SteamKO has no separate sign-up form: you play with your Steam account. Get Knight Online on Steam, verify your phone number by SMS code on first launch, then pick the server and create your character.
Trade and the market need SMS approval (5 NPoint) or premium on your account. Since October 2026 you have to add a mobile number to your account before SMS approval.
The most common snag in phone verification is waiting for a code: it's on the screen, and you text "NTTGame code" to 5564 from your own phone within 5 minutes.
New server registration and SMS approval for trade now need a verified mobile number on your account. You add it on the NTTGame portal under Overview > Cell Phone, and the first one is free.
