Dear Kalonline User.
I am Jun Bae, the general manager of Inixsoft.
Currently, I am working on 3rd job change as you guys told me.
It's not so easy, because if we make 3rd job change too easy then the economical balance of the game will break down. The best way is to improve it gradually.
Believe or not, the dropping quantity of Dokkebi Horn is increased recently as 8th mirror did too.
We are monitoring it and will adjust it as monitored results.
Last friday, Thanatos CBT website is opened.
As a man loves Kalonline so much, I don't like it much.
I fought with the company a lot, many of objections.
Thus, this Thanatos CBT will be held as just an event for Kalonline users with many of Kalonline items, including couple of infernal destroyers and many of heavenly executioners.
One thing I am very sure and can tell you is that, Thanatos and Kalonline is totally different team.
Kalonline is still the most loved game from INIXSOFT and developing Nirvanah or any updates for Kalonline will not be bothered at all.
Telling you the truth, developing Nirvanah is getting delayed, but I swear it's not because of Thanatos.
Because Kalonline is very old game and current developers needed to analyse all the old developed source codes. This was the main cause of delay.
But as a general manager of INIXSOFT, I guarantee you it is on the process.
I love Kalonline a lot, and Kalonline will be the most loved game outside and inside of the company.
Hope you guys understand it.
Yes, Im watchin you :v
ReplyDeleteKalonline is dead now. not because it is a bad game. Its actually a very good game, its just InixSoft never listened to its customers so it lost %60 of its players. Because of the loss you had to get rid of the third server.
ReplyDeleteYou act as if you care about the players but dont actually respond to the players at all.
Thanatos will KILL KalOnline, it has a better engine, better graphics, more characters and just better experience.
If your engine is so old then why not just scrap it and Create KalOnline 2 or something? call it KalOnline Redemption. Something to bring players back. U need a better Engine and updated models. What you have is nothing compared to other people.

ReplyDeletewho was this decision driven by then? the company's owner himself?
ReplyDeleteKalOnline is already degenerating and you have proven that your company is unable to give it a new path.
Yet players stay, because they like the community and bits of the game. You however seem to believe that stay because of Inixsoft.
No one likes Inixsoft (that much). You even tolerate the #1 (V3RSUS) player of server 2 to do geon selling, real money leaching services which he does by hacking and botting in d2, d6 .. I cannot imagine any other company where such a player would still be playing their game. Guess your scared of blocking him n others alike, since you would lose a top player but because of players like him countless others who would actually generate income quit, which he himself would never do. Not to speak of the effect of raising ingame kc prices by geon botting and selling. Well done.
Thanatos has no potential. Your company is unable to advertise against the big players. So the only players you can get are
1) KalOnline players who already quitted and get to know about the game
this won't work because the majority of them stopped playing because of your company's (in-existing) service
2) The players who currently play KalOnline
this might work depending on how good the game is. Yet you will pull lets say half of the players over to the new game.
this then is too little to provide a nice gameplay in Thanatos, but enough to kill kal because of a too little community and therefore too little income.
Game over :)
I am not sure, if you are still watching or not.
DeleteBut if you are, please answer me.
Can you explain me your term that "You even tolerate the #1 player of server 2 to do geon selling, real money leaching services which he does by hacking and botting"??
If we did, then it is terrible thing we have done.
I want to fix these problem.

DeleteHacking and botting?
Delete#1 please go and read what "hack" means then write such things.
#2 Real money leeching services? Many people leeching others for geons mostly buying Kal Cash to pay their leeching providers which is good for Inix I think.
#3 People who are leeching selling their time which isn't illegal in CS policy even if its real money it has nothing to do with kal
Some people are just jealousy because they can't do the things which others can and especially about top players so please Mr Bae don't look so real on such comments.
V3RSUS
@VERSUS
DeleteMaybe things work entirely different on Server2 but: the C/S policy clearly says that any use of illegal programs (which i would count macro recorders in) is forbidden.
So it has nothing to do with jealousy when people complain about the abuse of the game by such programs (every infant can use it, not much intelligence needed) because it allows the users to gain advance in time/exp/money without any effort.
And to make things worse: those programs are used in the so called "leech parties", eg. Emok Bears (dont tell me that a person will run the exact same path for 10 hours or use the exact same skills in the exact same time for 10 hours) or in D6 (where even the contents of the game are manipulated (erased mobs so your char wont get stuck in the rooms while he is controled by a macro - which is clearly forbidden by the game policy)).
So I realy don't see anything positive in what you mentioned above.
@Stefan
DeleteSo maybe its weird but i exped my ascetic without macro , even on emok bears luring manually for much time (even 10h+) by myself if i couldn't find people who wanna lure for me, and yes i agree macro botting for all best spots is bad but it wasn't like I leech totally without any effort for sure.
Greetings
As a matter of a fact I read this now, but I suppuse you (Jun Bae) are not anymore.
DeleteIf you read it however be assured, there is much worse than him and his d2 bot pt and automated emok party, I was just using this as an example how little control you have.
