Loot, the phatter the better, especially when it's real. This summer, NDOORS Interactive is rewarding players of its popular free-to-play MMO, "Atlantica Online," with more than $30,000 in giveaways and real-world prizes. One extremely lucky dude or dudette will even receive a new car.

Here's a full list of the tangible awards:

1 – Grand Prize: 2010 Scion tC sports coupe

5 – Alienware 750i*

5 – BFG Tech GeForce GTX 295

5 – Playstation 3 80GB

5 – XBOX 360 Pro

5 – Acer H233H bmid 23" LCD Monitor

5 – Nintendo DSi Systems

Okay, NDOORS. You have my attention. Now tell me, what do I need to do while playing the MMORPG to earn a shot at these items?

The official release says:

"Once ‘Unlock Your Way to Atlantica’ kicks off, players will immediately be able to start earning keys. Players will earn one key for spending one hour of time playing Atlantica Online. Players can earn a maximum of one key per day. Once a key has been earned, it can be redeemed via the Atlantica website to unlock a treasure chest containing a random in-game prize item."

Here's some additional information regarding this event:

* The Mega-Event has seven phases known as ‘milestones.’ Each milestone represents a chance to win real prizes.

* When all of the game’s players redeem a pre-determined number of keys, the milestone will be hit and a raffle drawing for real world prizes will take place.

* Players must redeem one key during each phase

* The server whose players redeem the most keys will receive a 200% experience boost

* Certain restrictions apply. Please visit the official website for details.

Seems like a fantastic promotion for "Atlantica Online." My favorite part is that longtime veterans of the MMORPG won't have an advantage over newbies like me, should I decide to participate. Yay for equal opportunities!
