European players of OGPlanet games can now use the Wallie-card to purchase in-game items.
 
London, UK, August 26th 2009 – OGPlanet, a leading publisher of free-to-play massively multiplayer online games and Wallie, among the world’s leading pre-paid cards, today announced their partnership which will be effective in OGPlanet’s first European game, Rumble Fighter.

Rumble Fighter is a fighting MMA (mixed-martial arts) game, easy to pick up and fun to play. It was launched in Europe on July 27 and is available to all European PC gamers, for free, at http://rf.ogplanet.eu.

In Rumble Fighter, players can upgrade and customise their fighter by either earning “Carats” (through winning battles), or by buying “Astros”, OGPlanet’s virtual currency. From today, players can buy Astros through the Wallie-card, available at all major retailers in 7 European countries: UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Latvia and now Sweden.

As a special offer, from today to September 7th, players purchasing a Wallie-card will be offered a 20% Astro bonus.

“The Wallie-card is one of the safest payment method for online purchases, so I have no doubt it will fully meet our players’ expectations” said Stephan Ansari, VP of European Operations at OGPlanet. “The Wallie service has all our trust, and we are delighted to initiate a long-term collaboration with such a well-established payment provider in Europe.”

“OGPlanet games are very popular in the United States, so we are happy to support their establishment in Europe,” said Annemieke de Mooij, Manager Marketing & Communication at Wallie.
