    Haha, that's sure a good step to get more exploits revealed and push the min max to a new level, especiallly for pvp.

    Have fun fight them.

    They will operate the game? Does this mean Russia will get its own servers?

    This is cool news!

    Hey @DarkStarr, maybe there should be a Blacksun cloak to celebrate! They have a pretty cool symbol.

    It would violate our community guidelines, because of this. ;)

    Note that I'm not implying the publisher is Neonazi. Just making a tongue in cheek comment about our community guidelines ;)

    The Koreans and other Asians are also really great PvP players. I had a Russian Sect within "The Fellowship" guild of Siege Perilous and they were GREAT! They said the F word allot, but were fantastic friends, fighters and quest puzzle solvers. My best Russian player friend of mine solved that shard's first quest ever given within a 26 hour period from when it opened. Russian players in general will always have my respect because they seem to have qualities which cause them to stand out in excellence of creativity and fun. Truly a PvP+ minded community!

    @Stundorn

    Their branding does appear influenced by Germanic neopaganism at least, though ;) Next to the Black Sun symbol, you have the text "Blacksun" composed of refigured Germanic runes. I wouldn't read too much into that and prejudge the publisher, though there are some obvious political connections even going on today in Europe.

    @redfish no I understand that, but if things like this come up i tend to make a statement!
    I did some Viking Larp and someday there was a new player with a swastika template braid and a big discussion about that came up.
    I spoke to him and he clearly and honestly explained he even don't get it and was absolutely no racist or Neonazi.
    Wasn't against him wearing his tunic with that braid, but the majority forced him to get rid of that tunic or at least the braid and use another one, and so he did.
    When I was in China many times, nearly every 3rd or 4th taxidriver had a swastika symbol at his rearview mirror.
    Symbols aren't the big problem, education it is and a lack of love, patience and humility in the world.

    Great questions about the servers and add-on store! We are still working through these and will iron out exactly how Black Sun manages their side in the future. For the moment, we are focusing on localization services with them.

    Also, let's be friends here, this is not the time to poke fun at logos or suggest our partners are involved in questionable groups. The Black Sun team are wonderful people and are working hard with us to help grow the game!

    Greetings dear friends!

    I speak on behalf of Black Sun Game Publishing as one of its founders.
    I declare that our company and our team don't have any connections with nazis, neo-nazis or racism monstrous ideology.
    Our symbol and logo are only romantic fantasy sign of wisdom and perception.

    Best Regards,
    Nikita V. Ivanov
