I agree. I don't find any people that even know of this game (advertising was never big for this game...ever). I've been playing off and on since the open Beta with iJJi. I got tired of contiuosly being a lvl 20 in GW and started playing this game (lvl cap at the moment is 150) and will go back to it faster than going back to GW. Except for some grinding at higher levels and lackluster GMs it still can be a fun game. IMO the graphics, eventhough 4 years or so old (Korean version came out in 2006...I think) are better than most newer games and still runs really smoothly on even older computers. If you do play make sure you have some friends that start with you, as finding parties can be a pain at times.
Wow, glad you guys have more info on this than the whole SUN community...good job Webzen. Sad to see a game I grew to love when it was with iJJi, who failed and gave the game back to Webzen. Most of the community was thrilled to go to Webzen, we thought they had to be better than iJJi...right...now we are having the same great customer service we had at iJJi.
Really like this game. Hey it's F2P... Combat is fun, destructible enviroments adds to that. Using the source engine allows for really nice graphics that aren't to much for even some low end comps. There is an update coming Dec 1 w/new content. Also the European version is still said to be released at the end of 2010, but more likely the begining of 2011.
I bought CO back in January on Steam for $10 played for a month then left. I recently rescirbed for a month just for the annaversary and I'm glad I have come back eventhough there are some problems with the game, it is still fun. What was cool was having a level 40group (my main was 22 at the time) pick me up while fighting the destroids...I actually leveled with all the exp of just killing and have lvl 40 gear I can sell in the auction house...nice. :)
I agree with you on this. That has puzzled me from the start. If you are on ijji forums it mentions Webzen's site, but you have to look for it. You would think for a company trying to get players it would be more apparent, plus I never see adverts for the game. They have a facebook site that, in the case of ijji, has no real information whatsoever. It is sad cause the game, for being free, is pretty good...With the president that BF Heroes has made with micro-transactions, on a free game you would think they would try harder...
For everyone in the US, Canada, Mexico, and The United Kingdom our version of the game is distributed by ijji. It still is the Webzen game but through ijji.

Still a really good game IMO especially being free...
