First KO isnt free to play u have to get premium service to be able to log everytime u want to, so the montly fee is arounf 8 - 9 $ if im not wrong, the great forgotten temple and other features described are as old as the game itself , the grafics arent great, k2 service is full of mistakes and his website alwayz goin through some trouble,  just some time ago  u couldnt change ur pasword for like 3  months, 2 weeks ago or something someone who dont play the game anymore, just makes profit out of it told me: "right now u cant dupe but  3 weeks ago everybody was duping"(duplicating items), so the game still has big holes , much ppl cheat , almost all server have around 70% turkish population, even some times scheludes have been changed acording to there time zone (yea its called US KO), due to duping the economy in game is alwayz been thorugh the roof, ull be facing the famous "dupe wipes" and there  have chance to lost some itmes u bought didnt knew they were dupes, all good players from almost all server left the game and what u have left are ppl who bought accounts and dont have much skills or talk english lol, so basicly the only thing u will ever consider to play this game are:

1. U are turkish and all ur friends play and probably dupe items everytime they can.
2.U like the pk system (which is only thing this game ever had goin on)

4  million ppl ..... hmm must be around 3.5 mill turkish ppl .

Dont play kinght online xD .. . . well unless u loooooooooove the pk system.


PD: Have nothing against turkish ppl, I have great turkish friends, but its called US KO, and many turkish users cant speak english >_>

Never have even heard of it before.

it IS free to play - With limitations.    Im wondering if they are count registered accounts that are active.    I tried this game for a while and got bored very quickly

Dont worry k2 just trying to hop in the wagon and claim the have/had 4 million users

Completely irresponsible journalism publishing this fairy tale.

Knight Online couldn't get 4 million people to suscribe if they paid people to play it.

All you have to do is notice that K2 publishes it.  We all know the difficult they have with truth.

The ridiculous numbers these free to play games throw around are beyond meaningless.

They miss out 2 words : Registered members

Probably also has something to do with egames shutting down the malaysian version. Everyone leaving there to go to K2suckwork's version, not realizing what a shithole they are going to. That can account for a big jump in KO numbers.

 

Who is this Szark guy? Does he work for mmoorpg?

4 million, yah right.........

What a joke.

And where does it say that they have 4 million Subscribers?

If you read the article, you will notice:

" 4 million registered users"

4 million REGISTRATIONS, not SUBSCRIBERS.

4 Million Accounts , 3 Million of them accounts used for scamming/Duping.

People using KOXP/HeavanFire cheats to Gain 7 times XP bug .. Kill 1 monster an gain 7 times the XP in 1 kill

People upgrading there items via Duping so most people have the top weapons/items/armour theo cheating an K2 have no intention of deleting them items or punishing people who cheat.

Malaysian KO is closing down, K2 employee players as GMs so leads to the GMs spawning Top bosses an killing them to give items to there friends. Macroing isnt punished, many people are MAX lvl due to the cheating.

True 80% are turkish an speak only turkish, so if your looking for people who speak english, there are very few.

If you like Cheating to gain lvls,  to Dupe Items, by attacking faster then you intended to , listening to foreign languages spammed all day no matter how many times u ask them to speak english, not recieve any customer support , not being able to login because they taken ther servers ofline for hours/days, not being able to login because they say its free but if you dont buy premium then u cant login , buy items from merchants then have them deleted because they were duped, be killed in there PK zones because people using Multiple attacks via 3rd party programs ...etc....etc...etc...etc 

 

My advise .. stay well away, In fact id go as far to say ... play WOW ( An i dont like WOW

)

Ok I agree I used the word suscribers badly.  Thanks for pointing that out.

I did not explain myself very well.  While a pay to play MMO counts the number of paying customers, these free MMO's count every registration since time began, while in essence, only a small portion actually still play the game.

Yet these pundits through these meaningless numbers around as if they actually mean something.  Just recently, an article posted that runescape had 10 milion registered users, when anyone can tell you their servers could not support 1/20th of that number.

Articles quoting free to play numbers need to qualify what they actually mean.
