Top Korean MMORPG and MMO Games – the first Part
1.Xkick Online
Xkick Online is a revolutionary football or soccer based MMO that has taken the world by storm. The game will be entering open beta very soon and has a lot of promise and potential after receiving excellent reviews by gamers and journalists. Xkick Online mixes football with street based football or futsal allowing players to perform many skills and beat their opponents, while having fun and enjoying this new game concept. Teamwork is very much necessary in this game and players can team up with each other or play solo and defeat the AI or other players. Character positioning and advancing of the character’s skills and abilities is a major part of this game. This is done via winning games and building the team’s moral. The controls for Xkick Online are slick and smooth and mix well with the detailed graphics. At the moment, latency is a minor problem but it should be fixed very soon. Players can also choose their own goal celebration which adds some fun to the game. Overall, Xkick takes on a whole new look on gaming with a fresh and much needed concept and will hopefully flourish.
2.Kabod Online
Kabod Online is a new MMORPG that is going to hit the market very soon and its main factor is being 18+ and is set to be a blockbuster in the Korean MMORPG market. The game takes on an entirely new concept with beautiful but gory graphics and intense combat and game play. There are many things which set this game apart from others. One thing that stands out is that the game promotes Pking via the ‘crime system’. Players can kill other at any point in time and loot their dead bodies. As they continue to gain more kills, they will gain special titles and because renown in the world of Kabod. However, there are NPCs who are out to kill you so making a bad decision is very costly. Another weird factor of this game is that the game also promotes relationships and in game characters actually kiss and hug. The most disturbing feature though, is that everytime a character is beaten down badly enough, his or her clothes will begin to shed leaving them bare naked! The game also has a lot of gambling involved. Overall, Kabod looks like a nice game with good graphics but I think the goriness will hold it back a little bit. Kabod began its first beta test on July 15th.
3.Raiderz Online
Raiderz Online is an MMORPG that was recently announced by Neowiz and is set to enter alpha and beta phases at the end of 2010. Players begin their journey on the planet of Velix and have the daunting task of exploring these lands for enemy creatures and other players. As the game’s name shows, the main objective of the game is consistently raiding and completing dungeons so players can obtain the best gear and then move on to the PVP parts of the game. During an interview, the developers said they had tried to convey the uniqueness and specialty of Gunz onto this game with its large amount of quests. The game play is based on non-targeting and quick reactions are needed. Players must kill monsters called Epic Monsters to obtain gold, experience and items to equip their character with. Groups will be a major part of this game as players must team up to do raids. One special thing about the game is that the game does not have a class system and that players can learn all the skills that the game has to offer. Raiderz shows a lot of potential for a F2P MMO and I am anticipating a good game.
4.Soul Master Online
Soul Master is an MMORTS(Massively Multiplayer Online Real Time Strategy) brought to us by Gamescampus. It will become one of the few MMORTSs on the market and will try to bring innovative and fresh designs into games which will set this game apart from all others.

The races are surprisingly unique to this game rather than the other regular races of other MMOs. There are eight classes for players to choose from which have their own pros and cons in PVP and PVE. The game is not heavily based on either PVP or PVE but is very fun in both departments. Tera has a lot of promise and might just be the first next gen MMORPG.
