Nival Network to publish Conquer Online in Russia and the CIS countries

November 25, 2009

Nival Network proudly announces the signing of an agreement with NetDragon Websoft Inc. to operate the localized version of free to play MMORPG Conquer Online in Russia and the CIS countries.

Conquer Online has already achieved enormous popularity throughout the world, uniting millions of fans in Europe, North America, China and Southeast Asia. Soon, Russian players will also have the opportunity to appreciate its unique strengths.

The game boasts a multifaceted social model providing exceptional scope for interaction among the players. The mutual help, generosity and assistance that are vital parts of the Conquer Online experience are embodied in its distinctive mentoring element. Experienced veterans can help beginners and receive tangible rewards, while the newcomers gain wise instructors and patrons.

Each player has an opportunity to start a family or enter into high society, becoming a Baron, a Knight or even a King or Queen. The more honorable the title, the greater the benefits. However, climbing to the top of the social pyramid and becoming the monarch is very difficult task since there cannot be more than three in the game at one time. 

Conquer Online isn't just about fighting monsters and engaging in PvP battles. It’s an entire world in which everyone can settle, build a home and occupy a prestigious place in society!

Game features:

• Sophisticated social system - players help each other, receive noble titles and marry;
• Housing - players can build and furnish their own houses, then invite their friends to party;
• Offline mode for hero advancement - characters can improve skills at special arenas even when players aren't connected;
• Character reincarnation - after reaching a certain level, players can experience the "rebirth" of their current characters, with the new ones gaining additional abilities and more powerful skills;
• Riding - a variety of animal mounts that can improve their levels just like the player characters;
• Low system requirements - the game is playable on a broad range of hardware.
