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.
When entering instanced dungeons (BDW, Chaos etc.), you won't be able to
trade, either until the event starts or you get the rejection message.
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.
