OGPlanet Rings in 2008 with Contests, New Items

El Segundo, Calif.- Jan. 10, 2008- OGPlanet, an innovative provider of multiplayer online games, today announced two events and a number of new in-game items for Albatross18 and Rumble Fighter, two of its popular massively-multiplayer online games.

Beginning Jan. 12, Albatross18 players will compete for prizes in the Birdie Marathon 500. For one week, OGPlanet will keep track of the numbers of birdies hit in the golf role-playing game. At the end of the Birdie Marathon 500, players will be rewarded with in-game items according to the number of birdies they've hit. Prizes will include Mulligan Roses (redeemable for a free second chance if a swing doesn't go well in a tournament), Power Boosts (used to increase distance by 10 yards for one swing), and Pang Mastery potions.

The Play Hard Get More event in Rumble Fighter will reward players who play a total of more than seven hours between Jan. 10 and Jan. 16 with a +200 Turtle Shell, which will protect them from rear attacks for 200 hits. Prizes will be awarded on Jan. 17.

New items abound this month in both Albatross18 and Rumble Fighter. Albatross18 players will have access to SWAT-like Tactical Gear for Max, cozy Knit Sweaters for Arin, and a Crimson Ring that increases distance by 4 yards. In Rumble Fighter, new in-game items this month include a Martial Arts ExoCore, Silver Earrings, Rocker and Corset Tops, Hardvard Schoolgirl Skirts and Bigger Afro, a huge new hairstyle.
