Yesterday was the annual Winter LOAON event held in South Korea to celebrate Lost Ark’s impressive feats over the last year, and to take a look at what Smilegate has in the future for the MMORPG, specifically going into 2025.
This is always one of the most anticipated events for Lost Ark as it features huge announcements and exciting gifts for fans (usually for Korea only), and this year was a bit of a hit or miss for some people. On one hand, it features a good number of quality of life improvements that will help new and returning players, but on the other hand, there were some expectations that were not met.
New Classes: Wild Soul and Female Paladin
By far the biggest announcements of the evening were the two new classes. This basically kicked off the show with Director Jae-Hak Jeon announcing Wild Soul, a Druid-esque class where you can transform into an adorable fox or comical bear.
On paper this sounds amazing, as a Druid class is just what Lost Ark needs. But unfortunately, while a lot of players were expecting a character such as Danaka to be the perfect model to base this class...
