Upshift players can now trade cars, mods, and other items in-game
Santa Clara, CA – April 29, 2008- PLAYSPAN Inc. and Gala-Net Inc. announced the launch of beta service today for Upshift StrikeRacer, an online racing game.
“Having the PlaySpan service added to Upshift StrikeRacer provides our players with the ability to trade their in-game items in a safe and sanctioned manner,” states Jikhan Jung, CEO of Gala-Net. “We are very excited about providing peer to peer item sales in our games. And PlaySpan provides a proven, scalable and secured system that has been proven with multiple games.”

PlaySpan’s system integrates into the game inside a widget. As an official, publisher-sponsored service, the application is a secure and reliable way to buy and sell goods without leaving the game.

“We are extremely excited about launching with Upshift StrikeRacer. This shows the power of virtual commerce in the different environments; our system and services benefit hardcore MMOGs as well as more casual titles like Upshift,” says Karl Mehta, CEO of PlaySpan Inc. “Players of Upshift can now trade lower-ranked cars and items once they advance to more advanced parts of the game, and enjoy the game more with real-world microtransactions.”

Players can put all kinds of furniture in the tent and make it more comfy. Whether it’s a urinal or a bathtub, a washbowl or a vase all can be used to decorate the tent. More than that, players can take their tents with them anywhere they go. The last function is it can be used as a supermarket. Players can sell items in the village with the help of shelves and Coin-Op Games.

2. Remote Control: It is an AFK tool offered by WLO. A character can automatically attack monsters after players set options such as HP and SP replenishment and prepare enough food.

3. Vacuum Cleaner: It is one of the greatest inventions in the Wonderland. It can automatically collect materials. It can only be used in material spots however.

4. Fishing Rod: There are common, superior and luxurious fishing rods in Wonderland. All fishing rods can automatically fish. However, players may obtain different fish depending on the fishing rods used and their skill level.

5. Notepad: It can be used to record everything that has happened in a player’s game, including finished and unfinished quests, quest details and dialogue. The most important feature is that it can automatically record trivia. Player’s can press [CTRL + M] to check their details anywhere at any moment.

6. Radio Set: When a character is level 10 or above, players can yell on the world channel with the help of a Radio Set by consuming SP.

7. Title Deed: It can be used to increase tent space. There is no time limit and it is unable to be traded.

8. Roca: She is one of the most helpful NPCs. She has a high attack ability, good skills and excellent defensive skills. However, she may kill the pet players want to capture. Even if players ask her to stay on defense, her powerful counterattack may kill the pet.

9. Cat and Dog: They are only friendly envoys who can help players express items.

10. Star: It can be used to learn skills during the trials, can be exchanged for subway keys, or for Title Deeds to increase tent space, for bouquets to increase the pets’ amity or to cure human pets which die during quests.

With more than 2 weeks’ character progression in Magic World Online Closed Beta II, more and more players have become fully capable of serving their respective countries. At 19:00 PST on Wednesday, April 23, a large Siege War was launched between the two opposing countries, Dynasty and Empire. The goal, was to enter an instance of the Royal City of the other country, defeat all mobs, and take over the city. Both sides were successful to get rid of the strong defense of the other side’s Royal City. However, Dynasty players were able to take over Sun City more efficiently than Empire players were able to take over Sky City, thus winning the Siege War and better prizes. Perhaps due to more extensive war experience from previous guild wars, Dynasty players seemed more confident than Empire players during the Siege War. They saw the first Siege War as some kind of warm-up exercise for their upcoming battles against their opponents. Although Empire players lost the first Siege War, they fought their very best without fear and promised to come back in full force in the next War.

At the beginning of Siege War, a huge army from Dynasty began their invasion to Sun City. Most of them were over Lv40 and came from very high-level guilds. At first they seemed to have neglected to examine the defense of Sky City carefully, which included two resisting fences, various NPC guards and one final Guard Dragon. They got stuck at the defense line and part of the army could not join the battle. After regrouping their available man power, they assigned one team to distract the attention of ranged guards, a second team to cope with the annoying inner fence which can regenerate very fast, and a third team to back up those were low in HP. It was not until they were faced with the overpowering Guard Dragon that they realized they had been weakened so much by the NPC guards could not defeat the Guard Dragon with their remaining soldiers. They waited somewhere away from the Guard Dragon for their dead soldiers to revive and return, and the reinforcement finally came and allowed them to finally take down the Guard Dragon and claim victory

Maybe it is always justified for a war to be impersonal. Someone in Empire had been continuously using the National Flare to call for help at the battlefront. However, many of the soldiers were either too inferior in level/gear or simply had something more important to do so they did not bother to show up. Anyway, Empire army was outnumbered, and they could not catch up with the Honor Value of Dynasty which was far ahead of that of Empire. But there was one eye-catching hero among them. He rided on a rare mount and helped take in most of the critical spell damages from the Guard Dragon. This gave the originally hopeless Empire army an opportunity to win. After longtime joint efforts from everyone, they finally defeated the Guard Dragon. Being grateful to the MVP, they seemed to enjoy the victory and prizes more than Dynasty players.

The first Siege War will for sure trigger a more large-scale State Wars between the two countries. He who laughs best laughs last.
