Thang Online

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thang Online is a client-based MMORPG created by the Korean company Ubiport and currently free to play. Still under development, it already boasts a wide range of abilities, armour and three different characters to choose from.

[edit] The Legend of Thang

The story goes that on the eastern side of the continent Om Lit Praga, the people and gods live in harmony and all tribes in the area, instead of warring, lived in peace. Each have their own legends, but one is shared by all: the legend about a god named On-Du. This legend says that one day, the canyon of Mana the Moon will open and On-Du will be blinded. During this time, all the monsters of evil will cross the sacred Rvai mountains (never crossed by anyone before) and when this day comes, even the gods of Sun and Wind will tremble. The land will be plagued with these monsters and all that the tribes had lived off will lose vitality. The legend warns that even domestic animals will succumb to the madness while the world grieves with terror and pain.

But though they grieve, they do not fear, for there will always be young warriors willing to take up the challenge of ridding their world of this darkness. Three warriors, one from each tribe, they above all others will have the power to defeat the evil ones. They are the ones who will fight the doom with dedication and passion. They are the chosen ones who will climb the sacred Rvai Mountains that never allowed any other's footsteps, and they are the ones who receive the spirit of Thang the Phoenix God of the Rvai in their hearts. The Seal of Thang will be opened, and the young warriors, the incarnations of Thang, will tackle each and every disaster ahead of them. Their legend begins now.

[edit] Features

Thang Online features a range of new aspects not normally seen in today's standard massively multiplayer RPGs games. For example, when you defeat a monster, it sometimes transforms into a higher form, or sometimes into a ghost or "hai", which are easy to kill, yet drop Hai's rings which are used in refinements. Refinement is probably the most exciting feature of Thang and makes the game, what it is.

With the introduction of the much anticipated Thang Episode Two comes a new dungeon and many new high level monsters. Also included were new skills for each tribe, a complete re-balance of the Rian and On-du-Sham tribe and some new armor's for the Three tribes, which are usable at level 120+ .

[edit] Refinement

This is the games major feature, and entails a player "refining" armour/weapons to make them stronger.

When refining for Kanoa and Rian the success rate is 99% for +1,+2,+3 and for Mages(on-du-shahm) its 99% at +1 only.

After this 99% (practically 100%) success rate, the use of Hai-rings is normally introduced to prevent items from being consumed by the refinement process. Commonly called "booming" in-game.

These Hai rings range from L1 to L9+2, each giving its own extra chance of sucess. Although the actual effect of hai rings is shrouded in mystery, it is generally accepted, hai rings help.

When refining you need Three things

• Item
• "refinements" (wood, iron etc.)
• Dien (monetry unit used in game)

Hai ring is optional.

When refining the armour begins to "shine"

• at +4(and 5) the armour shines yellow
• at +6(and 7) the armour shines blue
• at +8(and 9) the armour shines red

As you refine the stats the of item go up, if weapons the attack increases, if in armour the defence given increases. With this extra stats are also added to armour/weapons such as Dexterity, Strength etc.

[edit] Lune Mall

Although this game is F2P (free to play) it has content, which can only be accessed through real money. The Lune mall, as it called. Offers many premium items such as +15% attack/defense rings and +50% Experience scrolls. This gives people who can afford to put money into a game a chance to get a strong footing in the game by using the items or selling them to gain large amounts of dien quikly.

[edit] Classes

[edit] Rian-Xena

(female, powerhouse) Xena is the daughter of the elder of the Rian and also the first follower. The style of her attack is agile and precise, and she is also very good with different weapons from all sorts of tribes. Her skill with Nang is particularly outstanding. With the skill unique to the Rian for a very long time, she can ask animals such as birds or insects for help. However, she is physically weak compared to other classes.

Rian tribe is the high hitting class of Thang with highest of all attacks. Rians can level quicker than other tribes; therefore most high level people are Rians. Rians are also better suited for "farming" which is where a player, "drags" multiple MoBs into the effective area of attack, and uses an area attack, to kill them all at the same time.

[edit] Kanhoa-Aerican

(Tankers, all-rounder) Aerican is a superb class. They wield bows, swords and boomerangs(the last being most popular). They are also a good long-distance shooter when using bows. The Kanoa is a well rounded weapon user, and has the highest defence of the three tribes.

[edit] On-Du Sham-Ririsha

(Healers and now attack and defense Buffers, however there strong attacking potential should not be rulled out) They use Tar staffs which attack with wind with skills such as Mondabacki and Shanmau(area). They are also effective with Yelba, which is a fire attack. Ririsha is extremely intelligent; she can do a variety of magic using Yelba, Tar, and Ohra. She also has the ability to integrate Kamalran with magic. Meaning skills can be merged together to create ones with greater force and strength.
