A Great Reason to Play Atlantica Online

What’s this great reason for massively multiplayer online role-playing game fanatics to drop their current gaming flames for Atlantica Online? Why, it’s simply a chance to win a brand new car.

Well, yeah, it’s a good come-on but not enough to whet your appetites. Please don’t bash my head in with a mace for trying.

Anyway, blessed are we who play Atlantica Online. I’ve already won a brand new, uhmm, vehicle. Not the one you see in modern times, though, but an in-game mount, all thanks to this new promo Atlantica Online operator NDOORS Interactive is calling, “Unlock Your Way To Atlantica.”

Here’s an excerpt from the promo mechanics:

The vast treasures of Atlantis await those who have the key—and the key is within your grasp! Gain fabulous in-game items just for playing the game, and play enough and you can win an incredible prize, such as an Xbox 360, a Playstation 3, or even a brand new 2010 Scion TC Sports Coupe!

From June 23 to August 18, players are encouraged to work with others to unlock better prizes, work with your server to get the best rewards, and work for yourself to drive away in your own 2010 Scion TC Sports Coupe!

All players can receive at least one Event Entry Key per day by staying logged into the game for an hour during the event period. The player will receive a notification in-game once the hour has been reached, and the key will automatically be sent to your mailbox. The player must be level 20 and above to be able to use the keys on the website. Once the key has been used, the player can log in to his or her account on the website to manage the keys.

Using the key on the Atlantica Online website will randomly unlock an item which will then be sent to the player’s ITem Mall Pickup in-game. Some items are exclusive to this event, such as the Swimsuit and the Bathing Cap.

The announcement continues by saying that players on each server should collectively use more keys to reach what NDOORS calls “milestones” and gain better rewards. When the total amount of keys is reached for the first milestone, for example, three things will happen:

First, players who have used at least one key in that milestone will be entered into a raffle for real prizes. Second, the server that used the most keys within the milestone period will receive 200 percent bonus experience. And last, new items will be unlocked and added to the key-use item lottery.

To be totally frank, the item lottery can get frustrating in the initial stages of this promo. But once you rack up keys and open lottery boxes one after another, then things will get better. I got a Byzantine Elephant mount!

But nothing can compare to the feeling of winning this bronco:

The 2010 Scion TC Sports Coupe.
