Original player-driven online RPG re-hosted as game enters exciting beta stages

London – 23rd August 2007 – As part of its commitment to groundbreaking, independently developed massively multiplayer games, Jolt Online Gaming, Europe’s largest independent online gaming network, is pleased to announce a partnership with Eyes Out Entertainment that will help see the innovative MMO Tatsumaki: Land at War enter its next stage of development.

Shunning genre conventions such as races, classes, experience points and even monsters, Tatsumaki offers players a unique role-playing experience, where real-time PvP combat, detailed crafts and even idle pursuits take place against a backdrop of player-built towns set in feudal Japan. Striving for the perfect balance between realism and action, and featuring a novel system of family ties, the game allows players to be as notorious or as anonymous as they please. Furthermore the game will offer players an innovative and highly competitive pricing structure, including a limited free-to-play option.

Following an intensive testing and development period, Tasumaki has entered early beta stages, with the first of many towns along with several visual enhancements now in development. Jolt’s involvement sees the game hosted on its cutting-edge servers located at a state-of-the-art data centre facility, and with an overhauled website to keep the game’s growing community informed and up-to-date.

As part of the development team’s ongoing efforts to broaden and diversify its capability to provide the best gaming experience possible, openings have been made available for talented and passionate programmers, modellers, artists, animators and musicians.

“We’re very excited to be working with Eyes Out Entertainment on a game that we’ve come to be as passionate about as they are,” said Jolt’s CEO, Dominic Silk. “With our world-class server technology and years of experience in the MMO community, we hope to see Tatsumaki go from strength to strength over the coming years.”

“Jolt’s proven track record and commitment to independently developed online games makes them the ideal partner to help bring our first MMO to a wider online audience,” said EOE’s founder Jonathan Rush. “Our relationship so far has been great and we look forward to working with them in the future.”

IGG has announced a new PK system of Zu Online (http://zu.igg.com ) recently, let’s take a quick look.

PK is short for Player Kill which is usually used to name the fight between players. The player whose level is below 31 is protected from being killed; also he cannot PK others and cannot be PKed by others. Players can PK in all areas except the safe areas (such as all main cities, and all transfer points of scenes). No matter what their level, if there is a discrepancy of more than 90 between 2 players’ levels they may not attack each other. When your level is above 30, please pay attention to your PK Mode. There are Whole, Peace, Group, Guild and Camp Modes. After adjusting PK Mode, left click the target player and use the Spell to attack or restore.

In Zu Mountain training world, although there is no written commandment to standardize the behaviour of all trainers, when trainer violates the Good and wilfully injures the members of his own guild, he will bear Dishonor Points. However, in the disaster happening every sixty years, the only trainers who have satisfactory and enough merits and virtues and have no evil can challenge calamity and then be promoted to the rank of immortal. Of course, trainers themselves can’t see their own Dishonor Points. They can only know whether they have born the Dishonor Points from the color of their name. Such as White Name, Blue Name, Grey Name and Red Name. The player who is Pked by others first will not be punished when the opponents are killed no matter what colour of the name is. Dishonor Points will be gradually eliminated along with the online time. The Reputation Points that is gained by completing tasks can also dispel the Dishonor Points.
