Publisher Changes

Rappelz was originally published in the West by gPotato (a division of Gala-Net). In February 2013, Webzen acquired the game and took over Western publishing. In 2020, Play2Bit became the new publisher and has operated the game since. The developer, Gala Lab (formerly nFlavor), has remained the same throughout.
