I've played Knight Online from 2002 to 2004 in KOR, when USKO came up, I went to ARES, then DIEZ, and after knowing pretty much everything there is to know about the game I settled on XIGENON (3rd USKO server to open up), all of it Pre-"Pay to play" or "PUS". Becoming #1 on the server as El Morad playing Priest (BP style), named kivah. I was ALWAYS #1 on the Colony Zone and PvP solo playing over 90% of the time in the area, before in game shop was a thing, the game was amazing to play, there were no such things as queues, KOSP or any of that. Reaching level 60 was the main point to hit the Colony Zone for proper PVP dominance (62 preferred), there were no players in the world whatsoever at level 63 at that point despite mage parties farming constantly. It was a game you could play, enjoy, not have an issue with getting banned for no reason and cheating wasn't on the board back then as there were no means of doing so. As soon as the "PUS" came out and much of the tables leaked, cheating was everywhere, the "Premium" came out as a subscription method and without it, server queues that were never a thing before then started, which you could only skip if you paid a Premium membership. Back then despite having no official achievements in the game I managed to farm the first full Chitin Shell set (Boots were the issue on that front as they'd only drop from Troll Berserkers), yet the grind and farm were a big part of the game as well as fun to do. Having items at +7 or even +8 wasn't rare, it was legendary, under 1% of players had a +7 item even less had a +8, there were no "Trina's" or any of that. This was a F2P game from 2002/04 KOR and 2004/06-7 USKO, after that it became a cesspool of cheating and money grabbing to which everyone seems to still be adhering to 20 years later. I would not recommend this game to anyone as even if you are the ONE player on a server, paying for your PUS store items and memberships and not cheating, YOU will be the one getting banned while everyone else carries on cheating without repercussions and you will NOT hear back from the company or see your money back. This isn't conjecture or speculation it's factual. You will definitely be better off finding a private server for nostalgia sake and not paying anything just to have a bit of fun and enjoy yourself rather than trying to play the game as I did in the early 2000s and having the intended game experience. This is NOT Knight Online, you will NOT get anything out of this version if you plan on Re-Playing the game you played 20 years back, and my personal as well as professional advice (If you get paid to play the game it does count as professional advice, which I did get paid to play by Karus players to clear Colony Zone areas for their own parties to have access to them, so they'd actually pay me to move in, 1v8 the other faction party and camp them until they left and let the paying party farm the area unbothered by myself, if any other El Morad player would go for them, not my problem, if Karus tried to steal, I'd walk in and get rid of them.) as such, don't waste your money, and more importantly your time here. It is not Knight Online as it was meant to be, you WILL get banned without so much as an email explanation as to why, you will NOT get any money you pay into it back, and you will NOT have a pleasant experience. Please, do STAY AWAY from this game. Why it came to be on Steam is beyond me, yet Steam does act as a part of "Collective Shout" since early 2025 so I'm not surprised they keep it up to get their share from the generated sales. My warning stands, do with it as you wish, add and contact me for further clarification as well as 20+ year old screen shots of what the game was and the long version as to why you must stay away from this.

Unplayable game, it lets u install but then once its trying to load it tells u to go to the steam KO page to verify to be 18+ which makes no sense at all..

Soo Recommendation is remove it from steam....
