King of Kings III is a 3D massively multiplayer role playing game (“MMORPG”) with a European magical theme. The King of Kings series was first developed in Taiwan in 2000 and was one of the first MMORPG’s operated in the Greater China region. With an existing base of loyal players, King of Kings III will introduce many new elements to seasoned fans of the series.
All New Features
To reduce the downtime found in many MMORPGs for searching and determining destinations, King of Kings III utilizes a fully automatic navigation system. Players will no longer have to search for non-player characters (“NPC”). Just click on the destination, NPC or target, and the character will automatically follow the correct route. To reduce the boring and repetitive tasks found in many MMORPGs, an automatic combat system is also present to help fight, cast spells against, and use skills on monsters. Like the previous games in the series, King of Kings III features a variety of roles to select. Players start out by choosing between 3 basic classes. As players progress through the game, up to 27 roles can be unlocked for players to choose from. If players complete certain tasks, they can be reborn as a deity and play 2 different roles at the same time. For example, a player can be both a knight and a sorcerer, both a wizard and a paladin, or both a death dealer and a high priest. The combinations are endless! In addition, there are new beasts available to the players. Not only a form of transportation, beasts also exhibit new combat skills. Besides pets and beasts, players can also gain intelligent spirits to help enhance skills, manage virtual items, heal characters, etc.
Engaging Storyline
King of Kings III follows the narration style of the past King of Kings games, depicting a dreamy legend of gods and the complexity of humanity. But this time the story of King of Kings III has spread from the disputes of the gods over a single world to their wars on 9 different worlds. Guided by these events, players can gradually obtain the power to overcome gods, and a select few can even become the new defenders of their entire worlds. Their responsibilities would be to command all their domains and safeguard their followers, in order to repel the invasion of foreign powers. New domains and new rules of the world will evolve in front of the players, while both heaven and the hell are waiting for players to explore.
Casual Elements
Aside from the intense, story-driven MMORPG, King of Kings III also offers mini-games to engage all types of players. Players can attend masquerade parties, compete to become the king or queen of the ball, test their luck by stealing eggs from a slumbering dragon, and many more! These casual forms of entertainment provide players a break from the fierce fighting in the game.
King of Kings III is currently undergoing development and testing in Taiwan, and is coming to China in 2008.
