Ragnarok Online : New Virtual Purchase Delivery System

Posted Feb 05, 2009 by Keith Cross

PlaySpan has announced that they have implemented a system in Ragnarok Online which allows for automated in-game delivery of goods.

PlaySpan Marketplace announced today that it has teamed up with Gravity Interactive and its immensely popular game Ragnarok to provide automated in-game delivery of virtual items bought at the PlaySpan Marketplace. Players purchase exclusive virtual items, such as the Weekend Hunting Pack, at the PlaySpan Marketplace and then visit a special Ragnarok character to take delivery of them. The new service enhances the player experience while ensuring speedy and secure delivery.

“Ragnarok players can enjoy both unique packages and the easy, secure convenience of in-game delivery through the PlaySpan Marketplace”, said Jason Koerperich Community Manager of Gravity Interactive, Inc.
In addition to Gravity Interactive’s Ragnarok and Rose Online, Gamers can also buy virtual items for 25 other popular titles. PlaySpan Marketplace customers can purchase virtual items, subscriptions, time codes, starter packs, and virtual currencies in a secure publisher authorized environment.

“For the first time, online gamers have a quick and simple way to buy virtual currency and in-game items without having to use the risky and unreliable grey market,” said Karl Mehta, CEO of PlaySpan, which provides the only comprehensive monetization solution to the online games industry. “With these additions to the Marketplace catalog, we can serve an estimated 100 million-plus players.”

PlaySpan Marketplace enables gamers to use several convenient payment methods including credit cards, Ultimate Points™, PayPal, PayByCash, and the Ultimate Game Card. For those customers who don’t have access to cash or a credit card, they can earn Ultimate Points to make free purchases by completing surveys or advertising offers. In addition, Customers receive 100 free Ultimate Points™ for creating an account.

“We’ve made it super easy for customers who lack traditional payment options such as credit cards or PayPal to use alternate payment methods to play premium games,” said Mehta. “And the process is completely safe and convenient.”
