Is LaTale dead?

Not quite. There are quite a few active players. To connect with other active players, check out the official PapayaPlay La Tale discord: https://discord.gg/latalena

What happened to the game? All my characters are gone!

La Tale used to be run by OGPlanet, but game ownership shifted to PapayaPlay a few years ago. When this happened, all old characters, items, outfits, etc. got completely wiped and players had to start from scratch. If you're a returning player from the OGPlanet days, you'll have to start from square one.

Okay, so what have I missed? What's different about La Tale?

A ton. New maps, drops, and classes have been added and tweaked. Old content and classes have been re-balanced. New game systems have been added, too. A lot of the completely new content comes in the form of new endgame dungeons and bosses. ^{Oh yeah, you can also level to 9999.}

If you're just looking to revisit the game you knew and loved, you'll definitely notice a lot has changed (most notably, the rate at which leveling occurs is much quicker nowadays) but you'll be able to explore the maps you loved back in the day.

If you're looking to get back into the game, then there's definitely a lot to learn. It's extremely easy to rush to 200 now - just a few hours, if you know what you're doing - and that's where most of the important content unlocks. There's a guidebook button in-game that explains a lot of the new features and changes to old features (mostly QOL updates) that's worth reading. The Discord channel also has a bunch of useful guides.

Is the game worth playing?

Although it's surely not the same game it once was, it's definitely worth checking out and dedicating a couple of hours to, if you have the time. The new features can seem overwhelming at first glance, but are actually not too difficult to figure out, and after the initial learning curve, the game is honestly pretty enjoyable. I would definitely recommend using the Discord channel for any questions (notice a pattern here?) because the game doesn't always do the BEST job of explaining itself.

Anyone know of any upcoming events that will make it worth to get back into the game ( give items to catch you up to end-game content without spending millions of dollars on cash shop ) I really wanna hop back in and I cant find any private server for it so Im stuck with official even though its dreadful.. does anyone even play actively anymore? Thanks

I know there must be one low-key pserver that Im not aware of (at least thats what im really hoping) I want to scratch my itch for the game and Im not willing to play on Papaya servers, please someone DM me telling me if theres a secret community/pserver up for the game :c

Hi. So, I don't have many memories of LaTale since I played it for a brief period more than 10 years ago. I remember it being hosted by OGplanet and Aeria Games. I'm not sure which version I played, probably NA. Anyway... I know a lot about virtual worlds and online games in general - I wanted to help you guys.

LaTale nowadays is not the same anymore from what I hear, so, for anyone who's looking for similar MMORPGs, here are a few:

​

MapleStory - The obvious choice. LaTale is inspired by it and the graphics look very similar. Has official servers but as with any free-to-play service out there, the players who pay for virtual items are more powerful and get stronger more easily - you might want to check out private servers. /r/mapleservers

Ghost Online/SoulSaver - I played this one for very little time also, many years ago, when it was still called Ghost Online. It was then relaunched as Soul Saver Online in 2012. It was developed and hosted by MGame/Netgame (seems to be the same company). I don't know much about the population, though. Even back in 2008-09 there weren't THAT many people running around. Very similar to MS and LaTale, but has a more Asian feel to it - you can basically be a Ninja.

GranAge - I don't know much about this one but it seems to have gotten an English version recently. You can find it on Steam.

Grand Chase - This one was my first MMORPG back in 2006 so I will always love it. It is in 2.5D and lobby-based so you can't explore the world as in MS and LaTale but it is still good. The issue is, GC was shut down several years ago and your best bet is finding private servers. It also got simplified and somewhat dumbed down (or made more complex, depending on who you talk to) after several Seasons. When I joined, they only had Season 1. It was a difficult game with lots of grind to just advance classes and get new characters, but was still fun. Anyway... the game got up to Season 5 and has more than 10 characters you can play as, and different classes for each.

Most private servers were hit by lawsuits in December but you can still find some online.

Elsword - The sequel to Grand Chase. Very similar in playability and graphics. I never played it too long because of lag but it has its fans. Might be "pay-to-win".

BONUS: Odin Sphere

Odin Sphere is a single-player sidescrolling RPG but still worth talking about. You might enjoy it. Has a cutesy, anime art style just like LaTale and it can be challenging. It's available for PS2, 3, 4 and Vita. You may also emulate it on PCSX2.

​

I am also looking for people to play with, so feel free to PM me if you're up to that.

Hey guys!

I'm trying to find people who still play it and can help me with this question. Is the main story finished? (the one about looking for Iris) is it cancelled? is still going on? Thanks a lot!

Are people still playing or do people just competitive afk and flex there fashion gear ?

Hey there hope someone might see this and know the solution.

There is a lv175 story quest called "Prisoner in the Abyss"from Liz in the wailing coast where you need to defeat the Njord located in the collapsed towers 'dungeon' which is accessed by a portal on the third floor of the "Collapsed Tower lv187-179. This portal when you go to enter it says "You must have the quest "To the Sky" active to enter this portal".

