Anyone else heard of this one, still in production, about at the testing stage I think.

Korean SANDBOX MMO, with the freedom of UO it seems, rather than being Quest Driven. Westernized version is planned. Looks visually impressive and is getting very good feedback.

Also lotsa Youtube vids etc worth looking at showing gameplay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzxGcY-y0J0

Things I've seen and liked, mounts that stay ingame when you dismount (never liked the bag o horse concept), house building on the spot, player town building, scenery that actively falls apart if you hit it (bridges, dungeon walls etc), farming.

Admittedly I have a very soft spot for UO gameplay and the sandbox freedom that gives, however korean mmos are notorious for grinding so who knows. UO was a grind I guess, but only if you made it so rather than just enjoying the game. If this is indeed UO with a cryengine, I'm very interested indeed.

Looks a bit like ddo with different graphics... although ddo is more quest based...
Anyway, I think I got enough of Asian mmo's after Aion and FF ...
