TALA server now up

A new star is shining among the realms. TALA smiles upon those brave enough to venture into a new path.

RAN Online, the No.1 MMORPG in the country today and flagship online RPG of IP e-Games, is proud to announce the much-anticipated launch of its new server, TALA.

This is the fifth server for the most popular online game in the country, whose number of active players have risen dramatically over a period of just a few months.

The latest server prior to TALA, the fiery ALAB, was launched just a couple of months back, but the unexpected and instantaneous rise of players led to another contest to name a new server.

A similar format was done before for ALAB, which gave the players (or "students," as they are more fondly called) the chance to participate directly in the launch by suggesting a name for the new server.

A shortlist was made from a number of suggested names, and TALA was voted by the RAN community as the best name for the server.

"We are quite happy, ecstatic even, that for only a short period of time, we're already into our fifth server. This is quite unprecedented," said Steve Tsao, president of IP e-Games.

Quite unprecedented it is, as the rise of players not only resulted to the creation of a new server, but also led to an "exodus" of sorts, as RAN Online initialized free inter-server transfers among the players to further balance the gameplay.

TALA is the Tagalog term for star, and IP e-Games hopes that it will serve as a guiding light to the latest generation of RAN players.

"There're so many players in the older servers right now that the game is visibly feeling the brunt, " says Tsao. "Through TALA and the server transfers, we hope to balance out the distribution of players so that all servers will receive optimum service from IP e-Games."

As the RAN community continues to expand, expect additional server launches and free server transfers in the future.

"TALA is just the beginning. She will light the way toward the great many things that are yet to come," added Tsao.
