Sho Online : Sho Online Fact Sheet Arrive at RPGRank

By mmorpg Posted Sep 27 2008

Sho Online is an intense lore-driven MMORPG that is based on one of the four
Chinese tales called the Fengshen Yanyi.  Fengshen Yanyi is a novel that was
written in the Ming Dynasty and based on real historical events.  Sho Online
merges the account of the conflict between the Yin and Zhou era in the
Fengshen Yanyi with the beautiful imaginary world of Taoism.


Sho Online brings fast game play, beautiful graphics, and realistic war
environments to each and every player of the game. Slaying intelligent
monsters, assisting fellow dynasty members and NPCs, and participating in
endless war between the two nations bent on expanding their territories are
how most players spend their time in the world of Sho Online.


Developed by adapting the advantages of both Eastern and Western cultures,
Sho Online presents a unique atmosphere and game play. Players will
experience something that they've never experienced before in the online
world.
 

Background Lore
The world of Sho Online is based on an intriguing cross of ancient Chinese
mythology and history.  While a thorough comprehension of the lore is
optional, there is no avoiding the critical decision players must make in
determining the destiny of their characters - choosing a side in an endless
struggle between two nations.


War System
When a war breaks out in the game, all players are eligible to participate
in a war.  Each nation attempts to take control of various territories and
defeat the opposing side's field commander.  Players have the unique option
of transforming themselves into a powerful siege weapon to rain destruction
on castles and players.


Pet System
Pets play an important role in the lives of the players' characters.
Players raise their pets from eggs to full grown beasts, nurturing them all
through their development.  They become powerful companions in adventure and
combat, assisting the players in numerous ways.


Character Development
Players choose from three different class types, each with two different
sub-class professions, providing a total of six career paths, each with its
own unique set of skills.  As players increase in class level, they can
switch between the two sub-class professions at key points if they so
choose, thus broadening the range of their skills.  Or they can stay focused
on and become the ultimate master of one profession.  As players progress,
they also can increase in rank and fame, adding even more opportunities for
enhancement.


Development of a player's character includes an extensive skill tree and a
dynamic weapon mastery system.  Leveling up provides players with skill
points to allocate as they see fit to three different categories of skills.
Not all skills can be maxed out, so users have endless options in the
direction they take their character development.  On top of skill
development, the use of different class weapons adds valuable real time
experience levels to the mastery of those weapons, thus providing extra
bonuses in combat.


Community Systems
Sho Online provides a very community oriented world.  Players may first form
bonds within their chosen Dynasty when they enter the world.  As they make
friends, they may form Parties for completing quests and gaining experience.
Finally, as their bonds grow stronger, they may create Houses in which to
further develop their social community, take on unique quests available only
to them, and compete in House battles with other Houses.


Weapon and Armor Manufacturing/Enchancement
Many different weapons, armor, and accessories can be manufactured and
enhanced by players in the game.  If a player can't seem to find or buy the
item he wants, he can just make it!
