FreeStyle: Big spring festival to be held in March
MMO sports game FreeStyle Street Basketball, serviced at global game portal GameKiss, will launch a big-scale update and special events to celebrate the coming spring of 2010. The fourth major update since the game's commercialization in May 2009 will faithfully reflect users' feedback and provide many benefits to participants.
This big-scale update which will be carried out for three times from March 2nd includes nearly 100 items that will satisfy users' needs. A new decorative item, 16-Level special character slot and a face-customizing item will allow users to express themselves better in more diverse ways. Also, in order to live up to the diverse, fast-changing fashion trend, items that were permanently sold will now be sold during a set period. The price of the items will go down instead, reducing users' financial burden. Among newly added FreeStyle Skills is the "Power Rebound" which has been requested mostly by centers and big guys. The items are expected to become very popular after its release. Source
