The developers of Metin2 are breathing new life into the MMORPG of your childhood. For this, they have released the expansion Tyranny of Aamon, which not only brings a nasty final boss but also many other contents.
What kind of MMORPG is this? Metin2 was long considered the alternative to World of Warcraft. Due to the free-to-play model, many players in Germany opted for the MMORPG, which is distributed and has been developed by Gameforge for several years now.
By now, Metin2 is a real old-school MMORPG that will celebrate its 20th anniversary in Germany in 2025. Not only for this occasion have the developers at Gameforge released a new expansion, Tyranny of Aamon, which revolves around the nasty demon Aamon.
Here you can watch the trailer for the new expansion:
Nasty, nastier, Aamon
What can the new enemy do? Aamon is already known from Christian demonology, where he assists the even more evil demon Astaroth. In Metin2, however, Aamon acts on his own and rules over the new area “Moonshadow Valley”, which has been added with the expansion.
He himself also opposes the players and serves as the final boss of the new expansion. His special feature is the draining of your teammates as soon as they die in battle. Aamon feeds on their bodies and becomes stronger this way. The boss fight should therefore ideally be survived without losses.
For all players with Champion Level 10, the update Tyranny of Aamon brings a new main mission, new side quests, and also the new dungeon “Heart of Greed”. This can only be entered with special keys and a group.
In line with the new area, the expansion also brings new moonlight weapons as well as monsters that belong to the dark demon. There are also moonlight Metin stones that cannot be missed.
How to best start in Metin2? For those who haven’t looked into the old-school MMORPG for many years, there is currently a good opportunity to jump back into the game. The developers recently launched the so-called Yohara Boost Server.
There, all players can start anew and gain experience points and items faster. Additionally, the enemies are weaker, and there are always super stone events every Monday and Friday. The event servers only run until February, when all characters can then be transferred to the normal servers and then play with the main part of the community.
Metin2 is still a successful MMORPG today that continuously receives new updates. The fact that the developers are now releasing another expansion for the 20th anniversary likely means that there won’t be a farewell from the game anytime soon; on the contrary: the future could look bright.
