I'd rather play Revelation Online, Blade and Soul, FFXIV, or Archeage after the new update. I don't really see Bless doing well amidst all the competition.
Now Playing: Bless / Summoners War Looking forward to: Crowfall / Lost Ark / Black Desert Mobile
Move on guys! Even Tetris 2017 Delux Edition would have looked more promising then Aeria's Bless Online !
Reporter: What's behind Blizzard success, and how do you make your gamers happy? Blizzard Boss: Making gamers happy is not my concern, making money.. yes!
250$ founder packs inc! Kind of sad since this game seemed nice (plus body tattoos! More games need to do this in their character customization and stop being lazy only having face markings)
If they can not bother to reply/comment to a mmo news site spreading rumor's about them.... good luck to any customers needing any customer service.
This just reminds me of why ive never touched a Aeria game since
2008'ish and their customer support giving me about 6 different reasons
for banning me after i kept calling their BS and eventually just gave up
trying and they have never seen any money from me since.
Shame, i was hoping this game would go to another publisher...
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.
How would Bless-Source know ? They are just a fan site, and are just as in the dark as anyone else. Aeria does post there from time to time, only because they have no official website/forum at the moment.
With the merger between Gamigo/Aeria, the recent staff changes, the lack of information, and a total media blackout, it sure raises the eyebrows, as to what is going on over there.

At this point it's just either we take it or we don't. I'm sure that Suzie will updated the news when she has more reliable sources than this.
When you don't want the truth, you will make up your own truth.
I always like to give companies a chance to redeem themselves. Aeria has at least made attempts to move away from obvious cash-grab stores in their newer games. Bless could be typical, but I plan to follow info from players and watch the cash shop from launch. If it's stable, then I'll totally jump in to try.
Need less cynicism these days. Gotta have a good time and shrug off the dumb stuff. Makes life much more enjoyable.
Personally i think it sounds like good news, if the combat system is just about finished then it could make all the difference in the world, and if it fixes the earlier issues with the game then i am probably going to be in the game when it launches for NA/EU.
The problem is who is even out there as a decent publisher to hire? Nexon is garbage, Trion is worse. NcSoft has a pretty bad track record with games they didn't create themselves. I don't even know who I would want as a publisher for any game right now sadly. All of the usual suspects just keep proving how terrible they are year after year. 3rd party publishing just doesn't seem to work out when it's going from east to west.
The only decent publisher for MMOs is En Masse and they have zero interest in more MMOs besides TERA. Perfect World is probably far far far second. Anything else as far as North America goes, is pretty anti-consumer.
The biggest problem with the game was its combat, i seem to remember it being delayed due to Aeria trying to tweak the combat, perhaps they were unable to 'fix' it and they have now abandoned it?
Will you PLEASE read the piece? You quite clearly have not..

Knocking this one back off my radar.

Aeria + mmorpg + open pvp game + cash shop =
