought with Wolf Dust, a reward attained in Server Dungeon Cry Wolf.

And that’s a wrap on all that’s new in the land of MU. You can download MU Origin for free or Android and iOS.
