''Rappelz'' is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game. The game is developed by the Korean company Gala Lab, formerly nFlavor. It is published in Europe and North America by Webzen, Inc. in English, French, German, Italian, Polish and Turkish. As of October 2008, Rappelz was also being published by the South East Asia based game publishing company AsiaSoft as RappelzSEA, but was later dropped by the company on September 1, 2009. The game was also published in Arabic for MENA gamers by the Emirati company Game Power 7. The game was released under a different title known as ''Hope of Nations'' ((アラビア語:أمل الشعوب)), and was commercially launched on March 16, 2009. A new version was released July 15, 2010 by EagleGame in the Philippines. As of Feb 6th 2013 it was confirmed by Rappelz GMs that "Gala Net, Inc. and its subsidiaries Gala Networks Europe and Gala-net Brazil have been acquired by Webzen, Inc.", however it is still being developed by Gala Labs and Gala Japan〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://rappelz-forum.gpotato.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1013493 )〕 Rappelz is set in a medieval fantasy world, dominated by three races: the Deva (who represent light), the Asura (who represent darkness), and the Gaia (humans that possess an affinity with nature). Each major installment of the game is referred to as an "Epic". The current installment is called "Epic VIII: Omen" (3rd part of Epic VIII). ==History== The Open Beta version of Rappelz launched on October 2, 2006,〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2007-11-18 )〕 with two separate servers available: "Tortus", the normal PvE server, and "Pantera", the more PvP/PK-oriented server. Those who had previously downloaded the Closed Beta version of Rappelz were not required to re-download the Rappelz client to play in Open Beta; however, extensive automatic patching was done by the client before Closed Beta players could enter Open Beta. Closed Beta ended on September 26, 2006. Closed-beta characters were deleted at the beginning of Open Beta; however, characters created during Open Beta were not deleted prior to the game's release. Open Beta ended with the official release of the game on November 3, 2006, entitled Epic 3 (the previous being Epic 1 and Epic 2: The Epic of the Absolute Creature). There are currently four servers in service namely, "Tyrant", "Baphomet", "Undine" and "Unicorn" (PVE)." Recently five servers were merged into two, "Fenrir" and "Bahamut" were merged into "Baphomet"; "Naga", "Tortus" and "Pantera" became "Undine"; and "Tyrant" was opened up as a brand new server. The US test server for Epic 4 testing was called "Siren".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://en.rappelz.gpotato.com/News/All/1000000000/2467 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rappelz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
