MANILA, Philippines — After four years, game publisher Amped Games has finally announced the next iteration of their first massively-multiplayer online game Tantra.

Tantra II is set to start beta testing this November, in time for the company’s annual Amped Fest on November 21.

Tantra II is also developed by HanbitSoft. It will have the same eight tribes from the original but with more character attributes.

The maps in Tantra II have also been enlarged. Maps from the first game are also ported in Tantra II but are given bigger and better details. One new map is the Marana Dungeon where players have to eliminate all monsters in it before getting in-game certificates they could use to trade potions.

The Marana Dungeon is divided to two parts: one is for characters with levels 30 to 90, and the other is for 100-and-above character levels.

An additional feature in Tantra II is the Mail Box where players can send in-game items to other players. The Mail Box is accessible even if the player is not online.

Just like its predecessor, Tantra II will also be a free-to-play game.

Tantra Product Manager Ria Pineda told INQUIRER.NET that they are expecting new players to sign up for Tantra II but there should be more coming from existing and former players of the first Tantra.

She also said that even when Tantra II goes commercial they will retain the original game.

“We have a lot of loyal players in Tantra I so we don’t plan to turn off the game servers until everyone has moved to the new game,” she said.

Pineda added that despite new in-game and graphical features of Tantra II, it only requires the same computer configuration as the original. It can run on a Pentium III-powered processor, 128 megabytes memory and 64 MB video card memory.

lol no more patch for tantra but a new game is to be released. Tantra is not that good though.

QueenMaja

Hello Ria Pineda

looks like you are a rookie to the gaming community have you researched and done enough to look into games coming this 4th Qtr and early next year. I am not all pissed off but frustrated on your migration plan to move us to Trantra2… oh boy have you done spending habits of your community in relation to your CCUs. Better look again. If you build it, they will not come…so to speak. Gone are those days where gamers scramble.Too many games nowadays to choose.



markusdamascus

ako rin against n2….bkit gagawin pa nilang another game yan? ano akala nila sa atin, nangingitlog ng pera? they dont even care the efferts we have sa pagpapalvl ng char, wlang tulugan pa kng minsan!! 8 out of 10 players is against sa tantra II…20% of the player will patronized the new game but how about the 80%? will 20% enough for the admin to gain money to maintain the server of tantra II? well, with the recent issue about lost taney maybe they could! mga scammer na, mga bato pa!! for player’s sake, have some patience and try to put yourself in our shoe and let’s see if you will symphatize us or you’re just a face in the php bills…



vensae

ano yan…Mag deccision kayo without the consent of the players..gumastos ng malaki tapos ganyan lng???



Tantra

DON’T YOU DARE TAKE AWAY THE GAME WE PLAYERS LOVE.



kimkim

jxzia

walax

Hello and good day sir! glad to read your blogs and I’m pretty shock of what kind of bad news was that, I know you’re aware of issues regarding this matter, I hope you paid a visit to tantra forums and answers or enlighten our hanging thoughts. We, the loyal players of tantra, are asking you to speak and clarifies this things unto us, for our TGM still in their silent mode! Thank you!



SneakyAssasin

“We have a lot of loyal players in Tantra I so we don’t plan to turn off the game servers until everyone has moved to the new game,” she said.

LOL just kidding right?



SneakingAtYou

OMG please pakiclarify namn we wasted money for nothing>>>??? im a beta player of tantra I then ganun lang ka simple back to zero again>?? we better find new game if thats the case…



LowLight

masakit sa loob namin na mawawala ang tantra1..we are playing this game at start and then now mawawalang na parang walang nangyari.marami atang d papayag dahil sa gastos namin sa larong to…nag papa event pa kau ng event and mawawala lng….kala namin tantra II is merging the two server so that marami na ang maglalaro…gumastos kami dahil sa napamahal na samin ang larong to…wala cgurong papayag na mababaliwala ang nagastos nila sa larong to…sana matutuloy na ma merge ang two server..sa inyo na ang tantra II na yan…



Briggssstraton

Briggssstraton

Inredibulok

is that just simple.. why patch it on tantra 1?
where the hell u got the idea na maging
new game ang tantra 2?
ang tagal na walang progress ang tantra 1
before pa oct.22 all of us is expecting na
un na ang sabi nila na K5 which is an expansion of tantra K4…. but when this
article arouse parang nawala ung essense ng pagiging tao ko.. we really enjoy the game all we need is respect..
and for now nag pa event pa kyo..
ano yan final profit nyo.. sinisira nyo pa talga ung system ng tantra 1 just for us to transfer in tantra 2 what a lousy move.. mahiya kyo many critics is reading this article… ABS-CBN pa naman kyo! why make new game eh cant afford nga mag patch sa tantra 1 how lame..
and to be exact hawak nyo pa ang tantra GLOBAL… event in global .. event in tantra .ph … you are all such a lozer…

suggestion ko lang: okay lang gawa kyo ng tantra 2 .. wag nyo lang shut down tantra 1 and make merge to all server para masaya kami lahat kahit hindi pa K4 yan.. basta sama sama kami … all players can manage the game no tnx to ABS-CBN.



