The Renewal Date & Time: Scheduled on Wednesday, November 28th in 2007

ALERT! The Game Title Changed!

November 28th, 2007 Overview of Renewal Contents!

Renewal of Services

Change in the Payment System

The basic gameplay, including battles (Practice, Quests, Crashs, and Fights) is FREE instead of using the "Musou Gngeki" (Battle Passes) for one Crash/Practice/Quest Battle!

Therefore, they STOP selling the Battle Passes on November 25th, 2007 and any leftover of these Battle Passes will be able to buy items, furnitures, and others instead.

Also, from Novermber 28th, 2007, they will sell the "MUSOU COINS" instead!

Here is the comparison between the old and the new system...

  • 115 Battles Passes = 3,000 Yen (~$26.20 USD)
Consumption Method:

Consumption Method:
Use these Coins for consumption items (e.g. Peacock Urn, Speed Scroll, etc.), furniture purchase (for your character's house decoration), and enlargement in a house, so on...

For any leftover of Battle Passes and Old Coins by the time of renewal on November 28th, 2007...

  • Any leftover of Battle Passes will be worth 10 Musou Coins per a Musou Pass.
  • The Old Coins system will be gone. Any leftover "Old Coins" (the one that you get 2 Old Coins after each battle that you use the Battle Pass) will be worth 20 War Fund per an Old Coin.
The Server Time Change:
The server time will be 24 hours after the renewal on November 28th, 2007! (No more 6-hour server shut time!)

Renewal Game Contents:
All these updates will be effect on the renewal of Dynasty Warriors Online!

  • You can customize your weapons! You can remodel, reinforcement, and so on. It will be totally new system! <Ugh, so that weapon upgrade guide will not work!>

Vol. 3: The New "NetMarble ID" for BB-ID Users

Details: http://www.musou-bb.jp/announce/071116/01/vol3.html

All of these informations on this volume are ONLY APPLY to players who have BB-ID accounts. (Those players who played BEFORE the May 2007, when DWBB server is only limited to Yahoo! BB subscribers) Therefore, for this section, it does NOT apply to us at all! Unless, there are BB-ID players by a change, but less likely though as BB-ID, you need to be a Japanese with valid address to get one (due to billing).

It is simply that BB-ID now will NOT be able to use anymore for DW: Online on November 28th, 2007. You MUST RE-REGISTER OVER on the NetMarble website (http://www.netmarble.jp) for the NetMarble ID. You MUST use NetMarble ID to log-in to DW:Online instead of BB-ID.

The informations will be shifted from BB-ID to the new NetMarble ID by November 28th, 2007 @ 14:00 JST (5 AM GMT/12 Midnight EST).

For players with GAMECITY account, you DO NOT need to do this! You can play DW: Online with your OLD GAMECTTY account!
