KAL Online Review

This game will make you run, and run, and run, for hours until you finally find a good way of transportation. And Yes, it has a cash shop and does boast some cash shop kids. But most of them quit the game because they get pissed of from walking so much. Which ironically happens to most of the mature, harcore adults too.

Graphics 7/10
Sound 6/10
Innovation 6/10
Community 4/10
Content 2/10

Overall 6.5/10

But this game is fun when you are playing with friends. 7

FIrst few questions you have to ask yourself before playing this …

Do you like extreme grinding for levels and For long times and dont need community at all?
THis is your game

Good content compared to most korean mmo’s but its a exteme grind fest and some mention the large maps as a advantage…But they fail to mention long traveling times that come with the package…

Its not really a social friendly game..Bad community with tons of hackers and cheaters

And Ps mhardy this being your first game after runescape …there are probably a alpabhet of games better then runescape so that doesnt count 😛

Overall, I rate this game 3/10.

PROS: nice graphics, your character can gear up pretty fast without spending real money (which is the case in a lot of free MMORPGs), skill/stats system makes every player different (not completely true, as all the classes need specific stats), enchanting items, selling materials and items with profit, to be short: it’s a complete game with a lot of aspects of the “real” MMORPGs like WoW.

CONS: There is a huge difference between the leveling time in the first 25 levels and the following. The experience you need for a next level increases much faster than the experience you get from the mobs that are your level. It’s normal I know, but i stress the “much faster” part. Take a look at this table: (http://www.kalhq.com/forums/index.php?s=49fe53ddad11cda33e233627c0d4c481&showtopic=5095) Grinding, grinding, grinding, …
The gear level requirements are not so logical before level 35. A level 1 character (who can get the gear or the money from another person) can wear the same gear as a level 34. This means that a level 1 can be very powerful for its level. On the other hand, this also means that before level 35, you can’t gear up gradually. You’ll face stronger and stronger mobs, while you stay the same. Of course, your stat points make a difference too. And if you start without help (read: money), you won’t have the best

Pros: KalOnline is one of the nicer MMOs because of the graphics and the well thought-out party and skill system. Even though character customization in terms of appearance is nonexistent, no two characters are the same because of their stats and skills. There are lots of different kinds of parties you can do, e.g. if you”re an ice mage, you can do splashy parties (Knights can participate sometimes if they have the elastic shield buff.) Any kind of mage can participate in all mage parties. There”s also the regular parties consisting of mostly knights. When you”re a low level, you can also do egg parties, which isn”t much different from the normal kinds of parties except where you train. It”s reasonably challenging to stay alive in Kal training on things your level, but soloing is still slow and boring.

Cons: Community in this game is pretty bad. You get a lot of random PKers (a.k.a. Sins) and a lot of cheating. The economy is pretty much ruined because of all the credit card fraud, fake items, and underground botters. I don”t know what it”s like on the other servers now (they weren”t out when I played) but that is what it was like on Nareaha. You also get a lot of foreign people who won”t speak to you unless you”re from their country (Germans, Polish, and Brazillians are especially bad.) Not everyone is like this, but a lot of people are jerks. The community is not very mature (and parents, if you”re reading this: supervise your kids online.) The gameplay is very grindy. It takes a really long time to level up. Wars are great only if you”re 50+, until then, get ready to die a lot. If you don”t participate, you will still get the massive lag that it generates.

Overall, I would probably still play this game if not for the hacking and poor community. It has a lot of potential and is not really as boring as many of the other cookie cutter MMOs out there. At least there is more than one way to group, and if you get past 50, wars are pretty fun.

CONS:
Getting around is tedious and the music gets monotonous sumtimes. And getting partied all the time by noobs gets annoying cuz they drag you around just to watch them get owned.

I give it a 7 cuz i came back to replay it as well and its fun as an archer. Check for Kyane on Hanin.

Gameplay: 7/10 it is kinda stupid that you have to run so much to get to your kills, and when you get there , there is almost nothing to do but kill.

Graphics: 8/10 the graphics are nice! certainly the enemies.

Sound: 7/10 the sound is ok.

i give this game a 7

i played ALOT of mmorpg.

i started htis 7 month ago and got bored after 2 months.
so i swaped to a mmorpg called kngith online i got bored and went to silkroad i got bored again
and went 9drgaosn again i got bored an di finnaly
went to legend of ares untill i see all the hacks so i quitted and was wondering for a new mmorpg

im sure this happened to all of you ppl.

but then i remember the good time i had in kal and decide to re dl it

and guess what it was real i had sooo much fun re-palyign ti and now im lvl 35 on bango my nick name Loerdemortaro i hope to see you ppl

BELEIVE ME THIS GAME IS WORTH IT EVEN IF SOMETIME U WANNA QUIT JUST TRY TO PLAY IT AN DU WILL HAVE UR FUN BACK.

but remember to keep a social life and not to be liek that geek Blaine who spent 24 hrs a day lol

nyways have fun dont be a frigged geek and play dis

1. Don’t even try this game if you aren’t patient. This game needs a lot of time to enjoy it… If you are going to play once, twice a week – find another game. Here you need to be online as long as possible (when 2nd server were opened, I stayed online for 24h per day… unless there was a server test). Drop items, lvl your character, lvl your animal, sell items in private shop, catch fishes (tip: don’t catch fishes in one place longer than 5 hours… hackers)…

