I think they should just try to setup a North American/European subsidiary and release it themselves instead of outsourcing for a Publisher.
The pickings for strong Western publishing companies are really slim now and if they want to aim for a high turnaround, they should really put in the investment and not continue to play it cheap.
Honestly maybe it shouldn't come over, i think at this point it's becoming clearer that Korean MMO's created for a Korean market just don't have a very good shelf-life in the West like they used to.

Oh Please God NOOOOOOOO. Why would you put that into the atmosphere blue?
Nexon has been treating Riders of Icarus pretty fairly, so maybe...
But is there any one publisher out there that everyone likes?
I can't think of one.
Is there ANYTHING out there that everyone likes?

Should google people who hate sex - it's a lot more common than you realize
So, do you hate sex?

RUMOR: Aeria / Gamigo Out As NA Publishers? - Bless - MMORPG.com
Bless News - Players have been clamoring for news about the arrival of Bless in North America. Originally slated to be published by Aeria Games, then later Gamigo after the two merged, there has not been an update since September and the Aeria teaser site is down. From what we can determine, it appears that Aeria / Gamigo is out as the NA publisher. Repeated attempts to contact representatives of both companies remain unanswered.
I hope so bcause the game needs a better publisher like Trion or KoaKoa games or enMasse
For sure the game needs a new company to itself that can make the right decisions and make the game great, I am sick of companies like "Enmasse" "Trion Worlds" "Day Break Games" "Nexon" "Aeria Games" Always making mistakes and screwing up great games );. Oh I forgot perfect world, Funcom, and that other one Snail Games all awful...
I have played games from each of these companies I know what they are like.

No offense here, but how old are you?
non of your biznit. it was a sarcastic answer that would be taken serious by anyone who has no sense of humor.
Well, you can argue I and the others have no sense of humor and that's fine by me.
But your "sarcasm" is not a good one when you have to explained it.
Anyway, for folks who wanna follow Bless news, better go to bless-source and follow it closely, cause no other better source in english than it is at the moment.

Ah come on it was a little funny. Also there is the old business rule "Sex Sells" that's why all the cheap Asian games have female char models of.. uhm... let's call it... unrealistic proportions and underprotective gear.
Attempted to install Russian version: required disk space - 40Gb. Changed my mind: from my experience big installation = bad development team = boring game.
Big installations typically mean that you are downloading something that isn't compressed. A larger download size and around the same install size (or that might auto install with the downloader if like steam) vs having something at say 15 gb download but 40 gb install. It isn't necessarily a bad thing to do, but does lead to bigger download sizes.
Two of the worst publishers out there,so it can only be a good thing.Aeria pushes cashshop like no other and i am quite certain that Gamigo is tied in with RMT agencies going back to my research when playing L2.
However interesting is that Aeria is still listed as the publisher because they just sent out a survey to help them better the game for Eu and NA players.
As to any publisher some may like?? First of all,we don't have to LIKE a publisher,but they darn well better make sure they don't piss off consumers to the point we hate them.Think of it this way...They never made the game,so how could they possibly,properly handle running it ,other than to offer the servers?These contracts are usually very shotty,support is always terrible,we always feel like the Publisher really couldn't care less,questions never get answered,the community is always totally ignored. So in reality,a publisher is just there to offer some financial aid to launching a game,then they begin to leech it's profits.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Awesome! Yet another generic grinder with a p2w shop and "open-world" PvP, and with no safe zones! Sweeeeet! I can't wait to buy myself a $400 "founder's pack" so I can gank low-level players while they are trying to turn in quests and call myself a "leet PvPer!"

UPDATE: After our repeated attempts to reach Aeria Games about whether or not the company is still on board for publishing Bless Online, the Bless-Source Facebook page has been updated with what purports to be a developer statement. It is a brief note to let players know that they are still on board as the North American publisher. We will continue to reach out in the hopes of more direct and official confirmation.
There are some rumors that Aeria is no longer the Publisher of Bless in North America and Europe. It's not true. The new combat system is almost done so you can expect some dates early 2017.

That doesn't make any sense. Apparently the game has a huge world, lots of assets.
Elder Scrolls Online is a huge game as well as Black Desert. I wouldn't be Surprised if Star Wars the Old Republic is also just as large.

Well in my opinion Aeria is not a good choice for Bless publisher due to poor game latency when in comes to game experience and I guess some of you will agree with me on this one. Second reason is cash shop of Aeria is not doing well.

Ah well, put the corks back in the champagne bottles, boys...
Unless you like really "strong" Cash Shops, in which case get the party started !
Haha I bet the work they are doing on combat is various nerfs to it so they can sell more combat potions and stuff like that so we can get back to regular pre aeria nerf strength!

Yep they are all over 40gb. The OP still thinks it's 2001.
I Am so Happy! I will buy the $300 pay to win starter pack so I can win. The reputation of these companies are great!!!
Don't give them ideas or they might actually put those things into the cash shop O.o
Might?!? If you know anything about Aeria Games, you'd know that it's a given that there'd be stuff like that. Then later they'll have those things where if you spend $1000+ US over the course of a month, you'd get some super special GM service, like them maxing out the enhancement on an item of your choice.
