Knight Online, Repent Online, and the N3Base

Just wanted to share an interesting tidbit of information I stumbled upon. MGame, a Korean MMO developer, worked on two major projects around 2002/2004. One was Knight Online and the other was Repent Online. You can still play Knight Online today and it is possible to play Repent Online but you need a Korean social security number. Anyways, I played Knight Online (KO) a TON when I was 12 or so years old. Today I commonly work on Knight Online private server development in my free time. So while poking through the content files for both KO and Repent Online (RO) I noticed a common trend in the binary formatted content data. A while back I write a tool to help visualize KO game objects using OpenGL, and lo and behold (with minor tweaks) I could get the RO objects to render using my KO tool! Pretty cool!

This might not be too terribly useful but then again it might be neat to add some of the weapons and objects to the KO content as a throwback to Repent Online (a.k.a Legend of Ares).
