P2E Mobile Game ‘Lord of Dragons’ Begins ‘Open Beta Test’

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA – Media OutReach – 22 December 2022 – Korean Game Company, Sotem Mobile (CEO: Kim Min Seok) has announced on 20th December that ‘LOD GLOBAL’ (Lord of Dragons Global), a P2E MOBILE MMORPG GAME, begins its first beta test on 26th of December.

Many projects within the P2E market have been plagued with sub-par quality games that are neglecting the golden rule of ‘game must be fun to play’. Players opt to play various titles to simply have fun and relieve their stresses from daily lives, and many projects have simply chosen to ignore this crucial aspect.

Sotem Mobile’s latest title, Lord of Dragons, is about to change this trend once and for all. Development studio has solid track records of publishing successful series of games such as “Dragon-raja (PC)”, “Dragonica (PC)”, “East Legend” and many more. This time, the studio proudly presents their Full 3D MMORPG, LOD, after 2 years in development. LOD is heavily focused on ‘fun-to-play’ aspect, rather than putting a sole focus on ‘earn’.

By deploying multi-weapon system and 6 different attributes offer classic targeting-play method while 70 different transformable characters of different races to be available at launch, thus players are not only confined to play with characters of human race. Each transformable characters offer unique abilities and attributes based on their race while enabling users to utilize various synergy effects between their playable characters and transformable characters.

LOD’s other strengths can be witnessed at its in-game economy where all manners of monetary assets are tokenized. Users not only require spending tokens on NFTs but also to buy consumables or other types of items at in-game environment.

This aspect sets LOD apart from other types of casual P2E game, where the in-game economy and ecosystem are much more complex while offering various opportunities for users to reap benefits, rewards and profits by playing the game. LOD’s in-game economy is comprised of ‘dual-token economy’, and perhaps it is the very first P2E MMORPG that truly fits in such category.

Dual economic system creates a healthy P2E economic circulation. The LORT utility token will prime the gaming ecosystem while LOGT will further be used as a utility but predominantly for stabilization. All these tokens will work in tandem with the Unity 3D engine-powered gameplay for an immersive and fantasy mobile gaming experience.

Upcoming Beta test will be carried out from 26th of December 2022 to 24th of January 2023 in a form of ‘Open Beta Test’. CEO Kim expressed his excitement that the company’s venture into the P2E market is ready to be demonstrated to users around the world and expects many users to participate in the very first beta tests as well as to join LOD GLOBAL’s vibrant communities and social media channels.

The First-Ever Tasting of 12 Varieties of Japanese Sake, Including IWC Medal-Winners: London’s Japan Centres to Host the Niigata Fair, a Collection of Food and Sake from the Heart of Japanese Brewing, 16-29 January 2023

NIIGATA PREFECTURE, JAPAN – Media OutReach – 22 December 2022 – The Niigata Industrial Creation Organization (NICO) is an organisation devoted to bringing greater visibility to sake and food from Niigata Prefecture, one of Japan’s leading sake-producing regions, to Europe and the United Kingdom. From Monday, January 16th to Sunday, January 29th, two Japan Centre food halls in London (online shopping also available) will host the Niigata Fair, presenting and selling the best of Niigata Prefecture’s sake and food products. On Saturdays and Sundays during the fair, there will be free sake tastings where visitors can compare a total of 12 brands of sake.

Niigata Prefecture is known for heavy snowfall, leading to rich nutrients from melted snow, and enjoys other great natural bounties. With its abundance of high-quality rice and water well-suited for sake brewing, Niigata has 88 sake breweries, making it Japan’s most prolific producer of high-quality sake.

In addition to the region’s classic light and dry variety with its crisp, clean flavour that does not linger, there are also a variety of mellow and sweet brands available.

Since 2018*, NICO has organised this London-based fair at Japan Centre, one of the largest Japanese food retailers in the United Kingdom and Europe, with the aim of presenting the true appeal of Niigata’s food and beverages, including sake, and helping establish them as new favourites in the region.

This year’s Niigata Fair will feature sixteen food products including rice, seasonings, Japanese sweets and soba noodles, as well as a record number of 12 brands of Niigata’s sake and other products. Sake has been gaining recognition outside of Japan in recent years, and several sake breweries that have won medals at the International Wine Challenge (IWC), the world’s largest sake competition, are included in the line-up this year.

*The Niigata Fair was not held in 2021 due to COVID-19.

A representative from fair organiser NICO had this to say.
“I hope that this fair will be an opportunity for more people to enjoy the diverse flavours of Niigata’s sake. For example, Kubiki Sake Brewing’s Koshijinokoubai Junmaidaiginjo, an IWC2021 Gold Award winner, has an elegant fruity aroma and a delicate, soft flavour that pairs well with the finest and most tender cuts of steak. Also, happojunmaiseishu hakurohanabi from Hakuroshuzo Kabushiki gaisha with its well-balanced acidity and sweetness is well-matched with seafood, with its natural carbonation lending a light and refreshing texture to go with fried dishes such as fish and chips.
We are also looking forward to hearing the voice of our customers through product reviews, using these to expand through the UK and the rest of Europe going forward. ”
