Kwonho Update Tomorrow!

[Dreakon]

Dear KwonHo Users,

On Wednesday, June 13th, at approximately 4:00 AM PDT, the KwonHo service will be undergoing maintenance. This maintenance will last for approximately six hours. During this time, the KwonHo Service will be unavailable.

The new patch will consist of the following changes:
-Skill adjustments
-New avatar items: One top, and one bottom
-Networking changes**

**Because of the latency issues in the current KwonHo Service, we are going to use the networking technology that was used in the first Closed Beta. Please note that once the Service comes back online, problems may occur. We apologize for any inconvenience you may encounter. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work on latency issues during the Open Beta and work to deliver the best 3D fighting game experience online.

Sincerely,
ijji.com

The first Closed Beta was damn-near lagless compared to the second Closed Beta and the current Open Beta. If you tried Kwonho before and were disappointed by the severe game-breaking lag, be sure to give it a second chance.

Looking forward to this. I decided to stop playing because of the lag....Hopefully this will atleast cut it down.

I guess I'll give it another try. But if the population remains low, will they scrap the game like they did to gunster?

[Dreakon]

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the lag in the closed beta worse than it is right now?

There were two closed betas. The first closed beta, personally, was much, much less laggy then the second closed beta and the open beta to this point.

With the update, I haven't noticed a huge improvement in lag though. >_> I'm rather disappointed. If I don't notice a personal improvement over the next day or so I might have to put Kwonho behind me and clear up the 800mb on my PC. It'll be better used on a game I can actually play.

Don't get me wrong though, feel free to try it again yourself. I hear some people are doing much better lag-wise since the patch.

But if the population remains low, will they scrap the game like they did to gunster?

I certainly hope not. The thing about Golf King and Gunster is there were several games like them available and that were considerably more popular and/or ran better. Kwonho (if they get it running better) will be one of a kind as many fighting MMO's are plagued by poor gameplay, terrible lag or a lack of players (even considerably less than the 300+ Kwonho is getting each day).
