"The Elder Scrolls OL" Chinese version
The "The Elder Scrolls" series released by Bethesda Softworks has developed to this day and has become a world-renowned game IP. The launch of "The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim" (2011) has brought the series IP to a new level, and it is still one of the popular games that players love at this moment.
"The Elder Scrolls ONLINE" perfectly continues this classic IP, leading players to come to the second era of the Tamrier Continent and experience an adventure. Here we will start with a prisoner and embark on a journey of retrieving our souls and saving the world. Immerse yourself in the endless grand and open world, and choose freely from various starting places. You can either be alone or with friends.

Since the first release of "The Elder Scrolls OL", more than 21 million players have played content updates for nearly 8 years, including the latest chapter expansion package "Takashima". For domestic players, the biggest regret of "The Elder Scrolls OL" is that it does not have official Chinese, which has also led to the fact that this game has always been a niche among domestic players. However, all regrets end on November 1, and the official Chinese of "The Elder Scrolls OL" officially arrived.
Now, the year-long story of "The Brighton Man's Immortal Myth", with the launch of the new DLC "Yan Song", has ushered in its epic finale, which is a good time for players to join the game.

"Endless Mission 2"
"Endless Mission 2" is a sequel to the classic masterpiece "Endless Mission" developed by Sony online entertainment. It started operation in North America on November 8, 2004. It is also a classic PC game in the same era of "World of Warcraft".
This game has a super rich race settings. There are 19 types of people who can choose from, including common humans, elves, dwarves, and the strange frogman, rat man, cave giant, etc. Each race has unique talent skills.
" Endless Mission 2" is set 500 years after the EQ "Divine Realm" storyline. Due to geological changes, the Antonica continent was torn into smaller islands, known as the "Broken Islands." The connection between the various plates of Noras was cut off due to changes in the ocean, and the moon "Lukarin" was also bombed into pieces for some reason and could not land.
Although the national server "Endless Mission 2" was not as popular as "World of Warcraft", it was officially discontinued in March 2006 after several twists and turns.
However, in the US server "Endless Mission 2", it is still in operation and still has very little popularity.
In addition, the game has been logged on to the Steam platform, and it is more convenient for domestic players to join the game. Interested players can go and experience this classic game again.
"Lord of the Rings OL"
Since we have finished talking about "Endless Mission 2", we have to mention another European and American MMORPG masterpiece "Lord of the Rings OL" that can be called "Endless Mission 2".
"Lord of the Rings" movie is believed to be familiar to many people in China. Of course, such a well-known work is adapted into a game. "Lord of the Rings OL" is an online game based on the movie of the same name. The game is committed to restoring various scenes in the game and creating a fantastic Middle-earth world for players.
After World of Warcraft was a success, domestic game companies focused on other European and American PC games. "Lord of the Rings OL" was introduced to China during that period. Unfortunately, the operation level of the Chinese server agent China.com was really poor, which caused the game to fade away quickly, and many players didn't even know that there was such a game.
In terms of background, "Lord of the Rings OL" has a background that is not inferior to "World of Warcraft". Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy is used as a set, and the epic main mission runs through the entire game, with the halo of the popular Lord of the Rings movie at that time, it is simply delicious. The gameplay and graphics are good, which is more free and more exquisite than World of Warcraft at that time. When the game first came out, it also received widespread praise from the media and players overseas. At that time, many players commented that "Lord of the Rings OL" was a masterpiece that could compete with "World of Warcraft"!
Although the national server "Lord of the Rings OL" officially announced its suspension on January 21, 2012, the foreign server "Lord of the Rings OL" is still in operation until today, and it has also logged on to the Steam platform.
Players who like European and American style MMORPG can also try it.
"Tower of Eternity"
Since it was launched in 2005, "World of Warcraft" has occupied half of domestic online games. Since then, many games have played the slogans that have replaced them, but most of them are limited to slogans. However, in 2009 there was a game that really had some replacement power, that is "Tower of Eternity".
is a top masterpiece produced by Ncsoft, and has attracted the attention of many players after "Tower of Eternity" was just released. The exquisite game graphics and huge world view setting that is not inferior to World of Warcraft, even made many players believe that the Tower of Eternity could replace World of Warcraft's status at that time.
