| MMOFury | | Can you please explain the general concept of the game and how was it developed? |

Elliott Coward
| | Corum Online is a Dungeon based MMORPG. The story of Corum Online starts in the land of Elland. Elland was a natural wonder, a playground for the Gods. It was in a constant cycle of creation and destruction. Eventually, an evil mortal dictator rose to power. At the height of his power, he performed evil rituals which destroyed the land and created a horrid evil world. The following years of evil caused the land of Elland to be known as the land of Corum, and split up into 14 different nations; each with their own troubles within their nations. Over hundreds of years, peace was finally reached. Now there is a growing need to unite the 14 nations and eliminate all the evil from the land. It is now the time that everyone must work together to vanquish evil, or become evil themselves.
Corum has been one of the more popular MMORPG's in Korea and Japan for years, so it was a natural choice for our (Gala-Net's) gPotato gaming portal. We just recently celebrated our one year anniversary since the public launch of Corum Online. |

| MMOFury | | How will you describe the various features that have been submerged in the game to make it more interesting and appealing to the gaming community? |
| | | |
| Elliott Coward | | The primary feature that attracts most players to Corum Online is the dungeon system. There are several Dungeons that allow players to siege, survive or train.
Dungeons level up as if they were players throughout the week. As more characters enter the dungeon, more powerful Monsters arrive to help protect the dungeon. It's best thought of as a smart dungeon that doesn't want to be defeated and sends reinforcements.
Players can control entire dungeons in game and gain rewards for their control, including taxes and uniquely rare crafting materials. This also adds an in-depth hardcore PvP system most other games don't have.
Survival Dungeons also allow players to fight and survive to win a special prize each day if they can make it through.
Along with Dungeons, we also have a fantastic Guardian (pet) system. Guardians are hatched and continue to level with you while protecting you along the way. We also have plans on a breeding system that allow you to adapt your guardians to fit your character build.

| MMOfury | | The Dungeon System is your key feature, is there a goal number for how many dungeons you would like to have in the game? |
| | | |
Elliott Coward
| | We never want to have a set number, we have goals for a minimum of new dungeons, but never a maximum. Plain and simple mmorpg players can burn through content like a hot knife through butter. We have been very pleased with our developer support. We have been introducing new options and patches weekly, and new content on a regular basis. Currently we are focusing on a completing new High level dungeon that introduces new Guardian components never before seen. |

| | The game play and sound quality of the game are quite good; however, PvP features have also impressed many users. Did you pay special attention to this aspect of the game? |
| | | |
| Elliott Coward | | Yes! Absolutely, Corum Online is very focused on PvP. One of our most popular daily events is our Honor Battle grounds where players join teams to battle for control of a custom dungeon to win special items not available anywhere else. Currently our developers are working on a Guild Vs. Guild Honor Battle system we will be rolling out very soon. Guilds will compete in a tournament style system. |

MMOFury
| | There are always questions from gamers regarding the quality of items in a cash store vs naturally obtained items. Can you explain the balance in Corum Online between these two options. |
| | | |
| Elliott Coward | | Well gPotato.com has always felt that our games must be free to play and just as fun whether or not you pay for premium items. Corum Online is no exception. We try to only sell items that do not create too large a rift between players that purchase premium items and players that do not. Also all of our items are available for trade in game, so players who are not able to purchase items in our Item Shop can still obtain these items.
This is something that takes up considerable time, we actually just rejected a new item idea because we felt it made it too much of a necessity to use the Item Shop.

| | Many users consider it a game for casual gamers. What plans do you have to attract hardcore users towards Corum Online? |
| | | |
| Elliott Coward | | Well we know from past experiences from our other games, what keeps players coming back; that's new content, new features and competition. We are constantly developing, brainstorming and implementing all of these as often as possible.
We are currently working on expanding the guild system and guild ladder system that allows people to work together and  interact more, in both a PvE and PvP setting. We feel that this is the key to strong community building and establishing an even more dedicated fan base.
We have real time Duel tracking that will give up to the hour status on which players have the best dueling record, most duels, and longest winning streak, all viewable by any player.
Corum is the same as all our games on the gPotato portal. It's all about the players. We are nothing without them and want to do everything we can to make the game their own. We are constantly talking to players for ideas on what they would like to see and what they think need change.

| | What kind of expansion system is planned for the Corum Online, are you focused on providing large content patches spontaneously or will they be featured as heavily anticipated events? |
| | | |
| Elliott Coward | | At this time there is no plan for a heavily anticipated release. We are focusing on getting content out for players as quickly as possible. Currently our developers are stretching themselves thin with all the things they have planned for our game. They are very ambitious and have been delivering consistently, and we expect it to continue for a very long time.
The future is very bright for Corum Online despite the lack of a new Edition or Version like our other games. |
