This release was completely free-to-play, requiring no purchase of the base game, no recurring monthly fee.Īfter the critically negative response to the game within South Korea, Neowiz, the developers of Bless Online decided they were going to attempt a release outside of the games country of origin: Specifically, Japan and Russia. 3 whole years after their first Closed Beta test. The reception was quite poor, which ultimately delayed the game several years, releasing into Open Beta within South Korea in August 2017.
In 2014, the first state of Closed Beta testing began in South Korea. Approximately $60,000,000 was invested into bringing this game to life. The game was developed utilizing Unreal Engine 3, and suffered from quite a few performance issues as many Unreal Engine 3 MMOs do. Bless Online was announced all the way back in 2011. So let’s give the game a little backstory. Especially given how Bless Unleashed is nearing release on PC, and Bless Mobile launched globally just a few months ago. I figured, what with Bless Mobile – the most recent Bless MMO shutting down in South Korea after only a year of service, this was the perfect time to do a video talking about this.
It comes with the territory.īut even so, rarely are these games legitimate scams, taking advantage of a community of players thirsty for something new and exciting.Īnd while there are MMOs out there, such as DreamWorld that went on to scam over $60,000 from players, and Chronicles of Elyria which scammed millions – there is no larger offender than the Bless IP. We’re no stranger to games not living up to our expectations.
With the release of Bless Unleashed right around the corner, and some of you with your finger ready on the “purchase Founder’s pack” button, I wanted to talk about one of the largest MMO scams in the history of the genre: The entire Bless IP.
