The9's innovative MMO Era Zero has already drawn a lot of attention due to its steam-punk style. Set in an imaginary background and based on a steam-punk style, Era Zero creates a mysterious world where technology and magic co-exist.

Time City in Era Zero
The game's storyline depicts humans returned to the Earth after the end of the world 2012, and joined forces with the Mayans and elves to fight against the Dark Congress that attempted to govern the whole world. In the game world, there is a kind of miraculous energy called Divine Source, which can dominate the evolvement of the world, provide magic energy as well as power steam machines.

Under the attack of the Dark Congress, humans, elves and Mayans formed a Freedom Alliance. Making use of the Divine Source, they started the Time City project and floated in the air with surviving fellows to get away from war. To prevent Time City from being attacked by the Dark Congress, the Mayans merged the power from water and fire elements and used the taboo magic Last Judgment to heavily damage the Dark Congress.

Dedicated to researching the perfect combination of technology and magic, Freedom Alliance finally invented the Steam Airship. However, with the passage of time, the Divine Source gradually drained away. If no new energy could be found, Time City would fall from the sky and turn into ash. Hence, the Freedom Alliance had no choice but to work out the time gate to some boundaries. To look for the new energy and defend their homeland, batches of warriors were ready to enter the territory of the Dark Congress.
