Classes remain largely gender-locked along traditional lines (male warriors and berserkers, female mages and assassins), with female characters designed in an overtly attractive, revealing style that drew criticism from outlets like Kotaku for heels, animations, and outfits—precisely the opposite of activist-driven changes. Character creation uses standard male/female options with no pronoun selectors, body-type swaps, or nonbinary elements.

Western publisher Amazon Games made minor localization adjustments, such as lengthening some female skirts or adding shorts underneath for the Artist class and altering select NPC skin tones for greater diversity, but these are superficial and do not alter the core premise or add activist framing. No evidence exists of LGBTQ+ focal characters, gender-agnostic romance systems, DEI consultants like Sweet Baby Inc., or developer statements pushing representation mandates.

Reception shows critic scores around 81 on Metacritic versus much lower user scores driven by monetization and grind complaints, with no notable woke-related backlash or praise. The picture is one of traditional Korean MMO design with only incidental Western tweaks.
