Exploring maps, discovering the world, and learning everything the game had to offer brings me strong nostalgia to this day.</div><div data-contents-type="text"><br class="ProseMirror-trailingBreak"></div><div data-contents-type="text">I remember spending hours farming world bosses, several days in a row, just to obtain their outfits from roulette drops. I would often stay up all night playing after coming home from school, go to class without sleeping, and return home eager to continue progressing my character.</div><div data-contents-type="text"><br class="ProseMirror-trailingBreak"></div><div data-contents-type="text">One of my favorite raids was undoubtedly <strong>Skybreak Spire</strong>. We spent days trying to clear it, practicing mechanics with friends, making mistakes, laughing, getting stressed, and sometimes frustrated.

What stands out?</strong></em></div><div data-contents-type="text">My first time launching Blade & Soul is almost funny to remember. I didn’t even know if the game would run properly on my computer. At the time, my setup was a Celeron E5700, a GeForce 8400 GS with 512 MB, and 8 GB of RAM. I managed to run everything on minimum settings, but I was still completely amazed by the open world and the possibilities it offered. What impressed me the most was the combat system, something I had always wanted but never found before.</div><div data-contents-type="text"></div><div data-contents-type="text"><em><strong>What’s the hardest you’ve laughed while playing?</strong></em></div><div data-contents-type="text">The moments when I laughed the most were definitely during voice calls with friends while running dungeons.

For long periods, I played every single day, always focused on farming, progressing, and learning. Interestingly, I often learned mechanics while sleeping—when I spend too much time practicing something, I dream about it and mentally train during those dreams. It may sound crazy, but it truly worked for me.</div><div data-contents-type="text"></div><div data-contents-type="text"><strong></strong></div><h2 id="" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(138, 96, 205);"><strong>◆World, Zones, & Content◆</strong></span></h2><h1 id=""></h1><div data-contents-type="text"><em><strong>What is your favorite zone in the game and why?</strong></em></div><div data-contents-type="text">My favorite zone in Blade & Soul is <strong>Dasare Palace Gardens</strong>, especially the area near the windmill. That place became special to me in a very personal way.</div><div data-contents-type="text">There were many nights when I would leave my character there while going to sleep, simply letting the ambient music play. That music deeply enchanted me—and even today, when I hear it, it brings back the same feeling.</div><div data-contents-type="text"><br class="ProseMirror-trailingBreak"></div><div data-contents-type="text">I would stare at that scenery and imagine myself living in that world, thinking about what it would be like to exist in such an incredible place full of adventures.

For many years, we asked for it, held onto hope, and continued playing despite many limitations. We even had a partial Portuguese translation at one point, which was eventually discontinued. I understand that maintaining something like this is not easy—there are many factors involved, such as infrastructure, investment, and an active player base in a specific region. Still, it’s impossible to deny that there were many active Brazilian players for many years.</div><div data-contents-type="text"><br class="ProseMirror-trailingBreak"></div><div data-contents-type="text">For a long time, we played with ping above 200, always hoping that one day we could compete on equal footing, especially in PvP, where fast skill response is essential to fully utilize a class’s potential. This was always a distant dream—and today, I know it will likely never happen within Blade & Soul.</div><div data-contents-type="text">I also tried other versions of the game.
