Acclaim announces 9Dragons MMORPG Commercial Launch

Looks like 9Dragons has gone offical! And along with the launch of the Kung Fu MMOG by Acclaim, they introduce their Item Mall where players can purchase items for in-game use with Acclaim's proprietary money. Seems like more and more developers are looking at this form of in-house virtual property as a viable financial model.

Los Angeles, CA (May 9, 2007) - Acclaim Games announces the Commercial Launch of 9Dragons, a FREE TO PLAY martial arts Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) for PC, and introduces the all new Item Mall. Think of the world of Hero, House of the Flying Daggers, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Drunken Master rolled into one. In the game, you can rise from a beggar on the streets to a master of Kung Fu as you train with some of the greatest masters of ancient China. With over 500,000 registered subscribers, 9Dragons is one of the fastest growing MMORPGs in the US and Europe.

While 9Dragons remains free to play, the commercial launch features the release of the in-game Item Mall, where players can easily purchase various virtual items using Acclaim Coins. Purchasable items include elixirs, healing herbs, and unique outfits for those players who demand that their characters really stand out. Players who want to bundle new features can purchase Premium Packages that offer Kung Fu boosts and other features that can enhance gameplay.

I know Kung Fu.
