Conquer Online is celebrating its remarkable 7th anniversary by giving its players an expansion based on user comments and requests. Conquer Online is an MMO based on the kung fu and magic of ancient Chinese lore that has been crane-kicking the free-to-play MMO scene since 2003. Conquer Online attributes the length of its 7 year stint to a committed and active community and bills the new expansion as a gift and thank you to those loyal players.

The new expansion, entitled "Legends Return," will feature all the best of the user suggested content gathered from their 2010 New Year's Resolutions event. Topping the list is a new Monk class, a new skill system, high grade equipment and new wars between guilds. The first chapter of the expansion is titled “Shadow of Darkness” and will release in April, with the other 2 chapters releasing throughout the rest of the year.

Conquer Online started with the humble beginnings of only 1500 players in 2003 and eventually grew to 65 servers and over 60,000 players online at one time in 2006. The release of Conquer Online 2.0 and its subsequent free expansions, The New Dynasty: Ninja Class in 2008 and Riding Clans in 2009, expanded the game's appeal and versions were released in Spanish, French, Chinese and Arabic.  Never one to disappoint its fans, Conquer Online also features a "Classic CO" server for players who want to experience Conquer Online 1.0 and explore the roots of this successful franchise.
