OGPlanet Running Halloween Promotion In La Tale

The last time we mentioned OGPlanet's side-scrolling MMO La Tale it was in mid-September after the title launched -- and they announced that prepaid game cards for the title would be available in Blockbuster.

Since then the title has been rumbling along in its position as (perhaps) the most direct competitor to MapleStory currently available, and now OGPlanet has announced that they are running, throughout the month of October, "Beast Bingo" -- an unusual promotion where players must take screenshots of their character standing with 25 different monsters (thankfully, one at a time) and then arrange those in a 5x5 grid.

Once the players have their boards, they can compete in Beast Bingo games hosted in-game by La Tale game masters on Halloween night and the following day.

"La Tale is a unique game in so many ways," commented producer Ross Park. "We feel that our events should be equally unique and exciting. Beast Bingo has already received a huge response from the community, and it should be a fun, memorable Halloween celebration."

It sounds like a slightly complex proposition to us, but if you're interested, you can find out more at the La Tale website and forums.
