Joymax Launches Open Beta For DECO Online

Seoul-based publisher Joymax has announced an open beta for DECO Online, its free-to-play casual MMORPG. Players are invited to log in and create fantasy-based characters, such as Knights, Snipers, Priests, and Psyches.

The Rocksoft-developed 3D game allows players to join one of two warring nations and learn arcade-style combo attacks which emphasize player skill more so than traditional MMORPG combat systems. Step-by-step NPC tutorials and guides are available to help new players start right away.

Though DECO Online will not require a monthly subscription fee, the game offers a Cash Item Shop, presumably for purchasing virtual goods and avatar accessories in-game, such as armor, shields, weapons, gear, and other customizable options for characters.

Joymax's previous published PC MMORPGs include Bumpy Crash Online and Silkroad Online, the latter of which has grown to operate in over 150 countries since launching in 2004.
