[p]Hello Crickets,[/p][p][/p][p]Our Blade & Soul 10th Anniversary is fast approaching and it’s time to start preparing with one of several events planned to celebrate! Over the past ten years, Blade & Soul has become more than a game to many players, shaped by shared experiences, long nights, and memories that still stick with us. Rivalries, friendships, and unforgettable moments have helped define not just the world of the game, but the community that formed around it, both in and out of game.[/p][p]To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of our Blade & Soul Universe, we’re launching a weekly Player Spotlight interview series. Through these spotlights, we’ll share stories and experiences from players who helped shape different moments in the game’s long history and left their mark along the way.[/p][p]
