It sounds either the opening line or the punchline for some sort of car-related MMO joke, but it's true. Prius Online is a popular free-to-play game in Korea, and Gala-Net has worked out a deal with CJ Internet, the game's Korean publisher and developer.
Not much is known about the NA version of Prius Online, but Gala-Net describes it as a "3C" or three-character fantasy game. The three characters consist of you and two AI-controlled companions, the Anima and Giga. The Anima is your companion, who grows and advances alongside you. The Giga is a sort of mercenary called forth in battle.
Gala-Net promises more information coming to the gPotato site very soon!

Played it for a bit. It's not bad for a free-to-play game. Some of the towns has a nice feel, such as the musician starter village. I like the way they implement some parts of the game, such as the quest notice board for people who don't want to run all around town searching for quest npcs.
I didn't get far with the anima, but it's interesting you can develop her character and her abilities would change accordingly.
The inventory's hell though. I get so many different healing potions and crafting materials my inventory got full in no time.
Hope to see the NA version soon.

Ah yes, the game that caused a korean couple to neglect their kid, for the raising of the virtual one. Which in itself is worth a look into the game. The game is gorgeous to look at, even prettier than some P2P titles. Can't wait to test it out.

Well that's one way to promote a game!
*Neglect your kids, play Prius!*
...I'm oddly interested.

Finally, I'll be able to play AND understand it. I know enough Japanese to know what to kill, and I understood some of the story, but this will be much better. I've thought to myself that, were this in English, it might be my favorite Korean F2P game.

Wow, great news. I too have been eyeing this game up and I look forward to checking this out. Glad to see I'm not the only one that has noticed it.

This game being managed by gpotato destines it for failure as a f2p game
Sorry to say but after what the **** at gpotato did to Allods, I have no faith whatsoever that they will learn from their mistakes.
Gpotato is all about how they can suck your wallets dry, not about making an enjoyable experience for you

Yeah because the failure of Allods is the failure of Rappelz, Flyff, and Aika. Oh wait... those are actually good games!
EVERYTHING G-POTATO TOUCHES IS EVIL! THEY HURT MY FEELINGS AND I WILL HATE THEM TILL THE END OF TIME!
You are either a paid troll, or a entitled crybaby. I doubt you are getting paid.

Too bad another publisher didn't get this game. Galanet is the worst choice for this game since all they care is about $$ and nothing much else.
