Shaiya, Guild Wars most anticipated in China

Those are some surprisingly real looking bodies in that picture... >_>

Yeah, I'm with the pic. ORPG's are by their very nature dull and boring and, well, stupid. But that picture is at least worth looking at. Content? I got nothin.

Yes please! :o

Mmmm...

Oh wait, there's an article?

Quality hoochin'.

For anyone else that is sick enough to like those images, here's the url for the wallpaper download:

The picture reminds me of the politically-incorrect Corean expression, "Riding the white horse."

What does the actual gameplay look like?

Too bad the actual game looks NOTHING like the CG. Anyone look at those in-game screenshots? ew!

Ah, nevermind my question in post 7. Looks bad.

Some higher-res wallpapers:

So, no one cares about the new Aion renders, eh?

Wowee Wowee, I like. How much?

Bellevue, Washington is in Korea? That's news to me. Guild Wars is not a Korean game, just the publisher.

Yay, another terrible Asian MMO! By the usual MMO gender standards, they're both wearing heavy armor.

/me points at lap
put here.

@Ikthog, it's heavy armor because it creates a magical aura of defense. ;)

Awesome wallpapers, I love the one with the black-haired woman has her arms stretched out and she's surrounded by darkness.

Since the article doesnt tell much about the game, here is a list things of note:

1. It took developer (SONOKONG) 3 years to develope, spending a budget of 7 billion KRW or 7.5 million USD.

2. Music produced by George Oldziey (Uderworld, kill bill) from the warner bro studio. 80 people orchestra(symphony?) and 40 people band were employed.

3. During closed beta phase, the game was the top search term on Naver or whatever, which apprantly is Korea's largest search engine. (think google)

4. Received both critical and fan acclaim. "an Artwork in MMO" claimed one critic.

as for key features:

There're side quest systems, 12 playable classes, 2 factions, support thousand of players PvP etc etc... blah blah...

Not a fan of the ladies, are we Trebe...I mean kinshadow
