Blade and Soul will soon receive new raids. To ensure that as many players as possible can experience these raids, servers will be merged. It starts in August. Additionally, a new class will soon be added to the game and there will be eSports events as well.
The Kung-Fu MMORPG Blade & Soul will soon receive the new updates “Cloudy Water” and “Origin of Darkness”. These updates will include new story quests, as well as new dungeons and even raids. But what to do if no raid can form on the server because there are too few players?
Blade & Soul – Server Consolidation due to Raids
To keep the servers of Blade & Soul well populated, the developers at NCSoft plan to merge the existing realms in August.
This means that starting August 9, EU players will be distributed to the realms Jinsoyun, Eisenherz, and Naksun.
In the USA, there will only be Yura and Zulia as servers from then on. NCSoft will provide details about the server merge at a later time. In the comments and forums, the players are divided.
Some welcome the server consolidations and hope for a more stable population. Others see the game dying. The game has consistently lost players since its launch. However, according to other opinions, this is completely normal and no cause for concern.
eSports Championships at Gamescom and PAX West
Furthermore, soon bigger eSports championships will take place in Blade & Soul:
- On August 24, the EU Regional Championship will be held at GamesCom
- On September 3, the North American Regional Championship will take place at PAX West
All this information comes from an open letter by Producer Jonathan Lien. In it, he also announces a new class but does not mention which one it is. It likely revolves around the new Maestro class.
