Those of you in irc probably suspected this was coming.

I have been ranting about how much I am looking forward to this game for a long time now.

Its pretty!



Yes, its Korean, yes, it looks like a wow clone (what mmo isn't? wow is pretty damn generic.)

The "hook" is the flying system. At level 9 you get a quest to "ascend" to Daeva status, which grants you flight.

The hard-to-explain combo based combat system is loads of fun and pretty hard to master.

I'll be playing this when it comes out :D

I'm going to plan on grabbing that beta. Tell me on IRC if you want to quest it up! On the off chance I can acquire a beta this weekend, otherwise be ready to quest it up, you'll have a few months to prepare for my awesomeness.
Is it grindy? It seems decent, but 90% of all mmo's now adays are "Do 1 quest, grind to get 20 levels higher, do 2 more, get to level 100" etc

I've only played to lvl 15 solo, took me about a week on and off playing, reports from others say max level (50) should take 1-2 months depending on how often you play, which doesn't seem to bad to me, your mileage may vary.

I should probably also point out the quest you get at level 9's reward is promotion to level 10, regardless of the amount of exp you need ;].

Pirate: I don't think I'll be playing the beta, since its a gamestop pre-order bonus only iirc, and I was planning on buying via steam.

Might change my mind, though.
