It features premium packages as well as a vast selection of unique items for sale including vanity pieces, potions and more. It doesn’t feature items that will give you too much of an advantage over other players but it does offer a variety of consumables and dress up material to customize your characters.

Other major launch updates include a brand new introductory sequence which introduces new players to the story and lore behind Warrior Epic, as well as a Random Map Generator that allows players playing the same quest to participate within a totally new dungeon. In addition, an all-new guild system gives players the chance to create their own guild, invite members, create a guild motto and host guild contests and tournaments.
