We did a double take when hearing about this but it's legit. <a href="http://profile.aeriagames.com/user/371068">Superman0X</a> is a USA Gamemaster for Aeria Games, and has declared <a href="http://forums.aeriagames.com/viewtopic.php?t=348230"><em>"April is Fun Month at Aeria... GUARANTEED"</em></a>. <br /><br />That's a bold statement. But what does it mean for players of <a href="http://www.aeriagames.com/games">the various Aeria Games MMOs</a>? Superman0X writes, <em>"We are so sure you will have fun we are going to put our AP </em>[Aeria Points]<em> where our mouth is. If any player does not have fun we will refund all their AP purchases for the entire month up to 5000AP."</em> Players who didn't enjoy themselves in April will have a window of opportunity to request a refund from May 1st to May 10th . You can <a href="http://forums.aeriagames.com/viewtopic.php?t=348230">check out the full details in the announcement</a> but we're guessing Aeria has a lot of faith in their titles if they'd even consider making such an offer.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/04/07/aeria-games-if-you-dont-have-fun-playing-well-give-you-a-re/">Aeria Games: "If you don't have fun playing, we'll give you a refund"</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 07 Apr 2009 20:00:00 EST.

<p>How would one make an expansion to a game called <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/last-chaos">Last Chaos</a></em>? Second-to-Last Chaos? We-lied-there's-more-Chaos? What would you do? Seems like pigeonholing to me. The title of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/aeria-games">Aeria Games'</a> <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/free-to-play/">free-to-play</a> MMO, <em><a href="http://lastchaos.aeriagames.com/">Last Chaos</a></em>, might seem a bit misleading. There is plenty of the usual fare running around: knights, mages, rogues and ... purple horses? While it may not be chaotic, <em>Last Chaos</em> is certainly a little different and by different, I mean in the way that your distant cousin is a little "different". You know the one. </p>
<p><em>Last Chaos</em> may not be grabbing any big headlines lately but that doesn't mean there isn't a game here. The people at Aeria Games know what they're doing. <a href="http://www.aeriagames.com/games">They've certainly done it enough</a> and while <em>Last Chaos</em> might not sweep you off your feet, the game is worth taking for a spin. Especially if you've ever said to yourself "I'd really prefer to run through this dungeon in a leather miniskirt and some fishnet stockings." If that's the case, <em>Last Chaos</em> is for you.</p>
<p>Let's enter the last chaos you'll ever enter ... again.</p>
