I just saw this at the Nexon homepage... I ask you, what other MMORPG
would do this? The answer unfortuately is none.

"Bard's Tunes - This is a roleplaying skill that will allow bards to
play notes for others to hear. There are 6 notes in total, how they are
played is up to the player. Bards will also get to play complete wedding
tunes with this skill."

I mean, a skill purely for roleplaying? They already have a theatric
company and a scene, so I bet they will now begin to have live music
performances by players for other players there as well.

Again, no other game even comes close.