If you would like to have a chat about the entire problem, feel free to tell me a method of contact and we can have a chat.
With the Christmas box event you have proven that you want to make 3rd job easier
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with zickzack, KalOnline is dying.
Thanatos is something i'm looking forward to, but if you want it to run you will have to advertise it. Go global. If you don't have resources go on blogs, game rankings, game review sites, do some massive Facebook events. It will be even harder because you have choose such a common name for a game. I goggled thanatos and it is everywhere.
And don't forget to add ONLINE GM'S in thanatos. This will be the fastest bug feedback and hacking.
Online gm's is what KalOnline still needs. I don't know if KalOnline could even be saved in any way, drop rate of items is still to low, prices of g65 armor is to high and regarding to how many players are 80+ there are too little g70 armor drops.
Found this blog today and will continue to read it. I'm in KalOnline since 2008, it has a good system, bud a bad support team. Even registering for new players is to hard. People can't even register on all browsers. And the engine download is still very old, so new players need more then 30mins to update the engine
oh started playing on october 2005 and not 2008 :)
DeleteHi
ReplyDeleteDo you have any plans to stop or punish players who exploit things like macro? At this moment 80/100 from hanin top100 play like this just staying 24/7 afk. They do nothing and in their party they have thieves which have macro and deleted mobs. What is the point of still playing, when people like this will always have an advantage over me in level and money. Apparently some people said a GM monitoring situation, went to their spot and did nothing and after that they were laughing at people like me that they can do that all they want and noone will do anything to them. Think about what I just said because a lot of people stopped playing because of people like them and a lot will follow. Before there was only around 20 people doing this but now its starting to get out of hand. Everyday a new macro party is formed, no free rooms to play fair - this is the main problem in kalonline at this moment.
thanks kalplayer, I agree 100%
ReplyDeletethese players destroy the gameplay of the entire game/server.
gms had the chance to react and take action when it started with Gigantic Species Masters, now its fully out of hands.
they should block these players for a month, and the next time they do it for two, etc. to regain control without losing 80/100 ranked players forever. and those who started lately can hardly be blamed since others do it for almost 2 years.
all this is happening because gms have absolutely no clue of what is going on.
furthermore these players play at the same spot all time, dont use rb, dont use movings, etc.
all they use is an exp stone and maybe asadal n pets. while legit lvlers use all that getting way less exp AND drops.
furthermore Lightening Arrow activation has to be limited to lets say 50 hits so only active leveling can be made with it.
ReplyDeleted6 bot parties can be easily found by gms who then can take action
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10546053/1st%20problems.docx
ReplyDeletehere I posted the 1st problems with Thanatos
I can only agree with most of what the other people above said.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can tell you what helps:
-Bring GMs in game and be there not only for 1 hour/day.
-Play your own game from lvl1 to lvl85.
I had high hopes when you started this blog, but besides the improvement with the droprate of Doggebi Lord Horns, it is all the same old story.
I offered my help many times - in C/S center, here, but the longer Kalonline stays the same, the more likely it will die.
One friendly advice, if I may...:
ReplyDeleteStop thinking about the game's economy. It is ALREADY destroyed because of very low droprates for many years! The only way to get higher weapons or armor was to spend huge amounts of Kalcash (which is good for you, but a bad joke for players). Also - did you ever calculate how expensive it is to make an Artificial Heavenly Executioner Armor/Short??? You need the same money as for a REAL one (lol, 21 Diamond Stones, 120kk e/a... good joke). Increase the success rate of changing Diamond Ores, or lower the amount of Diamond Stones...
And your attempt to make 3rd hob change cheaper was nice but won't succeed for a very good reason:
-The Doggebi Lord can be killed only 1 time per day.
-That means the number of Doggebi Lord Horns is limited.
-And this means (you can see this if you log in the game and watch the shops) the people that sell this item will keep the high prices (it is already happening!).
Solution:
-Make the Doggebi Lord Horn AND the Complete Emoogi scale drop in Picture of Hell.
-Make it a bound item for the people who need it for their 3rd job change.
Question:
-Why do you care about the ingame economy now all of a sudden???
-The ingame economy is destroyed since many years now because of Kalcash being the only way to achieve something (like I mentioned above...).
Better stop being scared of destroying the economy, because the players need drastical changes NOW!!!
If you don't take action soon, Kalonline can be closed forever (which would make me very sad).
i started playing kalonline in 2005 and was atracted by the chance to transform myself into a tiger..and i was there with friends since then. but i admit i was forced to buy geons to make jc, and to get items. because the droprate was always in mode: "your real life for 1 drop"..
ReplyDeleteAnd lets not forget that high level players control all the world boss fights and don't want to share them.(EspartA, Naise, Lojko, c6 etc etc). Because they control the bossfight, they can sell the drops for whatever price they want(they do because they level with macro's afk all the time and become so high that they are unbeatable, DO SOMETHING AGAINST THIS CMON!!!!!!!!!!!) If you try to do a boss like Master Elements they just plop it and some players are DeathLuring you for it ^^. This game needs a drastic change in bossfights/drop rates. Make the bosses like Mautareta, an instance dungeon which U can do like 1 time a week with a group, and then give that group a week cooldown or something. And increase the droprate of g65 + items because they are so incredibly low.
