Frogster expects further increase of revenues from both the roll-out into the Polish language version which was just launched, from additional game content, amongst others the siege battles between players' castles which were announced yesterday, and especially from the third chapter 'Runes of Magic - The Elder Kingdoms' which was announced for May 2010, from additional large-scale marketing campaigns, especially in the USA and Korea and from improvements in functions such as the already announced enabling of impulse purchases within the game and the reduction of the data volume of the initial game download with a 'slim client'. The running monthly revenues of the MMO game 'Bounty Bay Online' were rising strongly in January and February compared to the previous months.
