The game has gone through two beta test phases achieving an amazing rise in popularity among Arab players.
Arabic Rappelz is a 3D MMORPG game, i.e. gamers play on the Internet and interact with other players through their avatar in a 3D world. The game is the first of its kind to be published in the region.

[QUOTE=''-D3ATH-'']The female characters have to be fully covered with some kind of robe probably.[/QUOTE]Actually, there is a grain of truth to that. I searched Google to see what the difference was besides the language and I found this:[QUOTE=''MCV'']Launching today and available as a free-to-play download, Rappelz is the first MMORPG specifically designed for Arabic language players across North Africa and the Middle East. Various details of the game have been modified to better fit in with Islam culture. These include new sound effects for monsters and player characters, and modified costumes for female characters to cover more skin.[/quote]It isn't to that extreme though. Here's a screen shot:
early December Dubai-based publisher Game Power 7 announced the launch of the ''first Arabic MMO''-a localization of the Korean MMO Rappelz-and they have now announced a payment service agreement with CashU, apparently ''the dominant prepaid internet payment service in the Arab world.''
CashU is a prepaid Internet payment service, designed as a payment alternative in countries where credit card penetration is extremely low, and is now available in 28 countries worldwide.
This news precedes the official release of Rappelz, expected in early February 2009.
And if you're interested in the story behind Game Power 7, they're apparently a subsidiary of Weiss Investment, which operates a regional media hub that is ''sensitive to the region's cultural values,'' and has operated in the region for the past 20 years localizing and producing media contents targeting kids and youth, and broadcasting them through their satellite TV channels.

of all the games, why rappelz? i know a LOT of people here that play WoW in english, who can't even speak/read english. i just don't see what's so special about rappelz.
taking a korean mmo and adapting it for the ME, this i will have to see
lol just because it's made by arabs doesn't mean it won't show something >.>Either way I really doubt it's that great =\Low requirments and all =P I could be wrong though, either way I'm glad we have some people doing this.
Game looks terrible to be quite honest.
do you believe that that arabic version of rappelz will succed ???
where are you from dude??

As a Gamer I don't think it's healthy for me to play a game like that bud, it's rubbish.
