Kal Online
Kal Online is an mmorpg created by the Korean company Inixsoft[1]. The player is given a choice of three professions including a Knight, a Mage, or an Archer. A forth class (Thief) is scheduled to be released in November 2008.
Each class can progress in levels and when reaching level 50 can progress to a new job-type. Archers can become Expert Archers or Imperial Commanders. Knights can become Vagabond Swordsman or Commanders, Mages can become Hermits or CJB's.
Each class has its own strengths and weaknesses.
A player can customize his character by adding stat and skill points each level up.
To achieve a level up, the player needs to kill monsters, and complete quests, given by NPCs (non playing characters)
There are also Animal Eggs which players can hatch into a animal which gives the player's character more points.
The types of Animals are: Tiger, good for a knight, Panther, good for a archer, Bird, good for a mage. and later by the end of 2008 there's going to be a Forth animal, portable ATM machine to match the needs of the player ElfenLied.
Some of the representation of characters/minorities in the game have been criticized as being racially and sexually stereotypical[2]
