Soul of the Ultimate Nation: OB Starts with Two Tantalizing Events

IRVINE, Calif. - Sept. 21, 2009 - Just about anyone can play, but being declared victorious is reserved for a brave few. Starting now, the epic fantasy massively multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG) Soul of the Ultimate Nation is touting two tantalizing events on the hardcore gaming portal, ijji.com, to celebrate the beta opening of this sinister MMO - and only the strong will survive. The deadline to qualify for the Ultimate Hero events is Oct. 5, 2009, which will mark the close of two unique, high-stakes trials of the game and access to various mind-blowing prizes for the proclaimed heroes.

"We are celebrating the opening of one of the most unique and exhilarating MMOs coming to gamers," said Philip Yun, CEO, NHN USA, which hosts ijji.com. "The free-to-play genre has much to look forward to as the line continues to blur between online and console games, and ijji.com revels in its position to pioneer that shift. In commemoration of Soul of the Ultimate Nation’s premier, we present two challenging events complete with prizes worth dying for - at least your character dying, anyway."

Soul of the Ultimate Nation is a fantasy MMORPG set in a world ravaged by corruption and war. The Immortal Emperor governed the Brakion continent with a dark and secret knowledge in his possession - the existence of Ether. Converting the valuable Ether into dark energy and using it to conquer the entire continent with his terrifying, demonic armies, the Immortal Emperor impoverished the land causing the ruling classes to turn to alliances with neighboring nations to continue its supremacy. Stemming from oblique dealings and intimate secrets among the royal families, two opposing dynasties blossomed. Enveloped in graphically stunning settings and intricate story lines, dotted with harrowing surprises lurking behind dark shadows, players will relish in the ever-expanding fantasy world that is Soul of the Ultimate Nation.
