Ryan Olson: Fiesta is doing really well; players are enjoying it and we continue to publish a lot of great new content for the game. That being said, it's still pretty new so we can't release too many specifics about the size of the player base. We did just announce a fourth game server, however. Altogether, the Outspark community is approaching 2 million registered users, meaning there are a lot of people enjoying our games. It's pretty cool to see.
Fiesta's official commercial launch was November 7, 2007 ?C that's when we opened the game store. Right now you'll find tons of cool premium items inside, from new outfits and pets to power-ups like experience boosters.
MMOsite: As we know, Fiesta is a Korean made MMORPG. What are the reasons for you to bring it into the U.S. market?
Ryan Olson: Outspark wants to partner with the most talented development teams we can, and we believe Ons On (Fiesta's developer) made a game with a lot of great features that English-speaking gamers would enjoy. Quests, guilds, a large game world, crafting professions??these are just a few of the great features in Fiesta. When you combine them with the dynamic in-game events run by our Game Masters (monster battles, scavenger hunts, dance contests, parties and more), we believe the result is a really unique, fun game.
MMOsite: Fiesta is a cute anime style MMORPG, so does it mean it is only aimed at teens and female gamers? Or it is fit for all ages and types of gamers?
Ryan Olson: Fiesta gold does have a cartoon style but we think it appeals to a variety of players. Those new to MMORPGs can download the game and start playing right away and it has enough options to keep more experienced players entertained too. Quite a few Fiesta players tell us that the game is their first MMO, while others may have come over from bigger, more well-known games.
MMOsite: One of the most fascinating things about Fiesta is the Kingdom Quest system. How will the system work? What kind of quest is it? And are there any requirements on the level and number of the players?
Ryan Olson: Kingdom Quests are one of the coolest parts of Fiesta and let a small group of players (usually around 15) work together to defeat tough monsters, earn experience and treasure. Examples include battling the King Slime, fighting Mara Pirates, or even surviving an encounter with the King Kong Phino.
Players are eligible for Kingdom Quests as soon as they reach level 5. In each town there is a special NPC that keeps a list of all Kingdom Quests and signs up interested players at multiple times throughout the day. Kingdom Quests are very popular and can sometimes be difficult to join, but persistent adventurers are well rewarded! For even more information, check out our Kingdom Quest guide:
