The website of gamershell released an introduction to Endoors andAtlantica.
The details are as below:
EnDoors developed and services Atlantica Gold, introduced this MMORPG in Korea at the beginning of this year. The Atlantica Gold has been chosen as an official game of the GNGWC 2008 which will be hosted by KIPA and sponsored by KT Corporation. Gamers from around the world will compete to become the winner of the Atlantica Gold at GNGWC 2008.
In Atlantica, you will see present and past cultures of the world, including Egyptian and Mesopotamian, and you will be able to explore the Greek myths or the ruins of another ancient civilization. Unlike other MMORPGs, Atlantica applies battle systems and hired troops systems using a turn battle method.
The turn battle method allows gamers to play a battle between enemies and users including up to 8 hired troops in a 9 vs. 9 environment. It also has the option to make parties among 3 gamers so as to play a larger battle with a maximum of 27 vs. 27. There are a total of 18 troops currently available to choose from including troops with swords, spears, big cannons, or witches, and this feature will continue to be updated with other types of troops being added. Gamers can enjoy various strategic battles by combining these troops or by raising them.
Furthermore, a gamer can operate a city through guild activities and even make sub countries within their city. When becoming a lord, a gamer can obtain unique troops or items which are different from what other users have to choose from or can hire the people to empower his authority within the game.
The commercialized service of Atlantica commenced in January starting in Korea. Expansion is planned for services within Japan, China, the U.S. and Taiwan.
We visited EnDoors and talked to Taegon Kim, a program developer, about Atlantica which has received great attention from world wide gamers with its unique world aspects and systems.
1. First of all, what is 'Atlantica'?
As you may guess from the name of the game, it is composed of adventures to find the lost city/land of Atlantis. The background consists of the real world, i.e. Eurasia and etc. For example, you can see the real landmark such as Angkor Wat and play in the background of these and dungeons found within the game. The most exciting part of Atlantica is a 'battle' which applies a turn method. In the turn method, you can control 9 members and make 27 vs. 27 large battles by making parties with other users.
