MU's Monarch SEA Sets Sail

MU: Monarch, a highly anticipated MMORPG adaptation of the popular South Korean MU series, has officially launched in Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines. This international release brings a classic, long-running MMORPG to a new audience. The game features four unique, original classes—Dark Knight, Dark Wizard, Elf, and Magic Gladiator—providing diverse gameplay experiences.

Instead of typical in-game launch rewards, players can participate in a celebratory raffle. A key feature highlighted in the game's marketing is its robust trading system. This system incorporates a randomized loot drop mechanic, allowing players to acquire even rare items and subsequently trade them with others, fostering a dynamic player-driven economy.
