Publisher's description of Astonia 3
From intent software:Astonia 3 is a massive multiplayer online role-playing game. Each player assumes the role of a battle-hardened warrior or a powerful mage. He or she enters the world of Astonia and begins to train for battle. The experience gained as characters solve quests, discover new places, and kill evil monsters can be applied to raise any of a large number of attributes, skills, and spells. Characters gain rank and power, qualifying them for better and more powerful equipment for the new and greater challenges that lie ahead.
Version 3.00.05 includes new areas, features, and bug fixes.
Editor's review of Astonia 3
4.0 stars
- ""
This fantasy-based online multiplayer role-playing game requires patience and fortitude, but the true trial is completing the online registration. We were dismayed to find Astonia 3 does not let you register your character in the client; instead, you must visit the publisher's site to obtain an e-mail that contains your username and password. Although the process takes time, we can't complain about the free one-month trial. We also appreciated the ability to change the screen resolution and graphic detail to ensure smooth gameplay.
Once you begin the game, you must immediately choose from a multitude of missions. You'll find plenty of help options, but if you're still stuck, you can ask more experienced gamers for help via the chat box. You also can use this option to organize a group of players to undertake more difficult quests. You increase your character's power by completing quests and killing opponents, but we missed the ability to run. Although transporters are stationed throughout the game, they're only reachable by foot, and your character walks at a leisurely pace. Overall, Astonia 3 doesn't have many original features, but role-playing aficionados will find it worth a try.

Version: Astonia 3 3.00.05
Pros: Nice idea and... nice graphics...?
Cons: This game is riddled with flaws, the leveling system is disgraceful and very, very dull, the community are rude, tight and will abuse you, the interface is cluttered and small, everything has to be "said" in order to be completed, the world, gameplay, and players will soon bore you and you will move onto something else, it could of been a great MMORPG, but it just wasn't to be

"I've played better games on the old atari 2600 system!!!!"
Pros: There is a wide varity of chat channels and they are fairly easy to use. (though the colors used are sometimes hard to distinguish between)
Cons: The game graphics are extremely disapointing. If you want sound, make sure you have your volume set "outside" of the game as there is no sound control within. Collecting money in-game to buy items very difficult unless one has played the game for years, this makes the game rather hard to play at times. As for getting someone to help you in the game..... doesn't happen. The community in the game is agressive and "WILL" chase away people who "just want to play". With only 32 clans there is not much room for competition. This game becomes repetitive and boring very shortly.

"Dont even bother downloading, worst game ever"
Pros: None
Cons: Intent Software allows racist players to continue playing and discrimination is rampant. Intent Software customer service is worthless almost to the point of not even emailing them. They are always right you are always wrong. They take your money and do nothing to fix problems with GM's they hire. The creators barely ever come on and are lazy. They don't even bother getting all the facts. Takes forever to get responses out of them. Simply put worst game ever.
