too little too late, it'll die when Black Desert drops.

Stranger part: NCSoft is once again claiming its having a rough time, with the Project HON team scandal and the eventual cancellation of the high profile development. Figured they'd just cut their losses when Wild Star eventually bottoms out and focus all assets on Lineage Eternal, which needs to come out before Lost Ark, or at least around the same time because right now it definitely doesn't look like the better game.

I was watching this game until ESO went buy-to-play. It's too late to release it in the west to have it succeed in my opinion. A lot of people probably lost interest in it or moved on to other games already. It'll be hard to rip me from ESO anyways; so far (at least several months of game time) I found the community to be stellar compared to most online games in ESO and I'm having a blast.

(I know ESO has its issues but I find the fact I don't get yelled at and get death threats for every mistake makes it much more enjoyable than a better game with a worse community)

I don't really care if it's late or not, as long as it's fun to play. There's hardly anything to challenge it theme-wise. I hope they do as Guild Wars 2 and don't make it subscription-based, and let me play with American players from my place in Europe. I know, that's a lot of wishful thinking, but one can dream, right?

You can play on different servers but the problem is that this game is live action so its ping sensitive

The problem is that there's no solid asian themed mmo here. There's just a thousand western fantasy and maybe a few futuristic theme mmos like Eve. B&S is AAA production on top of that so there will be a group that will play this because there's nothing else on the western market to play.

On top of that there's no trinity system, its dps/tank and a combination of dps/support and its live action so the game is ping sensitive.
