I think it's a beta and that it's supposed to go pay-per-month once they've
worked out all the bugs. I remember reading that when I looked into the
game myself 6 months ago. Then I heard about all the bugs, and decided it
wasn't worth the aggrivation.

if you really liked KO, try www.e-games.com.my they offer KO as Free For
Life (FFL) game, in other words, no subscription fee, no monthly fee, and it
had been running for over a couple of years already, so it should be more
stable, it's been a long time since I left the game (during open beta) so
I'm not sure how the game is faring now. They earn by selling virtual items
which normally gives you sxtra boost to play the game with (stronger armor,
better weapon, buffing items and such) that you have to purchase points with
real cash, to purchase these items. Besides KO, they have a few other FFL
games like Gate To Heavens Online, Supreme Destiny (It's the hottest there
now), and D.O. Online (it's currently in Chinese only, no English version
yet), Another soon to be available is Ran Online, the English version is
under translation now, it's a Japanese Highschool themed game (made by
Koreans). (Warning: they are all typical Korean Online grinders)

Thank you Paul, I will try those games, excellent reply. But I still have a
question.. :

Why are these two websites for it and what is the
difference? A better question :why is my very version (At
www.knightonlineworld.com version 1299 and the other site :
www.knight-online.com.my at like 1303 (If you check the game updates page).
What are the differences?

simple, they are run by different companies. KOWorld could be run by a US
company or the Korean home company in some cases, I didn't check out the
KOWorld site to make sure which is the case.

The .my one is run by e-Games, and based in Malaysia, it has been running
for a couple of years, and has a stable player base so they could afford to
test run the newer version (which normally contains bug and may frustrate
new players to drive them away)

As for the content differance, I don't care since I'm not playing it
anymore.
