July 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Xsolla, a global virtual currency reseller specializing in MMO, social, mobile and casual games, today announced that Xsolla has partnered with Aeria Games to provide monetization solutions for Aeria Games in Russia and Eastern Europe.

One of the fastest growing free-to-play gaming communities because of successful games like Shaiya, Grand Fantasia, Wolf Team, and their newest release, Eden Eternal, Aeria Games has a loyal following of players (over 20 million registered members) which has been the driving force behind the company's rapid growth.  

Xsolla is the #1 in-game monetization specialist in Russia and Eastern Europe, providing a wide array of payment options specifically suited to the Russian market, which is a bit different than other markets in that the majority of people prefer to pay with cash, due to high credit card fraud.  Xsolla's Direct Payment service enables gaming publishers like Aeria Games to offer virtual currency to its players easily and effectively by only offering payment options that are tailored to the unique needs of the market- in this case, Russia and Eastern Europe.  

With Direct Payment the player is redirected from publishers' in-game store straight to the payment option checkout page, where all the player has to do is authorize and confirm the payment. No extra information to enter and no additional pages to visit – A direct link is created to make payment easy for the player.

“We are excited about working with Xsolla, which is growing rapidly,” commented Vu Hoang, CFO of Aeria Games & Entertainment. “We want to expand into Russia and Eastern Europe, and we feel that Xsolla will help us to achieve this goal because of their experience in Russia and Eastern Europe and the vast amount of payment options offered through Xsolla.”

Albert Donahue, VP and Co-Founder of Xsolla commented: “We are looking forward to working with Aeria Games.  Aeria Games has experienced record growth in the last two years and has many loyal players. We believe our Direct Payment service, vast number of payment options and experience in Russia will make for a great partnership.”
