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

December 17, 2009

Nival Network is pleased to announce an agreement with NetDragon Websoft Inc. to localize and operate the free to play MMORPG Eudemons Online in Russia and the CIS.

Demons are mysterious, supernatural beings, actively involved in people's lives. They serve as keepers, ready to defend their masters in combat, increasing their might and protecting them from damage. Every adventurer needs one to survive in a harsh fantasy universe. What kind will it be? Players decide individually. Wizard, warrior or faithful mount – any creature that comes into the mortal world will be a reliable attendant. Like the heroes themselves, they evolve and improve over time and acquire new abilities. They are weapons, guardians and above all, good friends.

However, even a loyal demon is no substitute for a reliable companion in battle. By uniting in a guild or family, players gain support and find associates. Their assistance is useful not only when facing monsters, but also in battles with rival groups. PvP encounters rage throughout the game’s world, both on a massive scale and duels. Wealth and true friendship await those who dare to set foot on this harsh land, where the supernatural is normal, and demons fight alongside the inhabitants.

Key features:

• Personal guardian demons: each player can call upon a demon that becomes a loyal ally, helps in battles, develops and acquires new skills;

• Advanced social model: players can form military unions (guilds), arrange weddings and create  families;
 
• PvP battles suited to every preference: massive clashes involving entire guilds and families, as well as duels in which players fight for the right to place their statues in the Hall of Fame;

• Castles: high-level characters can have their own citadels.  Along with the surrounding lands, these can be equipped to the owners' liking, and can have a personal teleport to any location;

• Hierarchical system: guild roles and responsibilities may be distributed to members, from mere privates to deputy leader.
