Gamer: Hi! How are you? I am Gamer of MMORPG-Gamer.com, tell us about your role and what you do in Rappelz.
Tanda: I’m doing well. I’m excited about Rappelz! I am Tanda, the head Game Master for Rappelz. I do a lot of things including: planning and running in-game events, bug tracking and testing, solving customer service issues, answering emails, etc.
Gamer: What makes Rappelz stand apart from other MMO games out there in the market today?
Tanda: Rappelz has many features that will appeal to MMO players. The first feature is the pet system. Any player can have pets in Rappelz. There are many types of pets. Some pets do melee damage, some cast healing spells, some are tanks, etc. Pets level up with players and can learn skills. You can also equip your pets with equipment to boost their stats.
Another major feature that will appeal to MMO players is our dungeon system. Rappelz is the only free-to-play MMORPG that I know of that offers end game dungeons. Each weekend the dungeons open to dungeon sieges. The first guild that completes a dungeon siege owns the dungeon for a week. When your guild owns a dungeon it collects a percentage tax on all money and lak from the dungeon.
Rappelz also has mounts, even early in the game.
Gamer: What is the business model for rappelz rupees? Is it going to be Free-To-Play like other GPotato games like FlyFF?
Tanda: Rappelz, like all other GPotato games, will be free-to-play with a cash shop. Players who do not participate in the cash shop will be able to compete with the players who do.
