I'm creating this petetition because I think it's the perfect time to tell NCsoft what to do with Blade & Soul for the west. Most of us know what happened to other games which were censored to death. All those real fans, that followed the game since the development, felt in rage and after many other mistakes a huge amount of the playerbase left. I'm not saying that it is the fault of the censorship but censorship is the basement for those reactions. We want to play what this game was meant to be not a Hello Kitty version.
At the moment everyone is complaining about the censorship at the official Facebook page of Blade & Soul.
If that call doesn't wake you up and tells you what to do I hope the petition will. There is no need to change the looks because of westernization. Please don't censor anything in the game! Don't do the same mistake with Blade & Soul. Leave it as it was designed. Make the game 16+, 17+ or 18+ if the content doesn't fit 12+. The reason for this petition is this Screen: Screen
They already censored the debut trailer for EU/NA.
Trailer: Video
It would be a huge mistake if you ignore your first community ever. If you ignore the hope of the majority. If you do it like many other publishers that doesn't give a fukc about their community.
It's not to late to change your plans. NCsoft, please, listen to your community.
If you are against censorship in Onlinegames or if you want to play Blade & Soul NA/EU like it looked like in Korea, please sign this petition.
-Thanks.

Ich habe diese Petition eröffnet, da ich denke, dass die der perfekte Zeitpunkt ist, um NCsoft die Meinung zu Blade & Soul und der Zensur zu sagen.
Viele von uns wissen, was mit Spielen passiert ist, die beinahe bis zum Tode zensiert wurden. Die echten Fans, welche das Spiel seit Anfang an verfolgt hatten, haben die Geduld verloren und haben dem Spiel nach und nach den Rücken zugewandt. Ich gebe nicht der Zensur die Schuld für massive Spielerverluste, doch sie ist ein Grund wieso eine derartige Verunsicherung auftritt. Wir wollen Blade & Soul so spielen, wie es in Korea designed wurde, nicht eine Hello Kitty Version.
Im Moment beschwert sich jeder auf der offiziellen Facebook Seite über die Zensur und es wird nicht besser werden.
Wenn euch das nicht die Augen öffnet dann hoffe ich doch sehr, dass es diese Petition tun wird. Lasst das Spiel so wie es ist und stuft es ggf. 16+ oder 18+ ein. Man muss es nicht in das 12+ Rating reinquetschen. Bitte zensiert das Spiel nicht nur wegen der Westernisierung!
Der Grund wieso ich diese Petition gestartet habe ist folgender: Screen
Es wurde bereits mit der Zensur begonnen, siehe Debut Trailer zum NA/EU Release: Video
Es wäre ein riesen Fehler wenn ihr eure Community ignoriert. Wenn ich den Wunsch der Mehrheit ignoriert. Wenn ihr es genauso wie andere Publisher anstellt und einfach einen Scheiß auf die Meinung eurer Community gebt.
Es ist nicht zu spät um eure Pläne zu ändern. NCsoft, bitte, hört auf eure Community!
Wenn ihr gegen Zensur in Onlinespielen seid oder wenn ihr Blade & Soul so genießen wollt, wie es in Korea vorgesehen war, bitte unterschreibt die Petition.
-Danke.

I am currently preparing a formal letter to NCsoft management detailing the specific instances of trailer and model censorship identified so far. This document will be sent once we finish compiling the remaining evidence of localization changes that deviate from the original game design.
September 23, 2012
The current level of traction has secured a formal meeting with a community outreach representative at NCsoft. We are finalizing our presentation of the requested design documents to ensure our position on localization is clear.

Censor Blade and Soul NA and watch it lose money ... MONEY! LISTEN TO THE MONEY!
Please do not censor blade and soul, Believe me I played the Korean version of the game and I absolutely love the art style and the style of the characters. I do not want the characters to be covered in what looks like black plastic. Keep the game the way it's meant to be. Skin and All. The censors in the Chinese Version looks terrible and i really DO NOT appreciate Any form of Censorship. We are all adults here, lets act like it.
Do NOT censor this game. If you do, millions of dollars in revenue will be lost as blade and soul is based on martial arts, and gritty sexual appeal.
I wanted to play this game BECAUSE of how it looked in Korea. Something brave, bold, unapologetic, and visually stunning down to the most minute detail. While I'm female and would possibly play it anyway, the censorship truly looks TERRIBLE. I would rather have more skin showing and feel a little shy than have fake pieces of paint all over my skin that makes it look like I got attacked by a vat of spray-on tanner. It's ugly, hideous, and a huge turn-off to the game. Give the NA market the Korean version, trust me we're adult enough to handle it.
We live in the EU for god sake, where nudity in this level is absolutely nothing for anyone so please leave the game as it is from the Korean Servers. Nochmal auf Deutsch. Last das Spiel so wie es auf den Koreanischen Servern ist. Dieses mass an Freizügigkeit ist für Europa nix besonderes, man siehe nur Tera und würde uns mehr bringen wen es vorhanden were als wen es weggenommen wird da ein teil des Spiels damit auch dan fehlt. Last es so wie es in Korea ist bitte.
let the game be as it meant to be.no censoring!
Please do not censor blade and soul

I was really looking forward to Blade and Soul. But I refuse to support the butchered game that we are being given in it's place. I have no intention to play the game unless it is restored to normal.
