Since the opening to up until now,Scions of Fate has logged more than 35 million users and even now has more than 600,000 concurrent online users in Asia. Why is the game so popular? I think you can get the answer from this interview.

MMOsite.com: Before getting into the heart of the questions, can you introduce yourself first, what is your role in the Scions of Fate team and what attracted you to join the team?

Samuel Kim: Hi, my name is Samuel Kim, and I

m the manager of Game Services with MGame USA. When it comes to the Scions of Fate project, I am the current acting Project Manager for the U.S. release. What attracted me to Scions of Fate (besides fate in itself) is my excitement for releasing a game in the U.S. of SoF

s caliber. It has accumulated over 70 million users worldwide, with concurrent users breaking over 600,000 players. It

s a great game.

MMOsite.com: Can you give us the overview of Scions of Fate in your own words? Is this game oriented to casual gamers or the hardcore audience?

Samuel Kim: Scions of Fate is what we call a casual action MMORPG. While the user interface and game systems are easy to pick up and fun to play, the game-play is deeper than one would normally think. The primary focus of the game isn

t to cater to one particular type of gamer over another (hardcore vs. casual), but rather to combine the two with a game focused on partying and community-building. What does that mean for our players? Simple! To fully enjoy the deeper aspects of the game, it is much easier to find a friend, buddy up, and go party!! Also, I

d like to add that we

ll continually be adding content and events throughout the service of Scions of Fate catering to both casual and hardcore audiences.

MMOsite.com: Can you have a brief review of the development process of Scions of Fate in the past few years?

Samuel Kim: I

m not exactly sure what you mean when you ask for a review of the development process over the past few years, but I¡¯ll try to answer what I think you

re asking for. While Scions of Fate has been released close to 2 years, there have been several changes to the game including a new pet system, an archer class, a new PvP system, and many many items and quests. It has been serviced all across the Asian market from China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, and Taiwan (and now...we

re bringing it to the State!). For every country it

s been serviced in, Scions of Fate manifests itself in different ways, and we

re excited to see how it forms itself in the U.S.
