Angels Online: Creativity, PD and The Joy of Spring
Angels Online is an anime-style, 2D MMORPG packed with loads of fun and adventure. With the launch of the latest expansion last year, Angels online has once again proven itself as a gamers’ choice by smashing the previous record for having the highest number of gamers online at a given instance with its creative gaming platform.
Besides loads of special effects and wide-range character customization, the game boasts many options and other stunning features that keep players locked to their seats. One of these features in-game that keeps players coming back is the Paper Doll costume system or PD for short.
Angels Online PDs defy convention and eschew traditional forms of attire, giving the player a choice to customize, look good and feel great at any occasion. As the larger number of the game’s players riding on the concept of being young and trendy, the game developers set no restrictions on how their characters should look; classic, artistic, daring, gallant, imaginative, wacky or just plain-dead serious; there’s just about any style to suit every player’s mood in Angels Online.
Creativity walks down the runway hand-in-hand with style, continuing the proud Angels Online tradition of cooperation and teamwork, a crucial element of success in the game when the fighting gets tough. To the Asians living in many parts of the world today, the New Year is more than just a new beginning. Every year is a constant reminder of one’s heritage and to overcome newer challenges with renewed vigor. With that in mind, Angels Online releases its latest PD series, the Spring PD, a vibrant-colored, cultural outfit with rich, oriental fashion. Stylish, elegant and comfortable, the long flowing robes of the Spring PD comes in bright, lively spring colors, emerald green and rose pink.
When action gives way to more peaceful pursuits, fashion is the driving force behind the economy of Eden. Whether you’re getting ready for a party or just strolling through town, The Spring PD just about makes the most heads turn and get the attention.
In light of the New Year, the Angels Online team renews its promise to roll out the best in online and offline services. The Spring Paper Doll is just one of the many elements in Angels Online that help define its strong sense of community.
