Massive Battles to Take Place on Dedicated Nation War Serve Each Day

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.

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.

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.

El Segundo, Calif. - May 12, 2008 OGPlanet, an innovative provider of multiplayer online games, today announced the first-ever Invitational Tournament in Albatross18, its fantasy role-playing golf game.

This month, OGPlanet will begin accepting entries from Albatross18 guilds hoping to participate in the Invitational Tournament. Each guild must choose just one representative–the player they feel will have the best chance at bringing the guild top honors at the tournament.

Eighty-seven players will be selected to compete in the three-round tournament in June. Each of the three rounds will include 29 players and one referee. Once three players emerge victorious, they will face off against each other to determine the final Grand Champion.

The Grand Champion, as well as every member of his or her guild, will receive a Gold Event T-shirt designating them as the reigning Albatross18 champions, Event Face Paint, and a custom-designed Guild Phoenix featuring the guild’s logo. Second- and third-place finishers will receive Silver and Bronze T-shirts and Event Phoenixes. Every member of the 87 guilds involved with the competition will receive Joy Candies.

“We hope this summer’s Albatross18 Invitational Tournament will be the first of many successful tournaments,” said Don Choi, COO of OGPlanet. “We’re looking forward to finding out who the best Albatross18 golfer is!”

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.
