Season's Greetings, CO fans!

With the new "Invasion of Pirates" expansion coming our way, the open server test will unveil the true identity of the dreaded Pirate class now!

Starting on Dec. 29th, the Public Server Test will commence. All testers will be required to download a special client in order to login to the test server. The special client can be downloaded directly from 2 locations: our official download link or the mirror.

The main purpose for the server test is to assess the balance between the different classes, focusing on the addition of the Pirate class to the game, as well as the skills for the Pirate. The PvP combat between Pirates and other classes should be done in different situations, different levels, and different Battle Power! In order to make testing the features easier for the testers, there will be several NPCs scattered around Twin City. By talking to each of them, you can claim a set of equipment for your current class. CPs can also be claimed from the NPCs, as well.

Other things to note, Pistols cannot be composed with other one-handed weapons, but the Rapier can. And as notorious as Pirates are, PK points for kills will be reduced from 10 per kill, to 5. So, more PvP action is highly encouraged!

You can view the list of skills for the Pirate, here. You will notice that the requirement to learn "Black Spot" is set at Level 90 in the test server, but when the official release comes out, it will be set down to Level 40!

In addition, there will be a one-week-long Double EXP event for all servers after the Public Server Test begins. There will be a gift pack for the luckyplayers,who will berandomly selectedand haveposted on the official CO forum about bugs found in the process of testing, as well as posting suggestions and feedback on the new features! The Pirate will be the hardest class to master, so prepare yourself for the upcoming war for the world of Conquer!

Prize: A gift pack that contains a 500 Modesty Book(B), a 7-day random garment, 2 EXP Balls (B), a 7-day Tiger Mount Armor, a random 7-day Phase 3 Dragon Soul, a small Praying Stone (B), and a random 7-day Super Refinery item!
