I think NCSoft is possibly weighing the options between: (1) new folks they won't get because of said stuff and (2) current folks playing the KR that will come to the EN/FR/GR (Is GR short for German?) that are crying that there shouldn't be any censoring.

At least, that's my hope? Because much as I don't like it, I can't fault them for trying to keep the largest base and make monies.

Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew.
How is this NOT being censored? Like.. what. Don't they know how many won't go near the game because of that?

Agreed, I'd like for it to succeed, but it's for sure not my thing. Especially looking at all of the outfits, now…

Ah yes. I browsed the web momentarily and found a "great" video of some outfits with a Lin dancing all like a pole dancer… Nope. Done. lol

Kinda sums up my thoughts nicely - thanks for taking the time to investigate it. Its mostly the grind without reason and the art (despite loving anime) the gear my characters tends to end up having to wear makes me cringe. (Yes I cant play TERA for this reason too.)

I really dont like games where your gear looks like its a trendy mall suit or kungfu masters all the time. And i have a reasonably low tolerance for "sexy time" outfits.

I hope it makes some people very happy tho - more games out the better!

I've seen it around the MMOsphere, I could find you a bunch of images to prove but I won't. xD

Based on Twitch chat there still seemed to be a decent hype. About 4k folks in chat on average. Yeah, I didn't find it special looking. And the races didn't speak to me. I haven't seen anything about it outside of the stream, but what was shown in stream didn't seem overly sexualized. Doesn't mean it isn't though lol.

Yeah it's one of those that initially looked really cool to MMORPG fans, especially those that prefer games from the South East Asia area of the world (there's quite a niche for these MMOs). Sadly it's now 2015 and the game has likely not aged too well with market preferences changed quite drastically. Maybe it's fine, who knows, but nothing SPECIAL. Besides.. the over-sexualised female character models both creep me out and put me off big time. Sexy I'm cool with. Sexualised no thanks.
