I was expecting some kitchy Japanese "Tales of Pirates" type theme (although the characters do have the anime look the boats are ok) but going by the intro video it's looking quite serious and dare I say...fun!?
Following the recent announcement at E3, that <Uncharted Waters[sup]TM[/sup] Online>(THE “UWOâ€Â) is finally coming to the West, publisher CJ Internet today, are excited to announce that the closed beta test site is open.
