ASTA – The War of Tears and Winds offers the essential MMORPG gameplay experience including traditional features such as customizable attributes and server-first achievements. You'll find extensive options for both solo and party play, with a flexible dungeon system and a ready-made party and raid finder that allows players to connect and group up in an instant.

Very reminiscent of Runes of Magic "which at one time was good" and other more modern and traditional MMORPG's with pretty much all the bells and whistles any player of the genre would expect, it really does a good job of wrapping up alot of what people like in one package, quite a surprisingly good experience that totally came out of left field, seems it "may" turn out to be pretty heavy P2W, but so far having a blast, love the nice open world PvE experience which so far is very rich and abundant with nice dungeons and interesting features such as raid queues and open world public quests, it has quite a few neat elements that make it worth checking out for sure.

This game has no similitude at all with runes of magic...

No need in explaining, we all believe you and yes, it does.

This sponsored stuff in the features tab is a bit much.

I (and many that I know) ain't even waiting for Legion. Some of us gave Blizzard the last chance with WoD and they blowed it. By the looks of Legion and it's content, it doesn't look to be any better than WoD, hell it looks worse, if that's even possible.

Yet we have no intention of playing WoW clones either, at least not the low quality ones. There is more than enough of high quality MMOs around to never return to WoW again.

So they have "sponsored" articles now. Bad form.

This isn't high quality? Also, what games are you playing that provide that WoW Burning Crusade feel? Most of your "high quality" games are stripped down, streamlined consolesque games for kids who don't like thinking.

I will agree that Wildstar is a very high quality wow clone done better, but I never could play a game for more than a couple months straight if that, so any game that is done well, has some depth and complexity, customizable character development, and all the bells and whistles you could want is definitely worth checking out and wasting some time with.

I do at least give them credit for adding the "sponsored" tag.

Some sites will do this kind of thing and try to pass it off as a legitimate article.

At least it says "SPONSORED" in all caps. Do you know how many other gaming sites have sponsored content and don't bother telling you? Pretty much all of them lol

They have had sponsored articles for a long time now. They say "Sponsored" right on the article graphic and title. What's wrong with that. Use your big boy powers of choice and skip it if you don't want to read it.

well the slippery slope keeps getting more slippery. It takes away from the integrity of the site, which is already stretched thin due to so many non MMO's being covered. For me, sponsored articles actually cross the line.

WTF?!? TROLOLOLOLOLOL

Why wait for Legion? I'm pretty sure that's the WORST marketing tag I've ever seen.

Why wait for the next WoW Expac when you can play a really crappy mmo that has no similarity to WoW whatsoever... is that their marketing tagline? Really?

I'm currently playing the game so I can given an honest review if somebody were to ask me. I will say the population is quite low which is a bad sign from a newly released game.

1000 quest mobs crunched together in a tiny space, felt like a mobile game.  lasted 10mins was prolly close to max lvl anyways

current wow players or vanilla wow players.   I enjoy vanilla wow , Am guessing this is not aimed at me.

Oh you poor souls. none of you has reached max lvl yet- i did in closed beta.
Let me phrase it this way: This cancerous game is a dead birth.

Even the endgame dungeons are a joke. They are all the same - just have different skins (mobs) inside. The game is heavy pay 2 win.

After looking through your post history, you only have negative things to say about everything. Get over yourself.

i'd like to see what ASTA is like but as i am in a blocked country, i wasted my time downloading it, just to delete it 5 mins later when i found out about the block. in retrospect i shoulda checked first, but who ever does that??

This.

The constant crying about this is just absurd.
