In Blade and Soul, the first lucky players have the chance to play it for the first time in the West.
A few lucky founders received an email. Unexpectedly, they were invited to the “technical alpha” of Blade and Soul. This means they will be among the first to test West Blade and Soul . The alpha runs until Monday.
Only a few were selected from the founders at NCSoft. For those who are not included now: Next weekend, there will be another, larger alpha event. However, even there, it cannot be guaranteed that all players who bought a founder will get in. The alpha players will even be able to keep their characters when it moves into closed beta.
This actual closed beta will take place over several weekends starting at the end of October, then all founders will have access.
Blade and Soul is considered one of the most interesting Free2Play titles that will be coming to the West in the near future. However, the release is not expected until early 2016.
