![]() Onrpg: What made you consider integrating the cash Mall Point system on some important aspects of the game such as the recruitment of commanders? IGG: No doubt the huge community of MMORTS fans is probably the biggest market for Galaxy Online since this game has everything they love. Onrpg: Who do you think would be the biggest market of Galaxy Online? Why? Infighting, drama, political maneuvering, all of it combines to form a unique environment rife with conflict. IGG: There are many features which players find enjoyable but we’ve noticed a lot of success with the tensions generated by the 6 playable factions. Onrpg: What do you think is the game’s feature that would attract the most amount of players? Thousands of players competing for limited resources, fighting for territory and power, creating vast fleets of star fighters and battleships, giving orders to their commanders…it is unlike anything that players have seen before. It could be described as chess on a very grand stage. It is a game of strategy that takes the whole galaxy into account and lets you move your pieces into whatever position you see fit. There is no faceless Empire to fight against, or slimy alien to battle with. We’ve created our own galaxy in the universe and let players fight for control of it. IGG: Galaxy Online has many features that you will find in other games, but the way it approaches the space/sci-fi genre is completely different. Onrpg: What makes Galaxy Online different from the other games of the same genre? Take the International Battleground, our players have already exceeded our expectations. The players really see that we’re throwing down a challenge with this game and they respond to it with enthusiasm. IGG: I would say wisdom and a passion for gaming make the Galaxy Online community stand out a lot. ![]() Onrpg: What makes the Galaxy Online in-game community different from other games? Is there anything in particular that you can say determines Galaxy Online’s community among the other game communities? IGG: So far we have launched 4 servers, which average more than 3000 concurrent players. Onrpg: How big is the game community right now? In addition, we are constantly issuing game tips, which players find really helpful. IGG: The game guide and the newbie quests help newcomers get familiar with the game quickly. Onrpg: What are the measures you took to make new players get familiar in the game? I think they really like the game, and they’re really eager to help us make it perfect. Some of the ideas have really stood out, and we’ve even modified some game features based on them. Their unique perspective has led to a lot of creative ideas to improve Galaxy Online throughout the test. As they got more familiar with the game, they have been passing along all sorts of ideas and suggestions to us. IGG: Well, I have to say, our players are the best. Onrpg: How was the player response to the game? Were they a big help to enrich the game experience? However, we’re doing our best to get information out – strategy guides, newbie guides and such – and we’ve seen the situation improving a lot. We really spent a lot of time putting many, many features into the game, and many new players simply get lost in the details when they first start out, so we end up having to explain a lot. IGG: We’ve found the biggest difficulty to be the game’s complexity. Onrpg: What were the difficulties you faced during the Alpha Test of the game? We’ve also got valuable data from the test and received many wonderful suggestions from players as well, which has made all the hard work we put into the game really worthwhile. We’ve successfully introduced this new genre of space strategy game to a lot of players. Basically, we’ve got what we needed from the test. IGG: I would say the Galaxy Online Closed Beta Test has gone pretty good so far. Onrpg: How has the Closed Beta Test going? We had the opportunity to talk to Jonas Norman, IGG Press Editor to get the latest scoop on how are things going in the game and of course how are things progressing in the test. The game seems to be shaping up as a very decent MMORTS game and Onrpg has had the chance of getting behind the closed doors of IGG. Galaxy Online is part a new MMO from IGG. ![]() Questions by Vincent Haoson, Onrpg writerĪnswered by Jonas Norman, IGG Press Editor
