In the Wuxia MMORPG Blade and Soul, fans in the West can vote on which of 10 costumes should make it into the final game. In Korea, however, they will merge servers.
Blade and Soul is currently in the “We are building a community” phase here in the West. By the end of the year, the game, which has been out in Korea for so long, is set to enter an open beta phase. Likely to increase community engagement and promote their social media, players have been asked to design costume concepts.
From the submissions, 10 have been filtered out: 5 for North America and 5 for Europe. Players can now vote on Facebook for which costumes they want to see in the game. The voting will run until July 27 at 8:59 our time. Each player has two votes: one for a costume from NA and one for one from good ole Europe.
Here’s the link to the competition.
However, news from Korea is not so good. According to 2p, the 30 servers there are soon to become 9. This will be the second major server merge since May 2013, they say.
All details about the planned West release of Blade and Soul can be found in this special. Blade & Soul is regarded as one of the MMORPG hopes for 2015 and 2016.
