Cabal Online Latest Expansion: Soul & Siena!

2009-06-29T15:50:27Z

In CABAL Online, players are called upon to protect the people of Nevareth from an evil entity known as Cabal. Set in a diverse environment that includes ice temples, forgotten ruins, desert hideaways, mutant forests and volcanic citadels, CABAL engages players with dynamic quests that tie-in beautifully to the game's storyline and more than 300 dungeons to explore.

We currently have a Cabal download page in our free-to-play section and have received a recent update about the game and some of the new things coming in the Soul & Siena update!

Here's the latest information on the Soul & Siena Expansion for Cabal:

OGPlanet announced today that the Soul & Siena expansion is now live in CABAL Online, its action MMORPG. This expansion offers new challenges and rewards to the high-level veterans of CABAL Online.

Soul & Siena introduces the Soul Ability System, greatly expanding the skills that characters can acquire. Ability Experience Points will be earned alongside regular experience points, and can be spent on Essence Runes that give players the passive skills of their choosing. Players will begin acquiring Ability Experience Points when their characters reach level 120 and can earn them in fields, dungeons or Mission Wars. There are 26 unique Essence Runes available, representing such diverse combat skills as Knockback Resistance, Magic or Defense Increase, Experience Point Bonus, and Sword or Magic Skill Amplification.

Players itching to try out their newly gained skills need look no further than Altar of Siena, the brand-new dungeon located in MutantForest. Soon their characters will be adorned with the Shiny SIGMetal armor sets and epaulets that drop in the new dungeon.

In addition to all of the new in-game developments, OGPlanet is instituting a sub password system to let CABAL players further secure their accounts. Using a four-digit in-game numeric password system, players will be able to lock their characters, equipment and warehouse with three unique passwords. The system also uses a soft keyboard system with randomized numerical characters, making it impossible for hackers to gain these passwords through keylogging software.

Cabal Online Nation War

2008-05-16T03:14:54Z

Massive battles to take place on dedicated nation war serve each day. Cabal Online is going to have even more action then usual.

El Segundo, Calif.- May 15, 2008 - Beginning Thursday, May 15, players in OGPlanet's massively multiplayer online role-playing game CABAL ONLINE will be able to engage in warfare on a colossal scale with the launch of the Nation War server.

The Nation War server will be dedicated to the epic battle between the two nations represented in CABAL; Capella and Procyon. Each day, at 6 p.m. Pacific time, 100 warriors from each nation will struggle to overtake outposts controlled by massively powerful guardians, kill off the invaders from the other nation, and ultimately take control of the opposing nation's capitol to control the battlefield.

"We're continuously developing new ways to engage and challenge CABAL players," said Don Choi, COO of OGPlanet. "This massive battle between opposing nations will take player vs. player combat to a whole new level."

In order to enter the Nation War server, players must have leveled their characters to at least level 95, and must pay 1,000,000 Alz (CABAL's in-game currency). After a 30-minute preparation period, during which players can organize themselves, stock up on their needed items and plan strategies, the battle begins.

During Nation War, players' characters automatically receive greatly increased health, and are dressed in their respective national uniforms for easy identification on the battlefield. Each team begins the game with a set number of points, and as outposts are conquered and occupied, points are accumulated. These points can then be used to activate Force Towers, and Legacy Weapons which can be wielded by players during the battle will appear.

The Nation War will end when one nation overtakes the other nation's base and destroys all its enemies. If neither nation accomplishes this goal, points earned by killing enemy players or by occupying enemy bases and neutral outposts will decide the winner.

Once the Nation War has ended, each participant will receive Alz and items proportionate to their contributions to the war. On Saturdays, as well as designated special occasions, Mission Nation War will take place. Every member of the victorious nation, not just those who actually participated in the fight, will receive rewards after these special battles.

OGPlanet Declares War in Cabal Online

2008-05-06T14:03:10Z

New War Channel Provides Limitless Player vs. Player Action

El Segundo, Calif.- May 05, 2008 Now players in OGPlanet's massively multiplayer online role-playing game CABAL ONLINE can fully satisfy their desire for brutal, no-holds-barred player vs. player combat.

In CABAL ONLINE's recently launched War Channel, the rules that normally govern polite society no longer apply. Instead of being limited to civilized, mutually agreed-upon duels, players can engage their enemies whenever and wherever they choose. Each player kill in the War Channel will be rewarded with one Honor Point.

"CABAL ONLINE players now have the ability to experience all-out player vs. player combat if they so choose," said Don Choi, COO of OGPlanet. "Many MMO players consider PvP the ultimate test of skill, and providing a space for unhindered PvP battle lets them really test their skills under pressure."

