After a very long wait, Lost Ark is now available to play in the west. The MMO-ARPG initially launched in Korea in 2019, but its taken three years and a partnership with Amazon for publishing to bring it to the United States and Europe. Despite the extra time for preparation, however, Lost Ark's launch has not gone smoothly. Amazon even publicly acknowledged Lost Ark's launch issues, not quite apologizing but offering a reward of Crystalline Aura to all players.
