So, I thought I would take some time to do some shameless promotion here.
I know some of you are probably getting a little fed up with MxO at this point and are looking for something else to entertain yourselves with for a while.
Therefore, I offer a fun little solution for your MMORPG needs.
I give you:
Kal Online (http://www.kalonline.com (http://www.kalonline.com))
If you've already got a character on there, stop reading now and post your name in this thread so we can meet up and hang out in game, maybe even form a guild.
If you don't, keep reading to find out more:
To start off, this game is completely FREE. No fees, no nothing. Unlimited playtime. 24/7 (except when they have maintenance). The installer isn't that huge either (only like 170mb...use a download manager like GetRight or FlashGet).
Kal Online is this nifty mmorpg set in asia in the ancient times (lame sounding setting I know, but it works).
The graphics are surprisingly nice for an MMO game with thousands of users, but they don't require you to have a beast of a graphics card (of course, it's not a bad thing if you do). There are three base classes (knight, archer, mage), which advance into more complex forms of the classes further on as you level. There are a few other interesting little things that set this game apart from others; like when you complete a quest at this one point, you get this weird egg item that once it gains enough exp while you're leveling (you kinda...equip it?), it levels up and gives you bonuses and eventually lets you transform into a really powerful ancient monster so you can fight better.
There's a really impressive system called the "Teacher/Student" system, which is being implemented tonight, that allows people to act as mentors. You register as a student to someone, and when you're leveling your teacher gains a sum of money for your leveling, and then once you reach certain level benchmarks you both get large lump sums of money.
Ummm...there are a bunch of other things. That's what I can think of right now.
The point is: fun game, change of pace, come play with us![/url]

Hehe, I've actually been playing that for a while now just on and off. I have a lvl 11 fighter named Rognack on there.
To name a few other games (free mind you) that are fun.....
here is shattered galaxy
http://www.shatteredgalaxy.com/
This game is a squad based RTS MMO. You create, arm, and command a squad of 6-12 characters on a massive battlefield. With huge playing fields and having many players with their squads about, teamwork and strategy is needed to dominate the opposing teams. It reminds me a LOT of starcraft....
Another "interesting" game is navy field.
http://www.navyfield.com/
In this MMO it is WWII and you are in charge of a ship. As you progress and gain xp and such you can better your ship's armor and equipment (or get a better ship). In combat you control your ship and along with many others, go head to head against the opposing force in the deep blue sea. The controls are at first very confusing, but after you get use to them you'll notice the game is extremely addicting.

Whoa that looks tight!! IS there a ninja class cause im so all over it! Is it in english cause the screenshots look like its in Korean.
-
I am not sure if there is a specific ninja class... but there are some ninja weapons available later on......
When you start as a knight you feel more like a samurai. for kicks, your beginner's skill allows you to behead your opponents just before they die to gain a little life and mana.
And yes, it seems all nationalities share the server but there are a LOT of people around that speak english so you won't feel so alienated.
-
There are people called Assassins...but it's just a status you get from wearing a certain item. Turns your name red and hides your real username.
The game is in english, and like 70% of the peple that play it speak english at least.
So Ristan, you want to play together sometime?
-
Il play is it free?
-
Free play for as long as you want. Only time you have to pay is if you want to buy some uber items from their website for your characters...but those aren't necessary at all.
-
Downloading now... This looks really cool.
-
i'll give it a check now... *downloading* as always my name will most likely be ArchNemesis
-
meh, I might as well, even though I'm not into the whole samurai age stuff
Edit: hmmm, I dont think I will be playing this..you can only choose about 3 faces for your character and mages and archers have to be female..eh.
-
Just got ingame. Looks promising for being free! My Name is Yoshide.
Server down for maitenence.
-
Something free? Attracted I am. Also, its something to do whenever I get tired of MxO and need another game to refresh me. I'll also check out those other two that Ristan posted. Shattered Galaxy looks nice. :)
-
Servers are back up...
-
mmm gunz looks interesting as well...
-
Yea Arch is right ive played it for about 30min. Dear god sweeet ASS!!! http://www.gunzonline.com

Holy shit. That game looks like it blows Kal Online out of the water. Must D/L now!
[EDIT: *cries* It can't access the servers! Omg! Nooooo! What the hell do I do? It says I need to re-download the installer!]
-
Ignore that and just keep trying to get in.... we all were in TS talking about it and playing it for quite some time ^_^

