Legend of Orphelias

Legends of Orphelias was the first of two short lived games by the now defunct Nexon Asia in cooperation with Malaysia's TIME NET. It was launched for testing in 2001 and was shutdown in 2002.

The game was built off the USDA 4.52 client and thus contained largely the same base game play mechanics, graphics and sounds as USDA. The language of the game was English.

However the game world itself was entirely unique: based on neither LOD or USDA. It featured entirely different maps, paths, skills, spells, etc and total player versus player combat. There were even pets of every creature that would grow.

Player controlled guild, religious and political systems quite different from USDA were also planned, but were only partially implemented by the time shutdown came.

The game's back story story was on the premise that Chadul defeated Danaan in Temuair (thus putting Orphelias in the same universe as USDA) but found that without her light, his darkness could not exist causing a mutual destruction. Aisling sparks were since born into the separate world of Orphelias.
Legend of Orphelias
(Music Only)
 Legend of Orphelias had several unique music tracks which have yet to be seen in USDA or LOD.
Legends of Temuair
 Legends of Temuair was the second of two short lived games by the now defunct Nexon Asia in cooperation with Malaysia's TIME NET. It was launched for testing alongside Orphelias in 2001.

Where as Orphelias was a unique game, Legends was essentially USDA with only minor changes. Legends lasted a little longer than Orphelias but it too was shutdown by late 2002.

It is a curious question why Legends was conceived at all considering the existence of Singapore Dark Ages (SGDA) right next door, itself another copy of USDA.

Like USDA both SGDA and Legends were only available in English with no support for Chinese or Malay.
Legends of Temuair
Unique Music Track
 Legends of Temuair did have one unique thing about it: a single music track that was not used in Orphelias and has never since been used in USDA or LOD.
Yami 5.22
(Japanese Dark Ages)
 There was a Japanese Dark Ages at one point.
