As an example, instead of paying for full heal potions, you will earn them through time played or achievements etc. In our current business model, we do not have plans to sell Loot Crates for money, but they may be available as some form of in-game reward for in-game activity. … [Read more...] about – Massive interview with Barunson E&A on upcoming western server

The Root Cause This the sanctuary hub in the middle of the Central Shard near Gridania.  This is the sight you see at almost EVERY single city or hub in the game… players afking en masse.  Since the ability to log in at any given time is uncertain, players have taken to NEVER logging out as a way to combat this.  Since the logins are strictly locked to a specific number of players on the server at any given time… we end up competing for a smaller and smaller number of slots on a nightly basis.  Apparently it is standard eastern mmo practices to NEVER idle kick a player from the server.  As a result US/EU players are abusing the hell out of this and simply leaving their game running 24/7. … [Read more...] about Login Lottery

MassivelyOP: It seems like Bless has just been blasted with bad reviews and bad press all summer – even our own impressions piece, the closest thing we do to a review on MOP, was riddled with disappointment in the state of the game.
