Based on the Chinese literary classic, Journey to the West, Ether Saga Online combines lavish graphics with a youthful anime style and features a variety of unique features and systems for a truly one of a kind experience. Unlike other MMORPG games that charge subscription fees, Ether Saga Online will be free-to-play. Once inside the game world, players can earn and spend in game currency to upgrade a large variety of items in real-time to enhance and personalize their game play experience.

Players can choose from one of three races (Renzu, Shenzu and Yaoh) and six classes (Dragoon, Rogue, Mystic, Ranger, Conjuror and Shaman) in Middle Kingdom. You can engage in both PvE and PvP combat through quests, dungeons and the PvP Arena and PK system.
