I just got email that BnS is finally going to get a West release. Its a NCSoft game (ie of Korean origin), for anyone not familiar with it and its West release was bumped last year, due to Wildstar, with the entire staff being dissolved. I forget the details and NCSoft was rather hush about what happened, but overall a lot of us who were watching the game, thought that it would never come to the West.
While I've never played it, some people that I know do play the Chinese version (there's an English fan-mod for the Chinese client) and they really love it. I've been more or less lazy and never got around to following the fan-FAQ for signing up, downloading, installing English mod and all of that.
Also, if you like anime, there's a BnS anime on Crunchyroll that will give you some idea of the lore behind the game: http://www.crunchyroll.com/blade-and-soul
Anyway, if you've been wondering what happened to BnS... the rumors were true, its officially coming to the West! (again... /cautiouslyoptimistic)
