The open beta of Bless introduces a new zone. Players must defeat a goblin army while also holding their own in PvP.
Between the Fronts Against a Third Enemy
The Korean MMORPG Bless is currently in open beta. However, instead of just fixing bugs and polishing the gameplay, Bless will release a new zone in the coming days. The fresh area is designed for players level 45 and is located exactly between the two warring factions “Union” and “Hieron”. The forested area is largely devastated by battles but has attracted many creatures and smaller world bosses to the region – which is why players should be in a group of at least 3 if they don’t want to meet their demise regularly.
Story-wise, the main goal of this zone is to prevent the goblins from creating a powerful army – and this is where player characters are called in as mercenaries. This also leads to more encounters with players from the opposing faction – while fighting the monsters, players might find themselves ambushed. Caution and awareness are more important than ever.
A few boss monsters have already been introduced. These include gigantic mantises and – as one would more commonly expect from a JRPG – the clichéd “slime”.
Bless is currently in open beta, but only in Korea. So far, there are no fixed plans for a Western release, though a fan site claims to know concrete goals for this.