The theme of this work is "war". Ncsoft has also absorbed the successful experience of "World of Warcraft" in setting camp forces, and designed three different races, namely "Celestial Clan", "Demon Clan" and "Dragon Clan" for "Tower of Eternity". The story mainly revolves around the war between these three, which can achieve large-scale "race vs race".
players can become the heavenly clan or the demon clan, while the dragon clan is the monster and NPC. There is a relationship of competition, confrontation or cooperation between the three, and players can experience large-scale racial wars. The Heavenly Clan and the Demon Clan can work together to attack the Dragon Clan, or they can store NPCs under the flag as companions, narrowing the territory of hostile players.
Although "Tower of Eternity" did not replace World of Warcraft's status in the end, it is still in normal operation with its solid content. Moreover, taking advantage of the success of the "Tower of Eternity" nostalgic server, "Tower of Eternity" has also launched its own nostalgic server, attracting a large number of old players to return. Interested players can also experience this game that once challenged World of Warcraft.
"The Lost Ark" US server
In this inventory, "The Lost Ark" should be the youngest MMORPG. After all, in recent years, facing the impact of mobile games, the popularity of the PC game market has dropped a lot.
"Lost Ark" is an MMORPG developed by Smilegate, a developer of "Cross Fire". The game was developed for 7 years and invested 100 billion won (equivalent to about 612 million yuan). The game was officially launched in 2018. The game has been logged in Korean, Japanese and Russian servers. The US server will be launched on February 12, 2022 and will be logged on to the Steam platform, but the game will be locked in the country.
The battle method of "Lost Ark" is a bit similar to the " Diablo " series, using a downward perspective to control and fight, but in "Lost Ark", you cannot experience the fun of exploring maps and building BD in traditional dark games. It takes MMO's group book gameplay as the core and has rich and complete PVE and PVP gameplay. The
game also inherits the consistent characteristics of Korean games. The impact during combat is very good and the effect is also very gorgeous. In addition to normal monster-brushing gameplay, you can also perform many interesting gameplays such as digging, cutting trees, fishing, treasure hunting, and hunting.In "The Lost Ark", players can also choose more casual gameplay, such as basking in the beach, playing in the sand, and even going to nightclubs to have a carnival, and they can also build their own shelter and build their own home.
"The Lost Ark" US server started to experience it first at 1 a.m. on February 9 this year. The game became a hit as soon as it was launched. The highest online peak of more than 500,000 people was launched for 8 hours, surpassing games such as "CSGO" and "DOTA2" and ranked first in Steam. It is definitely the most popular MMORPG game launched in recent years. Interested players should not miss it.
"Sword Net 3"
talks about a lot of foreign games, let's talk about a few domestic PC games. The first thing to be affected is "Sword Net 3", after all, it can be regarded as a game of the same period of "World of Warcraft". At that time, "Sword Net 3" was even rated as the Chinese martial arts version of "World of Warcraft" by many players.
Kingsoft is one of the oldest game companies in China. The early " Swordsman Love " stand-alone series was known as the domestic " Three Swords " and is a game enlightenment work for many players. After entering the era of online games, Kingsoft also seized the opportunity to switch the "Swordsman Love" series from stand-alone to online games. After training in "Swordsman 1" and "Swordsman 2", Kingsoft officially launched its own ace game in 2009, which is the martial arts online game "Swordsman 3", which is still popular and affects the first generation of Chinese young girls. The
game brings a traditional Chinese martial arts world to many players, integrating poetry, singing and dancing, silk, guqin , drinking culture, tea art, music and other elements with the characteristics of Chinese traditional culture into the game, showing players a magnificent and magnificent Tang world.
martial arts version of "World of Warcraft" "Sword Net 3" did not disappoint. Today's "Sword Net 3" is no longer as simple as a game. After more than ten years of development, "Sword Net 3" has developed into a large IP complex covering multiple aspects such as games, musicals, film and television.
In terms of the game body, "Swordsman Love III" is also constantly updating a brand new game expansion pack to ensure the activity of players. Previously, the game was remastered with a new engine, and the launch of "Swordsman Love Three: Remake" has completely improved the picture quality of this old game ten years ago.
