A Fierce MMORPG Fight to Break out in South Korea in Q2, 2011

NCsoft's new MMORPG blockbuster Blade & Soul launched its first CBT on April 27, and made

quite a stir. Crowds of players regretted not being able to join the test, and Blade & Soul

immediately became the focus of various great video sites in South Korea. Some online games

confront this blockbuster bravely, and a certain number of new & old online games seem to

compete with it intentionally.

Aion
Aion, which used to be the most popular online game in net cafés, is just one of the online

games that hamper Blade & Soul and TERA. On May 3, the game was updated to Patch 2.6 where

an auto group matching system, a solo instance called "Crucible 2" and some class-oriented

item chests were introduced. With the help of facilitated gameplay and improved UI, players

can obtain related info in the game more easily and promptly.

WoW
Blizzard's famous blockbuster WoW also has a big plan. WoW is set to bring its Patch 4.1

online in South Korea on May 28, in company with new content. It'll also announce the

updated content of Patch 4.2 in the near future, which does catch South Korean players'

eyes. Through Patch 4.1, WoW will modify the hot instances "Zul'gurub" and "Zul'aman" and

integrate the new feature – "Urgent Recruitment", and players will be able to experience

the instances more easily and freely. Moreover, the newly added "guild search system" will

help players find the guilds that are more suitable for them.

Dark Blood
The online action game Dark Blood by Actoz also enjoys as wide popularity as TERA and Blade

& Soul. The number of Dark Blood's simultaneous online players hit over 20,000 on its first

OBT day, and now remains at a level of 40,000 or so, which's just a proof of the game's high

popularity. What should be noted is that Dark Blood is the result of the thorough

modifications made to Karcass Online which was started all over again due to unpopularity.

On April 13, the game introduced 10 new instances and raised the level cap. According to

understanding, the official company has prepared a new expansion, and will make it available

soon.

In addition to the above online games, Nexon will launch a wide array of events in the

online games including Dungeon Fighter Online, MapleStory and Crazy Racing Karat Rider on

June 1. A fierce fight among various competitive games is about to break out!
