May 11, 2010 is scheduled to be the official release date of the expansion, one that introduces the Eastern region of Khitai, its lore and people.

It has also been announced that a combined retail package of the core game and its expansion will be set for distribution, plus additional several in-game items like a tamed puma for a pet.

It might sound like every other forest area found in other MMOs, but the trailer and pictures show a more mystical atmosphere in Paikang. Purple skies loom over stone ruins and treetop villages. Savage apes lurk in the jungle thicket while amphibious monsters pose danger while walking along the idyllic shorelines. As with the rest of the expansion, a strong East Asian theme persists in this region. We wish more monsters were shown though because the stunning backgrounds of Paikang would be a waste without epic battles playing out at the forefront.
