| Spirit Tales features first community Q&A Posted: 08 Mar 2012 03:04 PM PST Spirit Tales is preparing to launch its closed beta phase, and as part of the prep, they have released their first Community Q&A with Elliott, KoramGame’s US Community Manager. Find out what was asked and answered below! You can also check out our Spirit Tales press preview and beta giveaway.
Q: So can you tell us about your position at Koramgame.com? A: Of course! I'm Elliott, the Community Manager for KoramGame's US office. Basically I'm in charge of all communications with players in all sorts of avenues. Players can contact me via forums, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to discuss KoramGame and our newest client based MMORPG, Spirit Tales! I also organize and run all of the events and contests, whether it is in game, on the forums, or on our social network sites. Q: Could you tell us more about Spirit Tales and the game play? A: Spirit Tales is a cute, 3D, fast paced fantasy MMORPG that focuses primarily on the uniqueness of the individual player. How big of a focus? Well, there are over 40 million different customization options, and last time I checked, that was a lot! We also have a vibrant world filled with amazing creatures and a unique horizon view that puts everything perfectly together. There is also Spirit Form, a gameplay feature that will be available during Closed Beta that lets you channel special attacks and unlock rare loot items that are only available during Spirit Form. There are also additional features, like PvP Battle Zones, Duel Tournaments, Pet Capturing/Morphing System, Massive Unlockable Achievements and Title Systems, and so many others that I could talk about all day. The funny thing is that this is just the start! We have so many other special features that you'll just have to play the game and find out for yourself. Q: There's been talk that Spirit Tales and Glory Destiny are actually the same game. What’s the difference between Spirit Tales and Glory Destiny? A: With Spirit Tales, North American and European players will have access to a closer server location, which means improved latency, less lag, and more responsive gameplay. We’ve refined the UI to make gameplay more polished, as well as more tailored to a North American audience. We’ve also removed some major UI functionality to make the game both more enjoyable and less exploitable. Although the core game remains the same, we'll have a different update cycle that depending on the user base, we could take the game in different directions. We will also have an expanded customer service department, more events and active GMs, as well as more integration with social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. Q: Which part of the game do you think the community will love the most? A: There are so many things to love! My personal favorite is the emote system. Adorable dances, cute facial expressions, fashionable poses, you name it. I often find myself staring at the screen, cheeks BURNING because I can't stop smiling at how cute these emotes are… and that's with work to do too! I think our most popular widespread appealing feature will be the Instance Queue system. We have so many dungeon instances that we have an automatic queue system in place that lets players find parties without having to hope for a random invite. Just choose your role, the instance, and BOOM, you're in a party and ready to go! Q: What can the players expect in the Closed Beta? A: In Closed Beta, we'll be opening all content up to level 40 to our users, absolutely free! This includes 5 instances, hundreds of quests, a bazillion pets, PvP Battle Zones, and more! Not to mention special closed beta rewards, custom titles, and achievements only available to testers during Closed Beta! Oh and of course events! We've got events that range from holiday celebrations, GM beat-downs, hide- and-go-seek, screenshot and video contests, and everything in between. It's your chance to win awesome prizes that carry over to Open Beta. Q: Could you tell us more about Spirit Tales "Spirit Form"? A: Spirit Form is a special ability all characters can unlock at level 10. It allows your character to channel their Spirit Animal and take on their form! Spirit Form unlocks special abilities, shatters enemies’ defenses, and even unlocks special loot items that are only available when players defeat enemies while in Spirit Form! However, this powerful transformation is only available for a limited time. This is shown by your Spirit Bar, a gauge that refills by using skills in combat. Pressing the space bar transforms your character into an awesome animation and begins draining your Spirit Bar over time until it's depleted, or when you cancel it by pressing space bar again. Q: How does the Pet Morphing system work and what kind of abilities do the pets have? A: Spirit Tales has a MASSIVE pet system. Every monster you see in the game world can be tamed! Each pet has a unique set of skills – active and passive – as well as unique stats and resists that accompany the special Morphing skills. In Spirit Tales, you will be able to have 2 pets at your command; one to fight along your side and one to "morph" with. Morphing with your pet gives you a special aura visible to all players, and imbues you with the strength of your pet. Pets like the rare Baka give you 3 morph skills, in its case; bonus defense, bonus agility, and bonus health. Other pets give bonuses to movement speed, cast speed, and many more. There are literally thousands of different combinations, so you can spend months deciding which pets create the perfect matches to fight along your side. Q: Can you capture Bosses in the game to make them your pet? A: Yes, but only while in Spirit Form. Battling enemies in Spirit Form damages another pool of points the monsters have. To explain; the main damage pools are HP (Health points) and MP (Mana Points), but this third pool, BP (Break Points), is only damaged while in Spirit Form. So when a monster's BP is at zero, their defenses are lowered and special loot is unlocked. When you battle Bosses in instances or global events, you'll have a chance to loot a pet egg of that boss when their BP has dropped to zero.

| Eudemons compares animal film stars and MMORPG pets Posted: 08 Mar 2012 11:16 AM PST Eudemons Online has released a discussion comparing the pets and animals we so cherish, as seen in films, with the pets we love in MMORPGs. Here’s what they had to say:
Watching the 84th Academy Awards recently, we can easily find that films about animals made up a big part of the nominees. These animals are not only cute and funny, but also smart and talented in dealing with all kinds of difficulties. Some of them are the greatest and inseparable companions to their owners, just like you and your pets venturing out in MMO games!
More Than Cats and Dogs Cats and Dogs have always been very popular in filming. "Puss in Boots" and "A Cat in Paris" were nominated as the best Animated Feature Film, and "The Adventures of Tintin" was nominated as Best Music (Original Score). But there are some other interesting and brave animals we can't help loving: Po, the chubby panda in "Kung Fu Panda 2"; Caesar, the ape in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", and Rango, a nameless chameleon.
If you cannot have those lovely pets in your real life, why not turn to MMO games for help? They can offer you an even larger variety of pets than you'll ever have in the real world! You can choose from all kinds of creatures in World of Warcraft, and can catch almost any creature as a pet in Ragnarok Online. Or you prefer the F2P games with a unique pet system, there's Eudemons Online, which has over 100 distinctive pets and mounts to be raised and taught different types of skills. No matter what kind of pets you like, MMO games provide you an exciting journey while having fun with those cute pets! 
Love Between Pets and Owners Among those Oscar nominees, "War Horse" is sure to be one of the most touching films. It describes the strong and deep emotions between the horse, Joey, and the boy, Albert. After all the hard time Joey has been through during World War I, Albert finally finds him and brings him back home. The whole film goes directly to the hearts of pet owners, and even the people who don't have pets of their own.
Speaking of MMO games, the reason why most hardcore gamers can't get their hands off the game may be the game itself, or the friendships they form, or simply the love of their pets! Take Eudemons Online as an example, where you get the eggs in different ways, then hatch and raise them yourself, teaching them different skills in battle and watching them grow up and become stronger. While the pets are born to follow you their whole life, they also offer you extra battle power, luck, and can smash monsters with their own powerful skills. You have to stay strong with your pets, so that you can win the numerous battles, beat dangerous enemies, and hunt vicious and formidable bosses. They're like your most loyal allies in battle, just like the horses to the soldiers in the World War.
 This is a season of animals for the Oscars, and pets have always played an important role in both movies and MMORPGs since their inception. After watching those films, gamers may want to look back to those pet MMO games. Pet lovers can definitely give Eudemons Online a shot, as it's famous for its interesting pet system and intense PK experience.
There're so many options to choose from, and all will give you the joy of having your very own exotic pet! Try some out, today!
