There's a lot more going on in their design and I'm doubting they're just 26 letters for the sake of easy conversion and recognition.

For korean thats exactly the case, they are groups of letters, its not like Kanji or Chinese, which is why it's considered one of the easier east asian languages. IIRC you start from the upper right and work your way left, then down.

If you look at the korean alphabet:

You can see that each word is broken up into consonants and vowels just like in English. If I remember right Korean also has something similiar to Kanji for words though.

Go read the wiki, you'll see that korean has tons of loanwords, which most are from English so there's lots of cognates to help you remember stuff.

Edit: If you aren't big into linguistics the IPA, is the system we use to write sounds.

**Kaisha** · 2011-03-21 15:09

Looks similar to katakana but broken down further so less characters are needed to be memorized.

@Fenux, Is your guild open invite? I rolled a char this morning before I had to go to class. Im still planning on making a few chars to see what I like but after I've made up my mind could I get an invite?

**Foxer** · 2011-03-21 15:35

Yeah np. Send Foxer a whisper.

**SilverBreeze** · 2011-03-21 15:42

I honestly don't know why they even went through the effort to put male characters in a game like this. I don't think I've seen a single one in all my game time.

I love you.

That's where graphics come into play. I said it. For all the haters that say graphics are nothing, you've always been so very wrong. Any game is enhanced by graphics, no matter how good it currently is.

The females in this game simply look too good. Better than any MMO that's out, and coming out.

Quite a shame that there aren't many males here. Excluding the Popori male race, there's probably a total of 30% males, from what I can see. It's a damn shame, too.

Armor on all 5 male classes, more specifically plate/leather, looks rather breathtaking.

Which side is the front of that Baraka? lawl And why put the Amani in a robe? For shame.

**Foxer** · 2011-03-21 17:08

: )

I've been standing in front of a instance entrance yesterday and I've seen plenty of male characters.

**Foxer** · 2011-03-21 17:08

Game is bound to be a porn show once it hits the states.

**Cichy** · 2011-03-21 17:15

gotta love castanics

They have to fix that leg thing. Every once in a while, the legs crunch up and it looks funny, like that Castanic. : (

Here's a SS of a higher lvl BAM, I'm 27 now. Although it looks like an easter egg it's brutal.
