As we said in the last issue, Shanda did not make much content updates in the nearly one year after version 1.76 due to international litigation.
Due to the intensification of conflicts with the Korean side, Actoz company interrupted the technical support of Shanda.
This directly led to Shanda not being able to make new maps, monster equipment and skills anymore.
In order to meet the player's requirements, Shanda can only use the original materials, by changing the names of some monsters, and piecing together some unrelated old maps, temporarily sending a new map to the players.
For example, the March 2004 Map of sacred lands is a prime example.
On the basis of the unchanged model, the original Woma Sect Leader was changed to the Sacred Domain Sect Leader, the Bull Demon King was changed to the Sacred Domain Bull Demon King, and the Evil Scorpion Snake was changed to the Sacred Domain Snake King.
And along with the Sacred Domain Map, the last piece of the puzzle of the Legendary Equipment System is the Medallion!
Since nearly 8 months have passed since the 1.76 version, the equipment of the top bosses in the districts at that time is also close to saturation.
Therefore, the equipment of medals once became a new pursuit of players.
Some have even been hyped up to sky-high prices!
I vaguely remember that there was a medal of honor, and how dazzling it was to walk on the street!
However, only a little more than a month after the opening of the Sacred Domain, Shanda began his riot operation again.
In less than a month, Shanda used the same method to piece together a new map, the illusion.
After the full district service was updated that day, all veterans added a challenge illusion.
I think veteran players should be impressed by this sentence: double experience on layers 1-6; double the explosion rate after layer 7; and the dragon slaying sword on the 10th layer is waiting for you to get it!
Compared with the previous map Sacred Domain, when the Illusion map was just opened, most players were still very happy in their hearts.
Because for them, the openness of the Illusion Map makes upgrading much easier.
And for high-end players, the map after the 7th floor of the Mirage is a very good place to fight equipment.
But Shanda never expected that although this map brought temporary vitality, the drawbacks gradually appeared over time.
Since the illusion is double the experience, the actual upgrade speed in this map is about three times the upgrade speed of the old map outside, which directly leads to the fact that there are basically no living players in the ordinary old map.
Only recharge months stuck in the on-hook script robot.
Some advanced players have also lost their pursuit as a result.
It was also from this time that the grand plan began to officially embark on a road of no return.
