The Korean MMORPG Bless will soon only have two servers.
From a distance, it is hard to say what is going on with Bless. But the MMORPG produced with a lot of effort by Neowiz will soon undergo its second server merger in a few months. The first time it was said in February that they were switching to “Mega-Servers” for better balance.
After the first merger, there were still 10 servers left. Now it is going down to 2 servers. This is supposed to happen on June 8.
These are certainly not great news for a newly launched MMORPG in Korea, about which surprisingly little is heard. Already after the last open beta, there were warning signs. Apparently, they were not satisfied with the feedback from testers and pushed Bless back into development.
A Western port was recently confirmed. Aeria Games is supposed to take over Bless Online in the USA and Europe. Then the number of servers globally might increase again.
