MMO title Xiah really has a lot of good points working for it. First, it is free. And then the minimum system requirement is rather low, making the game accessible to more people. But we guess the best thing about the game is that it is Asian and the developers are proud of it. We all know about localization and stuff but publisher OnNet USA took a big risk in pushing through with their project.

According to the game's General Manager Daehoon Jang, this is exactly the game's strongest point. Jang pointed out that the genre is quite populated with Orcs and Elves and so they are banking that an Asian MMO will be appreciated. Xiah's Asian nature, as the GM explained, can be seen in the game's aesthetics and gameplay:

The flying feature that exists within Xiah can be described more as levitating and moving as opposed to flying such as a bird would do. It would be more accurately classified as "wire-Fu" as you might have been in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The developers wanted to keep the unique flying feature that many people associate with Asian fantasy motion pictures.

Monsters have a built-in feature which recognizes a player's level and experience and respond accordingly. For example, a player may be a high level and encounters a monster. If the monster is by itself, it will not attack the player. Instead, other monsters will be summoned and they will attack the player together.

We have created the unique feature of sub-communities (Guild, party, relation party, teacher-student, and lover) which allows players to choose the type of community structure they feel most comfortable with. This feature is a first of its kind in online gaming. We are in the process of creating a forum and hope to have that feature ready in the near future.
