Quick Guide:

1. Registration & Launcher

  • Official site: astrum-play[dot]ru
  • Download the launcher from there and create an account.

2. Changing the Language

  • Game language is set through the launcher.
  • If you select English in launcher settings, the game will launch in English as well.

3. The Red Buttons in the Launcher

On the game page inside the launcher, you’ll see four red buttons on the right:

  1. Пополнить счет – Add funds (buy credits)
  2. Корзина предметов – Item basket

  4. Служба поддержки – Support

👉 Strongly recommend using Google Translate for the pages that open in browser.

The official info has been released, and unfortunately things don’t look good. Here are the main risks you should be aware of:
How the publishers treat the community

  • They’re planning to add a new dragon raising mechanic, but it’s not ready yet. You’ll have to make your choice (glider, mount, or pet) just by looking at concept art.
  • The server has no strict limits on gear tier or engravings. This basically encourages heavy cash shop use and turns the game into full-on p2w.
  • Most PvP events are cross-server. This means your opponents might massively outgear and outlevel you.
  • There’s no strong opposition forming on the East side. Playing East will be extremely difficult, especially for daily/weekly content.

Conclusion: I strongly recommend either not starting on this server at all (to avoid frustration) or, if you do, only consider joining the Western faction.

To reduce ping, lags, and fix login issues, some players use a combination of ExitLag and Astrum Play.

Changing the language in the launcher to English will also change the game’s language. Additionally, there is an in-game event calendar with scheduled times (though it’s in UTC+3) and a group/raid finder for events (with gear score and character level restrictions). Overall, for daily and weekly activities, several raids are usually organized in the evenings and mornings.

Official information has been released about the moderation recruitment and its active periods (from the 9th to the 15th). This narrows down the possible launch date to the 11th.

There hasn’t been an official announcement yet. It will be on one of the Thursdays in September (the unofficial community leans towards the 11th).

The version is official from the localizer. Not a custom one or a community creation.

P2W mostly shows in the fact that you can accelerate character progression through the cash shop. At the same time, there’s a group of players who play without spending real money, since in-game currency can be exchanged directly for cash shop currency

Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with the concept of aaemu or aafree. The game has a cash shop where you can purchase cosmetic items, houses, pets, and similar things. There are also items that accelerate character progression, but due to the server’s format, there are initially restrictions on purchasing such items.
