From what I gather, it is another, boring, crappy, generic Korean MMORPG.
MSL seems to be getting desperate
Another crappy MMO sponsors MSL.

This OSL and MSL sponsors are kinda bleh. Seems like MBC was originally going after http://www.boram.com/ (huge Korean company), but why did they go with these guys... | ||

Not really, but I'm not too keen on how this sounds "2009 Lost Saga MSL" | ||

From ID_eNTITY's page on Wikipedia: iD_ᴇNTITY or Yureka (유레카) is a manhwa series created by Son Hee-joon in collaboration with Kim Youn-kyung and distributed by Tokyopop in North America. The series centers around the main character Jang-Gun and his friends along with their virtual reality avatars in the computer game world called "Lost Saga". There are 34 volumes right now (and still coming out), eleven of them have been released in the United States and 26 in France. [Emphasis added] Coincidence?????? | ||

"huhuhu, really?" "진짜네 ㅋㅋ" "Really? Haha" "보람상조가 되야 되는데" either "boram ran away" or "they ran away from boram" I think? If I'm not mistaken, even the netizens are underwhelmed. | ||

Also i think they are played differently, than most in the west. They play it with friends, and they smoke, in pc bangs and stuff. So thats why they are usually pretty simple or "grindy". Since they are like socializing while they are playing it, and just haveing some simple fun. I'm not 100% correct my info is true but still. Lost saga seems to be pretty original though, nice very colorful graphics at least. I hope they push it to europe too so i can check it out =D I want to see a McDonalds msl. =D That would be funny. | ||

Korean MMO companies have a rough time recently because lots of new titles are doing as well as the market expected. Industry leaders such as NCSoft experienced game shutdown and laid-off in 2008. Anyway, I wouldn't mind if we have a Nexon MSL or Aion MSL soon. | ||