2. Community – if you play long enough, you stay in touch with your online mates, guild, alliance (if you have such). And when you reach next level above level 40… Everyone in guild or ally sends congratulations, guild smiles and mates “keep on going”… Atmosphere! But you need to play to get a level up…

3. Money and items – if you don’t buy Kal Shop items for real money, you will never have enough, especially when you’re not a mage. No way it is easy to get a big money for items… Maybe for the best armour set and weapon you can put on while you’re low lvl – maybe those items are cheap… But when you reach something above 40… Then you will see – no guild => no help => no money…

4. Warining – if you will try it and offer it a lot of time – watch out. It will take even more! I played some onlines, some where ok, some where waste of time, but this game is an ADDICTION! It’s the only one I always came back to.
And an advertisment – here goes 3rd server, you can try it and see if you like Kal Online.

To register, try the MSN mail. It should work, but in options you need to set the lowest junk-mail protection.

Now I have been viewing games for a while, and take my word for this, it is a great game whether it is made by another country, or how big the community is it is still a great game, and through the years I ahve been reviewing, AND viewing games, this is one of the 9 games I usually play every week.

GamePlay value: 10/10

Now this game hols a lot in it for it just giving a low amount of information on the website considering it being a korean game.
Even if there isn’t alot of people playing online while your playing, it is also a kick playing it by yourr self. The computers, and AI’s in this game are incredible, and may’be the latest AI engine in I believe. Over all the game play is incredble with all of the real-time fighting, conbined with the slective weapons, armour, and powers, classes, and last races.. There is many things to pick from in this game, and I have had a hard time choosing some of them. ^_^

Community: 7/10

I would have to say that 83% of the time you get on this game, there will be 1 or more persons in a 50 feet radious of you any where you go. Also considering this korean, there is ALOT of korean players, because I believe that this game is retailed in North Karea, but it is free to other contries considering laungage reasons, and busnious issues with translating numbers. Over all in the community is pretty good, but again 40% of people that play this game is korean, so you might run in to other people speaking another laungage.

Total rating opinion coming from me:

IF YOU READ THIS YOU WILL NOT BE IGNORANT

I know why half of the people that have rated this gave it a bad rating, its because you could not regester, correct? We’ll yes, if you search on a search engine or on google for example, type in “Korean number list” without the qoutation marks and you’ll get good results, once you have that, save it to a save place for future use, then copy the number you want, that matches your number. Ex.: 1 = (korean number), 2 = (korean number). Then you should be able to paste the korean number into the regeristering area. There I just gave EVERYONE in here a solution to that problem.

OVERALL Rating of the game:

I give this game a Hard firm 9/10 for the good work, and everything they have put into this game. Not jsut because of gameplay and graphics, but for the support they give you, and that you are able to report cheating, and glitches to them, and they reply to you happily.

I hope you all understand and agree with my statements, and opinions because they are very rational, and if you look into it, theyn do awnser alot of questions for you.

My computer somehow fixed itself so I am now able to play KAL online again:

Besides the fact that the translation from korean to english (yes this was a korean language game before) is not that great, I would now have to rate this game at a 10. It is definitely the BEST mmorpg that I ve played and it certainly is the game for ppl who are looking to get into one and only one game for the next couple of years.

Pros: Graphics are M-AZING, map is beautifuly designes, there is a certain feeling you get from the game as if you were living this game and not just playing it, it is not THAT big yet (like runescape) so there isn t much overwhelming lag that you have to deal with. It s the first-ever oriental based game, so for fans of asian culture (ex. japanese music, anime, etc…) this is definitely the game for you as this whole story revolves around asian mythology.

Cons: translation makes the game sometimes difficult to understand, items are somewhat overpriced.

That s about it though. But definitely four big thumps up (And toes) for this one.

WARNING: For low end pc users (if your pc is 3 years or older) this game is NOT for you. My pc was 5 years old and it was still in pretty good shape before I started playing KAL online; my computer is now filled with viruses and trojans and I suspect it has something to do with KAL online. My computer is now absolutely dead and it can t even handle a few internet sites before it crashes. So if your computer is 3 years or older then do not download this game as it will probably slowly screw up your computer.

But if your computer IS fairly recent then I suggest this game to you. It does have AWESOME graphics and the story line is not too bad. And the cool thing about it is that when you play this game, it actually makes you feel INSIDE of a story, if you know what I mean. Plus there s a ton of monsters to fight. I would definitely recommend this game strongly to you. Also, it s system requirements are not that high so it should be ok for most ppl.

When you first begin it IS kind of hard to get on your feet and to know what to do. But once you get the hang of it, it s quite a bit of fun and it s very adictive. The only downside is that it is hard to move around in KAL online since the map is so huge and there are NO portals–you have to buy teleport scrolls that only work once, so for beginners who don t have any money, it takes a while to get from place to place without teleporting. BUT this game is a definite must.

Money takes a while to get, and the quests et tedious quickly (Collect 30 heads, collect 40 heads, so on) and take hours to complete will little (or no) reward.

There are always plenty of people on, and you can go fishing and stuff. I ve only been playing for a day, but I ve been having a good time. The teacher thing really helps.
