Aika's launch in North America marks its premiere into the Western hemisphere. It is currently being published in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong and Gala-Net is pleased to bring Aika to its millions of gPotato users. Aika is being developed by JoyImpact, a development studio owned by HanbitSoft, one of the largest online game publishers in Asia. Aika is expected to launch in Spring 2010.
Gpotato has announced that all Aika Online players outside North American will be prohibited from playing the game. Anyone outside of North America attempting to access the game afterwards will find out their account has been terminated and their access – ip-blocked. Nobody knows for sure why Gpotato have taken such drastic measures, but the decision has not come directly from Gpotato. The decision was instead made by Gala-Net, owners of Gpotato.