While the open format of the War Channel allows for chaotic free-for-all battle, teams and nations can also join together to occupy cities, thus beginning on ongoing struggle for control. The War Channel lives up to its name, with the option of engaging in a full-scale war readily available to players who are up to the challenge.

Cabal Online Launches in North America

2008-03-03T20:02:47Z

OGPlanet Offers Full-Service MMORPG Using Free-to-Play Model

El Segundo, Calif.- Feb. 29, 2008- OGPlanet, an innovative provider of multiplayer online games, today announced the North American commercial launch of CABAL ONLINE, a full-service massively multiplayer online game that already boasts nearly 1 million players in more than 12 countries throughout Asia and Europe .

"The launch of CABAL ONLINE is a huge event for us," said David Hoffman, Executive Producer for OGPlanet. "The beta testing periods were met with a very positive reception, and we're anxious to watch CABAL's popularity in North America grow. We're thrilled to be able to provide an MMO of this caliber under a free-to-play model."

Although CABAL was developed with a subscription-based model in mind, OGPlanet is offering the game under a free-to-play system, consistent with the company's model. An option to purchase in-game items does exist, but the purchasable items will not be integral to the gameplay experience.

"It is important to us to find a balance ensuring our players the full experience of CABAL Online without paying a penny," said Hoffman. "The items purchasable by Astros, our OGPlanet-wide in-game currency, will give players ways to make it from 'Point A' to 'Point B' more quickly, but won't give them any sort of permanent advantage over players who might not have the budget to utilize the Cash Shop. We're very pleased with the result: a free-to-play MMORPG with everything you would expect from a subscription-based game."

CABAL ONLINE can be downloaded at http://cabal.ogplanet.com/.

About CABAL ONLINE

In CABAL ONLINE, players are called upon to protect the people of Nevareth from an evil entity known as CABAL. Centuries ago, the evil CABAL all but destroyed Nevareth, but the land was saved and rebuilt by seven great masters wielding the ancient abilities of Force Power. Nearly a thousand years later, CABAL has returned, and it is up to players to master the intricacies of the Force Power and use them to save Nevareth.

Set in a diverse environment that includes ice temples, forgotten ruins, desert hideaways, mutant forests and volcanic citadels, CABAL engages players with dynamic quests that tie-in beautifully to the game's storyline and more than 300 dungeons to explore. With 170 levels, CABAL is conducive to either hardcore or casual game play.

CABAL includes both Player vs. Environment and Player vs. Player gameplay, with some servers designated specifically for PvP combat. An option that allows players to manually attack, rather than auto-attacking targets, provides additional control and accuracy, which is especially noticeable in PvP combat. In a unique approach to moderating PvP combat, players who continuously kill, or "gank," lower-level players will be transported to an in-game jail, where they will wander a seemingly endless maze until their sentence is complete.

Additional CABAL ONLINE features include:

An interactive combat system that utilizes combination attacks (precision and timing sensitive) to deliver blow after blow with NPC and PvP encounters.
Six distinctive classes of characters-Warrior, Force Archer, Blader, Force Shielder, Wizard and Force Blader-each offering an entirely unique game play experience within CABAL.
An in-game downloadable jukebox that allows players to download their own songs to play while they take on CABAL.
A fluid fighting interface that brings intuitive and elegant motions to players' fingertips. Different classes bring unique movements and actions to their character both in and out of the battle zone.
All in-game items can be crafted into new items or enhancement.
A dynamic character-creation tool with more than 200 options.
More than 300 dungeons featuring highly original and challenging quest designs to explore.
Magical and mystical unlockables enhance healing, attacking, crafting and shielding powers.
Astral cycles and boards allow players to travel great distances in short amounts of time.
Hundreds of weapon styles, ranging from blade, bow and arrow, guns, and magic, are available.
Supports multi-player Server-Client.
A state-of-the-art game engine delivers stunning, high-polygon-count 3D graphics at a sustainable high frame rate, even on low-end machines.
Unparalleled special effects: dynamic lighting shading, Z-buffering, particle-based effects.
An engine designed and built by a staff experienced with massive network traffic management to minimize any latency.
Supports most popular 3D hardware accelerators.

The Guild Tournament

November’s Guild Tournament went off very well even though we didn’t have many guilds enter. There were many excellent fights. Mercury was represented by Unemployed in the S v S match and by Knights of Shadow for Mars. It was a close call in the final match as Unemployed put a really good fight against KOS taking one fight off them and narrowly missing a second in their matches. Congratulation to the winner of the tournament in November: Knights of Shadow!
