NCSOFT announced today that its highly anticipated MMORPG, Blade & Soul, has reached a milestone of more than one million people playing the game. Blade & Soul managed to hit this milestone in less than a week, as it was released in the West on January 19th. Do note, however, that the game was already available in Korea and China, something that definitely helped the game reach its “one million players” milestone.
Dr. Songyee Yoon, CEO of NCSOFT West, said:
“At NCSOFT, we are committed to providing our players an extraordinary experience across all of our games. It is thrilling that so many people are excited about the arrival of Blade & Soul in the West, and we will continue to work tirelessly to make sure our amazing players have a great time in this epic game.”
As the press release reads, in the coming months, players can expect a regular cadence of content updates and patches to further enhance gameplay and the overall Blade & Soul experience.
John Burns, Senior Vice President of Publishing at NCSOFT West, concluded:
“The sheer enthusiasm – not to mention volume – of North American and European players that have jumped into Blade & Soul since launch has been tremendous. Blade & Soul is one of the most exciting games for Western players in 2016.”

i might give it a try. i hope its not another disappointment like gw2
what are you saying? gw2 might the best mmo right now.
For everything expect PvP yeah. 3 years now , 3 years they can’t fix Ranger’s Pet AI which is exact the same as a mob’s AI and they used it as a placeholder then the game wasn’t released yet
The only disappointment GW2 has is it’s DX9 still …. I been playing the game since Beta.. But hey to each his own.
Probably cause of the jiggle physics for the boobs.
tried to download, but their client is garbage, constantly crashes and disconnect, is anyone else having this problem?
nope
Strange, haven’t had that problem and I’m on Windows 10 by the way.
the same here nasty client if they released it on steam i will download it but iam just dreaming they will never do that
No problems here and playing since Beta. I mean servers go down a few times because of the stress but thats it.
Well of course Black Desert does it better since its a newer game and all.
“Also didn’t understand the hype for B&S since the Russian version of that game was available for ages” Because people including myself have been waiting 8 years for the game to be released in the USA.
You compare the Russian version of the game which was like Alpha 0.9 compared to the current one which with a few patches is going to be 3.0 lol.
Also the Russian server was P2W with those Legendaries and tons of skills were broken.
Too bad the game was such a huge disappointment. I was so hyped for it too. Sadly its one of those games where you think “if i grind long enough ill have fun at some point”
