Update: April Fools! No, this was not real.

So far, the development of Blade and Soul has been very exciting to follow, but nothing has been as incredible as this! Blade and Soul will include a version for the iPhone. That's right. The iPhone!

Significant progress for the development of the iPhone app has already been done and thus far Team Bloodlust is quite happy with the quality of the game. This version will be able to connect via Wi-Fi allowing users to connect and play Blade and Soul from almost any location with a Wi-Fi signal available. This will allow players to enjoy Blade and Soul from any environment! The quality is actually quite astounding.



In fact, the developers have been so pleased with the progress of Blade and Soul as an iphone application that NCSoft and Team Bloodlust have decided to cease the production of the PC version and release the game purely as an iPhone application. NCSoft was quoted saying that this was an incredibly tough decision, but the decision will be a unique pioneering adventure for the gaming industry. Leave it to Korea to become the new leader in online gaming innovation!

We at the Dojo would just like to say that this news is incredibly exciting and we fully support the developers decision in this matter. So, as we lay to rest the PC version of Blade and Soul, we look forward to a brighter future on the iPhone. This game is truly one of the most innovative titles to date and we are very anxious to see what Team Bloodlust comes up with next.

Speaking of, that brings us to our next huge piece of news! A new race! This new addition to the Blade and Soul race line up will surely prompt even more excitement over the release of this game. I myself am now torn in my race decision after this new announcement. So without further delay, I present to you; The Middle-Aged

Team Bloodlust has struggled to keep this huge announcement a secret, but no longer, as it's finally here!

Racials

• Starts with several levels of his or her job already completed
• Starts with a moderate amount of money
• Low stamina
• Low avoidance
• Intolerant of lower level players
• Unique in game item: "Walking Stick"
• May break hip while running

All of us at the Dojo are incredibly excited to get our hands on this exciting new race!

Well... that was utterly disappointing... :cry: That would be a utter fail in my country...
But i hope that NCSoft only plans to release iPhone version ONLY IN KOREA or in additional countries but ALONG WITH THE PC version but if not...


:bowling::bowling::bowling::bowling::bowling:


P.S. and now... what will i do with my PC? ( that i freaking upgraded for games just like this... )

This looks credible and believable and not fake at all. :feel_good:

[Arawn]

Is this a joke because we are the 1st April ? :smile:

Maybe not...

[Zephaniah Valery.]

I've just woke up, so I might be a bit hashy.

For me this look like a pure joke, what a way to introduce the world we were all imagining and expecting while taking on this forum to be showed in that stupid iPhone. And the Middle Age? I just hope it is a 1st April joke nevertheless. At first it made laugh, but when I read "they were creating with iPhone apps" my world cracked XD so I just hope PS3 and PC version won't be like that.

[Jin]

april fool's day FTW xD

[justadued]

[Kaider]

Hahahah.. priceless. Happy April 1st everyone :big_smile:

All jokes aside.. is it just me or they showed login screen and character select as it could possibly look in the real thing..
