Note that the clothes you buy from the fashion shop are permanent and will never expire. Astros were not introduced during closed-beta testing but were tested in open-beta (and is now added in the game).

Astros must be purchased through OGPlanet, similar to buying NX Cash for Nexon products. Astros are the currency used to purchase fashion-shop items. Ely is gained through killing monsters, selling items, and completing quests. Ely is the normal in-game currency, used to buy equipment and other usable items. There are two types of currency in the North American version of La Tale: Ely and Astros. The keyboard is used to hotkey character actions while the mouse is primarily used to speak to Non-player characters (NPCs), purchase items, and manipulate the items (via Enchants, Upgrades, etc.).

The game has a 2D side-scrolling setting similar to MapleStory and Ghost Online. Players control a single character that combats monsters, obtains and completes quests, and participates in other activities. Gameplay of La Tale is based on most MMORPGs.
