Asiasoft Passport

Asiasoft Passport: More gaming action and activities await at the Asiasoft Games Festival ("ASGF") 2010, the annual gaming carnival held by Asiasoft Online ("Asiasoft") to showcase its games and to reward its gamers! Already in its third year, ASGF will run simultaneously in Singapore and Malaysia during the June school holidays.

The festival will be held at Iluma in Singapore from 5 to 6 June 2010, and in four major states in Malaysia over the span of two weekends in the same month. ASGF 2010 in Malaysia will kick off with exhilarating tournaments on 4 June 2010 in Johor Bahru, with concurrent events held in both Johor Bahru and Penang from 5 to 6 June 2010. The celebrations will then travel to both Kuala Lumpur and Sabah from 19 to 20 June 2010. Major event highlights will be duplicated in both countries, to better cater to the gamers of the titles that Asiasoft publishes in both territories.

One of the most highly anticipated highlights for ASGF 2010 is the "Monster Forest Paradise of Pets" official launch party for Asiasoft's latest free-to-play 3D MMORPG that combines wildly popular gameplay concepts such as turn-based skill card battles, pet breeding and mini land farming!

Singaporean starlet Kanny Theng, the official ambassador and celebrity GM for Monster Forest, will be making special appearances with game mascot Angel Bear in Singapore and Johor Bahru! Fans will get to interact with her for an upclose "Meet and Greet" autograph session, as well as during exciting stage games and Monster Forest game demo sessions!

Another dazzling highlight of ASGF 2010 is the much awaited launch of a new class, Evan, the Dragon Master in MapleSEA, in conjunction with "Hi-5 to MapleSEA" 5th year anniversary celebration!

Evan is the second Legendary Hero class to be released in the MapleSEA game service, hot on the heels of the Aran Class in November 2009. Being the very first summoner class in the game, Evan forms a special spiritual bond with the powerful Onyx Dragon that accompanies the class in the fight against the Black Magician!

The Evan Class does not have the same job advancements available to other adventure classes such as the Knights of Cygnus. Instead, the class features the new "Growth System", where growth stages are achieved

by leveling and new skills are acquired with each growth stage! Additionally, damages and attacks are brandished by the Onyx Dragon itself, which goes through a captivating evolution from an adorable whelping to a magnificent drake!

In conjunction with MapleSEA's 5th anniversary celebrations, players can take part in several fringe activities, contests, redemptions and lucky drawswhere players can stand to win in-game items and never seen before game premiums!

There will also be attractive MapleSEA @Cash Pre-Paid Cards ("PPC") on sale, featuring 3 new enchanting PPC designs of MapleStory Evan Class. Players can also snap up exclusive in-game items that will be available for sale at the ASGF 2010 Offline Cash Shop. Visit http://www.playpark.net/asgf2010. for more promotions and offers.

Asiasoft gamers and MapleSEA players in particular can also look forward to the public launch of the Asiasoft @Key, a keyring-size security device that generates unique PINs for access to MapleSEA game accounts and Asiasoft Passport accounts.

The @Key is the first device of its kind to be provided for a free-to-play MMO, and invitations have been sent to 1,000 special MapleSEA players to redeem their @Keys for free in Singapore and Malaysia! Limited sets of the @Key will be
