Software:4Story
4Story (also known as Gates of Andaron[1]) is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by the South Korean studio Zemi Interactive[2] and released in 2007.[3] It was published in North America and Europe by the German company Gameforge in 2009.[4] The game features a three-faction system and focuses primarily on player versus player (PvP) combat rather than player versus environment (PvE) content.[5]
In 2025, the game was released on Steam as 4Story: The Original. The release received mostly negative reviews and was removed from the platform later that year.[6][7]
Gameplay
The game takes place in a fictional land of Iberia, which is divided among three factions: Valorian, Derion, and Gor. Players may engage in open PvP combat, area conquests, castle conquests, and arena battles.[8]
Races
Players can choose from three different races: Fairy, Werebeast, and Human.[9]
