Blade & Soul Tournament 2015 World Championship starts from Nov 1st to Nov 14th. Its stage musical is based on the story of the main villain, Jin Seo-Yeon. The championship will most likely also reveal the 9th class, which will in turn stir up a lot of hype for the early 2016 release of Blade & Soul and the beta weekends still to come. The matches stream on Korea BNS website and the NCSoft Youtube page. As players are usually good at e-sports, this PvP tournament is quite worth watching.

About Blade & Soul

To most Asian players, Blade and Soul is no longer a new MMO now. Blade & Soul is developed by Korean game developer NCsoft. Blade & Soul is a fantasy martial-arts game featuring stunning graphics by artist Hyung-Tae Kim. After years of waiting, this game will ultimately launch in NA/EU in Q1 2016. Before its release, player still need to play it on Asian servers. The Taiwan one was cool, though seemed really small compared to the Korean one. So if you are living outside of Asia, Blade & Soul Korea server is more recommended. A Korea VPN can allow you play on Blade & Soul Korea server.

Shaiya Wars Closed Beta

Do you remember Shaiya, the old MMORPG from Aeria Games, bought over by Nexon Korea many years ago? Shaiya Wars is the new online MMORPG in the Shaiya series, but this new game seems totally different. Though based on the Shaiya intellectual property (IP), it's not considered a sequel to the original Shaiya. Developed and published in South Korea by Nexon,  Shaiya Wars aims at both casual and hardcore players with simple control, fast action, and short battle period.

Shaiya Wars takes the anime visual style and aims at younger player base. Focused on PVP battles, there are 3 large battlefields currently where 100 vs 100 battles take place.  5 features are highlighted, and together with the artwork, gives a certain vibe of games such as Legend of Edda. In this CBT, there are 6 featured characters including guardian, warrior, assassin, archer, mage and priest, in total.

However this is a new game planned exclusively for Korea for now, and no release in other markets has been planned yet.

Kritika is designed with cartoon style graphics and its quest mode is typically found in other action MMORPGs. It allows you to go absolutely crazy fighting. Let's say Dragon Nest and Vindictus with the modesty turned off. If I ever feel stressed I pop this on, and stress goes away.

It is available on iOS and Android devices all over the world, but the PC MMO Kritika Online is still restricted to Asian territories. If you want to further experience the spectacular high definition sounds and sights in 3D, you may player it PC version. Its English server will be coming soon, go to find an Asian VPN which contains more Asian servers and offers fast and stable connection. I would like to recommend FlyVPN, a VPN provider offers lots of Asia VPN servers. It also provides free Singapore and Malaysia VPN server.
