There are many ingredients that are essentials to make a popular and highly-addicted online games. But the upcoming “Ghost Online” MMORPG from NNG Co., LTD., seems to already have all of them on the mix. Good story, pack of action, thrilling control, and much more. Still need few more reason to play it? Then check out the longggg reason below. I don’t have time to play online game myself, but now I really want to play Ghost Online too.

A thriller and chivalrous action MMORPG “Ghost Online”, developed by NNG CO., LTD., is said to lead a popularization of casual chivalrous games. Starting in Asia, it is now being served in 8 countries all around the world.

Ghost Online has lead the NNG’s sales for the past 2 years, with its overseas sales accounting for 50% of revenue. What is Ghost Online exactly? And what makes gamers keep looking for Ghost Online? Most the Ghost Online gamers have been enjoying the game since it launched in 2006. According to the gamers, the Ghost Online is a chivalrous story set as an oriental fantasy, mixed with ghosts and evils and where the game has been equipped with speedy actions and thrilling hitting controls. All of which have proved to make Ghost Online very popular and attractive.

NNG also agreed that its success in the Asian market was based on a thrilling oriental fantasy which brought a common interest to its gaming audience. A ghost, similar to what you may see in novels, appears in the game as a monster and a gamer will then hunt the spirit from within it in order to use them as material within the ‘enchant system’, where the gamer will be able to create more powerful items.

In addition to ghosts, a gamer will see oriental spiritual animals such as a wolf, a hawk, a panda, a giraffe, a phoenix, a while tiger, a blue dragon, etc. in the game. They accompany a master in the game to obtain items, to protect the master and to assist in attacking enemies they encounter.

A gamer is able to freely move about in the game to hunt the monsters using similar movement skills found in chivalrous novels. ‘Walking in the air’ or ‘flying’ for instance, are used to jump into the sky, and these are basic skills that you don’t need to buy additionally. The background effects such as fallen leaves or dusty winds combined with these movement skills will also add to the game.

A gamer will feel at ease when approaching and hunting the monsters found in the Ghost Online compared to other games. That’s why you don’t see any gamers ‘keeping a spot’ like in other games. On the other hand, a beginner may feel overwhelmed as it is not as easy to find other gamers to ask for help or information within the game. NNG is planning to open a new content section for beginner in order to help solve this problem within Korean testing area in July.

At the beginning of the service, Ghost Online was said to be lacking of contents. But including communication, faction systems, faction group battles, siege warfare, and stealing spiritual animals from friends, all various contents have now been improved upon.

The Ghost Online has been introduced through a Global Server Platform by only 1/3 of the 160 level contents which have already been developed. Contents such as exclusive maps, leagues, convenient utilities, and instant dungeons will be added for countries with local servers sooner.

Unlike Asia gamers, gamers in North America and Europe may be not familiar with oriental fantasies. But Munsu JIN, an oversea marketing director of NNG, says, “Ghost Online has already been introduced in the U.S. and in Europe. We are continuously helping gamers of these countries approach the Ghost Online easily, by offering the appropriate contents for localization”, and, “we will update an encyclopedia of evils/ghosts where you can find a ghost or evil from your own country. We are sure that Ghost Online, a thriller and chivalrous action game will give you an interesting and thrilling experience to help you get rid of extreme heat in the summer.”

A Ghost Online Closed Beta Test will start on June 17 (Pacific Time) for 15 days and an Open Beta Test will begin on July 8th.

I’ve read Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball about 15 years ago (which is happen to be the first manga I’ve ever read) and I really love it ’til now. I love the character, I love the story, and most of all, I love the fighting. My favourite character is Goku, but Vegeta isn’t bad as well. Anyway, good news for all of DB fans in the world, including me, Bandai Korea will soon release “Dragon Ball Online” MMORPG! This game will take place 250 years after Dragon Ball Z and Majin-B event (Age 1000). More detail follows, but for now, check out the video after the jump.

The people of the world are torn apart by warfare and magic! In this time of chaos, heroes are needed to lead and unite the people once again. Heroes fight in order to strengthen their legions of followers. Only the strongest will survive!

Aih, siyal. Di saat gw berusaha mengatur kembali jadwal yg kacau balau selama 2 minggu terakhir ini, eh malah nemu maenan lama-tapi-baru ini. Knp gw bilang lama-tapi-baru? Krn gw udah pernah maenin game sejenis ini sejak 3 taon silam, dan harus bersusah payah berhenti dari kecanduan maenin nih game :p

Game yg bernama HeroWar ini berjenis MMORPG. Web-based, tanpa perlu Java ataupun Flash, serta tidak perlu online setiap saat setiap waktu spt kalo kita maen RO. Ada 4 jenis karakter yg tersedia: Warrior, Mage, Thief, dan Tank. Masing² punya kelebihan tersendiri, seperti Warrior yg memiliki kemampuan menyerang yg lebih baik, atau Tank yg memiliki kemampuan bertahan yg lebih baik. Stl memilih karakter dan melakukan registrasi, kita langsung dapat login dan mulai permainan. Dalam game ini, intinya kita berusaha untuk membangun karakter kita sbg seorang ‘Hero‘, dng cara mengumpulkan pasukan sebanyak-banyaknya, membangun kota, memperluas teritori, dan berperang melawan hero² yg lain.

Stok pasukan diperoleh dari orang² yg berhasil direkrut. Rekruitmen dilakukan dng cara mempromosikan referral link kita. Setiap ada yg mengklik link kita, maka kita mendapat pasokan 12 orang. Mereka kemudian dapat kita latih untuk menjadi soldier atau mage. Soldier berguna untuk memperkuat pertahanan maupun penyerangan, sedangkan mage bermanfaat untuk mengumpulkan mana. Mana sendiri dibutuhkan setiap kali kita menyerang hero lain. Semakin banyak mana yg kita gunakan, semakin kuat pula efek serangan kita. Lebih lanjut, soldier dapat kita spesialisasikan menjadi Knight, Berserkers, atau Archer.

Selain pasukan, kita dapat pula membeli berbagai perangkat senjata dan baju tempur untuk digunakan sendiri. Tentu, belinya membutuhkan uang atau gold. Gold diproduksi oleh rekrutmen yg belum dilatih, atau dapat diperoleh bila kita menang perang melawan hero lain. Kita dapat pula membangun bank untuk memproduksi gold tersebut. Gold juga dibutuhkan pada proses training, pembangunan gedung, dan sebagainya.

Elemen lain yg penting adalah exploration atau eksplorasi teritori. Teritori ini dibutuhkan sbg ruang untuk membangun bangunan. Ada 6 macam jenis bangunan: Homes (tempat tinggal pasukan), Banks (memproduksi gold), Temples (memproduksi mana), Barracks (meningkatkan daya serang), Fortifications (meningkatkan daya tahan), dan Nursuries (menambah jumlah rekrutmen).

Tentunya dibutuhkan strategi yg baik untuk menguasai game ini. Mana yg perlu lebih dulu dibangun? Mana yg lebih penting, attack atau defense? Dan masih banyak lagi pilihan² yg muncul yg membuat game ini cukup menarik untuk dimainkan. Informasi lebih lanjut mengenai game ini dapat dibaca di sini. Oh, dan sekedar informasi, versi test dari versi HeroWar berikutnya sedang berlangsung. Anda dapat memilih ingin bermain di versi aslinya, versi klasik, ataupun versi test, yg diberi nama Age 0: The Blitz, itu. Untuk versi test, hanya dapat dimainkan sampai test selesai, tentunya. Setelah itu, permainan akan dimulai lagi dari awal.

Selamat bermain (kalo mo nyoba sih) :p
