What happened with KalOnline?

[Plucky]

What happened to Kal?
It's old, that's what happened. People got bored and pservers had to innovate to keep people entertained, so new "systems" were created to keep people playing, and that led to where we are today.

Then just the pure fact that only a couple hundred people play KalOnline at all anymore also adds to the fact, it's a quite old game and it just can't compete in the MMO market anymore. Sad but true.

excuse me , not hundreds only ;)

these statistics had been taken by me in certain time

Hidden kal : Online - 409 Players
Kal Of persia : 240 Players
Zoo Online Player Online: 181
Hades kal : 52 Player online
Viper kalonline : 155
Xan Online : 190 Player online
Fusion online was 150+
Incredible was 100+
Shuurin kal 150+
KalShi 300 Player online

so thats over 1.5k i think
thats nice for old game like kal , the best one in my opinion
10 years for online game is really incredible , yea it's so

so yea , many people bored , but still new players coming up to discover the game also some other people are coming back
beside this dev forum had been created for keeping kal alive so ;)

This isn't even worth trying, that kind of server would fail in a few days max, players expect you to have similar/better stuff to int server, cuz it makes them feel like they actually achieved something they couldn't on int xD Longterm oldschool server won't work, you could always launch a server and "make it" oldschool for a few days, till 1st war to bring the old feeling or whatever, but then you have to constantly update it, otherwise it will die.

That's how i see it :P

P.S let's not forget about how players think, no 3rd job = shit server, no matter what you do :D they got used to 3rd job and other addons so it's a must have:(

I agree. That 2-job kal is dead. It was fun though. People are used to the "1 button win" 3rd job shit.

Well, regardless it's in a decline and I highly doubt they are getting new players, it's more likely that old players are coming back. KalOnline just don't have the advertising budget or word of mouth to compete with other games that are out there recruiting the exact same players. Hell even Runescape is doing better.

Everybody is waiting to play SkyForge. One of the American InixSoft developers, Michael or whoever, joined the dev team.

I agree. Servers that are too high rate with this rebirth nonsense are really boring. Kal isn't meant for all this leveling and high grade armor. Makes the game highly imbalanced and boring. I think a decent rate for a server is 100x. It's pretty reasonable. I personally like server more or less closer to int. Shuurin wasn't so bad, but closed.

I think I may have played with you. If you know woopii/Pav aka Alex Swedish dude as yourself. I remember what happened on Eather Server hehe

[Mikloo]

Yea I got scammed, but that was like in 2009 xD

First i believe kalonline kinda died because of three things,
First that there are a lot of tutorials out there explaining and teaching how to make servers, so anybody can make one now .. (but they always stuck in the website)
Second thing is that all server owners created there servers for MONEY, just to make some good fast money, and only some of them made it for fun, which doesn't last long,
Third as they said, because of that shitty high rank servers, and that unbelievable armor states that made it possible to easely one-hit in kalonline (which had the best duel system long time ago, when u was really feel you're dueling)

Finally its really hard to create good rated server and fix everything, it gonna take time from you, and you better pick up some friends that u trust (1~2 max) that help you, or u will get bored, If u succeeded in that, i will make Full website/userpanel that u never saw in kalonline history, all from scratch including all the scripts and functions, and any ideas you wanna add in the website, and i may even create mobile application for the server so players can get notifications for events and so on,

i was quited the kalonline scene, but if this gonna revive it, i can come back, good luck and wish you the best luck.

Finally (2nd finally) sorry for my sucks English, not my mother tongue language!

If KalOnline upgraded the fishing system like this --->



Then they would get more players...lol

Good to see you back @DarkBerzerk old friend :)

There are alot of things that can be done with a KalOnline Private server these days compaired to what we could do 4 years ago for example, I mean you can have BoF Instance, Make your own mobs, Make your own cities 3rd job...etc etc all from the work that this community has done TOGETHER!..... and if you are a half decent coder and reverse coding engineer...mounted pets, a fully working battleUI, fully working theif plus a heck of alot more stuff too...

Well as I know there are only a handful people who do servers for fun and personal relaxations, who got innovative ideas and the power to make them true.

Kallyanna
maree
Fourier
liplay
TranX
Redlight

Furthermore, all of them are still active somehow.
So there is still hope to keep the kal scene alive :) After all the years you could say it has become a family because I always meet the same people on the servers over and over again.
Also some of the listed people started new project so let's see what will happen next.

Kind regards and thank you kallyanna to give me/us some hope to revive this Forum and the fun in Kalonline.

I would be interested if there is still interest in a low rate server...

without all those ultra overkill addons....

Sure, some improvements are useful.

I've recently had a chat with someone, who told me about source kal or source online (forgot the exact name) but it seems that this will be a fully int based server. So there will be only the normal "pserver boosts" as we know it from 2006 - 2008 before these kinky/ highrate stuff.
I'm only interested in playing a normal server without the things i hate from int:
- millions of hours of leveling to be competitive
- RBs for cash
and and and.

For such a server I wouldn't even bother with crashes or anything like that because it's worth to play it. Just remember the times when we had the first eathers server where only 100 people were able to log in. (-:

PS: Sry to blood, forgot to mention your name in my list above, but it seems you've got lazy, we all got.

Long time i've been to the forum!

X-perience and Kalworld are long time gone... all the devlopers quited devlopping, when kalworld launched the new kalonline they had +800 people online.
Also X-perience had +400-500 online all time but we added new stuff every week to keep the people happy.
Most servers now do 1000x xp and 1000x money... messing with everything and adding stuff that has been putted on this forum.

Xperience & kalworld always added something NEW that no other server had... that was the most powerfull thing they had. you dont see it anymore...

Too bad to see kal ps not devlopping anymore...
