I'm judging it by the fact that EVERY MMO released by an Asian company in the last decade has been an utterly tedious, shallow grindfest. Until you show me evidence to the contrary, that is simply reality.
"The kill 30, kill 40, kill 50, and kill 60 goals have been removed due to player feedback and an attempt to localize the game for North American audiences."
Haha, this is only proof that every Korean MMO is just a massive, shallow grindfest.
And you're right, soadsam. All Asian MMO's are exactly the same. I don't know why anyone even plays that garbage.
I'm glad they've got the right idea. I'm sick of MMO companies that marginalize every class by blurring the class lines and making nobody particularly good at any task. "Let's make everyone equally miserable and useless!"
Blizzard has been doing this for a while. Now FunCom is starting to do it in Anarchy Online.
Good to see that Jumpgate will have good class diversification.
That's not so "serious" when it comes to enforcing an NDA... relatively speaking.
I broke the NDA when I was a Sentinel in Asheron's Call, and got banned permanently from the game, threatened with legal action, and the entire Sentinel program (the equivalent of WoW GM's, but unpaid) was dismantled permanently and replaced with an internal Turbine-run GM team.
