El Segundo, Calif.- Nov 20, 2008 - Two months after its worldwide launch, OGPlanet's massively multiplayer side-scroller La Tale is opening yet another chapter of its fantastic world.

Players can explore new areas and brave new challenges. Ves, the newest city, offers beautiful scenery inspired by Indian culture and architecture. Orca Beach and the Jungle are as lush as they are dangerous. Plus, for the truly brave, the Ruin of Ktuka offers great treasures and secrets to those who can survive its challenges.

"The diverse new zones being added to La Tale give players even more to do and see," said Ross Park, La Tale producer. "Each individual area has its own unique look and feel, and players will find themselves completely immersed in their new surroundings."
Also coming to the world of La Tale in this new update is the LaDeck system. For just 9 Astros (OGPlanet's cross-game currency), players can buy Gold Darts of Luck and use it to mark a square on a 20 x 20 LaDeck grid. Behind each square is a prize that ranges from potions to exclusive, ultra-rare items, but players will have to be quick and lucky to be the first to select the 1st Prize square!

At the "World Domination" keynote on the final day of EVE Online Fanfest 2008 in Reykjavik, Iceland, Senior Producer Torfi Frans Olafsson unveiled the upcoming "Summer 2009 Expansion" for the sci-fi MMO, calling it the "biggest expansion in EVE to date." They'd taken more than 300 CCP staff from other projects, and there were more programmers, artists, and the like working on the expansion than ever before, he announced.

New Player Experience

Acknowledging that EVE had a "mildly steep learning cliff" (which drew chuckles from the crowd) that was a barrier for potential new players, Olafsson said that one of the primary objectives with the new unnamed expansion was to streamline the introduction. They'd focus more on learning by doing and progressive character creation, giving players more of a hands-on approach instead of walls of text.

There would also be changes made to the game's UI, continued Olafsson. It wouldn't be a completely different UI overnight, but the team they had working on it would be focused on strengthening the UI and making it more of a productivity tool, rather than a hindrance (especially for newcomers).
