The third and last closed beta event for NHN Corporation’s new free-to-play MMORPG Karos Online will be held this Friday and Saturday (27th/28th November), offering players a unique opportunity to preview gameplay with high-level characters. NHN announced today that two guild-focused Mine Takeovers have been scheduled to take place during the event; one on each day. "Our last closed beta event will allow players who enjoy guild PvP to jump straight into it at a high level," said Heejin Jeong, Senior Overseas Sales Manager at NHN Corporation. "Throughout the event, new characters can be brought up to the highest available level (44) within minutes, enabling fast access to specialist skills that are really effective in massive battles like the Mine Takeovers, as well as in questing and dungeons. We're also stocking the characters up with currency, equipment and items, making it easy for players to explore, fight and craft at an advanced level right from the start."
The upcoming beta event also introduces a new character class: the dark and dangerous Sorceress, who channels the ancient mystical power within her Shadow blood to weaken and destroy opponents. At level 15, a Sorceress can become a Banshee, whose debuffs and curses render enemies helpless, or a Spellbinder who focuses on inflicting damage with a variety of magical attacks. The Sorceress class will be playable during the event, along with the previously announced classes of Blader (two-handed melee attacks), Rogue (dual-wielded attacks), Bowmistress (ranged missile attacks) and Mystic (ranged magical attacks).
To apply for beta participation, simply create an account at Karos Online's website and click 'Apply Now'. If you have been accepted into a previous beta event, you will receive instructions two to three days before the event begins -- there is no need to re-apply. As a special bonus for players participating in the final closed beta event, all character names will be bound to their corresponding player accounts for later use in open beta and launch (this applies to names only; the characters themselves will be wiped prior to open beta). The open beta will begin on the 4th of December, and the English release of Karos Online is scheduled for Q4 2009. German and Turkish versions will follow in 2010.

Karos Online is a brand new free-to-play fantasy MMORPG developed by Galaxy Gate (lead developers of Laghaim and Last Chaos), to be published by NHN. An English release is scheduled for Q4 2009, with German and Turkish versions to follow.
In Karos Online, players take the role of a hero determined to defeat the curse of darkness falling over the world of Asmara and ascend to ultimate glory by becoming the mythical Karos warrior. Through questing, guild clashes and mass PvP, they enter the fight for domination over the world's vital energy source, Fletta. Fletta provides the basis for the game's unique and complex alternate progression system; alongside traditional leveling within the game, Fletta energy can be used to increase stats, give buffs, buy resources and enchant items.
With a strong RPG component, wide range of class skills and fantastic visual combat effects, Karos Online offers a rich player experience and an exciting end-game for guilds, including castle sieges and resource control points. There are a variety of dynamic dungeons to explore, with shifting paths and surprises to challenge players as they progress in level. The economy is well-developed, with mining, fishing and crafting elements, and a consignment system for storage.
Karos Online offers rare graphical quality for its small client size, has low minimum requirements, and will be accessible to a vast range of computers. Videos demonstrating graphics and gameplay are now available on the official website at www.karosgame.com, and more features will be revealed as the closed beta test continues.
