Rappelz

Rappelz: An Epic Of The Ultimate Creature is a subscription free MMORPG that is supported by in game item purchases used with G's (Gpotato currency, swapped for real money). The only problem with this style of game is that it promotes the use of 'twinking' or buying items for characters to give them an advantage; luckily the only items currently available are not excessively advantageous. The game was developed by Korean company nFlavor and is now hosted and presented to various countries world-wide by Californian Gala-Net Inc., who also published and distributes the MMORPG Flyff and the MMOG Space Cowboy Online.

The game is set in a fantasy medieval world, comparable to that of the game [[Lineage II], in which three races exist in harmony: The Deva (guardians of light), the Asura (servants of the dark) and the Gaia(the protectors of nature).

History
The Open Beta version of Rappelz launched on October 2, 2006, with two separate servers available: "Tortus," the normal server, and "Pantera," the more PvP/PK-oriented server. Those who had previously downloaded the Closed Beta version of Rappelz are not required to re-download the Rappelz client to play in Open Beta; however, extensive automatic patching is done by the client before Closed Beta players can enter Open Beta. Closed Beta ended on September 26, 2006.

Closed-beta characters were deleted at the beginning of Open Beta; however, characters created during Open Beta survived the game's release.

Open Beta ended with the official release of the game on November 03, 2006.

There are currently four servers in service namely, "Tortus", "Yeti", "Lydian" and "Pantera(PVP)."