ReplyDeleteSolution:
DeleteMake bosses (for example Masters at D5, Doggebi Lord, Emok Boss, etc.) as an instance you can enter with parties at the same time without interferring each other - like Picture of Hell.
Example : Water Essence on the Hanin server is sold for 200-250kk at this moment....
ReplyDeletethat is crazy
DeleteThat is subsequent because of INIX not taking care of low drop rates and never playing the game in a straight way (from lvl1 to lvl85 for example, which is pretty much the end of the line you can reach in a normal way).
DeleteDear Mr Jun Bae,
ReplyDeleteI can imagine you have a lot of work and not much time for this blog but please show some reactions... 5 min a day would be fine too :)
There are many solutions for the current problems. How you see a lot of Players are thinking about how to improve gameplay, not all of them are the best but there are some good ones. I remember there was a poll system on your homepage this would be the best way to get solutions for some important changes.
Also i wondered where Arara is gone ... the happy guy from your facebook page with the funny little drawings? Or is it still Arara? In the past he posted everyday some funny stuff and now not even once a week... looks like someone just copy the notice from the homepage to the facebook page... I miss Arara ^.^
Thank you for your time :)
Dear Mr. Jun Bae...
ReplyDeleteIn case you didn't notice: there are a lot of accounts being hacked again!!!
For your information:
This is not the first time, your game gets hacked. It happened many times in the past. And it happens when weekend starts because the hackers know that it will take 3-4 days for you to respond to CS messages then.
It is about time you change something:
-Improve the security of your game instead of spending money on a new game.
-Get ingame GMs into the game and make their names public so the ppl can call them when something happens instead of waiting 3-4 days on a CS reply where you tell them "we can't help you, we are sorry".
My advice:
-Do a server rollback.
-Improve your security.
-Take care for your game 24/7.
Dear Mr. Jun Bae,
ReplyDeletemost likely you are very busy with fixing the hacking problems right now.
Related to the recent attacks (because mostly accounts that were involved in macro parties were hacked), I would like to make some suggestions on changing the gameplay so noone has to use macros anymore, even if he is a high level.
My suggestions are the following:
A) Restrict the amount of lurable mobs to like 10-20 per party. If players try to get hostiliy on more mobs, the overcounting mobs should just plopp.
B) Increase the EXP per mob like 10-20 times. Increase the strength of the mobs by 10%.
C) The changes in A) and B) will lead to more places where players can enjoy the game because with the same amount of mobs there will be simply more mobs for more parties (I hope you understand my point).
D) Make areas for players with lvl 85+ where the mobs give again like 10-20 times EXP. The effect will be that all the People with lvl 85+ can enjoy the game again and make Progress in game with normaly playing. They will not have to abuse macro programs anymore.
E) This will make the game more enjoyable.
F) If the game is more enjoyable, this means more money by Kalcash for YOU.
G) Simple. If you have any further questions, please let me know how I can hand forward some detailed plans to you.
H) Thank you for reading and thinking about it.
It just needs check md5 check sum 3d models, dlls etc (without textures). No delete mobs - no macro (d6) etc. I think its very very simple and effective. Maybe something like stamina?
Deletehow about actually banning the abusers? stop trying to find a work around for the real problem.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteyeah, you made up the rules in FAQ to which everyone agreed. Level of players shouldnt matter, they all would have to get a ban. And the others will stop abusing bugs and bots
ReplyDeleteI agree with you but if you see what happened over the years - some players seem to be "more valuable" than others. And unless this wont change, the abusing will continue because the FAQ seems only to apply for normal people... :-(
ReplyDeleteJun Bae, why would you make the title "Anyone still watching this blog?"
ReplyDeletewhy would we be watching this blog? we stop because you stop, we cant have a conversation with you because you stop replying to us. every single time this blog gets going, its stops again when you stop. YOU are the one that needs to keep this going, Not us, So get more active and give us answers.
I'm checking this site almost every day but it's a bit dissappointing to see that big gaps between your activities, Mr. Jun Bae.
DeleteThis site only makes sense if there is a constant flow of Information and communications :-(
Dear Mr. Jun Bae
ReplyDeleteI hope u still check this blog. A few of my friends quit because they lost interest in kal after losing all their money into mixing with weapons or adding bead of fire to armor.
You see now the same happend to me, i can accept 30 fails or 40 fails but I got over 83 fails... you gotta admit that this is a bit weird.
So can u do something about this because I losing my mood of game and i`m not the only one who feel this way.
U ask question about ppl who sell geons for real cash: all high characters who quit sold stuff and geons for real cash - we report this for years but looks like Inix just ignore us.
HELOOOOOO???????
ReplyDeleteAnybody out there??????
