Smilegate has launched “Helena,” a new Growth Boost Server for its MMORPG LORDNINE, alongside a lineup of anniversary events marking the game’s first year of service.
Developed by NX3GAMES, the new server officially opened on July 29 at 7:00 p.m. (UTC+8) and is designed to help players level up faster through enhanced progression features.
The Helena server grants 50% additional EXP from Mastery Buffs compared to existing servers, allowing players to accelerate character growth. To further support early progression, Smilegate is also providing rewards that boost character Combat Power. Players who pre-registered beginning July 14 will receive an exclusive limited-edition character skin.
As part of the anniversary update, Smilegate also introduced Scythe, a brand-new Weapon Mastery that expands the game’s combat system.
The Scythe is a massive two-handed melee weapon inspired by the Reaper’s iconic weapon. It combines short skill cooldowns with high mobility while also offering ranged attack capabilities. Its signature Soul Harvest mechanic allows players to absorb monster souls with a certain probability, strengthening Scythe skills and adding a new strategic layer to combat.
To celebrate both the launch of Helena and LORDNINE’s first anniversary, Smilegate is holding several in-game events featuring rewards for both new and existing players.
One of the highlights is a USDT Reward Event with a total prize pool worth 32,000 USDT. Players who become the first to reach Character Level 100 can earn rewards of up to 10,460 USDT each.
Additional anniversary activities will run until September 18, including the First Anniversary Login Event and Mission Event.
Players who participate can earn three Epic Avatars, Epic Artifacts, and up to 1,111 Summon Tickets, providing valuable resources for character progression.
LORDNINE is available across Asia, with more information on the Helena server, anniversary events, and reward mechanics available through the game’s official website and social media channels.
