OGPlanet announces that
CABAL Online
is live in North America:
El Segundo, Calif.- Feb. 29, 2008- OGPlanet, an
innovative provider of multiplayer online games, today announced the North
American commercial launch of CABAL ONLINE, a full-service massively multiplayer
online game that already boasts nearly 1 million players in more than 12
countries throughout Asia and Europe.
"The launch of CABAL ONLINE is a huge event for us," said David Hoffman,
Executive Producer for OGPlanet. "The beta testing periods were met with a very
positive reception, and we're anxious to watch CABAL's popularity in North
America grow. We're thrilled to be able to provide an MMO of this caliber under
a free-to-play model."
Although CABAL was developed with a subscription-based model in mind, OGPlanet
is offering the game under a free-to-play system, consistent with the company's
model. An option to purchase in-game items does exist, but the purchasable items
will not be integral to the gameplay experience. "It is important to us to find
a balance ensuring our players the full experience of CABAL Online without
paying a penny," said Hoffman. "The items purchasable by Astros, our
OGPlanet-wide in-game currency, will give players ways to make it from 'Point A'
to 'Point B' more quickly, but won't give them any sort of permanent advantage
over players who might not have the budget to utilize the Cash Shop. We're very
pleased with the result: a free-to-play MMORPG with everything you would expect
from a subscription-based game."