LOLOniLOLA

please do consider….

amp dami players ang di na mag lalaro sa game na sinasabi nyong iibahin at mag ququit sa original thus losing a lot of loyal players



finxfire

umm…they have a point…what the hell’s the point of creating tantra II when we’re all enjoying in tantra I?…
and no offense…ang tatanga nyo…sarili nyo lng iniisip nyo…ur so selfish!…do u know how much effort we put in, in tantra I?…
hnd na kmi pumapasok sa skul just for that game and now gagawa kau ng tantra II tpos by the time na dumami na players ng tantra II i-shushut down nyo tantra I?

dont be so selfish…think of the people around you as well…aba! sa panahon ngaun mahirap na pera…

mas mabuti pa ipatch nyo n lng tantra II sa tantra I…or make some program that will allow us to merge our items, chars, and shit to tantra II from tantra I…

that’s all i have to say….FOR NOW!…thank you and babye!

rav5

i guess the purpose na iseparate ang Tantra II sa Tantra 1 is bcoz to have more players kac if ipatch lng sa Tantra 1 e2 for them same players ang ang mglalaro, that would be their view probably BUT for us LOYAL players of Tantra 1, it is really UNFAIR UNFAIR UNFAIR…they are only thinking for their PROFITs whithout thinking on the LOYAL players’ views…we’ve already spent a lot for this game and all of those will be gone just for this new game with just a little difference with the original one…It would be nice if you have consulted or do some surveys first of your LOYAL players before coming up with this.



tantraloyalplayer

hi! guys sa lahat ng na comment nyo wala na akung masabi.para sa akin kung yan man lang plano nyo na itoloy ang tantra II dapat di na lang kayo nag pa event sa month of october at november kc ang laki na nang nagastos namin para lang maka sali sa EVENT nyo.Alam nyo masaya ang laro na ito wag nyo lang sna e back to zero ang laki na kaya ng nagastos ko sa net cafe, at sa load palang malaki na gastos namin wag naman ganun kahit sino players jan na tanungin nyo at pa pipiliin mas pipiliin cguro nila ang tantra1 kay sa tantra 2. pls naman kung cnu GM oh manager ng tantra ma awa kayo sa katulad namin na ini idolo ang tantra na laro. d nga kami lumipat sa mga bagung laro tulad ng cabal,RF,ragnarock kc mas injoy kami sa pag lalaro ng tantra tapos ganito. Gawin nyo dapat ang dapat gawin na walang mag rereklamo at walang masasagasaan na mga player.

“tantra rules” ^_^

Say to tantra 1 not to tantra 2 _<
bleh!



rav5▐escaped▐

you should have told us that this Tantra II will start this Month and one thing..you should not have those USELESS EVENTS for this month if all of those we spent will just go for NOTHING



eventhorizon

buti n lang nde ako masyado seryoso sa larong ito, i knew it from the start n darating tong chapter n to. kaya kayo lesson dapat yan sanyo, wag kau adik para d sayang pinaghirapan nyu. kumain mna kayo. go! cant wait for tantra 2.

tantra rules!! wakekeke.



GurkII

Suggestion ko lang po. Patch nyo na lang kaya yung tantra 1 sa tantra 2 at gumawa ng bagong server para sa gustong magback2zero.

Para walang reklamo at wala ng asaran para lahat happy together and rub each other so that u make it feel hot. HAHAHAHAHAHA



mustang

sa palagay tama po kayu sa comment since laro ako ng tantra im very panatic with it pero im totaly desapointed what will be there plan . Expect no more players sa tantra 2 kasi pangit na tsaka nakawalng gan sayang na invest namin ganun lang ka dali change. othere words kong wla kaming players do u think this game wil sustain di naman talga ah pasalamat kayu meron kami kong wla kami wla kayung mapera sa game. it should be give and take not always take. its huge ufair to our side dont expect na kaming palyers will play with this new tantra it was a stupid i dea



Reds

For all tantra I current & existing players:

You can ask for Migration Compensation to Tantra II as a prize for your loyalty in Tantra I.

As your game manager if they will approve it.

JUST A SUGGESTION ^_^



TristanofHeaven

You cant really stop this from happening since there is already a contract. All you can do is ask for compensations.



ZXOnline

inaasahan kong mangyayari ang bagay na to kaya nga nakapag quit ako nung last month. at ngaun na confirm kong totoo tong tantra 2 its time to move there. all player is noob and fair na sana dito no cheat sana!!



hackenslash » Support for game Tantra I to continue

[...] Fans of Tantra have complained about Tantra II, which was initially thought as an update to Tantra I. But it was revealed later that it was a new game. [...]



Mr. Fair

Again it’s all about money,i played tantra1.hmm tantra2 maybe just a peek, if
maganda at di OP mga item sa shop tulad sa e games.



memOzX

For players who are saying Tantra II is unfair:
Quit being such a cry babies. It is still your choice whether you are leaving T1 to play T2 an in fact T1 will not be wiped out. That is a fact cleared by admin as of the moment.

For Amped Admin:
Is this something to compensate for ruining the game with the edited items in T1? LoL

I’m playing in THE PVT server and i think you know guys where that is however im considering T2 would be great however I still have worries on playing T2 because of the doubts in my mind that what if what happened in T1 will turn out to be happening in T2… O_o

T1 got out of balance so to fix things they brought T2 up and prioritized it..

Correct?



forbsamOFsamadi

!!!!Tantra 2 ! like ko yan !!! game na



forbsamOFsamadi

GODLIKE GUILD of samadi !!!



zed

kelan po ang exact date of release ng open beta ng tantra 2???



mokat

kaylan lalabas ang game na 2???



Observer

for those who complain. dont really understand how software mades. its just like from windows 95 until it gets vista. always remember that a 4 year old program always need to be replace. theirs no kind of game that is not made new after another. kaya my tantra 2 para my bago. sa mga gusto mag stick sa tantra 1 e don kayo. nd naman mawawala ang tantra 1. tantra 2 is new so newplayers starts at lvl 1. para patas naman.



bungang

tagal nmn release ng tantra II labas nyo na po ng maaga mga sir’!!!



RIA PINEDA
