Karos Online launch events revealed

There are few days more exciting than the launch of a new MMORPG, and the Karos Online folks want to usher theirs in with style. Once the servers come up on April 9th, Galaxy Gate has a slew of goodies for the taking to anyone who's willing to be pioneers in this untamed world.

For starters, all new players will receive a "Newbie Potion Pack" to give them a leg up on the world. Enterprising and observant souls can scoop up gift boxes and celebration cakes, the latter of which can be either consumed for a buff or turned in for a spiffy quest reward, including a 12-slot bag and a rare white tiger mount. Even the simple act of leveling enrolls you in a chance to win a fabulous prize bundle!

Being a free-to-play title, Karos isn't shy about promoting the one feature that puts food on their tables: the item shop. For a modest fee, players can procure trinkets and potions to protect and serve. These include Protection Capsules (which prevent the loss of items upon death), Guardian Angels (reduce XP loss upon death) and 'Lucky' Fishing Rods (increased chance of gaining multiple fish).

While the F2P fantasy market certainly isn't lacking for healthy competition these days, Karos Online hopes to grab a slice of the pie with these tempting goodies. Check out the game when it launches on April 9th and let us know what you think!
