Possible future updates



Ways to help

   
 

Knight Online World is based on the Korean version of Knight Online -- a MMORPG that is as popular as pokerstars poker and other well-known games from the world of online gaming. The Korean version receives updates frequently, while Knight Online World only gets updates in big batches that are known as expansions. The content of the expansion is usually the cumulative of updates released within a time period, although some features can be implemented differently or removed, such as Lunar War map voting and schedule, character deletion and nation transfer.

Below is a list of updates to KOKO that haven't been released in USKO. These updates are candidates to be released with the next expansion.

The dates next to the individual updates are the date the news item about that item were first posted on the KOKO news section. If "+ JPKO" appears next to an item, it means the update has been added to JPKO as well.

NOTE: Don't take these for certain. There may be translation errors that change the meaning. All of this info was taken from the Korean official site, not from inside the game.

Zone / Event additions and changes

Football

14 Jan 2010
Note to American players: this "football" is the game where you kick a ball with your foot.

A football stadium will be set up in Moradon near the mining area. You can register by talking to the manager NPC. You must choose between Red and Blue team. There's a maximum of 11 players per team and no team can have 2 or more players above the other team.

You can't attack each other in the pitch. If the ball is kicked out of the field, it will respawn in the middle. If you score a goal, you get a Bone Pendant (only if you have registered at the NPC). You can leave with the /town command.

Your basic skills will be replaced with things like "dribble" and "shoot". You must register these in the skill bar.

When you get 10 Bone Pendants, you can exchange them for a football jersey that expiers in 1 day and provides +5 defense and +50 HP.

Castle Siege War changes

3 guard towers will be placed next to the Center Artifact to aid in defending it.
