Even on broadband this thing downloaded at a ridiculous 16k/sec. This thing needs a few mirror sites, and open beta to other countries.

This game has been in beta test in korea for over a year. Its just been a closed beta where you had to get picked to do it.

It is supposed to be official, although playmore isnt making it.

Don't bother downloading it. Slow as shit and then it doesn't work. You prolly need software to make it compatible with your US OS or a Korean verification number or something.

Also we can't tell anything from those tiny screenshots, what are they trying to hide? It looks cool but you never know.

Someone that is able set this up and let us know how it is. The game has been in closed BETA for like a year now and I forgot about it until now.

I'm too scared to download it. It'll probably give me nightmares for weeks. Most fan-games do, and one with netplay is just going too damn far.

Not to mention that I'm not exactly in the mood to get past all of that Korean.

Replay from KOF Online about letting US people play:

hi^^
This is the Webmaster of KOF online.
first, thank you for your concern about our game.
and i'm really glad to get contact from you.


as you have seen. our game support only Korean just now.you can download game.
but, would not be able to get account for join to our game because you can get the account for game only by submit the ID which identify nationality(of course,Korea)...i think you naturally don't have the ID like me,korean.


Second, our game is under Open beta test in Korea from 04/15/2003. after testing several facts,we are planning to launch the international version.it may be sooner or later.


i feel annoyed to tell you like this,i guess it's hard for you to enjoy our KOF in current situation.but i'll never forget your great concern and love about our game.


i promiss you to notice primarilly if some transparent plan in game for fan like you established.


i wish you can be satisfied with our reply.
thank you for your concern about our game again.
have a nice day.bye

Rub it in why don't you. tickled

Glad to hear the national release is still under consideration cuz I wanna try this shit out.

Also, just in case anyone is interested. Korea is infamous for its extremely popular, extremely crowded, extremely shitty online games. Because like 99% of the population over there plays video games companies realized they can release utter shit and still turn a profit. I have had the misfortune of BETA testing many Korean online games and all I have to say is...thank God for high US standards. tickled

I wouldn't get your hopes up for this game, but I'm still gonna rape it once I'm able. buttrock

I thought something was fishy. It has a nice interface, but I don't feel like making an account and all that type of stuff.

I just noticed that the magazine Player Online ran a KOF online article. Here is a picture of the magazine which is from yesasia.com.
