On Friday, Astellia Online launched into the first of several head-start phases for preorder purchasers, that one specifically for Legendary pack buyers. Tonight at 8 p.m. EDT, the gates will open for Platinum packers too.
So how’s it going so far? We’d joked ahead of MJ’s stream Friday night that it might be a clusterfudge, but it actually handled rather smoothly – perhaps because of the staggered rollout and odd timing. Reddit’s reaction has been somewhat positive as well, noting minor bugs and optimization problems that are counterbalanced by the usual Korean MMO expectations and a few standout content bits like pets and crafting.
We’ll be releasing our full and updated impressions later this week, though in the meantime you can check out our hands-on during the beta and our stream from Friday night’s headstart.
