While I am not as hyped as many others, I’m looking forward to the western version finally releasing. I don’t know how many times I’ve leveled in the technical tests and closed betas, but this time around, the characters and the progress I make, won’t get wiped again (unless I delete them, or the game shutters; which for this game, is going to be a long while unlike many other prior imported Korean MMO’s).
Packs purchasers of any tier, will get a 3 day headstart (so February 8th instead of the 11th). Additionally, a community manager confirmed there will be no way to reserve names ahead of time. They also confirmed that if you create a character (just to reserve a name) and then delete it, the name will not be released (it can only be done with a manual refresh by Amazon Games). Presets made during the two prior tests, should work (but this has not been confirmed yet).
The company also have not released details on the server names (or how many) for each region. North America will be split into East and West (and will in effect, be two separate regions). I personally believe this is a mistake to split the population this way, but this is the decision they made. No details have also been released yet regarding pre-downloads. The company plans to begin doing more marketing and information dumps heading into these final two weeks.
