[1] It was created by Triglow Pictures Inc. (later Priston Inc.) and has since been published for Japan, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Brazil and the Spanish-speaking countries.
In 2004, the English version of PristonTale went out of public beta (in which it had remained for nearly two years) and became a commercial pay-to-play game.
As they progress they get different items, such as weapons and armour, to help them in their quest of achieving the ultimate warrior.
Armour in general helps the character stay alive longer by giving them different attributes.
[1] The development team stated at one point that they were "inexperienced" and had "learnt a lot" from the first version and that the second has had much better planning.
Screenshots of the new game from E3 2006 depicted many recognizable characters, enemies, and environments, albeit altered significantly.
[1] The game still maintains popularity and is competing with SP1 and Twelve Skies for market share, with tens of thousands of players online simultaneously at any given time.
Yedang Online has contracted with various publishers, and localized versions (including North America) will begin beta service in early to mid-2009.
