Same deal as TERA it is pay to play. Still waiting on confirmation if there is going to be a cash shop but so far nope. Can't wait for America to get Blade and Soul but I'll hold off on the Korea version for now.

Have they even given a NA release date yet?

I expect NA release will be in no less than 7 months

Then that's at least 7 months of TERA enjoyment, if not more!

I always planned to check out B&S. Knew of it before I heard of TERA, but I won't play it on the korean servers.

I won't be playing it. It doesn't have enough content as it stands at the moment, plus the combat system is not action like TERA. All the abilities are hitscan with just an enhanced tab target.

After Aion, I imagine NCSoft might be looking to just F2P everything that comes to the states. Aion is PACKED with people. I can't not trip over people playing right now. I'm sure Guild Wars 2 will only cement their place in America as an F2P publisher.

most of them aren't hitscan, I'd wager Tera has as many lock on hitscan as gw2 proportionally if not more..

Anyone thinking B&S will be awesome are just fooling themselves I'm sure it will be fun, but with people's expectations these days is hard for any mmo to make it throught.

All I expect is nice animations/graphics and the ability to grapple with the target (which last I knew was going to be possible with B&S), outside of those two conditions, I had no expectations.

Mind you, I'm one of those who realize there's not much difference one can do for MMO missions, like many others clamor for.

ncsoft, i am not expecting a very good north american version.
