SEOUL, Korea (AVING) -- The last ticket holder for GNGWC 2008 that will be held in Ilsan Kintex, Korea, on coming November 16, has been decided.

The winners for the last ticket to GNGWC 2008 have been selected in Quest Hall, Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan, that happened on 25th.

GNGWC 2008 is taking place for the third time. It is a global game competition having only Korean online games. Japan's regional round had three games total for the competition: SD Enternet's 'Navy Field', Onnet's 'Shot Online' and Ndoors' 'Atlantica.'

The regional round began with Director Joo Gi hwan's speech, who is from KIPA's Contents department. His speech is followed by a circus team, Crew JKT. Its performance indeed heated up the atmosphere.

SDEnternet's Navy Field had the greatest number of participants (each team had 20 players.) Each round was played by 20 players versus another 20 players. Their play showed how good strategies Japanese players have in general. For the final match, 4 teams were competing with each other. It was interesting to see that 2 teams (OS-V1, OS-V2) from the same Guild made to the final match. OS-V2 team had members who had won the final round last year. However they were beaten by OS-V1 team. OS-V2 thus lost its Japan championship but made to the global finals.

Ndoor's Atlantica had a lot of seesaw games throughout the whole tournament. The fact that Atlantica had so many great players reflected its potential in the future. 'Bahn' won a losing game from 2:1 to 3:2. The audience gave applause to Bahn's bold strategy which made them possible to win. 'Bahn' won the Japan championship and '102' made the second. They both were from the same Guild, having the same luck, making it to the global finals.

Onnet's 'Shot Online' had 2,000 players participated. After a series of close matches, 6 participants were selected to strive for the 3 tickets to the global finals. 'Huranjisuko' who played Shot Online for past 3 years won the championship by beating 'Aimochi' with a big gap. He went out of bounds at the second last hole, but fortunately the opponent made the same mistake.

One of the officers from KIPA who were at the scene has said, "Now we have finalized all the players for the global finals. We will do our best to make this GNGWC 2008 final's a global festival to all gamers over the world."

All participants for GNGWC 2008 global finals have been selected. Participants from 6 different continents will strive for the global championship on November 16 at Ilsan Kintex, Korea, while the Korea's biggest game show, "GStar 2008," takes place.

Turn-based Strategic MMORPG, ‘Atlantica’ is about to be revealed in July

2008-07-25T08:45:00.000-07:00

NDOORS Corporation plans to gather users’ feedback and test stability in July with respect to its piece of work, ‘Atlantica’ which is a MMORPG game that will give worldwide services.

“MMORPG Atlantica was created by Producer Kim, Taegon who wanted a change from the original MMORPG.”

Producer Kim, Taegon who has 15 years of game producing experience have produced ‘Atlantica’ to grow out of original MMORPG. That is why Atlantica has a very unique style: Turn-base method and business management like strategy. We aimed to attract 20 plus male adults and let users to be more accessible to the game. That brought us to a conclusion that hunting games have many limits.

“Turn-base method is the basis of Atlantica’s battle strategy.”

Turn-base method is the basis of Atlantica’s battles. A user takes charge of a troop that is composed of a hero and a number of soldiers to fight with monsters. A user can have 8 soldiers maximum and have to decide how to assault in 30 seconds. It is interesting to see that outcome of a battle is often determined by stationing 9 characters including the hero in a 3x3 box.

As to stationing different kinds of soldiers at the front and back, users should take the attribution of a monster into account. A monster that likes to attack within a short distance usually attacks the soldiers at front line. In that case, users should place the strongest soldiers at the front.

There are many kinds of mercenary corresponding to that fact that they play an important role in the game. They mature along 3 steps: A feeder that brings animals and soldiers who carry weapons back, an inventor who collects machines and weapons, and lastly a princess who invalidates adversary’s magic.

Producer Kim, Taegon explained why they introduced the turn-base method, “The most important elements of a game would be repetitive battles and strategic battle. MMORPG these days are played by speedy actions. It is very crucial that who plays with more complicated mind and which strategy is used. We decided to use turn-base method because we wanted to improve the speed and control. We thought one-on-one fights would be not good.”

“Special feature of online PC games would be PVP and community.”

Atlantica is MMORPG which not only has a typical monster hunt but also has PVP(3 teams on each side) that enables players to talk to other players. It also has online game features such as a party hunting and PK that are different from SRPG’s console games. One of the strong points of online games is that they have communities. Atlantica has a political system that runs a nation. A nation is built by guild confederate. PK can be applied among nations that have declared a war against each other. People can even raise children which is pretty realistic.

Turn-base method is familiar to most users but they are found in console games and are not common in general online PC games. Users in North America and Europe who are very much used to console games can enjoy Atlantica’s PVP and communities because features are not many.

