To the best of my knowledge its the next version of a3 that Actoz made. It has a whole lot of changes in the interface and even some new features, some new maps and games too. It was an advanced development and could not be incorporated via a new client version, its like a complete overhaul to the game.
But i also believe that it has database backwards compatibility i.e. an a3 returns server can use and old a3 server's database of players and attributes, though some filtering and proofing would be required (not wholly certain of this though).
Perhaps the GMs working on the a3Returns server could throw more light.
@Ritual. as of my knowledge a3 has episode7 and i guess original korean server has epi7. i am not able to translate the whole website to english to know more.
i too saw it in the korean site there was some talk about episode 7. but when i saw the project A3 in actoz homepage they have given that epi 6 was the last and there are no further developments
Actually Actoz had made only episode 5. They Worked On Epi 6 and 7. The map files and monster database of these episodes were leaked. So The Finally Episode Is 5 And We Have Maps Till Epi 6 and 7. Well a3 project was closed by actoz a long time ago. Due To A3's Popularity They Made A New Form Of A3 Named A3 Reutrns With A Modification In Game Interface As Well As Looks, making it more interesting. Currently Only One A3 Returns Server Is Running that Is Its Official Korean Server. It Would Be Rocking If A3 Returns Server Would Be Made Working By Mania GMs.
in a3 return only animation and interface changes or intro of new skils also done thr like episode 5 server ? ? ? ?i dont thnk thr wil b new skils bt thn to is thr . . . . . ?

I never back down from any challange put in front of me
as far as i know there is nothing as such epi 6 or 7 if u have heard or saw those maps they are special quest maps meant for sq 3 series ,sq 4 series nd sq 5 series which were put as map files
the shrine map in sky garden is a sq map : P
so is gp (though not so sure )
nd apart from new interfaces if there are new skill no idea (but i think there will be none)
and i dont think there are only interface changes in returns tere will be much more but how much can be cracked nd implemented i.e the question

A3 Returns is still in Beta Phase. So there are changes made to the game every week or so. We will have to wait for the game to go into Closed Beta and then start our development.
