Lol, my wife has been waiting on this game since the first announcement of its existence.
When is it comming out in Europe?? im not intrested ofc, its my..umm...er....sister that wants to play it

thank god for this important information!!! ffs
Well, can't say you didn't give us enough warning to run! On a side note, this could be a positive thing. More of the kids and pedos from other games will undoubtedly be attracted to HKO, and leave the other games to those sensible among us who want to chop heads in peace
This is great news, I've been in all the beta's and a lot of the US players were asking when it will finally come to them, I suppose this means Open Beta is upon us soon!!
Oh, no
A item mall game again, pay more money
