^ 1. Basic Informations ^

First rumors about new big patch for Knight Online appeared like 1 year ago. Level 83 cap, new quests, new items. Long story short - something what we all waiting for. The client with new patch was realised some time ago for World Championship. It was full working and almost 100% translated so it was just matter of time when it comes out for normal version of KO. Now we know it's name - Forgotten Frontiers - and it comes out really soon.

Bolded text is clear, new expansion is really close :) Beta will probably start in few days, and 1-2 months max I think there will be final version.


Added: 27 september 2008

On official forums there is topic with questions to producer. Few hours ago "The Castellan" posted there some infos about upcoming expansion. I picked all infos about new expansion.

Hi everybody. Knight Online Producer The Castellan here. I've been going through the thread and so far, there seems to be a lot of repeat questions. So what I'll do is pick out the ones that reoccur and address them first. So here goes!

Regarding the Expansion
When will we see the Beta?
We're planning on beginning the beta during the first half of October.

What will be in the expansion?
All kinds of great stuff. Magicians can summon mini-Felankors now. New zones and a smattering of new bosses, including the big-daddy of all bosses, Krowaz. New constructable armor. Weapons that have cool effects like shrinking enemies or turning them into members of the undead. There's one that actually turns your enemy into a Kaul, and armor that makes the wearer immune to elemental and/or magic weapons for a time.

A new PvP zone, and a new adventure zone.

Oh, and level 83, of course.

There'll be more information as we get closer to the release date.

When is Bifrost coming back?
With the expansion!

Are rogues going to get a minor cooldown?
We don't have anything on our end that would hint at a minor cooldown for rogues on our version of KO, but we all know that Korean KO has it and they're quite a ways ahead of us in terms of patches. I know how much nobody here wants it and this message will be conveyed, but ultimately it comes down to what the developer wants to do with their game. If they think that minor having no cooldown unbalances the game, it will have to be changed.

Why does Mgame take so long to do things?
For one thing, they have to make sure that everything they do can be implemented across the board in all versions of KO. Things also take time to translate. And here's the biggie: they don't really have as many cheaters on Korean KO. Their players have to enter their social security number in order to register. This alone has a drastic impact on whether or not cheaters can abuse the game, meaning the developer is somewhat insulated from bugs and hacks. We have to reproduce everything in house here, then come up with step by step method for performing it on their end. This then has to be translated into Korean and sent over.

Can you please make a new PK zone for under level 70?
Ok. It'll come in the new expansion. It'll be called "Ronark Land Base."

Why can't free2play users beta test Forgotten Frontiers?!
Free2play users will get the whole expansion for free without having to go through the drudgery of testing it. How about that? We will never, ever not give preference to people who pay us. Free2play users would not have a game if not for the people that do pay. There is no free2play electricity bill, no free2play internet bill, and hard working employees like GMs and server technicians who get up in the middle of the night to work on servers do not do it for free, because supermarkets are not free2eat and gas stations are not free2fill up. Premium users provide everyone with a unique opportunity to play this game at whatever price they want to pay, even if that price is free, and I don't really think that that should be offensive to you.

I think this game has the best PVP platform of any MMO, however I think it is due for a major revamping as the maps and senarios are vastly outdated. This is a PVP based game and I think adding another PVP element along with more questlike XP rewards instead of the constant grinding of mobs would drastically turn the game for the better.
The expansion has something you'll really like: Mission Quests. More on that later! Also, you get experience for winning in the new PvP zone.
That's all for now. Keep checking back; I'll answer as many as I can.


I think that was some interesting stuff to read, cant wait new expansion. xD

^ 4. Satanism ^ Added: 27 september 2008

Here is review of Satanism posted on our forum by Ugluk-Ha.

Nice that u wrote something about new expansion :)

Gogogo more updates in library!!!

Anyway I would add some things
u dont mind?

Satanism
In korean version there is something called satanism. I dont know is usko will get this, koko have lot of updates all time, dont have big patches like usko. They getting everything step by step so...



Anyway satanism is system of crafting items. You need get few items and put them in anvil-like unit and compound new item. The succes rate is not 100% and very depends from what items u put there.

There are element items u can obtain from new mobs in cz


There are also 10 difrent kind of items needed to craft new item:


And pieces u can buy in Haepa npc for abilities:


The mobs who drops these items are placed in cz:


and looks like this (those drops element items)


and drakes who drop base items for craft:


And last screen for new "anvil" (npc Haepa)


Hope it is usefull :) Put on site baba Kalais :)



^ 5. New Experience Quests ^ Added: 27 september 2008

I translated some infos about new patch from korean version of Knight Online. Used google translator so some things may not be perfect translated.

New quests

1. The legend of the resurrection (Lvl 70)
Kill 250 Evil Wizard in Ronark Land
Reward: 46,000,000 experience points


2. The sheik of the men (Lvl 74)
Not sure here, I think it is about killing new mobs in Ronark Land who drops elements, 60 of 1 kind, 60 of 2nd and 80 of 3rd kind.
Reward: 100,000,000 experience points


3. From the risk of Monster II (Lvl 80)
This 1 is hard to tranlate too, I think it is about Pking.
Reward: Personal Item


4. Not finished hunt II (Lvl 71)
Kill 250 Troll Bersekers in Eslant
Reward: 55,000,000 experience points


5. Not finished hunt III (Lvl 71)
Kill 250 Troll Captains in Eslant
Reward: 55,000,000 experience points


6. A nightmare (Lvl 72)
Kill 250 Booro in Eslant (not 100% it is about Booro)
Reward: 67,000,000 experience points


7. Mistakes of the past (Lvl 72)
Kill 250 Dark Stones in Eslant
Reward: 67,000,000 experience points


8. Corrupt the spirit of the flame (Lvl 73)
Kill 250 Balrogs in Eslant
Reward: 82,000,000 experience points


So all this quests together will give us 472,000,000 experience points. Nice xD

Below I put a rough translation from Google, I cant figure out what is all about. My guess is - Ronark 60-69, fight for crystal in center and win exp for win, for killing some mobs, but thats just a guess.

9. Geojeomji Mission Bay ronakeu Add Quest
The crash broke the center of the tower's base to protect the baby backspace to the country, As a result, the emergence somewhere in the geojeomji.
5 to 20 minutes is a monster, if we capture will be given compensation.

10. Quest of the central guardian of the nation's top cross to the other country monster, the monster is gone, the emergence of both countries is forecast kwe.
Objective: (karuseu) baby backspace 5
(Elmo Rod) As a result, 5
Compensation: 1,400,000 gyeongheomchi
