Any know when blade and soul the game come to Europe? or NA and any know if need to p2p or b2p or f2p?

[Vile Samael]

We don't know. There's an astronomically small chance it'd be F2P so don't hold your breath on that. It's most likely either gonna be B2P or P2P. People are estimating it coming out in either spring or summer 2013? That's just a guess though.

FRICK 2013 sorry I typo'd that 8I'' Yeah I prefer B2P with a cash shop as well. They'd probably get more money from that as well.

Late Summer 2013. Guaranteed

Betas will be in late Spring or early Summer 2013.

The game is p2p in Korea and doing just fine. I doubt they will change the payment type for the NA release.

what do you advise me? to start playing in KR and hopefully come to Europe?

You think this? i think if go P2P for NA or EU i'm living in EU i think all dont go pay for this.. I'm not saying that the game lends not to pay but I tell you that sales will drop if P2P, for example when I go out in the aion F2P was europe and give you another example WOW "world of warcraft" P2P is a game and this time ta to have a big drop in players, they are losing the very same Wow that game was already won over € 10 million per month

BNS will be pay 2 play. They didn't change it for Tera and that is a far inferior game. BNS appears to be killing it in Korea when Tera didn't.

Nah it won't be f2p the game is too beautiful to be crapped out with a community of free loaders and scam artists. Aion is crap sorry but it is and raiderz is trash. A b2p or p2p model is best for BS even if only the loyal fans play they would make a fortune. Everyone asking for f2p just needs to find another game to bog down with their selfish model.

[Bestuga]

but i dont like aion i never play it but i think if p2p not much people pay for play this but if put BUY TO PAY i think much people will buy if put Free to play they do money with Premium shop on website

why always peeps make new topis always saying the same , they cant READ the faq ? ...

B2P would be nice instead of the monthly but I'm fine with the P2P model for BNS. As long as it's good of course :P

[discolipz]

Never f2p ever for this game.

http://prntscr.com/jfrep There's a chance that it won't be, and B2P seems to be very popular from what I've seen. So, if they're gonna stay true to their word, B2P is most certainly not out of the question.

Tonight at 11 PM PST.
Don't miss it!

That may be true, but it just seems unlikely. Only due to the fact they made it p2p in Korea. If they change the payment type over seas they run a HUGE risk of displeasing their Korean fans. Complaints of inequality would be sure to follow if people of the West got special treatment over their original fan base.

Then why even say what they did, if they were gonna do that in the end? That just seems unfair to the western players. It's like "Yeah you matte- OH WAIT no Koreans matter more than you sorry you get no say."

It's not that we don't get a say. They have obviously been paying close attention to us. However, this being a Korean game adapted to the west for profitability, we come second.
