    VALOFE is a global games publisher and runs games like C9 Global, and Atlantica Global.

    Damn, I remember in early days when C9 was out and asia-locked, so the only way to play it outside was making an account with actual asian citizen personal data, phone number etc. Everything through a japanese/chinese website (back then translating websites wasn't so smooth or wasn't a thing at all), and maybe one or two western mmo websites were commited enough to make a translated guide of how to do it all. It looked so damn amazing back then.

    I've heard that the interpretation of Valofe is "MMORPG Cemetery" I looked at their website and it at the very least does look like an MMORPG long term care or "Skilled Nursing Facility"....

    Keeping relatively unpopular games online and available to play for the relatively few people who enjoy them is a totally legitimate service.

    Not saying that it isn't, just seems like life support, and where MMO's go to die :)

    Bless seems like this annoying rash that doesn't want to go away for good.

    VALOFE is a South Korean company that mainly picks up Korean developed online games other companies don't want anymore, they're ok, but nothing amazing. Different games I've rather liked have ended up being picked up by them, they're getting to be like the Steam of old Korean developed online games.

    If a game is soloable, then it's not dead until they pull the plug.

    This is a completely different game from Bless' first launch. I actually had quite a bit of fun in this game, enjoyed the large over world bosses and really liked the combat. I didn't like how it was story based as that made it a bit trying (at least for me) for other types of characters.


    Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."

    Try the "Special Edition." 'Cause it's "Special." https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/64878/?tab=description

    anything is better than closing imo , at least for players we can always get to play , once a game is closed GL until p.servers come out (if lucky)

    Enjoy your dead game if Valofe touches it. No english customer support. Atlantica is full p2w. They will ruin Bless even further with the cash shop. Valove it's even worse than gamigo( the graveyard of mmos). Valove it's the hell of mmos.

    I did not play Bless Unleashed for long time but I think that is not a bad game, have few good options in it. I wish the best to the new publisher. I really liked C9 and played for 2 years.

    It is just an incremental version of bless online . They used same assets and trim down content in ue4 engine

    Re-release #?

    Why not re-use assets and make a different game?

    How many times does one have to bang themselves over the head?

    Or are these ventures profitable almost every time?

    It's not that expensive to keep a game running after development is done.  It's a lot more expensive to put in the development work to make a new game, even if it heavily reuses old assets.

    So were now on round 3 of "Let's milk what we can from bless" or is this round 4, since it's a new company running it?

    it's the re-re-re-re-release of Bless! This time it's titled Bless: How much more can we squeeze out of this dumpsterfire ptIV.

    Now the parent company will make a game almost identical to Bless and call it Curse: For those that still want to be punished!
