lol they r like ok we have reached 10,000 likes release day set for 2050!

[Ouriel]

Ugh, I hate when someone is forcing(not in a way of forcing you, but asking/telling you to like) you to like just so you can see something or like Nexon is doing, "Like if you want to see the release date", hell, I don't like when someone is telling me to like something, I will do that on my will.

I hate facebook for one reason, and that's the insane amount of stupid groups, it's not facebook, but more of a groupbook.

I'd be very interested to see if they actually go through with this. At the rate MMORPG games gain 'likes' on FB, we could be waiting a while!

[cinderboy]

sigh, i wish mmo companies stop doing this crap.

just show us some teasers over the weeks leading up to the launch and that will please everyone.

or even hold an event making us guess, with the ones correct about the month getting into CBT, everyone will largely be happy.

this facebook thing is just lazy marketing.

diablo 3's ice cracking teaser was one of the best.

Lazy but smart. The 'like' feature is a great way of marketing a product virally and if you have an incentive for people to 'like' that product, you're laughing. The fact of the matter is, this will gain them 10,000 'fans' who have alerted their friends they are eagerly awaiting Dragon Nest.

I bet marketers in the 60's, 70's and even 90's are turning in their, albeit early, graves.

[cinderboy]

Smart on their side, but how will gamers who have been waiting for months feel?

Dragon Nest, luckily, is in a unique situation where there are actually no games of similar style available or releasing in the same period (Global wise, screw Vindictus' IP block).

Hope they actually had this in mind before using the "like" marketing tactic.

[Jayz]

Considering it says "Global" and it being published by "Nexon" I'm slightly on edge... But that's not what has put me off.

I played this a while back on my lappy and it's a very good game. The fluidity of the graphics is edible. The gameplay is somewhat decent despite the little I played of it. Then the lappy died... Twice!

I was hoping my desktop which is a lower spec than the lappy would save grace if ever it would be released... Until the upgraded graphics card died on me too reverting to the one the desktop originally came with. I don't really have the funds to splash out on a new machine which would be my next investment so I should miss this along with others.

The "like" feature for FB is basically free advertisement. It's usually generated by genuine interested people. It's a good way to spread the work no matter how tiny the number of likes are in comparison to the FB populous. Nothing really wrong in it.

EDIT: To add... THE SIGNUP WANTS MY IDENDITY NUMBER?!?!?!

The publisher of DN Global is CherryCredits, not Nexon. If im not wrong, Nexon's DN is only for NA players right?

[neothaka]

no doubt, since the eu vindictus was supposed to come "this winter" (anno 2010). They never managed to update the frontpage

Because Nexon is ran by assholes.

DN Global is not publish by Nexon T_T

[malfion]

Man I hate this stupid facebook marketing shit it's so damn annoying.

So if they don't get 10,000 people what they gonna do push back the the date.

I mean eventually they are gonna have to tell us so say it straight forward.

They're like the worms. Except in our case, we don't have tendou souji(or Zect) or D-D-D-D-DECADE.

[Acreon]

I'm personally looking forward to this a lot.
I'm jsut hoping the CS isn't broken.

if you want to look different in this game you have to buy cash shop clothes

[The Great Beyond]

if you want to look different in this game you have to buy cash shop clothes

CS clothes is not a problem for me. The problem is if these CS clothes have stats on them or an overpowered amount of stats on them.

Overpowered weapons that are only CS accessible, etc, etc. This is what will/does turn me off from these free mmo's.

Another 2.5k Likes and CherryCredits shall reveal the CBT date!
Btw have you guys register the CBT yet?

[Groteske]

It's looking like we'll mostly have to worry about the hosts.
*sigh* please don't let this bomb =s=

The hosts? Nexon is hosting in NA isn't it? I actually like them! Do I like most of their games? No. But eh their cash shop is usually fair, and I like usually fair.

oh yea =D! i forgot about that haha. I just went to check n found this

Thanks for the clarification Cudi +1 rep

New Zealand? Australia? Such different time zones compared to NA. And wow the 17th? So close! Well not incredibly close but at least they're not teasing us too much.

[Syn0]

I don`t think they will let such an awesome game to fail (10k likes on facebook in such short time is something which means alot of players are hyped about this).
Let`s hope they will do their best :>

[Jayz]

You know Australians can play in the Nexon Dragon Nest CBT, it's not IP blocked for us so you don't have to play the Global server.



That is if you didn't know already.

So can players from these countries (besides NA) play after CBT?
Many games allowed foreign players to test their betas in order to hit the maximum no. of players in order to test their stability system. When they hit open beta, they just announce that only NA or Europe players are able to play due to license blah blah
