			<title><![CDATA[New Tales of Pirates II Coming Soon]]></title>
			<description>
			<![CDATA[ 
Good news! IGG will launch the Tales of Pirates II very soon. Included are a variety of amazing new features, including a friendly UI design, improved game controls, the new Phyllis Crusader class, and a brand new PVP Arena. Now let’s pull back the curtains and take a look at what's coming when Tale of Pirates II debuts!I. New challenges await in the PVP Arena.
When ToP II arrives, it will bring with it a new PVP Arena. In this new arena players can choose for themselves whether to watch the action or jump right in and get their hands dirty. Huge prizes and eternal glory await...
 
II. Amazing Rear Fairy skills.Fairies are players’ constant companions, assisting them in battle and keeping them company on long journeys. The ToP II will introduce a unique new pet, the Rear Fairy. Rear Fairies follow along behind their master just like other fairies, but they are able to directly grant users a certain amount of bonus attack or defense, or reduce their opponent's defense.

 
III.  The Phyllis Crusader is Unveiled.The Phyllis Crusader is something players have been waiting ages for – and it's finally here. Will she be as graceful and beautiful wielding twin blades? We'll soon find out. One thing that is sure, she has been a hotly debated part on the forum, and her legions of fans will no doubt find she is more than suited for the role!

 
IV. Pirates' AuguryThe Augurs always appear amidst mysterious colors in the world. With their help you can get things done quicker than normal, and with less trouble. Their magic Crystal Ball will give you insights on where to look for fortune and how to avoid common pitfalls. Go try your luck, and see what they can do for you! 
 

 
V. Excellent Auto-Trace FunctionFor those players who often have a tough time navigating such a large 3D game world, the new auto trace function will be somewhat of a relief. Never lose your way while looking for an obscure NPC again!VI.  Friendly UI Designs
ToP II will bring with it very friendly UI designs. We've streamlined player controls, and given it a sharper, edgier overall look. 
Be the first to experience what the new Tales of Pirates has to offer when the Alpha Test starts. 
Don't be shy! Raise your colors and set sail for adventure! 
Have Fun!!

The TOP Team
IGG
