The last thing I expected to see at AGC was Flyff. Yet, there I was, sitting in their booth learning about a Korean-import game due to his beta this week. Here is what I learned:
;) Flyff caries tagline “fly for fun”, which may well also be the genesis of its name. As would be expected from such an MMORPG, it has a simple defining feature: flying. The point-and-click title was first released in Korea and has since expanded to Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines and Japan. On Thursday, November 3rd it crosses the ocean as beta begins in the United States.
While the game carried a very distinct anime style, as demonstrated by screenshots, we were unfortunately unable to get a direct look due to a flaky internet connection in the convention center. In North America, Flyff will be hosted on the new website gPotato.com, due to officially launch on November 31st; although you can reach it now. This website intends to offer Flyff without a subscription fee. Instead, they plan to employ a micro-payment model where players buy things in the game with real money. |
