Every year Ncsoft has been trying to beat WoW. Maybe this year was Aion they can do it...in Asia. Question is will it do well here, which I can say no, but korean gaming is only stigma when your talking about games other than lineage 2. Even than its only considered a bad thing if your game is made from korea if the game is p2p. Its a big flashy anime trailer turned game, ultimately I think its lineage 2 with 30% less grind.

NCSoft really isn't trying to beat WoW with Aion. It's not built for that.
Blade & Soul however? For sure. You don't hire Hyung Tae-Kim and not want every Korean to snap it up like it's a furby.

Aion is/was supposed to be more suited for Western gaming than most Korean exploits; NCSoft's grand experiment to try and destroy the Korean-gaming stigmas... so they SAY. Less grind, more lore and quest linkage, etc. It did win best game of 2008 in Korea right? Which I assume is no small feat.
Dont we have any Koreans in f13? The game's been out for 2 months over there; you'd think we could get an impression from SOMEONE. Start a thread or SOMETHING, dang...

I thought Xerapis was in Korea. He doesn't speak the language fluently, however, and has a raging wow addiction.

I'd say we tap his boyfriend then, but he's even more into Warcraft.

Winning best game in Korea really isn't a huge feat. You'd be surprised how few games come out of there considering Japan is a stone's throw away (RELATIVELY SPEAKING). Console development is almost non-existant other than the few oddities like DJ Portable Max from Pentavision and PC development is largely trash.

There are, of course, good reasons for that. And its the whole point why Korea is practically immune to Japan's console-philia too. |

I still think my number is closer, and perhaps too high, since 3-6 month subs are still included.
