IP e-Games has finally launched the massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) Zhu Xian Online in the Philippines. Beijing-based Perfect World Co. Ltd developed this game. It is also the same group behind Perfect World Online, also published by Level Up! Games. This is the first time that e-Games introduced an online game developed by a Chinese company. Its previous games are all developed by Korean game companies. ZX Online is currently in “closed-beta” and will go on open beta during the first quarter of 2009. Closed-beta means the game is only open for selected or limited number of players who are often invited. ZX Online is based on a popular Internet novel of the same name. It features elements of a Chinese mythological love story, which involves Zhan Xiaofan, a man from the Righteous group was betrothed to Lu Xueqi. However, Zhan loved Biyao, the daughter of their enemy, the Heretics. Their rivalry is put aside as the Righteous and the Heretics are attacked by monsters and demons from the Middle Plain. ZX Online has received several awards in China, including recognition in the Baidu Top 10 Outstanding Online Games. ZX Online Community Manager Bea Navarette said the game the local publisher is deploying is the international English version, which will not require a lot of translation. Like many MMORPGs, ZX Online features a battle system, pets and mounts, flying and a "3D pathing" option, where players can just click on a location in the game's huge map and will automatically take characters to the designated point.
