Kakao Games Corp.'s new 2.5D MMORPG Dokkaebi-ui Segye closed its 1st and 2nd rounds of character name reservations in approximately 1 hour and 5 hours, respectively. The official launch is set for October 8 at 11:00 AM.
Kakao Games began the 1st round of character name reservations on September 22 at 8:00 PM. When the prepared capacity was exhausted in about 1 hour, the 2nd round opened on September 23 at 11:00 AM, which also ended in about 5 hours. Additional servers were added to facilitate smooth participation.
The pre-registration event will continue until the official launch. Registered players can select and receive 1 of 4 types of the in-game costume 'gat', and prizes including a 3-don (11.25g) 24K pure gold dokkaebi bat are provided through friend invitations and events.
Developed by Supercat, Dokkaebi-ui Segye is an MMORPG based on the IP of the Naver web novel and webtoon Myeonggwisudojeon. It applies pixel art infused with traditional Korean sentiment to a hybrid visual style combining 2D pixel characters with 3D backgrounds.
On September 18, Kakao Games also held a live demonstration of Dokkaebi-ui Segye. Supercat Producer Park Sung-jun, Director Jang Soo-min, and Kakao Games Business Department Head Cha Myung-soo demonstrated the game and answered advance questions and real-time Q&A.
During the demonstration, the development team revealed that growth-related stats will not be applied to costumes or mounts. They disclosed the uses for 'Gold' (Geumjeon), the currency earned through gameplay, and incorporated user feedback to extend the membership period from 28 days to 30 days.
