    I'm playing it now, and it is a lot of fun! I don't have the same commitments now as I did the last time they ran, so I an going to stick with it for a while. This weekend myself and a few other MMORPGers are going on an ASTA marathon!


    The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!

    So far the popularity is very low 




    Exactly, its gonna end up like it did last time (or last 2 times?). People that hear about it will enjoy it, then after a couple of weeks or so they realize there's no one really around at various levels to do things with consistently, then it shuts down again. But people will cling to anything until the "next big thing" comes out (spoiler: there never will be a next big thing).

    Some people put very little value on their free time (or have too much of it) so are willing to give almost anything a try, even when there's clear evidence they shouldn't.

    Developer's know they can separate some money from these folks hence we see things such as this.

    Well, I tried Asta once. Can't remember everything exactly, so checked what i wrote. There were double controls (to look somehwere - one control, to go somewhere -another) that I really hate. Dark side was more interesting than light one. And then there was PvP, so I quickly abandoned Asta.
    If they fixed controls and made avoidable PvP, it may be worthy trying.

    This is a fun old school mmo. I think a lot of older mmo players would like this game.

    I  would have tried this game but it was the forced PvP that turned me off. These games suffer because they don't understand that many players refuse to build up their characters only to be forced into PvP at a later level. I played BDO but at least there the PvP is dependent on what areas you decide to go experience in and if you avoid them you are safe plus I think griefing there also has consequences.

    New info..

    Hello, Trainees.

    It's been a while, but we'd like to apologize first about delivering a sad news.

    So we had to decide to suspend the game service on 9th November 2017(Thu).

    Asta Online installation is deactivated, and all the game services will be officially suspended within 1 month after this announcement.

    We are sorry to tell you such bad news of game closing service all of a sudden.
    For schedule of Asta's service closure, please refer to the information below.


    [Service termination notice]
    ■ Termination date : 8th Dec(Fri), 2017
    ■ Detail : Service termination of ASTA Online
    ■ Reference

    and players are no longer able to purchase cash items.
