Ndoors Announces Mercenary Madness Contest Winner

Los Angeles – April 19, 2010 – Fans of Atlantica Online are making an impact on the game like never before. Ndoors Interactive selected a Grand Prize winner and five runner-ups from the Mercenary Madness competition last month, in which the community was invited to submit ideas for a new mercenary character to be added to the game later this year.

Symban’s submission is named Camilla: A Vampire Countess derived by the effects of the Oriharukon device in Bran Castle, she floats through the air, draining life from other players to sustain her existence. Camilla looks every bit the part of a Vampire Countess, with jet black hair contrasted against her snow-white skin and blood-stained lips. Players will be able to learn more about this mercenary as we near its release.
