San Jose based publisher Gamescampus.com is so confident in their new offering, Asda Story, that they’re offering a $30 refund if you DON’T enjoy your experience.
Asda Story is a free to play MMO based in a colorful, bright and cheery world that features fantasy sytle anime in a 3d MMORPG setting. Asda has a number of features, but a unique ‘soul mate’ system allows two players the ability to align to become soul mates. These dynamic duos can then wear unique costumes and use special skills. The ‘Real Costume System’ give players some of the most extensive character customization and personalization ever seen in an MMORPG.
When initially launched in Korea and Japan, the Soul Mate System and Real Costume System appealed to a more than 20% female user base. These systems allow players the ability to personalize the design of their items and looks, and make their characters stand out. Gamescampus.com is expecting to see similar results in the US launch. Customizations will be made available via micro transactions of Gamescampus.com currency, Campus Cash.
AsdaS Story opens it’s beta testing doors this evening, August 5th at 9:00 PM Pacific Standard Time. The open beta test is backed by a strong promise, “If this isn’t the most enjoyable free to play MMORPG game you’ve ever played, we’ll give you $30 for your feedback.” Full information regarding the enjoyment guarantee can be found at http://asdastory.gamescampus.com/event/fun.html.
“We chose to bring this game to the west because we believe in its potential. The Guaranteed Fun Promotion is our way of showing our belief in the game and is even better than a money-back guarantee because you dont have to spend a penny to play Asda Story,” said David Chang, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for Gamescampus.com. “We are just asking you to invest your time in playing our game, and if after playing for 30 days you dont feel it has been the great game experience we feel it to be, we want to hear your feedback and we’ll give you $30. It is as simple as that.”

To ensure that gamers are giving Asda Story a fair crack, in order to qualify for the $30 (if you so choose), players must reach level 40 by September 4th, 2008.
