    This game was something I played a lot back when I was younger, I think it was more popular in my country than it was in Korea tbh. I was really bummed out when KOG killed it, but it's coming back this August!!! :aww::aww::aww:

    I think everyone will probably have lost their old data, so we'd have to restart from scratch, but... Who cares!? GC is back! \(^^)/

    ... And well, I'm glad that they decided to do more than just the gacha with this IP... That gacha was such a disappointment... T.T

    ... I wonder if I'll be able to play it with people from other countries while still keeping the dub the one I'm used to... Don't wanna play the game in English... >.>
    Oh well, might be a necessary sacrifice~

    :blobwoah:

    What's Grand Chase again? Is it that Elsword clone I hear everyone talking about?

    I'm excited to play for the first time since I didn't got the chance to play before it being discontinued.

    It's literally just a minecraft clone.

    That's what kids are saying these days right?

    I think it will be! ^^)/

    And now I'll finally read the story, because it was changed like, 5x or something, so at some point I just gave up on following the story~

    Oh yeah, Elsword was the spiritual successor of Grand Chase~

    AFAIK, it did better than GC in pretty much every country... Except mine. Over here nobody plays Elsword, but tons and tons of people played GC... >.>

    We even had a dedicated private server for GC that was created after the game was shut down, and they even had actual dedicated developers to update the game... It's still live to this day and still receives updates regularly... >.>

    Well, I guess it might die now that Grand Chase is coming back though~

    Yeah, the game's balance was horrible in PVE, though it was still pretty decent in PVP~

    Why did the system requirements for this game like that? I remember I used to play this game with a potato almost 10 years ago. I don't think my HP notebook can run this.

    I guess it got a graphics update or something.

    The overall requirements are still enough for my 10 years old laptop to run though, so I think they didn't raise much.

    I've read the reviews. Is it as bad as they say it is?

    It's not, people are complaining way too much.

    Things that changed that I noticed:
    1. Damage output of most characters, especially their 3rd skills, was lowered.
    2. Damage output of most mobs seems to have increased to some extent. Though it's still pretty manageable.
    3. Most mid-combo dodge skills were removed.
    4. Only 4 characters atm, though more are coming.
    5. The last continent is currently Xenia. More are coming later, but they're probably going to change the storyline of the later continents.
    And uhn... That's basically it, I think. Pretty much everything else is basically the same it was before.

    There are a handful of bugs, but they're being patched quite quickly as they are discovered.

    There were also some issues logging in because the servers were overloaded, but they already got more servers.

    If there is any complaint I could make about the game in its current form, is that Elesis' damage seems even lower than it was before, and she has always been one of the weakest (quite possibly the weakest) character in the game. I'm hoping she'll get buffed though.

    So like... If you liked old GC, you hardly have anything to complain about the game in its current form. It's basically the same for the most part, and they're working on actively improving it.

    Also...

    As you can see here (this was from the 2nd day the game was live, IIRC), the game currently has a huge playerbase as well, and I think that kinda speaks for itself in how good the game is. Regardless of bad reviews, the playerbase being so excited means that the game is in a pretty healthy state IMO~

    Overall, I'm having loads of fun playing, so I'd recommend giving it a shot~
