AFTER THREE years, Khan, the fantasy massively multiplayer online role-playing game of Level Up! Inc. has closed its gates.
Launched in September 2004, under netGames, which later merged with Level Up!, Khan Online went commercial in 2005. According to the open letter presented by Level Up! to its “Khanatics,” they decided to “discontinue the contract for Khan which will expire on April 30, 2008, due to the lack of developer support, no new content, and patch fixes for in-game exploits/bugs.”
Level Up! gave out a migration package for its Khan players for entry into Perfect World, and compensation by giving extra MyLU Credits to loyal Khan players with reimbursement of all remaining in-game money and game time.
The servers were officially shut on May 1 at 9 a.m. A Khan Online Philippines tribute site may be found here.

Its LUs fault they are forced to shut down the game. Piss-poor management of level up, thats all. I expect the same to happen to Perfect World. Coz the admins arent really taking care of their players. They are just after their money.
Let me tell you something about the GMs of Perfect World. They are sick and they are lame. They spend their time developing their own characters. Wow!!!
PW has a forum wherein if you complain about their GMs not doing their job, the thread gets deleted instantly.
Scamming in PW happens in the most major city 24 hours a day. and the GMs are apathetic about it.

Serves em right for not taking care of their loyal customers.
Poor game management is one of the major reasons why I veer away from Level Up sponsored games…

I won’t be surprised if RF Online is next.
It’s really all about LUG’s blatant disregard for the gaming communities who make sure they receive their monthly salaries.
LUG is so lucky to have so many loyal patrons. You just wish they would do the right thing.

Hahaha Khan shutsdown because there isn’t any development for the game same goes with ROSE. Get your facts straight guys.
And GMs leveling their own players, the one’s leveling are immortals they are common gamer granted the power to aid GMs in events.
Corruption
There are lots of conspiracies there even when Ragnarok Online was still the top game. Imagine when War of Emperium was about to start suddenly the guild defending the castle auto-disbands? LOL! GMs giving away powerful items to friends? GMs telling players that it’s ok to bot? Yeah sadly it happens. There were some former employees who left because of those.
Stay away from Level-Up Games! Buying a $50 dollar MMORPG and paying $15 a month for that is much better than experiencing sh*tty service and being victimized by the corruption.
