Quick FYI’s. The Korean publisher has ACL’s that are allowing only network addresses allocated in the country (which can be bypassed by non-transparent proxies or a Korean VPN). Registration however requires either a Korean phone number or i-pin (aka KSSN).
NewGameWay is providing a non-guaranteed method for $8 (if you don’t win one of the slots, that $8 will not be refunded). This initial CBT is only for 5 days. Let me just cut to the chase. CBT’s nowadays are gaming industry speak for public relations (marketing 101) as a means to generate hype and mindshare. These aren’t the same level of closed betas where external feedback is heavily weighted except when it comes to egregious issues or systems/designs that are clearly flawed based on consistent statistics. So this is going to be like an early preview of selected parts of the game that is somewhat feature complete. That does not represent how complete the rest of the game is though.
