La Tale has been in this stagnation period for quite a while already, except only in NA apparently. The other versions are still updating but La Tale NA is VERY behind. OGPlanet's localization team has always been crap for it though. La Tale is FULL of grammatical errors/Google translates. You can tell after a certain update that they lost their team, or at least the better members of their team because after a certain point the localization just took a massive dump on itself. Players have been hoping to get the game's ''latest'' (NA is so behind it's missing a major revamp as well as many other content updates. It apparently still needs two content updates BEFORE the revamp comes) revamp for over a year already I think with no word from OGP at all except, ''When it's coming we'll tell you''. I think it's been something more like two years but I don't keep track of that anymore.

In a way, I'm kind of relieved PangYa went to Ntreev/SGI after OGPlanet could no longer handle it.

LaTale is so beautiful, too..

I ended up heading over to the La Tale forums out of curiousity, just to see if they were as bad off as Trickster was. The end result? An endless downpour of topics complaining about the location change of its servers. They'll now be in the east coast as opposed to the west, apparently resulting in a severe impact to the quality of gameplay for those who reside in the west. The forums in general suggest a situation very similar to what I saw at the Trickster boards.

Oh, that, and the updates look to be nothing more than "Here's some new cash shop stuff, so pineapple you".

They've replaced the weak GMs of the past and got about 3 new GMs about 6-7 months that surprisingly communicate much better with players through forums.

They just made a massive move from the west coast to the east coast which pissed off a LOT of west coasters. They claim they're actively trying to improve conditions though for the west coast, as they're still working with the new hardware they just got.

Season 2 IS the next planned update and they've already made an teasing facebook post. A GM at one point has commented one of the reasons S2 may take longer is translation which they CLAIM will be better than what the old teams have done.

Other little things include verifiable cases of GAs feedback actually getting through and increasing super puzzle availability and revamping ladeck to have less useless crap. Basically, though the game is far from perfect, I'm witnessing a greater GM presence and i can kinda tell OGP is at least investing somewhat into preparing for Season 2. Given that they actually took the time/money to move the servers i don't think they're ready to drop it just yet.

Time will tell if they're actually gonna make this worth the wait though... and making an entire west coast playerbase angry.
