Hello, this is BLACK STIGMA.

Testers in the East Asia region, which ended on October 16th,
expressed their disappointment over the end of the test.

Accordingly, our development team reviewed
whether existing East Asia region testers could also be accommodated in
the ongoing Southeast Asia region.

Given the capabilities of our current game server,
we believe that East Asian testers can also be accommodated,
[color]so starting from 12 (KST, UTC+9) on the Oct. 21th,
we plan to expand the current testing scope from Southeast Asia to regions including East Asia. [/color]

For the existing region classification plan,
please refer to the 'Service Region Table'
Testers who fall under the 'East Asia Region' in the region classification
are also We would like to inform you that you can participate in
the ongoing ‘Southeast Asia Region’.

We hope that testers from more regions will come together and enjoy various styles of battle together.

And in particular, the valuable feedback provided by East Asian testers who previously played BLACK STIGMA was reflected in this version.

We hope that this will be an opportunity to re-verify the quality of the game compared to East Asian services.

Thank you.