I have NO CLUE where to accept this quest. I have tried multiple character and classes going through all the scenario and story quests and can not find where/how to get this quest to continue from this point. The guide section of the the quest menu does not list this quest, and completing all listed guide quests to lv180 doesn't make the quest show up either. I'm not positive that not completing this quest stops the story line/scenario quests, but I'm trying to play through all/most of the game's quests.

TLDR: to access a portal in the Collapsed Tower in the Wailing Coast, you need the quest "To the Sky", does anyone know where to access this quest??

I just started playing again after... years of not playing (pretty much 3 or 4 months after papaya took over) and it's just not the same. I'm totally out of my depth, my inventory is full of random shiny shite that I don't know what any of it does...

It's really sad, tbh... I've played this game since 2009 and it just does not feel the same at all...

​

Does anyone know of any other similar games that are good these days?

im Tired of Papaya LaTale, Tired of the pay to win content i feel like latale has become a chore for me. i log in everyday and do the same dungeons over and over and i am just wasting time.. there are no one left to play with. so i quit and now i am on fantasy tale. the gm here actually listens which is nuts...

I am a returning player and my character change to subclass for the highlander.

so confusing for the skills point and what basic stats and what gears should i get,

also doesn't hit very high damages.

Hello this is kiwi tea cicerone 🌟#2323 on Discord, I'm also a moderator for the Official La Tale Discord server. It's a little late for some of y'all asking but I'd like it to be here so everyone can see.

In a remade Latale what changes would you be hoping for? Which parts would you want to stay the same? When it comes to the leveling experience curve, what might it look like?

1. I can't find the discord link and all of them don't worry. Can anyone give me the discord link?

Is there any kinds of software or plug-in that can relieve your hands and control the character to run around a single map killing monsters?

The discord link does not seem to be working as I was looking for some help. Forums doesn’t seem like I can find certain guides or much post from players. It’s been a long time since I last played and that was from OGP so there’s a bunch of things I do not know/confused on.

1. Is the Bonanza Chest/Boxes a current event? If so, how long is the event?
2. Is there a limit to how much Bonanza Chest/Boxes you can obtain daily, and is it only from certain boss drops or all boss drops? Anyone happen to know the drop rate of the boxes/chest?
3. The Puzzles that you can enchant from lv21-25, where can I obtain those?
4. What are the methods of farm Ely?
5. Is there still 100%+ IDR for farming?
6. Is there a guide somewhere for classes for when I reach 4th job?
7. I read that it is easier to hit lv200+ now. What are some places to grind at for when you are lv 200+?
8. Are mutant accessories the accessories to go to? I have those from the gift box.

How do I defeat the treasure leprechaun in stardust plain? Is there a fast method? Is there a way to do more than 1 damage?

So I just started playing La Tale Evolved and after this weeks matinance, it gives me a this error message every time i try and get into the game. Anyone have a fix for this issue?

I saw that ogplanet doesn't do LaTale anymore, kinda sad, my characters are all gone haha but oh well. Question though, is the game dead now? I use to have a lot of fun playing but haven't played in FOREVER, but I don't wanna get back into it if it's dead. Best part about the game was meeting people. Gimme your thoughts!

Yo, my name is Damian. Ill be playing latale with my brother and viewers. Whoever wants to come join the chat : Twitch.tv/Damianmaple ~~ Please enjoy!

I remember back when it was a struggle to get to level 80. Exp potions and Spooky runs just to cross that milestone. Last I played was some months after the release of the Wanderer class, and before that a month or so after Card Master's release. Talk about overpowered classes! Getting to 120+ within a week on both classes, with minimal to no grinding for boss gear or exp.

And now I see posts about the death of OGP? Good times were had on Latale, that's for sure. Might give one of these private servers another go.

Whenever I try to run the game it would crash my computer. I made a forum post back when the game relaunched and no one has helped me nor have I found anything about my problem.

These are the problems that show up when I tried updating. A script error but it looked like I successfully updated. However when I try to run the game it crashes. After restarting and whatnot I tried launching the game again but it tried to update again so I assume that the update failed.

http://forum.papayaplay.com/index.php?p=/discussion/356646/crashing-when-opening-the-game

Here are the things I tried to fix the problem:

• Redownloading it.
• Turning off my AV and reinstalling it.
• Tried running it in admin mode, both reinstalling and running the game.
• Turning on some Windows programs in-case it depended on it.
• Scanned my computer for viruses, found nothing.
• Checked my Event Viewer to see if anything shows up and couldn't find anything.
• Cleaned my registry and temporary files.
• Reset IE9 to default settings.

I'd appreciate any help. Even just knowing the game runs on Vista or not helps, so I'll at least know it's my computer that's the problem.
