MMOsite: What led you to import this MMORPG into the U.S. market? Why do you believe it will be viable? How will your game set itself apart from other fantasy MMORPGs?

Jiwoo Park: Asda Story was brought over to the U.S. market to fill a specific niche in the online game industry where the attractive aspect of being free to play for as long as the user wishes is combined with a game of high enough quality and content that it could rightly hold its own in the field with games that would otherwise require a subscription fee to design and run them.  We are confident that Asda Story will be a success, and already have a huge number of updates and improvements with both upgrades to existing content and game systems as well as entirely new features currently in the development cycle for future release.

MMOsite: What is the soul mate system, and how does it work? What are the main benefits that characters derive from this feature?

Jiwoo Park: The Soulmate system is a function unique to Asda Story that allows players to pair up with another user's account and gain special benefits and powers as well as increased amounts of experience when they play alongside the other's characters.  As they do so, the Soulmates will gain Soulmate levels which grant access to increasingly powerful abilities such as improved damage dealing and stats, healing spells, resurrection abilities, and even the power to teleport to one another.  Soulmates are also able to have one of the pair log off while the other continues to play, and experience will be collected and given to them from it when they log back in at a later time. Playing with a Soulmate not only allows a player to level faster, but also have much greater versatility in-game while doing so.
