ASTA NOT just another free to play

I was hoping to encourage other people to give the new ASTA open beta a try. I'm in no way connected to Webzen and honestly alot of their other titles are horrible in my opinion. I really had very low expectations from ASTA and I will even admit to not being a fan of the medieval Chinese look and setting of the game. I really only tried it because like alot of younger people I don't have alot of excess money laying around to go and buy new games all the time. I have enjoyed playing so much however that I did what I almost never do and even spent ten dollars in the ingame store. I really want to encourage others here to try and give it a non biased go. I am finding myself almost enjoying it as much as I did when I started playing Vanilla WoW. I literally have no idea what happened when they were making this game but it's seriously quality in my opinion and it's still only in open beta. I want it to at least get a fair shot so if you find yourself without a game you're really into, give ASTA a shot.

People got to end game complaining there is nothing to do well a game that needs players to do some of the content what do you expect i don't know what people were thinking on first day of beta but there wasn't many people playing i couldn't even be bothered leveling up i went to go watch people on twitch becauase i so no one around and no one spoke.
The raid boss event never got killed once when i made a character on the Ora fasction on the Us server this event gets split by level range so people at different levels will turn up to a differetnt both like a level 35 will turn up to a different boss event than a level 15 and they are intanced so you can't get other people to help out of the level range.
I had veen watching streaming someone who was Ora faction on US i sometimes felt bad going into his stream because i was talking about my character on Ora faction EU and doing dungeons and collecting certain pieces of gear while he wented in dungeons finder for hours and nothing happening.
I feel like Webzen are just putting as little efect into running this game as possible the guides on their website for the game are still not complete the state they are in now is the same as when i found the game at end of december seriously can't they pay someone to do the guides just knowing they are not really trying to solve the problems was enough for me to walk away if i don't see a company showing care with their product i leave.
Is content still beinf created for the games that Webzen publish ?
I am starting to think this is where mmorpg's come to die and i wondered if that is why they no longer have Allods because they are actually still making content for that game.

I can tell now that you don't play on Ora faction but i agree webzen needs to do something or why bother playing if people are thinking of waiting it out that will not solve anything so i have stopped playing for now not going to waste my time if they fix the problems i will come back until i have been looking at Riders of The Icarus because i am without a game again. lol
I will say if you are going to play the game don't spend a thing and you don't actually have to pay anything you can play the game and enjoy it to end game without spending a thing but if you are leveling you will probably find the game very quiet loads of people have already left i stuck it out for 8 days the population was too low for the game.
From watching streams and seeing different guilds and how many members are in them and from what i have seen from playing the game i wpould guess there is only about max and this is being generous maybe 1k but that is for both servers put together NA/EU then you have to split them up again because of having 2 factions.
I was in 2 guilds one on EU and one on NA and both of them had pages of people who had not logged in for days and same when i looked at guilds what other people were in while they streamed the guild i was in on US server had 100 members the most i saw on at one time was 11.
People joined the game at different times and people got split up the world is big i used to go back and help low level players in the beginner areas i didn't see anyone else my level in them areas at all i spent all day once doing treasure hunting and helping new players with public events, buffing them and giving them free items.
If a member of staff from MMORPG see this have you started a review of this game yet ?

So little info on the game and not everyone wants to dedicate a week to playing in order figure out if the game is right for him.
I would also love to see a well rounded class overview.
So it's not just me that thinks MMOs today don't have as many players as they did three-five years ago?
I see no one is mentioning the pvp problem either i can't comment because i didn't get that far but lets say when the publisher is trying to get people to stop doing pvp in a game that has open world pvp then you know there is a problem.
So if you are going on the US server it's either join Asu which i have heard is toxic and from seeing faction chat on stream it seems what people were saying was right or Ora which is so underpopulated you may aswell just play a single player game because that is what you will be doing mostly while leveling up and events on that sever forgot it i never saw the raid boss get killed once and i turned up to everyone for 3 days but if you really want to try the game i would go EU server it seems better over there.
Anywho thanks everyone for posting. I'm grateful to everyone for your opinions and insight. Hopefully Webzen will get around to actually doing some interviews or promotional stuff if not it would be awesome if someone here had some spare time to write a review of the game. I'd be happy to help but I don't have the time to undertake it by myself and even though I'm very capable of writing, I haven't done any extensive game reviews and I'd be afraid I wouldn't do it much justice. Hope to see some of you all in game
