Right now, there's only the trailer, but it sure is a great development so early on!

It's rare that an English site is open before the Beta of a Korean game...high hopes for Blade&Soul EN!

 

 

The Search for the True Ragnarok 2

 

It seems like many moons ago I was jumping up and down for the release of Ragnarok 2. The Dimago race, the Ellr race, 3D PRONTERA, ACTUALLY CLOTHES.... it all seems like a dream that was coming to life...

Sadly, it's still a dream. Ragnarok Online 2 is in the deepest darkest pits of development hell. Don't know what development hell is? It's like writer's block for developers. It's a hole that can sometime take years to get out of. Check the MMOsite Ragnarok 2 page (www.mmosite.com/ro2/). Last BETA update was when? Ragnarok Online has to have the longest beta in existence...besides that of Concerto Gate, which is also in development hel- oh wait, it actually closed. I wouldn't have expected that. But I do see Ragnarok Online 2 doing this in the future if it doesn't get back on track! So, what's happening in the time being? Other MMOs are trying to usurp the position of Ragnarok 2! Let's see who these contenders are~

I'm sure most of us have just recently seen the 6 minute trailer for NCSoft's new MMO, Blade & Soul. Now until I saw this, I thought Aion was going to be the most amazing game ever. Well, I'm a Blade & Soul fangirl now. I've also discovered that the trailer isn't just a waste of six minutes now...it may actually show future races and ways of character interaction. Now, I might be going on a long shot here, but bear with me. It's better than waiting months for more info!

Races

Yes, I'm pretty sure there will be races. Three in fact. Now...I must have proof, am I right? So here we go, photo proof!

First Race Jin: Didn't notice the race name before? Catch it at 1:44. From the previous clips and teasers before, the Jun race is the sword wielding race...or swords wielding. The Jin race is the race that most resembles that of a human. They don't seem to be the hard hitting race more than they are the fast combo race. Before this final image, there were five shots at other characters of this race. I'm guessing those are probably different classes. Or they could just be different outfits.

Second Race Gon: Go brawlers! The Gon race is one that seems to use fists and only fist
