IRVINE, Calif. – September 13, 2007 – K2 Network, Inc. (K2network.net), a premier online game publisher, today announced that the new Moradon Expansion patch for Knight Online is now live. This newest and largest content expansion includes a host of new features, including a revamped and totally redesigned Moradon Castle, and new hunting areas to adventure, trade and meet fellow Knights.

“We are proud to announce the release of Moradon: The Resurrection,” said Gokhan Kazar, Associate producer of the Knight Online Team. “The Moradon patch is something we have been gearing towards for many months now and we think the Knight Online players will be happy with what it has to offer.”

Bigger and Better Moradon

There is more area to explore and hunt in the new Moradon. The actual size of the town and the area to hunt monsters has been greatly increased! In order to leave Moradon though, you will have to attain level 35. This will allow players to join clans and learn more about teamwork earlier in the game.

New Quests to Complete

There are new quests to train players how to upgrade weapons and armor! Check with [Blacksmith] Heppa in Moradon to learn more. There are also quests to acquire new ranks of Knighthood and to obtain a pet to fight alongside you!

Pets

By completing a quest from [Familiar Trainer] Kate in Moradon, players can receive a pet egg that will hatch their new companion! Pets can fight alongside their masters, transform into other monsters, use skills to increase their master’s statistics, and even help gather treasure from fallen monsters!

The New Knight System

There are now 3 levels of knighthood in this new expansion. Once a clan has reached rank 3, they will be able to complete a quest in order to attain the rank of Squire. After reaching 252,000 Clan Points and completing the next quest, they will be able to become Knights. Finally, after amassing 1,080,000 Clan Points and defeating a very difficult foe, they can reach Royal Knighthood.

Each Knighthood level has 5 ranks and depending on how many Clan Points the clan has acquired, the clan will rise from rank 5 to rank 1 in each level. Once they have become rank 1, they can complete the quests listed above to advance their Knighthood level.

New Clan Communication Feature

There is a new clan communication feature called “Clan Notice”. Players will be able to post notices that the entire clan can see to organize events or important information that the clan needs to be aware of.

New Items

Through the new Juraid Mountain event, players will be able to attain precious gems of a multitude of colors that can be placed into the Chaotic Generator to exchange for special NEW unique items only available through this process! These new uniques include earrings, rings, belts, armor and weapons such as the String of Skulls and the Hero’s Valor!

Class Skill Changes

Mages and Rogues have had a few skill changes in the new expansion. Mages have had changes to Frozen Blood, Ice Staff, Lightening Staff, and Blink while Rogues have had damage output increased on their Blood Beast, Blinding, and Beast Hiding skills.

The Moradon Battle Arena

Ever wanted to challenge another party or clan to a battle but don’t want to change zones? Well now you can with the new Moradon Battle Arena! This new PvP enabled area inside of Moradon has no level requirement and everyone is an enemy except for people in your party.

New Event Dungeons and Wars

PvP in Knight Online just got even better with the addition of the Border Defense Wars and Juraid Mountain! There are low-level (35-45) and mid-level (60-69) Border Defense Wars which take place during specific times in the day. The objective is to be the first to destroy the other nation’s monument. If the monuments are not destroyed, the winner will be determined by the number of kills.

Juraid Mountain is a high level (70-80) PvP event where the objective is to fight through 3 separate rooms to reach the center room where the Boss must be defeated. The 2 nations will start at opposite ends of the map and work their way to the middle. The winning nation in this event will obtain precious gems which can be turned in to the Chaotic Generator for some very rare unique items!

The New Clan Point Contribution System

This new expansion allows Clan Leaders to have more control over their clan. Clan members also have a chance to contribute more and take more responsibility in the clan. There are two types of Clan Point contribution systems that can be chosen by the Clan Leader. The first is manual contribution where a set contribution amount can be determined by the player. The second is automatic contribution which pulls a percentage of National Point gain from each member of the clan to contribute to their Clan Points. Clan Points are used to determine Clan Rank and Level. Clan Points can also be used to purchase capes for the clan. If a player quits a clan, the clan will lose the total amount that the member has contributed. The member will only get a 30% refund of their total contribution as well.

Training Dummies

There are 3 different levels of training dummies located in Moradon for players to check damage levels and skill use (level 30, 60, and 80). There are also fixed and moving targets for players to practice on.

Clan Symbol Flags in Moradon

The top 5 clans in each nation will have their clan symbol attached to a flag that is flown in Moradon. Now everyone on the server can see which clan ranks supreme!

Fortune Teller

Curious what the future holds for you? If so, for 10,000 Noahs you can get your fortune from Fortune Teller McKin in Moradon!
