Ragnarok Online 2 To Be Released Next Year?

Posted: 17 Aug 2010 09:10 PM PDT


Ragnarok Online is among the very few Korean titles that has considerably impacted gaming in the Western hemisphere not to mention the Philippine MMORPG landscape. It is also the first MMORPG popularized by game developer Gravity. It was only until now that something was heard out of RO's sequel, Ragnarok Online 2. Though Ragnarok 2 was already released as an open beta in Korea back in 2007, its Unreal 2.5 engine was delivering poorly and Gravity had to pull the plug.

When asked what happened to Ragnarok 2 in a recent Gstar Conference at Korea, Global Business Manager Yunghun Lee responded "It's a difficult question to answer," attesting that the 2007 RO2 wasn't enough for the market. He added that the game now runs in Gamebryo engine, and is completely different from its failed version after undergoing major changes.

Lee said in the conference that the RO2's completion is nearing, stating "We're going to release the game next year."

To clarify, Gravity probably means they will release Ragnarok 2 for public consumption for the Korean market. Still, no WORD re the Ragnarok Online 2 english version. =(

Car Town partners with Big Auto Brands

Posted: 17 Aug 2010 07:53 PM PDT


Car Town, developed by Cie Games, was launched on facebook a couple of weeks ago and now has began generating more business by partnering with the biggest automobile brands.

Honda was among the first automakers to leap into the Car Town franchise, and will be showcasing an in-game showroom to display its new hybrid car, CR-Z sport. Expect to see virtual billboards within the game, displaying the new sports car as part of Honda's advertising campaign.

Other automobile makers advertising in Car Town are Dodge, General Motors, Lamborghini, DeLorean, Land Rover, Ford, Fisker, Dodge, Mazda, Lotus, McLaren, Nissan, Opel, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Ram Truck, Scion, and Volkswagen. Car Town's objective is no different from most Facebook games – that is, to create the most efficient space for items. In the context of the game, this means creating a car garage and collecting as much customized cars as possible.

The customization of cars are not solely reliant on appearance however, as the cars could be revved up for better performance which pays off by winning car races and delivering pizzas for extra coins. Players can also go on road trips with friends to earn points.
