1. Asgard (On-line Game) This is a online fantasy 3D game, which you have to develop a character and you can choose between 7 jobs and in that 7 jobs, certain ones can be pulled up to a different job. Although it is a developing character, you need communication to develop the characters. Guild is an important one for communicating with people. When I did this game, I was in two different guilds. It was a new experience and because they were mostly my age, it was fun communicating with each other. My friend played with me and also because she's been contacting people in that guild in real life, I had a chance to see them as well. Unlikely like other people who had bad experiences with online chats and others, they were just normal students like me. I'm still friends with them and we meet up when I go back to Korea.
