Magic Ages is now seeking players for the closed beta testing. Anyone with experience in MMORPGs is welcome to participate.

MMOsite.com: This being the first time that we have had the opportunity to sit down together, what can you tell us about your game? What s the premise?


Magic Ages is an immersive 2.5D Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG). As a player can join the forces of one of the two kingdoms, and be given the opportunity to define your character, selecting one out of four professions: warrior, archer, mage or summoner. Rich items, weapons and mounts, fabulous Graphics and gorgeous skills.

Among other features, Magic Ages gives you the possibility to upgrade your skills and professions, join one of many guilds or even create your own. Besides the individual battles, you ll have the chance to wage war against other guilds as well as the opposite kingdom. Magic Ages also carries the innovative distinction of applying video and audio chat system in the game environment, amplifying the interactive and community experience.

MMOsite.com: What is the significance of the name "Magic Ages"?

Magic Ages is a virtual world in which people roleplay characters in a free form fantasy based storyline. It is a fantasy game with the combinations of the compelling story of bravery, tribulation, love, loyalty, friendship and betrayal. That s also where the name "Magic Ages" comes from.

MMOsite.com: You are obviously looking to make Magic Ages into a unique MMO experience. What, other than your game s look, sets it apart from all of the other fantasy MMOs on the market?

Revolutionary Video-enable Chatting System:

By simply clicking the player you want to chat, you are able to select the video-enable chatting system. You need to set up your webcam if it s the first time you are talking to another player. The procedure of the setup is very simple, just following the instructions. Once you have done so, the system will keep your setting automatically.

Also in the new Magic Age, because different countries are using different languages, your enemies are not able to see your chat records. But they can see your face and motion expressions. In order for players to better communicate, we have created various kinds of chat systems, including group, guild, trading, public talking, private chat and etc. Players can change their chatting channels based on their preferences. Not to mention they can add their own personal "signature" motion expressions.

There are many unique and quite interesting strategic designs in Magic Ages, such as large scale country battles, beachhead battle system, city battlements, sub-city battlements, growing weapon systems, instance system, item system, guild system, housing system, wedding system, mount system, official title system, and etc.
 
MMOsite.com: What are you doing to appeal to those players who are new to the MMORPG genre?

Magic Ages s fabulous graphics and graceful rhythm will have the new players fall in love with it right away. Its growing weapon system and magnificent mounts are definitely attractive as well.

Intuitive and user friendly, plus large video-enable chatting room, Magic Ages removes entry barriers for first-time gamers and late-starters.

MMOsite.com: It seems that the game is aimed more at group audience because of the Copy system, so how does it work and how many copies will be available in the game?

Instances are the game scenes where gamers can self-organize affairs and events without being impacted by outsiders. Working as the team members, players can take the benefits of variety of professions and group together to better beat their enemies.

Currently there are several dozens of instances in Magic Ages and we are planning to add more.

MMOsite.com: It seems the game is trying something different in communication. Video chat system is creatively added into the new "Magic Ages". Can you tell us something about this? Will it influence the game speed?

The video-enable chatting system absolutely won t delay the speed of the game.
