NHN corp, the Korean publishing company for ArchLord, announced in a press release today that they have made a license agreement with Rod Cousens, the CEO of Codemasters Software Company Liimited to cover the regions of Europe, the United States, Canada, Mexico, etc. Beta service is expected by June of 2006 and release is expected sometime mid-2006. [Then they go on about Codemasters about Colin McRae Rally, TOCA Race Driver, RFOnline, and DDO.]

EDIT: P.S. the "preview" option is a bit broken... it doesn't like the slashes in the URL.

    It seems finally a company has releaised the demand for real games in Europe/US !st RF then ArchLord, Tis a good time coming, Finally get to play a game with good PvP and not about raiding the same boss everynight for equip for months. Finally some good classic korean game for us.

    Indeed this is very good news. It'd be nice if Codemasters snatched up alot more foreign MMO's. I enjoyed playing the Korean version of ArchLord. So an english version is very much welcomed.

    In War - Victory.
    In Peace - Vigilance.
    In Death - Sacrifice.

    It's actually starting to become a trend for these people. Not only did they get this, but also the rights to RF Online, so who knows what we'll see in the coming year.

    Judging from the screen shots Archlord looks like every other generic Korean mmo, right down to the same old UI that shows up in seemingly every Korean game.

    Is there anything to the game? Any exceptional features? Is it just like L2?

    I wasn't overly impressed with the game. The art style, leveling, UI and gameplay were pretty standard. Nothing in the way of 'cool gimmicks' really stood out. At least with RF you get the nice art style, funky races and such.

    I'm looking forward to RF Online, ArchLord, I will pass on.

    That was a good news for gamer. This game have a lot of tools and contents, diferrentiate from Lineage2 or other game. I have a chance to test ARCHLORD for 10 days last year. I feel develop team try to make this game to support all kind of gamer like RF onlline. This game have good character design, Great town, many race of monster, good quests, good economoc system control, etc. But I like Rf online more than this game (Because RF online easy to register for test more than Archlord that make me have 1 month for test RF online but I have 10 day for test ARCHLORD.)

    Remark. 

    1. I hope some day I have a chance to test all of english version Online game. I want to tell every developer " Please, Don't block register member section for USA, North America, Japan and Korea resident only. I'm a one gamer who want to know your game and I'm a good tester, never loot, never hack, never jam. Open for every tester who want to join your game."

    2. If game company in USA or EU want to expand business to South East Asia come to make marketing resersh in Thailand and China first. I will waiting for you in Bangkok.

    Does any one have a screen shot of this game? ( just wondering what it looks like )image

    I hope this is not like RF Online where it is faction-based PvP. Hope Archlord is open PvP because it looks and sounds really interesting.
