Atlantica Online OPEN Beta
begins, Players Compete for Thousands in CASH AND Prizes
NDOORS is giving gamers the
opportunity to win cash, gaming hardware and in‑game items while they try out
the strategic, turn-based MMORPG Atlantica Online. Open beta testers will have
multiple chances to win through participation in the game’s PvP arena called the
Free Leagues.
Individual prizes range from cash to
game systems such as the Nintendo Wii and electronics like the iPod Nano. The
value of the prizes will scale up as the total number of participants in the
Free Leagues increases, up to a $10,000 cash prize if 30,000 players
participate. Players who reach Level 20 and fight in the Free Leagues will be
eligible for random drawings during the course of the beta. Free League
participants can also compete for cash and prizes in single-elimination PvP
tournaments. The random drawings and tournaments will be held when each of the
milestones for players in the Free Leagues — 5,000; 10,000; 20,000 and 30,000
players — are reached.
“NDOORS created something unique in
the MMO world when we designed the deep turn-based, strategic world of Atlantica
Online. So we decided we needed something just as original for our open beta,”
said Peter Kang, CEO, NDOORS Interactive. “This is going to be unlike anything
anyone has seen before.”
Atlantica Online is set in a
parallel universe that takes players on an exciting journey to unravel the
hidden secrets of Atlantis. With its heavy emphasis on strategy, Atlantica was
designed to stand out amongst the ‘cookie-cutter’ MMOs.
The strategic game play incorporated
into the turn-based combat, mercenary and nation management systems will appeal
to strategy and RPG players. The turn-based combat system offers players the
chance to strategically plan every move of the nine characters in their group.
The mercenary system gives players the chance to manage multiple characters’
development simultaneously. The town/nation management system adds a layer of
strategic play where guilds establish control of cities or even countries and go
to war with each other.
