What Is A3: Still Alive?

A3: STILL ALIVE is a cross-genre mobile experience that pairs the enormous and living worlds of Open-World RPGs with the extreme combat of Battle Royale. Set in an apocalyptic fantasy world of swords and sorcery, players must be vigilant in an always-open Player vs. Player (PvP) environment as they fight against enemies with intense hack & slash combat in the search for powerful gear.

Players can prove their mettle with a variety of PvP and Player vs. Everyone (PvE) engagements including, Conquest, Raid, Dark Presence and World Boss content. To complement the extreme combat, A3: STILL ALIVE is beautifully rendered with console-quality 3D graphics that are brought to life thanks to the outstanding optimization of the Unity Engine.

“A3: STILL ALIVE continues the tradition of Netmarble releasing high-quality and vibrant mobile MMORPGs filled with stunning graphics and core gameplay that sets the trend for future mobile games,” said Joong Sun Chang, Executive Producer of Netmarble. “Working on a game with darker and grim subject matter and the team’s expertise in creating extremely fun MMORPG gameplay, was definitely an amazing experience.”

At launch, players can look forward to the following:

• Five Powerful Class Types, ranging from Berserkers (Physical Melee DPS), Templars (Magical / Physical Tank), and Wizards (Magical Ranged DPS) to Assassins (Physical DPS) and Archers (Ranged DPS).
• A Seamless Blend of Battle Royale Mechanics and Open-World Exploration, allowing players to grow their Hero through active Battle Royale matches while auto-batting in the field, with a variety of high-level equipment to collect across both modes.
• Over 201 Soul Linkers, unique characters that offer various benefits and are capable of actively accompanying the player to battle, to collect, train, and counter enemy and boss tactics.
• In addition to an always-open PvP environment, players can compete in Dark Presence, a field-based 100 vs. 100 large scale battle that takes place across all servers, where an endless range of strategies and cooperation between factions are needed for players to rise to be the strongest warrior of them all.

The post A3: Still Alive Is A New MMO You Need To Know About! appeared first on Mmos World.

South Korea’s giant, Netmarble, have raised in an initial public offering 2.35 billion dollars! This is South Korea’s largest IPO since 2010. The CEO claims that they will use the money to pay off debts, invest in R&D and continue to explore other purchases and investments. Recently they have bought a big part of Kabam in a deal that was estimated at 700 million dollars. Maybe you haven’t heard about Netmarble. but you must have heard about their games: Lineage, Marvel: Future Fight, Dragonball Online and many more. They have generated over $1.3B with more than $150M of net profit. This is amazing

Since Netmarble have many mobile titles they remain relevant while other game publishers such as Gameforge, Goodgame studios and Aeria games have lots of financial problems. App Annie have ranked Netmarble as the 9th largest app publisher in the world. Since this is the biggest IPO from 2010, I want to emphasize how much the game industry got bigger. If you look at the NASDAQ reports, the 5 biggest gaming companies have increased their revenue by 300% in the last 5 years. I don’t think that any other industry had such an increase. If I look at Gas, Mechanics and Finance, none of those huge industry grew so much.

Therefore, I think that people should lose the stereotypes against gaming, the industry is booming. Gaming has become a serious part of our culture. More money is invested in games as less money goes to movies. For entertainment purposes, gaming takes more place than ever in our daily life and it will probably keep on growing. The Netmarble raise is an indication for bigger things to come. I’m looking forward to see which gaming companies are going to break the records once again.

What do you think? Will Netmarble use their money wisely?
