Red Stone Global Relaunched through Developer L&K Logic

L&K Logic Korea announced that Red Stone is re-launching globally through it's developer. L&K Logic ended OGPlanet's license for Red Stone on November 14, 2014 and decided to service the game themselves starting on January 20, 2015. Most Korean developers don't self-publish their own games outside of their home markets, so it's pretty big news that they decided to continue service for Red Stone. Current OGPlanet Red Stone players need not worry. Their accounts are safe and can be transferred into the new global service which officially launched on January 20, 2015. As the name implies, this new version of the game will be available to everyone around the world with no IP restrictions. Typically the only time this happens is when a game developer publishes their own title, as licensing agreements tend to force publishers to implement IP-Restrictions. The re-launch of the Red Stone will include several updates to the game such as two new areas: "Apostate's Escape (Lvls 420-500) and "Hidden Camp" (Lvls 500-550). For a full list of changes, see the source section below.

The biggest beneficiary for this move should be Red Stone players, as expansions and major updates should be rolled out much faster than before. Previously, L&K had to develop new content, then send it over to OGPlanet to translate and localize. Now, everything is handled in-house through L&K. The title will be available through the Game&Game platform, which is used by numerous Korean game developers.

Red Stone is actually a really old game. It was originally released back in May 2003 in South Korea. The game quickly grew in popularity in Korea, but saw even more amazing growth in Japan. Since launch, the game has been available in the U.S. through various different publishers, with OGPlanet holding the license from 2007 to November, 2014.
