With the Blader launching in the West as the Musa tomorrow, now seems like the perfect time to reveal the class' awakening. As we have seen previously, the Blader wields a polearm similar to a naginata or a woldo. With the crescent-shaped blade, the awakening weapon gives the Blader extended range to the point that almost every attack in the video appears to be an AoE of some sort. Most of the skill effects include fire.
Daum has not yet announced when awakenings will be making their way to the West. You can, however, watch the teaser trailer below to get an idea of whether the Blader—or Musa—is a class you will want to stick with long term.

With the addition of the Musa and Maehwa classes a mere two days away, Black Desert Online players were undoubtedly concerned that they would have to delete an existing character in order to try the classes out. Due to the way energy is handled, creating alts is almost necessary and I have no doubt that many players have long since filled their character slots.
Fortunately, you no longer have to worry about your existing characters. Daum will be increasing the number of free character slots from four to five, effectively granting everyone an additional slot. The amount of character slots per server will be increased from nine to ten.
Aeria Games has signed the dotted line with Neowiz Games, finalizing a deal to publish Bless in North America and Europe, according to 2p.com. No announcement date has been made yet. And considering the Korean Open Beta launched on January 27th we may not see a localized Bless until the latter half of the summer.
Bless is a medieval fantasy MMORPG built on Unreal Engine 3. The game's world is torn apart by two factions (sound familiar?) and Neowiz touts a highly narrative driven experience.
Publisher Aeria Games is not immune to controversy, and many commentators already fear that Bless will be a pay-to-win title.
Redditor Myzzrym claims to have worked at Aeria Games, being responsible for the monetization of Aura Kingdom. He stated in a post:
Hey there guys,
I was working at Aeria Games until very recently. To be honest, they have been trying to move away from P2W these last 2 years. Aura Kingdom and Echo of Soul cash shops are nowhere close to Shaiya for instance. Hopefully if they keep going that way we might get a non-P2W game for BLESS.
That being said... "Not to mention, Aeria has some shit servers" => I agree, we used to complain a lot about the servers ourselves. Probably has to do with the choice of data centers to start with. They are working on changing that, fingers crossed to get that by the time BLESS is out.
Cheers,
Myzzrym
While we can't confirm that Myzzrym's statements are true, it seems premature to call Bless pay-to-win before the game has even released. Basing unknown facts on a publishers other titles can be helpful but it doesn't lead to concrete proofs. Only time will tell.
What do you think of Neowiz's publishing deal with Aeria Games?
Perfect World Entertainment announced today that their martial arts-themed MMORPG Swordsman Online will be receiving an expansion called Lone Wanderer later this year. The expansion will introduce a new class called the Falconer. The Falconer travels the world with an eagle companion that attacks anyone that threatens the Falconer.
New, powerful weapons called Glass Weapons will be introduced. Glass Weapons will be "forged by smelting Sun and Moon Shard weapons together."
Standard content updates including new maps and quests, as well as the level cap being raised to 99, will also be included. New equipment called Scenery Stones will give players another way to increase their characters' power. A new three-player instance and a free-for-all PvP arena will offer players various rewards.
A release date for the expansion has yet to be announced.
Blizzard announced earlier today that Overwatch's Closed Beta will be coming to a close on April 25th at 10 AM PDT. The final batch of Closed Beta invites has been sent out already, meaning no one else will be getting access to the Closed Beta during its final days. A wipe will occur after Closed Beta ends.
Overwatch will open up again for Open Beta on May 5th. Pre-purchasing the game before April 29th will grant you access to the Open Beta two days early. The game will officially launch on May 24th.
After holding us in suspense for quite some time, Blizzard announced today that World of Warcraft: Legion will be launching on August 30th. As with many of Blizzard's other recent pre-purchase offers, you can either pre-purchase the expansion alone for $49.99 or get the Digital Deluxe Edition— which contains various mounts and other items for all of Blizzard's games—for $69.99. Both versions allow you to instantly boost a character to level 100 and will grant early access to the Demon Hunter class.
The full list of Legion features is as follows.
World of Warcraft: Legion Features
World of Warcraft: Legion is filled with features and content that will transform Azeroth’s heroes into Legion-slaying avatars of vengeance, including:
- New Hero Class: Demon Hunter—Unleash the demon within as an all-new melee hero class gifted with preternatural mobility—and the ability to metamorphose into hellish new forms.
- New Feature: Artifact Weapons—Smite the Legion with class-specific weapons of lore. Unlock abilities and traits, and customize your weapon to suit your needs.
- New Continent: The Broken Isles—Discover the fate of a lost night elf civilization, confront twisted fragments of the Emerald Nightmare, and hunt agents of the Legion in all-new zones. Forge your own path through the Broken Isles as you explore content that dynamically scales to your level.
- Boost to Level 100—Come fully prepared to battle the Legion with a level-100 character boost, and fight alongside your friends in this epic new chapter of World of Warcraft—available immediately upon pre-purchase†.
- New Feature: Class Hall—Gather with fellow members of your class and unite followers of your order—including iconic characters from Warcraft lore—to carry out missions at your command.
- New PvP Honor System—Fight for fame, glory, and a range of new PvP-specific powers as you face the opposing faction in Arenas and Battlegrounds.

Following almost a year on Steam Early Access, Tree of Life has officially gone Beta. The inaugural Beta patch brings in a number of major changes, including new character models. The game now features "beautiful female toon with a lovely face, and handsome male toon with a sexy muscular body." Beards and make-up have been added alongside the new character models.
The new player experience has been altered. There are now two starting points per area for a total of six. The game will randomly choose a starting point for you when you first enter the game world. New players and their buildings will only take 10% of the normal amount of damage from other players until they reach a specific level of mastery or go red.
A number of items have been rebalanced, new terrain and "secret places" have been added, and an in-game item store will be opening soon. You can find the full patch notes here.
To commemorate reaching Beta, Tree of Life is 30% off until May 2nd. A small Facebook event with in-game prizes is running here.
Survival game The Black Death will be entering Early Access on April 19, 2016, and publisher Green Man Loaded has unveiled a new trailer to show off the game.
The Black Death is set in a 8km² Medieval Europe during a devastating plague. Players will pursue professions, such as blacksmith or filthy peasant, explore the lands for resources, and trade to earn coin. What peaks my interest is its self-proclaimed unique combat system where the victor must time their swings and parries.
While the game's price on Steam hasn't been set yet, interested played can purchase The Black Death through Green Man Gaming for $19.99.
RF Online was originally launched in the West in 2006 as a pay-to-play title published by Codemasters. The service lasted only two years before being shut down when the license expired. Following the shut down, developer CCR decided to re-publish it itself before moving to GamesCampus. RedFox Games is currently publishing the title. Over the years, RF Online has developed a small, but dedicated, audience in its ten years running due to its sci-fi/fantasy hybrid setting, its RvR features, and the fairly unique ability to pilot mechs in an MMORPG setting.
Today, MMOCulture discovered that CCR has filed a trademark for RF Online II, a "downloadable software" title that is being made for multiple platforms. Interestingly enough, virtual reality is listed as one of those platforms.
No other information has been revealed as of yet. With any luck, CCR will make an official announcement soon.
