Shadow of Legend(SOL) is to be updated to v0.8.10.0 on July 16, 2008 during the routine server maintenance hours (7:00 am to 10:00am GMT). List bellowed is the update content: New Features:
1. Arena System:
It's an exclusive map area, where players, whether they are from the same camp or not, can compete with each other. The winner gets XP and Honor Points as rewards.
a) Arena entrances:
Union: Phynas (530,740)NPC Contestant Namowen
Chaos: Greyrock Castle (789,470) NPC Contestant Namowen
b) Open hours: 19:00-21:00PDT(2:00-4:00GMT), half hour per session).
c) How it works:
- Level ranges for the Arena: 40-59, 60-74, 75+. Players are recommended to choose one appropriate to their levels.
- The capacity for this arena is 50 gamers each round. Once a camp has 2 more members than the other camp, it has to stop enlisting, taking account of the dropouts.
- Each round of competition lasts 30 minutes, during which any gamer is allowed to join in as long as there's still at least 5 minutes to go and the player count is less than 50.
- There's a 5-minute preparation time prior to the kickoff , and then a 1-minute countdown.
- Players killed in the Arena are teleported out and can not re-enter for the current round.
- Though players get rewarded with XP for killing anyone, only by killing players of rival team can win the Honor Points. Conversely, being killed by players of rival team deducts one's Honor Points.
- When time is up, the system empties the arena, and all players in the arena are delivered outside.
- Everyone gets/keeps 3 flasks of Anti-dematerializing Lotion (bound) on entrance, each of which is effective for 3 minutes. This potion is used in the Arena only to detect invisible players, 3 flasks every round.
- Neither Random Scroll nor marauding Flavorant is permitted inside the Arena.
- Players with red name or under marauding Flavorant are not allowed to enter.

Union: Phynas, NPC Located at (632, 698)
Chaos: Greyrock Castle, NPC located at(565, 330)
c) How it works:
- There're 3 NPCs on each stock. Only one is designated to teleport you to the next stock. Wrong choices render you to a stock you have previously been.
- There's one Experience Envoy for every 5 stocks. Players can click it and reap XP. The further(deeper) one ventured, the greater the XP will be. At the final stock, players are given the chance to get high grade materials.
- The Sparkling Labyrinth is refreshed on a daily basis.
