It's only two years late, but hey, we're not complaining! Ijji.com has reported to us that they've obtained the rights to publish Webzen's Soul of the Ultimate Nation in North America and that the game will release somewhere in late 2009.
Soul of the Ultimate Nation, called SUN for short, is a hack and slash MMO developed by Huxley creators Webzen. The game was originally slated to be published in North America in late 2007, but the game's status went silent and slowly slipped off of everyone's radar.
SUN features a quicker style of gameplay, more akin to a game like Dynasty Warriors than your standard MMO. To perform this feat, the game breaks the world map up into zones created by players in towns, very much like creating your own match in a first-person shooter. Players create these fields in order to hunt down monsters, solve missions, or complete quests.
Players can also take objectives to assult areas in a siege-esque manner, where many players create rooms to assault one objective. In these cases, successful and unsuccessful sieges affect how the other in-progress games play out, altering the difficulty of the battle to show the turning tide of one side winning or losing. The game does feature persistent cities where players can mingle, much like it's first-person shooter brother, Huxley.

i guess it's true...there are just no women working at these companies. the uniformity of out of control female armor (anyone remember plate nipple protrusions from a few weeks ago?) drives me insane - every - single - time -

I don't think those females are using their armor very effectively.

...I was more thinking of the "pinching factor" if I had to suddenly move very strategically in combat would be extreme painful if I where wearing that.

So where is the English website and when can I play it? The game is linked to a wiki page and not the games page.

Ijji.com hasn't updated their site yet. They just sent us the press release yesterday, so hopefully they'll update soon.
In the mean time, you can find gameplay on YouTube, if you search for Soul of the Ultimate Nation.
