Knight Online Game Review

My opinion on the MMO RPG Knight Online

Knight online is a well made game, it had a lot of good features and I had a good time playing it. It also had quite a few flaws though.

Gameplay

Starting off was quite disorientating and intimidating like all games are. But Knight online is one of the few games i know that has not put in a language filter so its very hard to find someone that speaks English let alone someone that is willing to help you.

You get a little helper boy ( mine was named Seed =D ) that tells you about upcoming quests which is good but reminds you that you are dying which can get quite annoying at times ( I know when I am dying, its not hard to tell .... ). Seed also keeps telling me to do quest which I cant do because my level is too high, it gets quite aggravating.

Leveling gets to be quite a mission as do most games but the quests aren't very helpful, some are gathering quests offering you money for items when i could sell them for over one hundred times better at the market.

The worst thing about this game was hacks. It was out of control! There were bots EVERYWHERE killing things every split second so theres no hope for beginners in certain areas. There is constant spamming of item offers wherever you go and gives me a headache after a while. The game is very scam proof though, the trade system has lots of confirmation steps and after all the item price spamming on the chat window i almost knew every items price off by heart!

Pro's

  • - Huge variety of items
  • - Good graphics
  • - A helper to ... help you
  • - Variety of classes and class items
  • - Wide variety of monsters
  • - Spectacular settings ranging from deserts to medievil castles
  • - There are lots of partys that you can leech Exp off

Con's

  • - Lots of hack issues
  • - Constant spamming
  • - Not a very friendly atmosphere
  • - Language issues ( Swearing AND no foreign language filters )
  • - Gets weird and depressing sometimes ( The Christmas event was killing Christmas trees for their ornaments ... Wtf ? )
  • - Hard to understand ( When i try to get help theres no English speakers or written guides in English ! )

Overall

The game itself was great but the whole game i felt like a loner in a way, everyone is. Most other players are just in it for themselves and i can't sell anything because of the language issues. I managed to learn enough Turkish to say " Party me " and " Why not ", if party me didn't work why not usually did but thats how desperate I was!

All in all, it was a good game but i just got too frustrated over the leveling, hacks and the foreign language issues.

There can be at times, but usually its not a very laggy game. Probably the most laggy is the town area's where eveyone sets-up a store. There is quite a few times where they're down for maintenance though.

I played this game for about 2 years. This game used to be awsome. Due to K2 Networks lack of commitment to service this game with full time GM's the game has gone down hill. Also the fact that the turkish community has overun the game makes the game less than plesent for the english speaking community due to the cultural and language barriers.
