I don't know how much this effects me yet. . .
If they ever make it mandatory character transfer please o:

As I recall a GM said once that if a La Tale Europe came out and they were required to IP block they'd probably do something to allow existing accounts to continue to play OGP's version, but would block new signups. I don't remember what thread it was in, and there's no guarantee that's completely accurate, but hopefully they'll at least do that if they're required to start blocking Europe. (Apparently the blocks on Korea, Japan and Korea are required by their contract with La Tale's developer.)

O: So it finally comes out. I still remember at the beginning of LT some of my guildies were saying that if ever an european version came out, they would go there, but now they've quit DX

Chesters · 07-03-2009

Hmmm... we'll have to see how the publishers compare. It'll be a real bother for the Wiki if they have different quest rewards, etc. and all. ._.

According to one of Aeria's Product Managers, they aren't going to be IP blocking anyone. So if Aeria isn't, I don't see why OGP would have to.

I really want to see how Aeria handles LT. Mostly in regards to lag, the Item Mall/Cash Shop, and xp/drop rates.

Shugi · 07-03-2009

The main problem I'm having with this is... the player base. We're tiny already. Why bother even splitting us. That'll just kill the game more. >.<

I'm sure that they'll be fairly similar though, unless aeria games is going to pull a cheap one or something.

Xaveroth · 07-03-2009

I think Aeria getting LT is a good thing, since they'll probably do a lot more advertising than OGP does, and they'll have a lot more events.

Also, Aeria has a larger total community than OGP does(they have a ton of games going, and almost all of them are very popular). If anything, I think Latale's population will grow after Aeria gets it going.

Shugi · 07-03-2009

It definitely grow. That's for sure. I just hope it's not the wrong people who join the CBT then come over to OGP. =X I'm really enjoying the current community, besides the inflation.

Emoshi · 07-03-2009

Well, I'm super excited to participate in my first CB .3. and for a game I already play 8D Also, I hope Aeria has better gms/stuff released faster/etc etc.

+less inflation

Educate me. How is the player base small?

I'm not asking as aggression, this is the first MMO I've ever played. I'm out of practice/experience. I'm just latalin my balls off because my balls are bored.

But as far as I can tell, if OGP is actually holding down a player base as large as it is, it's profitable. Help me out.

Xaveroth · 07-03-2009

Sure, Latale may seem to be decently populated, but it only has 1 server, with 7 channels. That doesn't really hold a lot of people. Now compare with Aeria's bigger games, like Last Chaos, Shaiya, and Twelve Sky. There's a huge difference in population(All 3 of those have been out a lot longer than LT has, but still). Aeria has a lot of games, and almost all are popular. So I don't think they'll do any worse than OGP has.

@Emoshi - Aeria's GMs are a lot more active with the community than OGP's. Just go over to their forums, and look at the Last Chaos and Twelve Sky 2 forums. GMs will respond to people's posts, and they're in the shoutbox a lot, usually during maintenance letting everyone know how long they have or whatever. I don't know anything about release schedules for content though. Don't they have to follow what the Korean devs tell them to do? I'm sure they'll start out(maybe not in CB, but once Commercial Release starts) with more content than OGP did. As long as they follow OGP's pacing(not counting stuff like Staunton, crafting, pvp, or the Vongole Train, that should've been released a lot sooner than they were/will be), it'll be fine I think. OGP seemed to release most of the right content fairly quickly.

Look at the free market. The way it was designed and how full it is. I'm sure you'll understand.

Since it's Aeriagames, closed beta isn't closed beta, it's open beta 1~
Trust me, EVERY closed beta they've had, they let EVERYONE in.
DOMO, Wolfteam, SMT:Imagine..

Speaking of DOMO, does/did anyone here play it? >.>

I used to, lols. They gave away free Aeria Points in events...

Amanda · 07-03-2009

I used to play it, in CBT and OBT.
Played it a bit in official, but got bored. Since the job I liked wasn't out and supposedly being nerfed :<

That doesn't mean anything, it could be different contracts. Aeria may have paid more to not have to IP block. OGP only seems to IP block what they're required to in their games.
