Sep 28, 2008 05:10:35 AM News Item: 5512

Hamburg, September 26th 2008 - Leading European MMOG publisher gamigo AG confirms,
that the European English version of Fiesta Online goes into open beta today. After
a successful closed beta period with a limited number of testers, now everyone who registers
at the official Homepage http://fiesta.gamigo.com/ can immediately download the
client and start playing.
A vibrant community is looking for new members
In Fiesta Online thousands of players can discover a colorful and breathing world full of
adventure. Together they complete missions, hunt for monsters or take part in epic
Kingdom Quests. But what makes Fiesta really special are many useful community
features. The game is not just about training the character in battle, but finding new
friends and spending time with them as well.
But not just its features separate Fiesta from the competition. Great cell shaded
characters and detailed surroundings are making the game a welcome diversion from
usual MMORPGs. Its unique look and thought-out features already made Fiesta a big hit
in Asia and the USA. After the official launch of the German version two months ago, now
players from all over Europe can join the growing community and discover big treasures
and even bigger friendships.
Now free for all!
“We want to thank all participators of the closed beta, who really helped us setting the
game up for a bigger audience” says Elmar Kofler, Product Manager of Fiesta Online.
“Now we are excited to offer the game to all players who want to experience the
fascinating world of Fiesta and help us to polish the game even further for its final
release.”
gamigo invites all interested players to go to http://fiesta.gamigo.com/ to sign up and
join the world of Fiesta Online. The official European version of Fiesta Online will be
released later this year. Like the beta, the final version can be downloaded and played
free of charge with no monthly fees.

Fiesta Online : Fiesta: to have and to hold, 'til death do you partBy: James Egan
Jun 24, 2008 01:00:00 PM News Item: 4402
Filed under: Culture, Events, in-game, Game mechanics, News items, Casual, Humor, Fiesta  Ten Ton Hamster recently spoke with GM Dakkon from Outspark, about the new marriage system coming to their super-cute MMO Fiesta. They say the perfect spouse is someone who can be your best friend as well as your lover. Well as of June 30th, friends in Fiesta will be able to tie the knot in-game, by purchasing rings (that "allow the couple to warp to each other from anywhere within the game") and a marriage license. That special day is celebrated with a wedding dress and a tux, fireworks, and cute mini-pets.
While Outspark is saying "I do" to virtual weddings, thus far there isn't a system for digital divorce in Fiesta. Is it unreasonable to assume that roughly half of these marriages will end up there? One envisions this playing out with much drama... and so many possible scenarios. Custody battles over the mini-pets, and of course who gets to keep the house? Green card hunters looking to marry their way onto another server. And who knows... maybe even a black widow, marrying her way to greater and greater wealth. All jokes aside, Outspark is onto something interesting here. It seems to be a bit of a social experiment, but definitely one to watch, at least until the devs implement prenups. But one real question remains: will Outspark ban same-sex marriages in Fiesta? Perhaps controversy will ensue after all. Comments
Fiesta Online : Fiesta Online comes to EuropeBy: Brenda Holloway
Jun 21, 2008 01:00:00 PM News Item: 4401
Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, Launches, Free-to-play, Casual, Fiesta You know what we love more than anything here at Massively? You guessed it, Asian import MMOs. We can't get enough of them. Seriously. If we didn't find an eager crop of bright-faced young, anime-inspired MMOs in our in-boxes each morning, we'd know there was something very wrong with the world. Luckily, we're in no danger, because we have news today that Fiesta Online, already a hit in the US as part of OutSpark's collection of free-to-play Asian imports, has signed Gamigo to bring the game to Europe. English (reworked) and German versions will be released this summer, with French and Spanish version arriving later this year.
Fiesta Online is a 3D MMO with cartoony graphics, fully customizable characters, four character classes, and hundreds of quests, some of which need thirty people to complete. Dare we say, WoW-killer?

Fiesta Online : Outspark celebrates Cinco de Mayo with piñatas and sombrerosBy: Akela Talamasca
May 02, 2008 10:00:00 AM News Item: 4400
Filed under: Fantasy, Culture, Events, in-game, Game mechanics, News items, Free-to-play, Secret of the Solstice, Fiesta Outspark, home of Fiesta, Secret of the Solstice, and Bread 'n Butter, are celebrating Cinco de Mayo in their own festive, colorful way. How, you bravely ask? Players of Fiesta have the opportunity to purchase the fine steed you see to the right -- a horse piñata to rival those in any local corner store! We hope that this guy's expression is more indicative of enthusiasm than frozen-smiling, mind-numbing terror.
In Secret of the Solstice, there's a new "Happy Cinco de Mayo" emoticon and a sombrero that's more than just decorative, it has its own stats. From the press release: "Players should also be on the lookout for piñata monsters that have more than just ordinary candy for players diligent and strong enough to go toe-to-toe with the less-than-deadly beasts."
You know, we like Outspark's style. These events will extend beyond the 5th, to last the rest of the week. Go check 'em out!
