A korean mmo currently being developed by XLGames. They are trying to mix old-school with new-school elements and from the looks of things in the closed beta footage, it's showing a lot of promise. From what I've gathered, after spending hours cursing the thought of not being able to play, there seems to be a lot of love and attention that the dev has given over the years developing this promising title. I could go on and on but the vids speak for themselves. CBT is currently only running in Korea right now, and remember it still is CBT so don't judge too harshly.
Current plans are to sell the MMO like Guild Wars where players pay for the game and are able to play as they see fit. Combat also has similarities to the likes of guild wars, where there is still tab targetting going on but hitboxes are present.
There are only 4 playable races currently, these include the cat people known as the Ferres, the Elves, the Nuians which are basically the western human race and finally the Hariharans which look like short asian people >_>. Plans are to add 4 more playable races, two of which have been revealed to be the Dwarves and Warborns which look like a mix between a dragoon and a demon. I'm not too sure if a race has any significance in what weapon they use or what class they are but reading the descriptions of these races they might implement some sort of advantage to using specific weapons on specific races. I'll post a link to race information below if you'd like to read more.
Players are also not restricted to a certain class, what was really brought to my attention is the fact that you can combine three different classes up to a whopping number of 120 different class combinations. This would mean you could have a heavy hammer weilding mage wearing light armor with an option for any secondary weapon. But the highlight of this game would be the fact that you can create your own city anywhere in the world (with slight restrictions of course, probably to certain areas). Players will have to landscape their own area if they were to build in an area of their choice, and yes it IS persistent.
There is also a full fledged underwater gameplay experience and sailing, which brings us to ports and ships. Yes if you'd like you CAN be a pirate. There are also field bosses (also on land) like the Kraken which is basically a world boss iinm. Oh yes, you need to have a group of friends or hire mercenaries to man the cannons and sails!
Mounts are actually an awesome means of transport now as they are basically summons. Mounted combat people! Also, friends can use your mounts while you sit behind them. Other mounts include, rowboats/lions/gliders. Yes, gliders
I may have missed a few features or points as to why this MMORPG is awesome, so please take the time to watch a few videos.
