Common FAQs about WonderKing PH

Okay, we noticed a lot of questions going around the forums at the moment. Some even post spam just to get our attention. May we remind you that we are aware of your concerns, some questions are just too repetitive that the answers are already inside the forums. So for your convenience, we’ll place this FAQ thread in this section so that all common questions can be answered in one page. You may then post your other questions in the forums as a reply so that this thread would be the main place for your concerns about WonderKing Online.


Q. When will WK PH be released? Kailan po ilalabas ang WonderKing?

A. There is no final announcement about the Philippine release of WonderKing. As of the moment the development team is working nonstop to fix major issues inside the game. We cannot determine the exact date at the moment since every day, there is a bug being discovered in the system. We are just waiting for the final say of the dev team if it’s already okay to launch WonderKing.

Wala pong final announcement sa paglabas ng WKPH. Hanggang ngayon po nagtatrabaho ng todo ang dev team naming para maayos ang lahat ng sira sa game. Hindi pa po naming masabi ang eksaktong araw dahil bawat araw po ay mayroong bagong bug na lumalabas. Hinihintay lang po naming ang go signal ng dev team para ilabas po ang WK sa Pinas.


Q. Why can NDoors players play WK already, but we can’t? Bakit po ang NDoors, nalalaro na ang WK, dito kahit beta wala pa?

A. They actually announced their release of WK earlier than us, which means that eventually, they would really start ahead of the PH version. They are already in the Beta stage, while our version is still in Alpha Testing. Both versions are actually the same but both have different servers, which may cause different problems.

Nauna po talaga ang announcement nila ng release kaysa sa atin, kaya malamang po na sila talaga mauuna. Nasa Beta stage na po sila, tayo po, Alpha Test pa lang. Magkaparehas po ang version ng sa atin at sa kanila pero magkaiba po ang server, kaya may pagkakaiba din po ng mga problema.


Q. Will there be an IP Block once WK PH goes live? May IP Block po ba pag naopen na ang PH server?

A. Yes. There will be an IP Block. This is to protect the common interest of all companies publishing WonderKing Online. The PH Version will block non-PH IPs and shall also block PH IPs from playing the NA version. Any other country might soon be unblocked in our server but there is still no final word.

Opo. Magkakaroon po ng IP Block. Para po hindi masira ang common interest ng mga kumpanya na maglalabas ng WonderKing Online. Ang PH version po ay magbblock ng mga IP na hindi sa pinas at ang mga pinas na IP ay hindi makakalaro sa NA version. Ang mga iba pong bansa ay maaaring mabuksan sa server natin pero hindi pa po final ang desisyon.

Q. There will be an IP Block but why can we still play the NA version? Magkakaroon po ng IP block pero bakit nakakalaro pa po kami ng NA version?

A. The IP Block is still not implemented at the moment because the Philippines still did not release the PH version. It’s also a better way for you guys to have your first look on what to expect on WonderKing. Once the PH version goes live, the IP Block will be in effect.

Hindi pa po nilalagay ang IP Block dahil wala pa po ang PH version ng WK. Mas mabuti din po ito para malaman nyo na po ang gameplay ng WonderKing. Pag lumabas na po ang PH version, magkakaron na po ng IP Block

Q. I have the NA version installed in my computer, once you go live can I just patch this one and be able to play the PH version? Nakainstall po ang NA version sa PC ko, pag ok na po ba ang WonderKing, pwede po ban a magpatch na lang ako at makakalaro na ako ng PH version?

A. The answer is no. The patcher of that game is configured to automatically connect to the NA servers. It will not patch to our version of WK and will definitely not connect to our server.

Ang sagot po ay hindi. Ang patcher po ng laro nila ay kumokonekta ng kusa sa NA server. Hindi po siya magpapatch sa server natin at lalong hindi kokonekta sa server natin.

Q. Why can’t I download the PH version of WK? Bakit po hindi ko madownload ang PH version ng WK?

A. The client is still not accessible for download since there are still some fixes being done in the game. The game will be available for download weeks before the start of our Beta Phase.

