What is Conquer Online?

Conquer Online is a free-to-play 2.5D MMORPG set in a fantasy version of ancient China. You lead a brave hero who hunts monsters, takes on quests and grows stronger. The game first launched in 2003 and has passed 10 million registered players worldwide.

The controls take only minutes to learn, levels come quickly and fights are fast, with flashy skills. Every class also has XP skills: when your XP circle fills up, you can unleash a burst of huge damage for a short time.

There are eight base classes, and you can play each one as a male or female character. Some classes later open extra paths, like the two kinds of Taoist.

Picture	Class	In one line
	Trojan	All-out melee attacker with two weapons, but less defence than a Warrior.
	Warrior	Wears the heaviest armour and is the only class that can use a shield.
	Archer	Shoots from far away and hits many targets at once: a born hunter.
	Oriental Assassin	The Archer's secret side: after the level 40 promotion, throwing knives give fast, stealthy strikes from range.
	Fire Taoist	The most dangerous spell caster, with many destructive magic skills.
	Water Taoist	The calm healer who cures and revives others, and needs lower levels for some quests such as rebirth.
	Ninja	The fastest class with deadly attacks, but the lowest defence and HP.
	Monk	Fights with prayer beads, mixing strong martial skills with helpful buffs for the team.
	Pirate	Rapier and pistol fighter: victims drop items more often, but so does the Pirate when killed.
	Dragon Warrior	Kung fu master with nunchaku, strong in area attacks, recovery and sharing Stamina.
	Windwalker	Fan user who switches between a melee style (Stomper) and a ranged style (Chaser).

• Levels: hunting monsters and doing quests raise your level quickly. Starter quests guide new players through the first stage.
• Promotion: as you reach certain levels, your class is promoted and you earn higher titles and rewards.
• Gear: hundreds of weapons and accessories, and many ways to upgrade them, add attributes and power to your character.
• Rebirth: at level 120 your character can be born again as a new class. Reborn characters have more Battle Power, more abilities and better skills, and each rebirth path gives a different mix of skills.

On top of the main class, a character can learn sub-classes, each paid with a special item and growing over 9 levels:

PvP is open: any player can attack you at any time. It sounds harsh, but it is the heart of the game, and good PK takes real skill.

• Team up with friends in a guild and fight for the Guild Pole in the weekly Guild War.
• Form a small clan to share Battle Power and take over maps in the Clan War.
• Test yourself in solo and group events such as the class PK tournament, the team PK tournament and the Elite PK Tournament. A world edition once gathered the winners of 68 servers.

• Bosses: tougher than normal monsters, with much better rewards.
• Quests and events, both in the game and outside it.
• Steeds and horse racing, your own house to decorate and share with friends or your spouse, and decorative weapon accessories.
