I was debating getting a founder's pack, I think the beta is/has been active now, how is everybody liking it?

Some people may not like that. I've been too busy trying out different classes so have not gotten far enough to see whether one could just go off the beaten pass and leave the story behind if they wanted.
Oh, and some of the music is very beautiful.

The combat is amazing and has great depth, but normal mobs get repetitive fast.
For me the combat is enough to make sure that I will play this as soon as it comes out.
It really is awesome, and makes you feel badass.
That said, buy Founder to support the devs, but not for beta access. Its only a few weekends before the end of the year. This game has been out for a while overseas so they are mainly testing server/network issues and finalizing the localization process.

Koreans also play titles from home.
I have been using Game Note as a metric to measure the popularity of Korean mmos for a long time. Its the most accurate data available.
If you posted this:
http://steamcharts.com/
As a list of how popular mmo titles are in the west you would be laughed at, the chart you posted is no better.
If you want to use that kind of data at least state what it is.
There is no way to tell how an mmo is doing to put it in a list like that because the companies don't give the data out, the pc bang games listings are also skewed because the publishers pay to have their games listed among other things. It's just not a good indicator or accurate for mmorpg game listsings.
I didn't enjoy B&S. I thought the combat was "neat", but not as good as TERA. The lack of collision with that sort of combat system felt very awkward. I also felt wayyyy too OP. I didn't enjoy how fast mobs died. You get so many skills that you never really learn to use because of how fast mobs die. The only time I actually had decent battles was after I put my level 1 trainer weapon back on. I don't mind losing $25, but I'm very glad I didn't spend $125.
Lots of people are enjoying it though, I think there are more keys floating around now so it shouldn't be hard to get in and try for yourself.
The vast majority of PC bang gaming is on mobas, not mmorpg titles.
You can't list bang cafe numbers and show a list as if its accurate because it's not.

Again the numbers are not accurate at all.
Not only is it just pc internet cafe games but it's only specific ones.

Ikcin, you again referencing gamenote.com as the end-all-be-all ranking system for games in Korea. Since we last talked I have figured out how gamenote.com works (which I mentioned earlier in this thread if you actually read it).
Gamenote.com has deals with SOME PC Bang's in Korea (internet cafe's) and the game "rankings" are based on the games being played in PARTICIPATING PC Bangs.. read: NOT ALL. This is no way represents the OVERALL trend of the game in the country. Especially considering BDO's high-end graphics requirements, time dedication, etc. I have also found multiple sources that show that PC Bang "rankings" are misleading at the very least and except in the case of games like LoL, SC2, etc. are completely wrong. But please, feel free to tell me how I am wrong.
"If you want to keep pushing this list as if it somehow offers data that is impossible to get then fine but it's not, it's just showing what games are played in gaming cafes and there are numerous reasons why that data is flawed.
You know I'm right on what I just said so outside of "well you have nothing better" I'm not sure why you are arguing.

hongmon weapon is that like a living weapon? Living weapon is one that essentially gains xp and new stats/abilities over time.

but..
These charts aren't official numbers from gaming companies, because the companies running these games DO NOT give this information out.
PC bang charts like this are only showing what people play in internet cafes and only in certain ones that are probably cherry picked to keep advertisers like NCsoft happy.
What people will play in an internet cafe is not the same as what they will play at home (more shallow pvp action combat titles do better than pve titles there).
They give no solid information how they get their data at all and have to answer to nobody on accuracy, ever.
The charts can be easily fluffed by companies like NCsoft paying money to the privately owned pcbangs for more favourable spots, special deals like cheaper/free hourly rates at peak playing time or free drinks when playing specific titles etc.
The different companies that chart what is played offer wildy different listings and placements.
The data is collected from participating pc bangs only and they are almost all small privately owned cafes, and not some big chain that would possibly be more accountable. They could be building these charts from 2 pc bangs or it could be 100 pc bangs. Nobody knows and none of them are accountable for offering misleading/wrong numbers.
All these Korean charts are no better or worse than Xfire.
The only reason anyone gives them any credence is because they can't read Korean and don't know what they actually are, many of the people who lord these charts as accurate are the first to laugh if you post Xfire numbers yet these are no better at all and you can't prove otherwise.
Unless of course you think that these chart websites are not influenced by mega companies like NCsoft advertising and neither are the privately owned PC bangs? None of these people like money yo, they are too honest to do anything like that and Ncsoft would never offer them money either. That never happens.
Do I have better charts? No, does that in some way validate them as in any way accurate? No, so stop misleading people into thinking they are some kind of accurate chart of Korean gaming when no such chart exists anywhere in the world, east or west.
the game does seem to gradually make you feel more badass as you lvl. gaining water walk, wind walk ect. but then introducing you to combos is quite neat. the grafics are nice, but there are some places where my framerate drops. Not sure if its my computer or the hardware used to host the game. I do not remember that type of lag back when the game was in its real beta stage 3 years ago.
but overall, happy. games not perfect and wont suit everyones tastes. I am loving it because my friends are also giving it a shot and we have fun playing together.
