I hope Bless succeed at the global market.

Korea always gets tons of new MMORPGs that never make it to the West. To them its no big deal. The West, however, rarely gets decent MMORPGs making it a much bigger deal. I personally like the Korean MMO style over the Western styles, but it takes forever for them to be localized and usually when they are localized it's by some terrible, money hungry company like Trion that fcks it all up and goes P2W. If Bless can avoid that then there might be a chance

it is GOOD when MMO has low ranks in KR it tells it is more western :)

That is some powerful optimism.

You'll notice that many of the top 50 games in Korea tried and failed to be anywhere as successful in the west. Success in Korea means next to nothing in the west, two different audiences.

Moonlight Blade still going strong, gives it hope to be launched in the west, but yeah as others have mentioned Bless is not even possible to be ranked at this point as they are dead in Korea awaiting a relaunch in future.

BLESS Online cannot even have a rank actually, its Korean version is dead and used a PTR not even updated like the japanese version so...

Yeah because Neowiz has halted developments in JP and KR and is only focusing on steam release :)

I have gained some hope for this game after seeing how active the team they have working the forums is about answering questions and closing threads as need be.

Speaking of which, if a mod reads this will you please ask whoever handles announcements if we can please have information about whether the +15 enchanting system in place for the other version will remain in the steam version?

I'd happily pay a monthly sub fee that just came with something as simple as a monthly pack of armor dyes (or nothing) rather than have to work with one of those enchanting systems. They usually generate revenue by selling real money "enchant success boost" items but they're pretty frustrating. Pass this question up the chain? Thank you.

Bless was created with western players in mind, so it is not surprising that korean gamers didn't liked it. The game world is basically Bless' version of medieval europe. Koreans love grinding, flashy, over the top combat systems, colorful game worlds and skimpy dresses - everything that Bless is not.

You...probably want to go look up Bless online costumes on youtube. You're about to get a mountain of skimpy costumes in your eyeballs, I'm very sorry. Of course they might not put them in the Steam version, no way to tell yet.

Agree I hope they don't put costumes.
Few examples;

I know, but they only added them later on when the game was already failing. The overall design is way too "western" for Koreans.

There's not a chance in hell that they wont put those in our shop, lol. If they're removing other stuff that was p2w, they'll be making damn sure to cram everything else they can possibly find into ours to try and make up for it. :D

Edit: At least all this stuff is goofy and not very cool. It could be like Tera where the costumes, mounts and weapon skins look 10x better than most of what you earn in the game as loot. Once you have a good looking costume and skin, the excitement of getting new loot is greatly watered down in my opinion.
