History[edit]

The company is a sister company of T3 Entertainment created in 2008. It was officially launched with the re-release of Audition in April 2009. Audition was originally launched with Nexon Corporation in 2007, but due to Nexon's closing of the game, Redbana bought the license for Audition. In August 2009, Redbana announced that they were going to release a new game called Mythos. It has officially launched in 2009. Although initially well received by the American Audition community, the Redbana Corporation has gone through server issues starting from the summer of 2010. In November 2010, the American Audition server and the Redbana forum repeatedly crashed multiple times. The Redbana administration has declined to do anything, leaving in its wake an increasingly angry and violent American and Brazilian community.

BANA Cash[edit]

Redbana, like some other gaming companies, uses the Virtual Asset Sales system. Redbana names their in-game currency "BANA cash". Users may buy BANA cash by credit card, PayPal, an Ultimate Game Card (UGC), a GoCash prepaid card, a PaybyCash prepaid card, or a Redbana prepaid card. As of now, Redbana's prepaid BANA cash card is only available in Target inside the US.[1] For Canada users, they may use other options to buy BANA cash.

Controversy[edit]

Like many other games, American Audition has been riddled with hacking issues, which have so far been inadequately addressed. More recent and troubling issues have included a migration of Brazilian players, who have imported Portuguese and semi-obvious hacks to the community. The American Audition community has largely dispersed and moved to other servers because of this issue, reducing the number of frequent players from a pathetic average of three channels a day to a meager two. So far, the Redbana Corporation has chosen to largely ignore this issue, leading many players to question the true worth of this Californian company. On November 26, 2010, online fights broke out due to increasing frustration with the company's inadequacy. Memorable quotes include "Axeso5 has it better than [American Audition players]" and "When is Redbana going to stop being a [censored]?". Several players speculate that the Redbana Corporation will shut down by the end of 2010.

Divisions[edit]

There is another Redbana website for Tawain, which has the URL redbana.tw. There are 2 games distributed, "All in ABC" and "AIKA". Redbana released a global site on August 27th, 2009. Redbana Global released "Camon Hero" the same day the website was live. On March 5th, 2010, Redbana Global announced that the URL redbanaglobal.com would no longer exist as of April 6 and will be moved to www.t3fun.com. They have announced they will transfer all data of "Camon Hero", but there will be a new Terms of Service and Private policy. They have also announced 3 new additions: "Grand Mer", "Mythos", and "워크라이 (Warcry)".

Redbana Philippines is a distributer of Hanbit Soft games such as Tantra and WYD. This leads to the other the logo, Gamebana. It was established to be a Global game distributor rather than one particular part of the world. This division has no relation to T3 Entertainment.
