They announced the english version looong ago (like 2 years) but they seemed to have abandoned the idea...

Anyway, i tried the Chinese and Taiwanese versions and i got a horrible lag in both of them. The graphics are really cool but i just couldn't enjoy it because of the lag.

Item mall, the three versions are free as far as i know. I played the chinese and taiwanese, both free. Korean version is free also, judging for what i read in mmosite forums (you need to mask your IP though, as they ban foreigners in the Korean version).

I'm not sure what version it was, but in one of them you need to verify your account twice (probably the chinese one, i remember taking more time to get to that one).

And there's no translations as far as i know, i looked through many forums for them but it seems the closest thing was a pic someone edited to english of the gui and some other stuff on screen.

Ah finally found it:

http://forum.mmosite.com/topics/126/200 ... 1213553437


It isn't exactly verifying twice, but the process is longer than normal. I'm not sure if that is the problem you have but maybe you missed one of these steps.

Hope it helps you.
