| 0 comments |

NDOORS Interactive today announced the release of a patch for their hit free-to-play MMORPG, Atlantica Online. The patch includes several feature updates which will enhance the user experience and improve gameplay. NDOORS is committed to maintaining and improving the world of Atlantica Online, as well as listening to feedback from players and incorporating their ideas and suggestions into each version update.


With the latest patch, Atlantica Online will now offer:

* Jackpot System: A new challenge system which allows players to select an item they have found in battle and gamble for a chance to obtain a large quantity of that item, with odds determined by the item’s value
* New Dungeon: The ‘Mysterious Inn’ has been added to the Central Asia region and is available to players level 120 or higher
* Improved Arena Betting: Now players can bet on arena battles remotely
* Chatting Emoticon Function has been added
* Ring Craft: Will now be called ‘Accessories Craft’ and will have the ability to craft rings and necklaces

In addition to the updates outlined above, the patch will adjust the balance of mercenaries in Free League and will have an effect on how a character’s basic stats influence their damage according to class type. Certain material items will no longer be used and some equipment boxes have been combined for convenience.

Atlantica Online is a strategic turn-based MMORPG that combines innovative combat with character/party development and city/country management. Players take on the quest to destroy the Oriharukon, a powerful energy source from the lost civilization of Atlantis that survived and is now endangering humanity. This journey will take players around the globe to locations like the Great Wall of China and the pyramids of Egypt where they will come face-to-face with monsters ripped from history and lore, such as the ruthless Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu and Dracula.

Currency $candal Rocks EVE Online

| 0 comments |

Eve Sci-fi MMORPG EVE Online's world full of player-run banks and corporations got one of its first tastes of virtual white-collar crime. The top executive of the player-run EVE financial institution Ebank, intended as an in-world business that would let other players safely deposit and borrow amounts of in-game virtual currency ISK, embezzled a substantial but unknown sum of ISK deposited by other players. The executive, who went by the online handle Ricdic, sold the embezzled virtual currency to a third-party grey market RMT service in exchange for real-world cash.


Before the embezzling scandal hit, Ebank was known to have approximately 8.9 trillion ISK in deposited in 13,000 accounts belonging to 6,000 other players. While Ricdic has since had his account terminated by EVE Online's developer CCP, a run on the bank by depositors resulted in the withdrawal of 5.5 trillion ISK. Ebank has since temporarily shut down to sort out the mess and try to figure out exactly how much of the remaining 4.9 trillion ISK was embezzled and how much was part of outstanding loans made by the bank. Rumors indicate Ricdic may have embezzled roughly 10% of the bank's total deposited funds, or about 890 billion ISK.

It is not clear what, if any, role CCP is going to take in returning embezzled funds or trying to keep Ebank solvent. Generally CCP follows extremely laissez faire policies when it comes to maintaining its virtual economy, in part to encourage various player-run corporations to battle it out with each other in space. Even though CCP is one of the few MMORPG developers to maintain an economist (and philosopher) on staff, the company often feels it is counter to the spirit of the game to intervene more than absolutely necessary. As a result, EVE's in-game player-run banks aren't backed by any sort of CCP-run equivalent of the FDIC and may be allowed to fail. As such, it is also unknown if Ebank will be able to return all funds to all investors or if CCP will even mandate that they do so.

It's worth noting here that EVE Online is a subscription game, charging the standard $15 per month fee. The game does not permit microtransaction purchases of ISK or other in-game items for real-world cash directly, although it does allow users to redeem the code codes from a prepaid EVE Online time cards for either more months of usage or certain amounts of ISK. While the EULA maintains the usual language of in-game items not having any definite real-world value, it seems likely that a certain sum of the ISK embezzled by Ricdic was probably purchased through prepaid cards rather than earned in-game.
