Sho Online - Story & Features »
Authored by Deborah Willis on 2008-09-18 12:01:29

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!
