Hello, Dozy.

I have a few questions and I hope you don't mind answering but I'm sure people here are willing to help, too.

So, me, my brother and a couple of friends just started BnS as soon as we found out about the game (Around last 2 weeks or so. I know, we're far behind dates.) So, I did some research and stuff and found some useful guide on how to install, update and play. Little did I know, we were playing on the RU server (Patched client to English). We were getting around 489ms in ping and dropped to 190ms with WTFast (paid version).

I did some more research on servers because as people mentioned in this thread, 100-200ms is already annoying and it is to me once we entered PvP and progress.

So, my question (and pardon me if I sound stupid for asking noob questions):

1. Is the TW version a main server? Or is it a sub server for CN server? If I'm wrong about mains and subs, please enlighten me.

2. Is this a new server and is it stable in terms of long run maintenance and updates?

3. If there is a guide on how to download and install, can you please point it out to me? Or can I just use the current RU version to play with TW, which saves time downloading.

4. Can I use the English patch or must I know Chinese to play?

YES, we are willing to give up to RU server because it's based in Germany. Hence, the crazy latency. Came across this thread and had a very interesting read and glad there's a community rather than just the few of my friends.

If all goes well, see you soon!

tw version is by NCTaiwan, a subsidiary of NCsoft, but so far, all those marketing and planning are highly in favor of those botting company

2. Is this a new server and is it stable in terms of long run maintenance and updates?

About 3 months old and 60% of the players, at least those who I have been playing with, have went back to either korea or china server.
For maintenance, every Wednesday, so far rarely any emergency maintenance is seen

Thanks for your reply. Not sure what you mean by botting company. 60% reverted? Are you saying TW is not good? Or is it good for us?

Yeah, I've been reading threads in Dojo. Just making sure it's the same English overhaul for the TW version that's found here: http://bladeandsoul.org/. Just checked and it is.

Downloading the game now. For the third question, I don't think you can use the same files from RU server. Plus, I believe they're using a different version of the game that's kinda outdated.

Don't use the RUS version because that version is China version.

You have start all over again by downloading the TW client.

Then you can go here for the English overhaul:

They used google translation i believed cos the English is more broken than Ragnarok Online.

Thanks. I figured as much. Then it's no different from the RU version I'm playing. Google translate all the way at its best.

(v) Queuing system ( expect hours of waiting during peak hours especially for new server, reason of not expanding their server capacity is to force users to subscribe their monthly membership ~ RM 45 per month should you want to skip the waiting)

In short, should the latency issue for China version from Malaysia user is solved or similar to Taiwan version, there is limited reason that you should stay in Taiwan version.

So, more reason for me to play TW or? Sorry, I'm confused. Latency aside, is it worth the download? Or should I just play with CN?

For those who get stuck at logo screen, please give it a minute. This happens when you use the English overhaul. Don't quit the game straight away.

They're still looking into the malware detection. It's unintentional.

I'm using WTFast (Paid version, though), and getting 30-50ms. Give it a try if you don't mind paying.

Is there by any chance, an update for the language? The translation still bothers me.

question is , how the ping gonna be from here , assuming most everyone from MY, to EU or NA.. any suggested booster or something?

Let's just hope it ends up being reasonable like how people around the world play US server with 150+ ping. But YMMV since BnS is a more resource intensed game. I used WTF and will continue to use WTF. smile.gif
