Ok! I mulled over the options and picked up the cheap one.
The other two seemed mostly bloated up with the n-coin purchase built in. The outfits/titles ect didn't do anything for me, so it was $70/$120 for name reservation and pre-lvled premium ranks (increase in gold drops ect), which only works with an active subscription anyhow. I would have done the second one if it was closer in cost to a normal PC game, but $70 seems a bit much.
*sliiiiides in from the void* helllooooo.
This and Tree of Savior are relevant to my future MMO interests. Probably going to be a bit of a gap between the two coming out, so I'll be sauntering on by probably closer to release and popping in during the beta.
And I agree, the $25 founders pack is the way to go.

i made a taiwan blade and soul account couple months ago and liked the game just the ping was so bad at 400 to 500 ping. i've been looking forward to getting into this game if you ever decide on a server for where we play that be awesome to play with familiar faces.
Yah! When they formally announce servers for launch next year, we'll take a better looksee at where to meet up & factions.
yikes that guy talks really fast.
anyways, seems like its something worth trying for funsies. my only concern is it may flop through the port in a Lineage 2 style. really, really hoping not, but a bad port can't be salvaged, so lets hop NCSoft has learned from past mistakes.
i could see myself giving it a try. i wanted to love the age of wushu but it was yeah...
I once tried the Russian (English patched) server for a couple of days. Haven't played much of it since it was an "Illegal Private" server and it was outdated. I did like the feel of the battles system where you got to react to the opponent for some skills. Reminds me a bit of Tera Online which I liked a lot. I'm thinking of buying the lowest pack to have access to the CB weekends. Hope it won't be a cash grab and a fail launch as some other Korean games. I really liked Tera Online where you could only buy aesthetic stuff from the store and some minor boosts. You could not "buy your way up" that much.
Tera was monthly when it first came out. when tney went free to play few items went from vendor to boxes. For the most part Tera's cash shop and ftp system is awesome.
If you pay for the monthy sub you get free ports around via a book and can do 2x the dailies and get other boosts but nothing that can not got by ftp ppl.
