For those of you that haven't checked this game out yet, I highly suggest you do. It's a very fresh take on the MMO genre, as the game is a hybrid MMORPG mixed with a Final Fantasy Tactics, turn-based battle gameplay. It's also Free to Play, but unlike many Free to Play games in the past, this one isn't harmed by that fact. It's extremely polished, and there are some awesome community features I've personally never seen before built right into the game. I'll save that for my impressions article which I should have up soon. For now, here's the press release we received related to the launch of the game.
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – Nov. 6, 2008
--
The official launch of Atlantica
Online is exceeding expectations.
The strategic turn-based MMORPG, which
sends players on a globe-hopping adventure around the Earth, has seen tremendous
growth since its debut with the number of daily unique players doubling. The average number of concurrent players
has increased by 300 percent since introduction and has filled servers to
capacity. NDOORS Interactive will
be opening new servers beginning Saturday, Nov. 8.
“The response for Atlantica has been
nothing short of amazing,” said Peter Kang, CEO, NDOORS Interactive. “We
understand that the foundation and lifeblood of every MMO is its community, and
we can’t thank our players enough.”
NDOORS is currently running a
promotion that gives players multiple chances to win thousands in cash and
prizes by participating in the game’s PvP area called the Free Leagues.
NDOORS is also hosting a satisfaction guarantee program. NDOORS will give $20 to qualified players
who decide they don’t want to continue with the game. Players have until Nov. 30 to win any
of
the bonuses or apply for the satisfaction guarantee
program.
Atlantica Online is set on Earth, in a parallel
reality that takes players through a fantastic journey to discover the lost
secrets of Atlantis. With its heavy
emphasis on strategy, Atlantica was designed to stand out amongst the
‘cookie-cutter’ MMOs. The strategic
gameplay incorporated into the turn-based combat, mercenary and country
management systems will appeal to strategy and RPG players.
