You guys remember a time when the US was not a third world country?
I remember when game devs the world over designed for the US as the primary market, now we wait 2,3, even 5 years for a game to port to a US market.
Sad that these game studios have realized 3 billion chinamen all paying 10 cents for the sword of ultimate power, is more money that they get charging americans $20 for a healing potion.
What those developers realised is that the 3 billion chinamen will happily spend 10 cents each on the sword of ultimate power.
The americans, on the other hand, will whine endlessly about P2W and cash-grab and bait-and-switch. Those same americans will then quietly spend 100's of dollars buying gold from goldsellers ("it's really cheap, bro") so that they can wtfpwn everybody else ingame, all whilst complaining endlessly about the bots in the game and the appalling lack of customer service in that F2P game...

I'm kinda surprised China hasn't spread more laws to stop these games yet. They're like, friggin' Opium over there and I'm completely serious and NOT exaggerating.

Thanks for the link...is this up to date with the latest version of the official game or it's just the base game?

So is this a private server or what? I'm looking at the site and curious how healthy the english speaking player base is. I've been wanting to play this game for some time now but the whole chinese/korean SS numbers required always put me off from it. Is the game free to play and how is endgame? Granted this international server seems like a really cool way of playing and I'm more comfortable with playing on euro servers mainly because the ping isn't quite as bad as connecting to the east coast. Is ping a problem for american players?
pretty sure I played this on a private server in 2013 or earlier. Might have been the closed beta client... but geeze they are taking their time with this one. Hype was in several years ago. Now it's gone.

I see, the website did seem very much like a private server page, but I assumed this wasn't the case since I thought you weren't allowed to post this kind of stuff. While I rather play on an official server, I rather not deal with 200+ ping because games are just unplayable at that kind of ping.

Originally posted by Nanfoodle Im kinda getting sick of action based MMOs. I maybe stuck playing retro MMOs for life. =-
Kinda thought that was the case for me too, going back to Tab Target MMOS was hard after I played TERA. When actually doing so I didn't really find that it was an issue. Getting tired of the Korean MMOS since Aion and MMOS in general for the past decade, but BnS was always on my list of games to try since I loved the original Magna Carta game and style. I hear its quite grindy but playing original Lineage 2 I find the game can't be that bad. I will let you guys know how the game is, from what I've gathered so far its a private server based on a somewhat recent client that is mostly translated. Level cap is still 45 and there are a few bugs but the Ping in the US has been reported between 60-90 so very playable. Overall I find action MMOS very enjoyable much like I did enjoy TERA, but it also suffered from lack of content up until recently.
