Allakhazam Editor Christopher "Pwyff" Tom recently shared his opinions on Atlantica Online, and he feels the game is unique, entertaining and complex.

Due to growing consumer demand, the company will be opening a sixth server, Delphi, on Friday. According to the release, NDOORS is prepared to welcome "thousands" of new users to the game.
In celebration of the server launch, NDOORS will host "Fortnight of the Oracle," a two-week power-leveling event to give both new players and veterans the opportunity to enjoy 120% to 150% bonus experience on weekdays and weekends, respectively. In addition, there will be a level-up race for 1,000 Gcoins, a screenshot contest, quiz bowl, monster hunts, treasure hunts and item giveaways offered during the event.
