Why west over Kr?

Genuine question, why did GameZ choose to link their private server to the western release of the game? And will they ever surpass the Na/Eu version in terms of content? One of the main reasons why I stopped playing the retail version of the game was because Kakao was always behind by months of content. It was annoying to see these new updates to the Korean version and knowing that Kakao would just sit on their hands for months on end.

I know that if they were to pull content from the Korean version then it would require more work. But, I would also think that would pay off because it would attract more western players who want to play the latest content.

 

Ease of access. The devs don't really have much power over the client at this time, and don't have the manpower or time to write their own. Running the kr client might be possible, but requires a lot of work and backend changes in the client. If you can find someone with the time to make a proper english patch, then we might be able to do that. That, or their servers are incompatible with the kr client.
