Blizzard, NCSoft talent set up MMO developer En Masse Entertainment

Leaving Blizzard to work on an MMO?





LET'S DO IT!

Oh look, Lord of the Rings Online and Final Fantasy XIV had a baby.

Somehow I'm attracted to the name 'Bluehole Studio'.

Man...Korea gets all the good mmos.

First Dragon Ball, then Monster Hunter. This one looks pretty good too.

We can only hope our Korean overlords grace us with these titles.

Sorry for being off-topic, but.......

What happened to the DSI XL impressions article?

I was reading it and refreshed and now, it's gone! :o

looks good.. some nice art direction in that single screenshot. Curious about the world, assuming it ever sees the light of day outside of Korea, it may be worth checking out.

I was reading an interview with one of the localization guys on RPS, and he was unable to give a single solid answer as to how they're going to make the game more compelling for western audiences. Lots of fluff and PR-speak, but nothing like "we're going to reduce the XP grind" or "dungeon raids generally won't take more than 6 hours of your life away". When he's asked what they intend to tweak for western audiences to make it more appealing than previous Korean MMO offerings, his response can be boiled down to "we're going to translate the story from squiggly shapes into English".

It's the same spew MMO mouthpieces have been using for years: more immersive, player-driven, impact on the world, change the story by your actions... fairy dust and unicorns farting rainbows. Not that I would mind if they brought over a Korean MMO that wasn't masochistic to play, but this particular guy either has no clue or he's holding the cards pretty tight to his chest.

The giant race looks strikingly similar to the Galka from FFXI.

WORLD OF GUNBOUND!!!!
