Based on a story written by three generations of Chinese novelists, Hero Online is a free-to-play MMORPG that is set in a fantastic version of ancient China. Players begin the game like any other MMOG and create characters, but they do not select a character class until level 10. Once level 10 has been acquired, the players pick from four different classes and eventually receive a "secondary promotion" at level 50 that allows them to specialize even further.

As is typical for most imported Asian MMOGs, Hero Online is a free-to-play game that runs entirely off of a micro-transaction business model that allows players to buy particular items for real world money. The gameplay in Hero Online generally revolves around killing monsters in the environment (PvE) but player versus player encounters are not uncommon.

One interesting feature in Hero Online is the "Prison Camp" where players who engage in constant PvP are sent when they die. If they are sent there, these players have to work off their "bad karma" by killing monsters for the NPCs in the area.
