Like any MMO, there is combat, because…well…you have to stop someone from achieving their life goals of total world domination to some degree. So in a dying world of party friendly games, they are catering to both the social and reclusive. The hope of the developers behind Astellia was that they wanted to give the player the freedom to solo things as their class of choice or party up with other people if they so choose. The Astels themselves range from Tank, DPS, and Healer, the holy trinity of MMOs. The more you have summoned the quicker they will disperse and leave you with your base choice Astel, so choose wisely. Just keep in mind it does deplete your energy that keeps the Astels in the world with you much more quickly when you have multiple of them summoned. The purpose of these creatures is almost like a card based game, when you’re in need of a certain set of skills, you call them forth, and you can call forth multiple ones at a given point in time. Depending on what class you play you’ll get a different line-up of Astels. Some of them are adorable, straight up sexy, and some are funny looking. So bringing the topic back around to Astels, because I really wanted to go a little deeper on these little helpers, or well, some of them are little. Although if you’re super anxious to get in, you can purchase their Legendary Edition and garner yourself access to the closed beta! We’ll also be giving away more keys come closed beta 2, so stay tuned to our website and Twitter’s for future events. We actually saw a lot of you winners in game and really enjoyed saying hi to you all. We were fortunate enough to be able to share 100 of those keys with you guys. Being the incredibly generous people we are we went ahead and requested some keys for our viewers. The team behind Astellia were kind enough to send us 2 closed beta keys to try out the game first-hand. We at MMOByte have played through the previous Korean version of the game, but had no clue what was being said at any point in time during the game, so we ourselves were looking forward to this! It was formally released in 2016 in China and is finally making its way here, something many of us have been looking forward to. In this appendix, we present some data on the chemical elements.Astellia is a beautiful upcoming MMORPG scheduled to release in the West this year. The periodic table, introduced in Chapter 3 “Atoms, Molecules, and Ions,” lists all the known chemical elements, arranged by atomic number (that is, the number of protons in the nucleus). The periodic table is arguably the best tool in all of science no other branch of science can summarize its fundamental constituents in such a concise and useful way. Many of the physical and chemical properties of the elements are either known or understood based on their positions on the periodic table. Periodic tables are available with a variety of chemical and physical properties listed in each element’s box.


What follows here is a more complex version of the periodic table than what was presented in the chapter “Atoms, Molecules, and Ions.” The internet is a great place to find periodic tables that contain additional information. One item on most periodic tables is the atomic mass of each element.

For many applications, only one or two decimal places are necessary for the atomic mass. However, some applications (especially nuclear chemistry see Chapter 15 “Nuclear Chemistry”) require more decimal places. The atomic masses in Table A.1 “The Basics of the Elements of the Periodic Table” represent the number of decimal places recognized by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, the worldwide body that develops standards for chemistry. The atomic masses of some elements are known very precisely, to a large number of decimal places. The atomic masses of other elements, especially radioactive elements, are not known as precisely. Some elements, such as lithium, can have varying atomic masses depending on how their isotopes are isolated. The web offers many interactive periodic table resources. Table A.1 The Basics of the Elements of the Periodic Table Name For example, see PTable and the Accessible Syngenta Periodic Table of Elements. However, three such elements (Th, Pa, and U) have a characteristic terrestrial isotopic composition, and for these an atomic mass is tabulated. †Commercially available Li materials have atomic weights that range between 6.939 and 6.996 if a more accurate value is required, it must be determined for the specific material. G Geological specimens are known in which the element has an isotopic composition outside the limits for normal material. The difference between the atomic mass of the element in such specimens and that given in the table may exceed the stated uncertainty.
