SUN to be published in NA?

I don't see a forum for this game, so I'm posting in the pub.  Does anyone know anything about this, or has anyone participated in the testing in other regions?

I've seen a lot of people here complain about what they perceive to be "slow" combat in games like LoTRO, so I'm wondering how combat which is purportedly more along the lines of Dynasty Warriors would appeal to them.  Here's a quote from the Massively article about it:

"SUN features a quicker style of gameplay, more akin to a game like Dynasty Warriors than your standard MMO. To perform this feat, the game breaks the world map up into zones created by players in towns, very much like creating your own match in a first-person shooter. Players create these fields in order to hunt down monsters, solve missions, or complete quests.

Players can also take objectives to assault areas in a siege-esque manner, where many players create rooms to assault one objective. In these cases, successful and unsuccessful sieges affect how the other in-progress games play out, altering the difficulty of the battle to show the turning tide of one side winning or losing. The game does feature persistent cities where players can mingle, much like it's first-person shooter brother, Huxley."

Soul Of The Ultimate Nation aka SUN was a game that I followed for years. It was supposed to be released by Webzen about 3 years ago but never made it. I actually found a guide that told how to play the chinesse version which I did. It would be great if it was finally released here.

We had a forum for this game here but, it got deleted for some reason. Anyway, it looks like there is also a global version for the game that is going to be hosted by WEBZEN, over at their new global web portal here www.webzen.com it says on the picture coming soon.
