+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Asda Story is a free to play mmorpg (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) with an item mall system. Asda Story is a word which means “topsy-turvy”. “Topsy-turvy” is a musical drama film in 1999 from United Kingdom in Europe. Asda Story is originally from Korea and Japan, called: “Micmac Online”. Then last August 5, 2008 it was published in USA Server by gamecampus.com. Then, foxxgames.com was the new publisher of ASDA Story Online in Europe. Their CBT (Close Beta Test) will start on August 26, 2009.

Job class start at level 5, when you acquire the level 5 you can choose one of the 3 NPC’s with 3 different classes. Then, it’s your journey to choose what class you want for your character.

Unique System:

SOUL MATE System

Unique System not only in ASDA Story but also among other mmorpg’s. I’m not sure if other MMORPG’s got this system. Soul Mate System is like you are finding for your partner in game. But who knows not only in game but also in real. Since other players finding for in-game relationship, ASDA Story is fitted for them. It is a party for two player’s continuously not unless if you broke up with them.

What’s good of having a SOUL MATE in ASDA? Since it is a unique system, they got special benefits for those who got Soul Mate inside the game. You can gain different Emoticons and Skills. Before gaining all skills, you need to level up the Soul Mate. Also, if your soul mate is ON or log in, you can gain Experience points if you are near with him/her.

When you broke up to your Soul Mate, your special benefits will lose and Soul Mate level will start to zero, however you can still get it if you go back with them.

Quest System

Job Class Quest
To be able to completely change your class, you need to finish job class quest given by NPC. It is also the way to learn new skills in your character.

NPC Quest: (Scenario)
This quest helps new players to be familiar in the game. NPC gives various stories about the game. Their rewards are gold, experience points and other items. If you don’t want to hang out with monster’s whole day, you can do this quest. Beside, while doing this kind of quest, you gain experience and level too.

There are more other quest in ASDA Story but haven’t experience all yet, I’m still exploring the game and waiting for the Euro server to launch so all start to level 0.

Dungeons
Love to hunt bosses? This place is suited for you and for your party members. It isn’t easy to kill the monsters inside the Dungeons, better to have party member or else you won’t reach the Final Boss. What’s good in hunting inside the Dungeon? You can get good items that you cannot get in field outside towns.
