Most current games are based on western fantasy, science fiction, etc. but KAL-Online can give players a new experience. The story of KAL-Online is based on an oriental myth about the 74th war between Ha-Nin, the great king, and Ban-Go who challenged the king with troops of demons. SYNOPSIS: Quickening of Naraeha The sky and the land are open by Hanin and a nantion of Hwan is been built on the east. For 3,300 years, the nation of Hwan was the master of the world and the king of Hwan, Guhbalkhan establishes a huge country called Naraeha that the size of the territory is 12,000 miles to the north & south with 5,000 miles to the west & east. 14th King, Ha-Nin Rules the Sky 14th king Hanin accedes to the throne and new sky has been open.

They break the agreement that not to invade each other and attack Naraeha. The king Hanin angers with their attack and he mobilizes his entire troop with fully equipped. The troops of Hanin and the king himself attack the troop of tribe of Hwasan. Hanin occupied Dangsang on that battle and it's called the great battle of Dangsang. After the great battle of Dangsang all the colonies surrendered but the tribe of Tow never give up and the great warrior of Tow attacks Hanin with his troop that are twice much bigger than Hanin's troop.

He attacked the Naraeha again and again with his troop but he could not win in any battle for 10 years. After his troop is completely destructed, he has to retreat to the North from Ha-Nin's troop. The King of Demons At the end of the North he met the king of the demons who has lost his body at the Canyon of the Dead Man and he made a contract with the demon king for making his revenge to Ha-Nin.

4 Guild Wars Outstanding originality? By Guild Wars Game Info ( Join a New Generation of Online Roleplaying Guild Wars takes the best elements of today's massively multiplayer online games and combines them with a new mission-based design that eliminates some of the more tedious aspects of those games. You can meet new friends in towns or outposts, form a party, and then go tackle a quest together. Your party always has its own unique copy of the quest map, so camping, kill-stealing, and long lines to complete quests are all things of the past. Within a Guild Wars quest you have unprecedented freedom and power to manipulate the world around you; with the dynamic quest system, your accomplishments have a unique influence on your future. You don't have to spend countless hours on a leveling treadmill to get to the interesting parts of the game, because combat is designed to be strategically interesting and challenging right from the beginning. You don't have to spend hours running around the world to prepare for a quest, because Guild Wars allows you to instantly travel to the beginning of any quest that you've previously unlocked. You'll never spend days playing, only to discover that the choices you made early have left you with a permanently uncompetitive character. The unique skill system in Guild Wars encourages infinite experimentation but doesn't allow early choices to limit a character. And you'll never meet new players only to discover that you can't play with them or compete against them because their characters are on a different server than yours; in Guild Wars, all characters live in one seamless world. A Variety of Choices Guild Wars heroes come in all types: male and female, large and small, and in any of 36 combinations of the six professions: Warrior, Ranger, Monk, Elementalist, Mesmer, and Necromancer. With more than 150 unique skills per character, which can be combined for any number of effects, the possibilities are mind boggling. In addition, you can create up to four heroes per unique Guild Wars account. New heroes can be deleted and created at any time, allowing you to create specialized characters or to have fun experimenting with profession combinations, skills, and attributes until you create the hero that suits you best. Built for Competition If you like Player-versus-Player competition, Guild Wars was made for you. In addition to building up a character by undergoing missions and quests, you can choose to create a character specifically for head-tohead PvP competition or guild warfare. The game is designed to reward player skill and teamwork, not time spent playing, so you won't need to spend hundreds of hours leveling up your character to compete. The game includes integrated support for guilds, with the ability to create unique guild emblems, to acquire guild halls, and to keep in touch through in-game guild messaging. Guilds can challenge other guilds to battle, compete for control of key parts of the world, and be ranked on a worldwide ladder. Heading Unique Streaming Technology ArenaNet's unique streaming technology forever eliminates the concept of patching a game. You don't have to wait a month for the next big patch to experience new content. Instead, the game constantly and intelligently streams new content to your computer in the background while you play. The world can and will change continually. This allows you to experience a much more dynamic game world than any that has existed before.
