Upcoming Content Update Delivers Epic 100-on-100 Player Battles, Customizable Home Base and More

Los Angeles – June 3, 2010 – The Aegean Sea will run red with blood as the mythological Trojan War launches 1,000 ships in Atlantica Online, the strategic turn-based massively multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG) published by Ndoors Interactive. Later this summer, Atlantica Online’s newest update will unleash Troy, a nation that – with the help of a mysterious force – has become a peril to surrounding civilizations. The city’s defenses have proven impenetrable and even the mighty Sparta has been forced to its knees by the unyielding Trojans. Only by combining efforts will players be able to defeat these fearsome warriors. Challengers of Troy can sign up now for more information and get their first glimpse of the new map in an exciting gameplay trailer here.

Along with the introduction of Troy, the update will showcase Atlantica Online’s latest evolution in turn-based combat: The Tactical Battle System (TBS). The new TBS will allow players to take part in action-packed battles of epic proportions. Currently, fights consist of 15 players per side – each player controls one character and one mercenary to create exciting 30-on-30 skirmishes. With the full launch of the TBS players will join as squads or guilds to fight in colossal struggles of conquest with up to 100 characters per side. Strategy and teamwork will be more important than ever to destroy massive opposing armies.

“With the introduction of Troy we are continuing to build upon the strong foundation we’ve laid for our Atlantica Online player community,” said Peter Kang, CEO, Ndoors. “We are fully committed to providing fresh and exciting experiences to our fans as a way of thanking them for their loyalty and ongoing feedback. We look forward to the upcoming launch of Troy and are confident that current and future Atlantica Online players will enjoy the depth and intensity this new map will add to the game.”

Troy will also implement the Atlantica Online My Home System, which allows players to customize their “home base” with a variety of furniture, wallpaper and decorations, as well as providing a place to keep their mercenaries to train, help them craft new items and rest after strenuous battles.

Ndoors Interactive, a Leading Publisher of Online Games, Continues to Add Content with a New Mercenary

Los Angeles - March 23, 2010 - A new era of might and magic introduces mercenary Empress Himiko to Atlantica Online, Ndoors Interactive’s strategic, turn-based massively multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG).  In Atlantica Online, the empress Himiko controls powerful primal forces to complete missions. From cursing enemies with their own blood to preventing adversaries from using magic, the empress is a valuable cohort for a player’s ranks. Himiko is a Class B Mercenary who lends many helpful features to those who chose to recruit her, including:

Empress’ Blessing: This powerful spell shields allies from all magic cast by an opponent
Empress’ Curse: The counterpart to Himiko’s Blessing prevents enemies from using magic for a certain period of time
Empress’ Bow: A character using this bow will cause more damage to ranged-type mercenaries (those who use a bow, gun, cannon or instrument) in a player vs. player (PvP) battle

“Empress Himiko is a formidable recruit for any Atlantica Online player looking to dominate,” said Peter Kang, CEO, Ndoors Interactive.  “We are excited to introduce her to the community and wait with bated breath to see the havoc she will wreak on her enemies with her powerful magic.”

The Empress can be obtained by completing the Empress Recruitment quest, on which a player embarks after speaking with NPC Sumi, who is located inside the haunted Tatami Room.  Empress Recruitment items can also be gained through Merchant Mercurious in exchange for evil-slaying arrows.