Can you log in right now? or are the servers down?
-
oh man these posts are starting to look like the days before beta hahah
-
downloading as I type, probably be under benevolence or nirva, whichever one is not picked yet
-
Why can't I be at home right now? I shall be downloading both as soon as I get home. These better be good.
-
At least this game patches faster than FFXI...now THAT was a waste of time and money.
-
Does Gunz play as good as it looks?
-
Gunz is by far one of the best games ever. The most addictive thing ever!!! Arch is right Ignore the stupid server error. Keep trying youl get in eventually. It plays as good as it looks. The beta just came out on June 2 so there are a few bugs here and there but freakin sweet concept.
-
ok, decided to take a stab at Kal Online and well I didn't realize its now 6 in the friggen morning...*sigh* yeah its a tad addicting once i started getting the hang of it
-
Last night we had like 12-14 people playing gunz. A very cool game with long play value considering the level system and items. I was one of the ones leading the pack as far as levels go until I had to log off this morning. I got two and a half hours of sleep before I had to make the hour long drive to work. Damn this sucks.
Anyways, we need a good name for a clan there with only 12 characters. "FuriousAngel" is as far as we can get.
-
hmmm, I'm gonna keep trying to download gunz. I keep getting the same error each time!
-
You get an error now? What error?
If your talking the "can not connect to server" or "too many players" ones, keep trying, reinstalling won't change anything!
Nemi sat for about 20-30 minutes attempting to get in. The rest of us had to do the same.
-
Gunz is totally worth the wait, though.
The gameplay is really fun and crazy and smooth, even for beta.
-
No, its the same bug from last night
-
No, its the same bug from last night
Are you using a download manager, Tiz? (i.e. something other than what comes with your browser?)
-
No.
would you recommend one?
-
net transport
-
Eh, how about one that doesnt cost money?
If all of them do then I might have to just not play then.
-
I'm pretty sure it's not the download, because we've all DLed the same thing and it loaded fine. You said you get the window with the chick on it, right?
-
pointing a gun at me, yes
-
Yeah, I imagine you would only need to redownload if you got an error starting the program.
IMJ had a similar issue, ask him about it.
-
the problem is, I have re downloaded it almost 15 times..
-
Could you post a screen shot of your desktop with the Gunz window open so i can get an idea whats up?
-
That's what I mean Tiz, don't bother downloading it again because that's not your problem.
-
To take a screen shot you press print screen, right? or some other combo?
It's been awhile since the last time I did this :p
-
Eh, nevermind that. I remeber now
here it is...

-
Try clicking right here...
(http://www.textbookninja.com/test1/Gunzwtf.jpg)
That's where we get the button to start the game in big-ol letters. It's very odd you don't have it.
-
heh, I'll give it a shot
-
Nothing...again
-
*throws shit*
-
welcome to my world
The only thing I can think of is one of you sending me a copy of your version of Gunz
-
when I get home I'll upload the exe file.
-
Ok, thanks alot. Even if it doesnt work.
-
gunz took a little getting used to a first, but it reminds me of unreal tournament...so I quickly improved
was first place in 2 rooms at level 3 and 4 lol, both with like 20+ kills
-
Wow, I was not to sure about that kal online, but Gunz looks hot. Downloading it now, will jump on TS in a bit.
-
ftp://maiet.nefficient.com/maiet/GunzInternationalUpdate.exe
For accessing the new patch, if you're still running on the old client.
-
dude tiz you have your comp on a uber low res man. Do you just like it like that or do you not have a good graph card?
-
sorry tiz, I didn't goto my home last night so couldn't upload that file. Try midnights thing.
-
I was able to play gunz for awhile but with this new patch I have another problem
When ever I click that link midnight posted I get this
"previous version not found"
and it stops patching.
I dont know if I should re-install again. If I do I don't know if I will lose my character.
-
I don't think you will. What would be the point of the registration then?
-
yeah, re-installing fixed it
-
Yeah...so I'm addicted to KalOnline, and I blame you Midnight for mentioning it :p jk heh
Anyway, if anyone's playing this still as well and is looking for a teacher, I'm looking for a few good recruits ;) Currently a level 22 knight. I also have a lvl 5 Mage and a lvl 9 Archer. I needed a little break from MxO, and this is doing it quite nicely.
-
yeah guns has been alright, though I wish the quest version would come faster, the constant pvp/fps stuff gets old, I like CS, but there's still times Id rather play the story related stuff than just run around shooting people. etc. on a side note, gunz is the only online game im playing right now other than MxO, playing more than 1 or 2 games at once makes me feel dirty. hehe :)
-
GTA San Andreas is my current fall back game, when tired of MxO...
-
it's funny, the commercials for that game havent stopped for 8 months straight. they switched over to saying 'now for xbox' or something about a month and a half ago
-
PC version is supposed to be out this month too, although I wouldn't hold my breath on that one either.

Are you shitting me? The PC version is the best thing about those games.
Once it's been out for a while, people will be making mods for them!!
You know what that means? Frickin' hot cars and other crazy replacements for all kinds of stuff. The possibilities are endless.
Just google "GTA Vice City Mods", you'll understand why.
-
yeah there is GTA mods that make GTA online.
-
after all, the grand theft series originally started on none other than the pc.
