"Official Trickster Website" said:
Around 2am this morning, Don Cavalier, the billionaire and the founder of the world’s greatest game company Megalo-company, has passed away.
Since it was unclear whether he specified the successors to his fortune, there seemed to be a possible friction among the family members and company staffs regarding the inheritance of his estate, his lawyers have revealed a hologram data which contained his will.
And here are the details of his will.
“I, Don Cavalier, would like to leave a will regarding my fortune. First of all, the one thing all of you are curious about would be who will inherit all of my fortune. However, I am not going to select a single inheritor. On the contrary, I want to share them with everyone who wants part of it. But there is a catch. There is a desert island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean which will be the stage of my final masterpiece, “Trickster.” I want to invite everyone who wants to take part in my final masterpiece. Enjoy and survive, and get rich~! Puhahahahaha~!!!”
This news has spread out very quickly around the world and a great number of gamers are coming to the middle of the Pacific Ocean to get a piece of Don Cavalier’s fortune. We have send a correspondent to Don Cavalier’s island and when more detail becomes available, we will bring them to you.
All eyes are on Cavala Island, a desert island in the middle of Pacific which surfaced a few years ago because of crustal movement below the sea. It’s all because Megalo-company, a preeminent game company founded by Don Cavalier, has chosen this place and created a stage for their virtual reality game, “Trickster.” People with different reasons and purposes are continuously arriving at the island and by means of billionaire’s will, the game has begun. The most important goal of this game is to collect special game cards and in order to dig them up, you need to use special equipment (drill) provided by Megalo-company.
Half of my friends on Maple Story are trying out Trickster, so I'm gonna give it a shot before it opens. Before that, however, I'm currently downloading the Japanese version and reviewing the game mechanics so I won't be lost when the Global version comes out. Let's just say it looks... interesting. People say it looks like Ragnorok Online, but I never played it to confirm it.
