Trivia

Following the trend that most game worlds end in -a, the name Astera most likely comes from the biologic word Aster, which defines a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. The name Aster comes from the Ancient Greek word astron, meaning "star", arriving through the Latin word astrum with the same meaning. The name may also come from Latin "austeru" which means "austere".

Advantages

• Items are dropping in price rapidly
• The "Help the Newbie Fund" gives items to Newcomers
• Forums very active. However, they are usually negative, insulting, flaming, and replied to in a trolling way by the same negative group of people. Very few positive forum posts can ever be found.

Disadvantages

• House prices are rising
• The majority of persons are not English speakers.

• Many scammers, botters, and power abusers.

• Forums are usually filled with abusive, negative threads and replies. Any attempt at positive threads usually have a negative end result with the constant forum trolls whom continue to thrive by berating others without consequence.
