Smilegate has announced the launch of “Helena,” a new server for its popular MMORPG LORDNINE, developed by NX3GAMES, opening on July 29, 2026, at 7:00 PM (UTC+8). The server promises unprecedented player rewards and a host of special events to commemorate both the game’s first anniversary and the new server’s debut.
The Helena server is a Growth Boost Server, offering players a 50% additional EXP boost from Mastery Buffs compared to existing servers. This new feature is designed to help both new and returning players accelerate character progression and enjoy a more dynamic gaming experience from the start.
Smilegate is further supporting player growth on Helena by providing special rewards that increase character Combat Power, giving participants a head start in the game’s competitive environment. Players who pre-registered for the server from July 14 are entitled to an exclusive, limited-edition skin as a special welcome gift.
In celebration of LORDNINE’s first anniversary, Smilegate has also introduced a new Weapon Mastery: Scythe. Modeled after the Reaper’s iconic weapon, the Scythe is a two-handed melee weapon known for its short skill cooldowns, mobility, and powerful ranged attacks. Its unique Soul Harvest mechanic allows players to absorb the souls of monsters, powering up their skills and adding a strategic layer to combat.
A series of in-game events will mark the Helena launch and the game’s anniversary. Among these is a USDT Reward Event featuring a total prize pool of 32,000 USDT. Players who are the first to achieve Character Level 100 can claim rewards of up to 10,460 USDT per winner. More information on the USDT event is available on the official LORDNINE website.
Until September 18, players can also participate in the First Anniversary Login Event and Mission Event. By taking part, they can earn up to 3 Epic Avatars and Artifacts as well as 1,111 Summon Tickets, adding further value and excitement for both newcomers and veterans.
The launch of Helena, along with new gameplay features and generous anniversary rewards, underscores Smilegate’s commitment to expanding the LORDNINE experience and supporting player growth across Southeast Asia.
