Intent Software launches Astonia™ 3
Hamburg, 1 March 2002.
Intent Software’s first product, Astonia™ 3, (www.astonia.com) was launched 1 March 2002. Astonia™ 3 is an online fantasy role playing game, where the player travels all over a huge medieval-fantasy world in the character of a “mage” or a “warrior” to encounter innumerous adventures and fulfill increasingly challenging quests.
The players enter the Empire of Astonia whose very existence is threatened by the attacks of creatures from the Underworld. On their journey through Astonia the players come upon knights and magicians, they visit castles and cities. They have to cross magical underworlds and fight monsters and demons.
Their task is to identify the origin of the menace to the Empire and save Astonia from annihilation. Each player can decide to either complete this mission by him/herself, or to join a “clan” and explore the land of Astonia in collaboration with other players.
Achievements are rewarded by “experience points” that allow the players to enhance their individual attributes and skills and thus create a very specific personal character.
Astonia™ 3 already has several thousand players worldwide. The game’s official language is English. Players can download the game for free (www.astonia.com) and try it out for 28 days. After the test period, they need to subscribe to the service for US $ 9.95 a month in order to continue playing. The subscription fee can be paid by check or credit card.
Intent Software creates and distributes software for online games permitting an unlimited number of players (Massively Multiplayer Games).
