Yup SEA is going to start in first or second week of May(not 1st of may exact), and it will have events u could only dream of in US version, like player tournaments (winner getting +9 item for his class/lvl, maybe exp, gold, better drop, etc). Item mall will have new items like, 500hp adds, 10%demi adds,single stat change, and i doubt it will be 10 books to G the skill(it would make the game to easy, right?). Also like Bozo suggested, all updates won't be implemented at once, they will be added every 2,3 weeks. A lot of exp, double drop, gold events, not bugged wars every 2 weeks i guess(after every war u ll actually have reward here), etc...
Anyway i m looking forward to this and i can't wait till it starts

And btw, no one else signed death punishment to metin2.us but our one and only GM crew, by turning their heads away from deeds of "white bears"(we all know who r "white bears" of metin2.us)
