Fairyland 2 (or Funtasy Online in Taiwan) is a really nice turn-based game. I was invited by Lager to do a review on it as I could speak the language some time back:
There were actually alot of Asian MMOs (from Taiwan, China, Korea and Japan) at the show. They already have English trailers and stuff to attract the English publishers. It's just that Massively did not cover them. And mind you, some of the MMOs are really innovative, not your usual Asian grinder. How about a voice controlled MMO, where speaking commands through the mic can control your some aspects of gameplay?
NCsoft totally looked down on the Oceanic community, with only 1 channel available in the server (Nezekan). There are more people than mobs on most days, even if I have 4hours to spare on grinding, there ain't no grinding spot for me, and most players, Not to mention the dreaded server queue on weekends.
NCsoft, you screw the Oceanic / South East Asia English community, we cancel our sub, as easy as that.
Too bad Viacom stopped development ages ago and left the game to the various individual servers. I don't think any of the servers have the funds to do a major overhaul for the graphics.
