The Crisis is Over
Are the other MMORPGs out there just becoming too bland and overrated? Intent Software's
Astonia 3 may hold the key to solving your woes.
Intent Software's first product, Astonia 3, is an online fantasy role playing game,
where the player travels all over a huge medieval-fantasy world in the character of a
mage or a warrior to encounter innumerous adventures and fulfill increasingly
challenging quests.
You enter the Empire of Astonia whose very existence is threatened by the attacks of
creatures from the Underworld. On their journey through Astonia you come upon knights
and magicians, you visit castles and cities. You cross magical underworlds and fight
monsters and demons... oh my!
Your task, however, is to identify the origin of the menace to the Empire and save
Astonia from annihilation. Each of you players can decide to either complete this
mission by yourself, or to join a clan and explore the land of Astonia in collaboration
with other friends, or complete strangers for that matter.
Achievements are rewarded by experience points that allow you to enhance your individual
attributes and skills and thus create a very specific personal character.
Astonia 3 already has several thousand players worldwide, the game's official language
is English and you can download the game for free (http://www.astonia.com) and try it
out for 28 days. After the test period, you can choose to subscribe to the service for
US $9.95 a month in order to continue playing or call it quits. The subscription fee can
be paid by check or credit card.
