The Gala Group, a leading publisher of free-to-play MMO games and operator of the gPotato portals across the world, has announced that it now has over 20 million registered users worldwide. Gala Networks Europe , the EU subsidiary of Gala Networks, has also shown remarkable growth throughout 2011, contributing significantly to the Gala group's total.
Nicolas Pajot, COO, Gala Networks Europe comments: "Passing 20 million users is a fantastic milestone for the Gala Group and we’re hugely proud to have contributed to building a loyal user base for free-to-play titles, that continues to grow year-on-year.” He continues, “We’re also proud that our choice of free-to-play MMO titles has found a substantial audience in Europe – with games like Allods Online, Dragonica and Terra Militaris all contributing to our success, we’re equally proud to be running the best range of Christmas events that we have ever had. We look forward to even more growth as we gear up to betas for Age of Wulin and Sevencore in 2012."
Coinciding with the run-up to Christmas, Gala Networks Europe is celebrating reaching this milestone with a series of extra-special in-game events for every title running on its gPotato.eu portal.
Allods Online will feature a special scripted Christmas event, which runs until January 6th. Special coins will be available that players can convert into vanity outfits, skins for their mounts, fireworks and much more. In addition, in-game cities can be decorated with snowmen, Christmas trees, candy canes and all manner of other festive items. On the community side, Allods Online will also host "The Yaskers" until February 6th, where community members are invited to re-create scenes from their favourite movies within Allods Online and submit videos of their re-creations to be judged in several categories. These range from best director and best editing or cinematography to best movie, best effects and so on. Big prizes, both in-game and real-world, will be on offer for the winners as Allods Online pushes towards its big Volume 5 update in early 2012. The Yaskers winners will be announced on February 25th.
Canaan Online will be hosting its own Christmas events. Including the arrival of Santa, who will appear from December 21st to January 4th. Players will be able to collect presents and candy canes from locations around the game world and trade them in with Santa to claim unique festive rewards such as costumes, pets and mounts.