Hindi pa po pwede madownload ang game dahil madami pa pong inaayos sa WKPH. Pwede pong madownload ang WKPH client mga ilang linggo bago magsimula ang Beta Phase natin.

Q. Are we still having a Closed Beta? Or is it straight to Open Beta? May Closed Beta pa po ba tayo? O didiretso na po sa Open Beta?

A. There is still no confirmation if we are going straight to Open Beta. Even if the server is fully fixed, we still have to make sure by beta testing the game. Areas like the Item Mall still have to be tested for bugs and errors. The final word is, there is a huge possibility of a Closed Beta Test.

Wala pa pong desisyon kung tuloy nap o sa Open Beta. Kahit po maayos na ang server, kailangan pa din po masigurado sa pamamagitan ng Beta Testing. May mga program po tulad ng Item Mall na kailangan po matest ng maigi kung may sira o wala. Sa madaling salita, malaki po ang posibilidad na may Closed Beta.



Any other questions, please post in the forums.

Nuff Said.

From The Tomes Of Trag Oul: Monsters

Third tome, second leaf

“… As the army of darkness fret from the arrival of the new king, the lord of darkness, Barlon, unleashed a tremendous shout of agony. His armies begin to retreat from Esiore as soon as new heroes come to the cursed land. The citizens of the land rejoiced, for they thought darkness was about to perish with the words of a sage. Never did they know that the lord of the devils will return with greater power, releasing his full fury within the land, and never once more be recognized as the same again.

Devils of the worst kind were summoned in Esiore, in their faces wore eyes as fiery as the fires of hell. Tormented souls break loose as they travel through the gate stone into unsuspecting humans and animals alike. Many were transformed into armies of Barlon himself, willing to obey every command their lord wishes them to. The minions of hell released the greatest dark energy, leaving the humans with one question: ‘who will save them now?’”

Some of the new monsters you will see inside WonderKing PH:













More monsters will be unleashed soon...

From the Tomes of Trag Oul: Status Effects

Second Tome, First Leaf

As everybody has known, there is a 1Gig patch that’s coming onto the Philippine version. That would be pretty big for a single patch, so I would be expecting a lot of changes inside the game. There are changes that are already seen in the NA WK, and I have also explained the changes in the skills of the classes. One more thing that is being proposed in the said changes is the status effect.

In most games, the status effects have a huge impact when it comes to hunting monsters, or even pvp. In WonderKing, the status effect would be a big deal in strategizing on how you play the game. As what have said in the developer’s blog, the pvp system in WonderKing is different, with the “no pots” rule and the “three skills only” format, you really have to plan your strategy. Status effects would come to play in this system, as you not only gain the advantage if you cast skills with status effects, but also be the way for you to also think of the other player’s strategy. To give everyone an idea on what to expect on those effects, here are some screenies of monsters and players having status effects.


Monster Effects


Electric Shock – this effect will cause the monster’s defense to decrease significantly


Burn – this would cause the monster’s HP to decline. The burn effect would last depending on the strength of the skill.


Faint / Stun – What else does stun do? The monster cannot move for a certain period, giving you a chance to unleash your fury to easily kill the monster.


Frozen – The monster will be trapped on ice. Practically almost the same as stun, although it’s just colder, heehee.


Character Effects



Dark – everything would be darker, hard to see the enemy, a setback especially for long range attackers.


Poison – The player’s HP will gradually decrease for a certain period of time. Watch out for your HP, you might not notice that your HP is already gone!


Bleed – Almost the same as poison, although the bleed effect is supposed to last shorter than poison.


Pinch – The player cannot move for a while, equivalent to the stun effect. A big ouch for those who will be hit.


Confused – Think of it as like being dizzy, you walk left, you go right. You walk right, you go left. Makes you act in exact opposite.


Slow – the effect for those who love to run away. It slows down the player, so you could easily catch him.

These status effects are still under decision whether or not it will be added. But adding these effects would give the underdogs strategies on how to defeat enemies.
