Quote from website:

"What types of monsters are there?

• Monsters are divided into five types according to the intensity of the monster.
  • Ordinary monsters are quite weak and players can easily kill them.
  • Secondary monsters generally roam the countryside and are moderately difficult to kill.
  • Strong monsters are rare and are equal to bosses. They tend to have a high-level of health and are very difficult to kill, but the reward is also much more than killing lower-level monsters.
  • Unique monsters can only can be found in monster lairs and the reward is much higher.
  • Fabled monsters only appear in fables. The difficulty is so high that a single player cannot kill it and requires a team to destroy it. The reward for killing one is some of the highest possible reward available.

          "How does a character inflict more damage?

• The back of the monster is its weak point when it comes to attacking and therefore players can cause 30% more damage by attacking from behind.
• A player can also sometimes land a devastating blow called a Critical Strike.
  • Do Critical Strike and Attacking from Behind damage bonuses stack?
    • Yes "

"More than 200 maps available
The maps ranges from desert plateau, jungle covered island to the waterfront. There are insidious fierce monsters, rural wild men, dangerous underground caves, hidden treasures, etc installed for the players in the game. Players can not only engage in PK battles, they can also be a collector of valuable minerals.

Variety of missions System
NPCs in Secret Online would carry quests of their own, and players are sometimes required to assist the NPCs to solve these quests. All the missions are derived from the famous characters in the traditional Chinese myths. Completing the missions can bring the players money, gifts, experiences or reputation points.

A long and deep story background
With thousands of plots placed in Secret Online, and the many historical figures that now come before the player, the player can expect that closing one completed quest door will almost immediately open up another window of mysterious and ever-changing fantasy world."

"Legend of Transformation scrolls (Charms)
Just when all hopes seem to be lost for mankind; a new power was discovered to combat the devil race and the dark emperor. Powerful transformation scrolls appeared mysteriously changed the course of battle. Nobody knows where exactly these scrolls came from or how they work. But perhaps you can find the answers...

The alliance of mankind and the Xuan Ruan race soon began to use the scrolls to transform themselves into various powerful monsters from other dimensions such as the giant scorpion, man-bear-pig, giant ape, etc.

Finally as a result, the battle became a standstill.

Transformation system
The transformation system is one of the best features in the game. Players can use the transformation scroll to change their characters? appearance. You can find these scrolls through killing monsters, finishing quests or just by purchasing them. "

It is far from any random korean grindfest and it's a Chinese mmorpg.

 Please don't make senseless comments if you cannot back it up.

Please expalin? I mean look at all the unique features it has compared to most korean grinders? It has lots of character customization, male or female choices. 5 Different classes. It has skills paths where you must complete quests in order to get skills. Rare bosses to get more unique skills. It has different skill paths such as fire, lightning or ice for wizard. It allows you to atack while running. It is strategy based combat system where it requires skill and not just random hack and slash.

LOL yes choosing between male and female and 5 classes is truly innovative. Rare bosses, that's every korean grindfest pretty much.  You know what killing bosses for unique skills means ? Hours and hours if not days of camping. That is not a positive feature my friend.

Well compared to most korean grinders, this is different. The quest system is way more advanced than most korean grinders. For all levels, completing one quest unlocks another quest almost everytime. There are hundreds of quests and a rich storyline. I hate to say it , but it is a lot like World of Warcraft. It doesn't have nearly as many skills, but it has enough content to keep you busy. I've played 2moons, lastchaos, perfect world, sword of the new world, lineage II, fiesta in the past 3 years and this game has a lot more content and features than those games.
