Thanks for all the great info. I have been waiting a long time to play this game, and i hope in 2013 (early) we can all start. I currently live in Japan, but want an english version of the game so i can play. I can't speak/read Korean, and my Japanese is not strong enough to play a game like this by guessing.

So thanks again. :study:

From Wikipedia:

Recently, HTK (Hyung-tae Kim) was interviewed by one the NCSOFT staff. HTK has stated that an english version of the game will be released sometime in 2014. However, NCSOFT has not published any updates or news on the project since December 5, 2012.

I'm actually glad NCsoft is biding their time with the western release of this game. There's too much of an influx of MMOs in the industry; that throwing B&S into the mix could potentially have an underwhelming impact (for the game and business wise).
