If you’ve wondered what Bless Online’s PvP is like, Steparu.com can give you a peek in the Korean open beta. Upon reaching level 30, players begin questing with the enemy faction in open PvP areas. And by open we mean in towns as well as out in the wild; there are no safe zones, and players are always flagged for faction PvP. Higher-level characters also have full access to the area, so ganking does occur. At least you get a little warning: If you see someone coming at you with ??? in place of a name, you’ll know s/he is 10 levels above you. Not surprisingly, group questing becomes much more common at this point. For a look at how it plays out, check out the gameplay footage below.
A few other tidbits Steparu gleaned about PvP include the existence of an item that makes you immune to PK for 10 minutes, you can choose to revive at a resurrection point with a temporary debuff or run back to your body to avoid it, certain towns have guards that will attack players engaged in PvP, and you get actual XP for killing players. On top of that, the 100v100 battlegrounds are only open twice a day. Once you’re inside, your level will scale to 45.
