I expected Mushin to be the most populated server because it was the name of the server from beta, but I didn't expect over 50%. Good luck to those without premium! Queues would be several hours long probably.

It's better to deal with a queue every now and then for the first month than it is to deal with playing on a completely empty server.

If those figures are accurate, even those with Master Packs will likely have queues of several hours.

Dumb questions :

I've seen in some videos that one player killed an enemy, and then wings erupted from their back. Was a NA beta video, not korean. What the hell was that and why did it happen?

Also, what party buffs do the various classes actually have? I tried looking through the bnstool side skill tree thing but I can't really decipher it. I'm interested in party support mostly.

That was probably the level up animation.

There isn't really a support class. Each class brings a different flavor of utility. KFM, BM and SMN (via the pet) can tank and keep mobs off squishier party members. Des, KFM, FM, and BD all have holds that allows the party extra and uninterrupted damage on a boss. Sin and SMN can give party stealth. Des and BD are really good at solo CC.

You're going to be playing a damage dealer first and foremost in this game, all you can do is decide what kind of utility you want to bring to the table.

I'm getting a failure to connect to the server when I try and login and do a name reservation (I know, I should have done it sooner). Do they have them down in prep for the launch in a few hours? Not really a huge deal, just kind curious if I'm having some weird connectivity issue I didn't have during the beta.

According to yesterday's stream, the Currency Exchange will not be available at launch. So you won't be able to exchange NCoins for gold or gold for hongmoon coins. They want to give the economy a chance to stabilize before they enable it again, no ETA other than "at a later date".

edit: to clarify, you can still get hongmoon coins from venture tokens

For a game as low-ping reliant as BnS, a megaserver would cause it's own unenviable set of problems.

Also don't forget to re-apply your founders pack codes in ncsoft account management. Even if you did it during beta you have to do it again.

The first step is to punch a thing, and then follow up by punching the thing next to it. Repeat until all things in the world are punched.

Okay, maybe I'm not used to these games but are 45 minute wait times common?
500 people in front of me. I'm assuming it's a launch day anomaly. If I'm going to be waiting like this every day, I'm moving to a low-pop server or not playing at all.

You have no idea. The wait times when ArcheAge was released were 4-6 hours. It was literally insane. People were opening the client remotely on their computers at 2pm so they'd be logged in by the time they got home from work.

Today is opening day for BnS, anything under two hours doesn't sound crazy to me.

If you bought a founders pack (which I assume you did since you're trying to play today) just log into your NC soft account and find the Blade and Soul section and there will be a button to automatically apply the code from your purchase to get whatever rewards it grants you. You can do this while logged in and it should just grant you everything instantly.