In the meantime, Atlantica will be updated on July 10 in Korea that is called ‘Atlantica 2.0.’ In Atlantica 2.0 will announce to the public regarding the New World, North America and main scenario through gamengame.com

Barcelona's Argentine striker Lionel Messi(R) said Thursday he hopes Ronaldinho(L), who is being courted by AC Milan, will remain at the club next year.

Barcelona's Argentine striker Lionel Messi said Thursday he hopes Ronaldinho, who is being courted by AC Milan, will remain at the club next year.

"At Barca, we want everyone to remain at the club. If he goes, I will be sad," he said.

"He has helped me a lot to integrate into the team. Any team would like to have him. I still hope that he will stay."

AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani said on Sunday that the reigning European champions have come to an agreement with Ronaldinho over a possible summer transfer.

Former twice world player of the year Ronaldinho has fallen out with Barcelona this season as a dip in form and frequent off-field indiscretions have seen the love affair between club and player come to a bitter end after five years.

He is currently sidelined with a leg injury that could keep him out of Barcelona's run-in, where they are chasing La Liga and Champions League glory.

Messi had been sidelined since tearing a muscle in his left leg on March 5 but returned to action on Saturday in a 2-2 draw with Recreativo Huelva, coming on as substitute on 64 minutes.

The Argentine said he hoped to spend longer on the pitch on Saturday against Espanyol, in order to be fit to face Manchester United in the Champions League semi-final next Wednesday.

Parry's reign at Liverpool 'a disaster' claims Hicks

2008-04-17T13:01:00.000-07:00

Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks stepped up his attack on Rick Parry on Thursday, the Texan tycoon branding the chief executive's reign at Anfield as "a disaster."

Hicks also took a fresh swipe at George Gillett, warning his co-owner that the stalemate over the club's future will continue until he agrees to sell his stake.

But in a statement issued later Thursday, Gillett, a supporter of Parry, said: "Tom needs to understand that I will not sell my shares to him and that we need to find a way forward that is properly funded and truly in the best interests of Liverpool Football Club."

As Americans Gillett and Hicks each own 50 percent of the club, the present stand-off looks like continuing for sometime yet.

"I am saddened at this latest outburst from Tom Hicks," Gillett said. "If Tom wanted a serious discussion on the issues to help the club move forward, he should bring his views to the board and not to Sky Sports.

"Here we are, a few days away from a vital Champions League semi-final match and Tom has once again created turmoil with his public comments.

"Tom should stop. He knows that Rick Parry has my support and that airing his comments in this way will not change my position."

Hicks, who has insisted he was not behind the approach to Jurgen Klinsmann that unsettled Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez, revealed he had plans to rid the club of all debt by heading up a group of financial backers willing to invest in the club.

Hicks blamed Parry for Liverpool's failure to compete commercially with their Premier League rivals.

"Look at what's happened under Rick's leadership. It has been a disaster," claimed Hicks.

"We have fallen so far behind the other leading clubs. We should have the stadium built three or four years ago. We have two or three major sponsors when we should have 12 or 15.

"We are not doing anything in Asia, the way that Manchester United and Barcelona are, and we have a tremendous number of fans in Asia.

Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks stepped up his attack on Rick Parry, seen here in 2007,, the Texan tycoon branding the chief executive's reign at Anfield as "a disaster."

"Rick needs to resign from Liverpool FC. He has put his heart into it but it is time for a change. You have to be able to work with the manager and Rick has proved he can't do that.

"At the first meeting we had with Rafa he talked of the number of players he had missed out on because he (Parry) was too slow."

But Parry, in an interview with BBC Radio Four, insisted he had no plans to leave Anfield. "It's for the board to ask me to resign - and they haven't."

Hicks and Gillett took over the club in February 2007 but Hicks admitted their relationship has now completely broken down.

"At this point it is unworkable," he stated.

"We started this as friends but 50-50 is a difficult business proposition because you cannot do anything without your partner's approval."

The stand-off between the two Americans has led Dubai Investment Capital, agroup bankrolled by the ruling royal family of the United Arab Emirates to put on hold its interest in buying a stake in the club.

On the infamous meeting in New York last year about Klinsmann becoming manager Hicks added: "George became good friends with him (Klinsmann) a year ago.

"He and Rick set up the meeting in New York. I did go to the meeting along with my son Tom.

"Rick Parry had already met with Jurgen alone for a couple of hours when we arrived. We all then spoke to him for another four hours."

Thoughts

SweetS is a cute band. All of the girls are so young, that its kinda ridiculous. If you listen to them, their vocals are just as good as Morning Musume and other idol pop groups. They also have some cute, catchy songs too. I think as they get more experienced, they will get even better.
