I have been playing in PKO Chinese server since 2006. I would have to say some of their moves are not wise so they stopped their official Chinese server in 2011. However, a company bought their copyright and reopened the game as official server in 2017. They've added some new features that's not overpowered and I believe it's good to have!

Great to have but not Overpowered:
1. Auto pilot: If you put in some coordinates in the radar, or clicked the name of NPC in quests, your character will move toward that coordinate automatically (land only, not sea). I found it's very helpful to have this function especially when you need to run all around the world just to talk to some NPC's to complete a quest.
2. In-game NPC and monster coordinate search: They've added an 'address book' of all NPC's and monsters in the game so that you can click and do autopilot, or go there manually if you want. I know this PKO also have those information on the website but if it's in game then it's much easier to use
3. Online reward: they'll give you an 'egg' that you can open every two hours if you stay online. You can receive some equip, exp or golds, or some other items
4. Enhanced teleport: You can now go to Thundoria from Argent Teleporter. Also for each main city, you can teleport to all havens that belongs to that city. This function saves a lot of time to running across the field, but I think it's reasonable to have.

Some other funtions that's controversial:
1. 'workshop': they've included a 'workshop' function that allows you to do equip forging, fusing, and basically all things you can do at Shaitan Smith so that you can do those wherever you are. This might be good to have, but it's okay to go to Shaitan and do the things.
2. 2x exp hours: they offer 10-hour 2x exp for each character every week. This is a dilenma since if leveling up is too easy then the fun of leveling decreases, but it will be good to have more 1.5x exp sessions if we want to keep this PKO hard core.
3. Auto fight bot: I would say this is a stupid move. They've included an in-game botting that you can choose which monsters to attack, what range the character is doing auto-fight, what skills to use and which items to pick. This is almost an official-botting and lot of players are just leveling up without playing the game.
4. In order to stop multi-account botting, they made this auto-fight unavailable if the program is running in the background, and banned the virtual machines since it's possible to do multi-account botting with a virtual machine.
This is very unfriendly to Mac users since I have to use a virtual machine even I do not want to use botting. That's the primary reason why I switched to this international server, where the game is purer and online guides are so helpful and informative! Thank you to all developers!

1. stop being lazy, this would also devalue tickets, and saturate the OSS drop market etc.
2. The website already does this, but adding it in game would be nice, minus the auto pathing.
3. No, this devalues in game gold and saturates the market for no reason, if you dont wanna work for money buy rum and fund the server.
4.This devalues tickets for no reason, buy the tickets they're 24k ea, if thats a lot of money for you farm the tickets and sell them and make a lot of money.
5.Dev has said they may add something I believe, although if you're posting this and not above 80 idk what to tell you, cause 1-80 should take 1 month max now that exp decrease is gone.

That is actually a lie. Our representative was on that auction, and bout all the data along with all the rights.

1. Auto pilot:
Auto Pilot is v2 function. It is well known from `Tales of Pirates 2`.
We have decided to not include it here.

2. In-game NPC and monster coordinate search
NPC/Monster search is also `Tales of Pirates 2` function.
We have decided to not include it here because maintaining the tables was troublesome.

3. Auto fight bot
It was a function from xHDW (test server). Not included here because it would break our Rules, or at least make a serious breach in it.

3. Online reward
Also `Tales of Pirates 2` function. There is a topic about it, was discussed a few times, and it is on TODO list.

1. 'workshop'
Also `Tales of Pirates 2` function. Not implemented here, as we have fixed the `no NPC` life skill tweak.

2. 2x exp hours
Also `Tales of Pirates 2` function. Already in TODO list.

This is very unfriendly to Mac users since I have to use a virtual machine even I do not want to use botting. That's the primary reason why I switched to this international server, where the game is purer and online guides are so helpful and informative! Thank you to all developers!

Thank you for your kind words!
We will try to make it a bit more Mac/Linux/other OS friendly in the future (Actually we do it with every update bit by bit).

Hi Developer,
Thank you so much for your patient response! I don't know ToP2 have included those functions:)
