YG.com releases the Rift database, the newest addition to their extensive game database network

Las Vegas, NV -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/07/2011 -- YG.com, a leading provider of Internet gaming and online community tools, has launched its Rift database in light of the game's North American release.

Developed by Trion Worlds, Rift is a fantasy MMORPG set in a rich and beautifully-crafted world, and gives players everything they would expect in a high quality fantasy game. Among its key features are its gameplay environment that was made to be friendly to both group players and solo players alike, and its highly customizable character class and abilities system (known as the "Soul" system). The game was released in North America on March 1, 2011.

YG.com's Rift database (accessible at http://rift.yg.com/) has all the top-notch services that their other popular game databases provide, such as detailed in-game information and useful online tools for players. These include tooltips that players can integrate into their own websites, and the all-new Rift Soul Tree Calculator. The Soul Tree Calculator allows players to select their character's main class (or "Calling") and subclasses (or "Souls"), and assign points to their skills as they would in-game. Once players finish selecting their desired skills, they can lock the configuration so that no one else can edit it, and generate a link to it that they can share their Soul Trees on forums or websites.

"We launched the Rift database at the same time as the game's release so that players can use it as soon as they begin playing the retail version of the game," says Brian Higby, YG.com's chief technology officer. "We know that Rift was highly-anticipated by the community and that many players will be searching for a reliable source of information for it, so we have every intention of keeping our database up-to-date and accurate. We will also definitely be working on adding more features and tools that will help players out as they continue playing the game."

YG.com releases a new database site for the much-awaited MMO

Las Vegas, NV -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/02/2010 -- YG.com, a leading provider of Internet gaming and online community tools, has officially launched their database site for Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV). This site is the first complete FFXIV database, with detailed information about items, skills, NPCs, quests, guildleves, and more.

FFXIV, Square Enix's second venture into the MMORPG genre, is the sequel to Final Fantasy XI (FFXI). It was first mentioned in August 2005 under the codename "Rapture", and has been much awaited by the gaming community since then. FFXIV features elements similar to FFXI, such as experience-based level-progression, but will also include "skill-based progression", which is similar to that of Final Fantasy II. Its job system, referred to as the "Armoury System", enables players to take on various roles of their choosing (such as Thaumaturge or Archer) simply by wielding different weapons.

YG.com's FFXIV database (http://ffxiv.yg.com) features useful information about crafting, items like weapons and armor, as well as detailed information about skills, guildleves, NPCs, recipes, and quests. Users can easily navigate through the database's many sections through the site menu, or type in keywords in the site's search box to find the exact information that they need. The database also includes a collection of zone maps to help players navigate through the world of Eorzea. Like their other database sites, YG.com's Final Fantasy XIV database provides syndication tools for users' websites, which include item tooltips, the YG FFXIV search box, and a browser plug-in that allows anyone to search for something in the database straight from their browsers.

"Now that open beta has started, we decided this was the best time to open our database for the FFXIV community to use," said Brian Higby, YG.com chief technology officer. "Given that a lot of things may change as the game moves from open beta to its final release, we will make sure that our FFXIV database is up-to-date and accurate in order to keep up with the players' needs."
