Are the new Knight Online servers open?
Yes, they opened on November 12 at 16:00 Turkey time. NTTGame confirmed it on its official accounts. Night-one viewer numbers and the busiest server: the new servers are open.
4 new USKO servers (Atlas, Oracle, Luna, Carnac) opened on Thursday, November 12, 2026 at 16:00 Turkey time (GMT+3). Rules: level cap 70, upgrade cap +8, no Ardream. You need a pre-registration and AnyOTP+ to log in.
What is 16:00 in my time zone?
16:00 is Turkey time: NTTGame's new server page writes it as GMT+3, so that is 13:00 UTC. The hour is familiar: Pandora, Agartha and Felis also opened at 16:00 in 2022. The news came on October 1 on X and Instagram; there are exactly 6 weeks between the announcement and the launch.
USKO new server schedule: characters on November 10-11, launch on November 12

How many servers open? 4: Atlas, Oracle, Luna, Carnac
4 servers open, and all 4 are on the selection screen from the start. In 2022, 3 servers (Pandora, Agartha, Felis) opened first and the 4th server, Zero, came 3 weeks later. The story behind the names and where the old servers went: Knight Online new server names.
| Server | New pre-registration |
|---|---|
| Atlas | Open |
| Oracle | Temporarily closed (since November 7) |
| Luna | Open |
| Carnac | Temporarily closed (since November 7) |
On November 7 at 00:58 NTTGame temporarily closed new pre-registration for Oracle and Carnac because of high demand; there is no reopening date: Oracle and Carnac closed. One account can register on only 1 new server, and your right to change server is limited; in 2022 you could not change server after you created a character.

New server rules: 7 things to know
- Level cap 70. Characters do not start at 70; 70 is the highest level you can reach. No date for the 80 cap yet: New servers: max level 70.
- Upgrade cap +8: weapons and armor go up to +8 at launch: New servers: upgrade cap +8.
- No Ardream and no Ronark Land Base; all war happens in Ronark Land: New servers: no Ardream and no RLB.
- Pre-registration is mandatory: an account without it cannot enter the new servers.
- Registration needs the NTTGame account, SMS phone verification and AnyOTP+ linked to the account. One number can register only one account on the new servers: How to verify your phone
- One account can register on only one new server.
- Some servers are planned to merge later; the notice does not say which: Server merger 2026.

How many channels will the new servers have?
NTTGame has not said yet. The best hint is the 2022 launch: by the table in NTTGame's New Servers Coming notice, the new servers opened with 5 channels. Ronark Land was only on channel 1, the market on channels 3, 4 and 5.
| Channel | Ronark Land | Market | Moradon camp | EMC and LFC camp | Eslant camp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yes | — | 3 | 2 | 2 |
| 2 | — | — | 3 | 2 | 2 |
| 3 | — | Yes | 3 | 2 | 2 |
| 4 | — | Yes | 3 | 2 | 2 |
| 5 | — | Yes | 3 | 2 | 2 |
The channel count can change after launch: Zero grew to 8 channels over time, and NTTGame closed channel 8 in the October 15, 2026 patch.
How is this different from the 2022 launch?
| Step | 2022 | 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Announcement | October 6, 2022 | October 1, 2026 |
| 1st pre-registration | October 20 – November 3, 2022 | October 15–29, 2026 |
| 2nd pre-registration and server selection | November 3–15, 2022 | October 29 – November 12, 2026 |
| Server closed to registration | Agartha and Zero (December 2022, for a while) | Oracle and Carnac (since November 7, 2026) |
| Character creation | Right after server selection | November 10–11, 2026 |
| Launch | November 17, 2022, 16:00 (Pandora, Agartha, Felis; Zero on December 8) | November 12, 2026, 16:00 |
| Level cap at launch | 80 | 70 |
| Ardream | Removed | None |
| Ronark Land Base | Yes | None |
| Number of servers | 3 + 1 (Zero 3 weeks later) | 4, all on the selection screen |
| Channels at launch | 5 | Not announced |
The two biggest changes: character creation now happens in the two days before launch, and RLB is gone too. The pre-registration reward is the same as in 2022: 200 Ibex, 200 Crisis and 15-day Hellfire Dragon Wings; the launch events are in the registration guide.
How long did past launches take after the announcement?
Between 3 days and 6 weeks; 2026 uses 6 weeks, like 2022. The new servers come about 4 years after the November 2022 wave; the gap between 2019 and 2022 was 3 years and 10 months.
| Launch | Server | Announcement to launch |
|---|---|---|
| September 3, 2015 | Midgard | 6 days (announced August 28, 2015) |
| June 2, 2016 | Olympia (again) | 6 days (announced May 27, 2016) |
| January 19, 2017 | Akara and Manes | 3 days (announced January 16, 2017) |
| January 2019 | Altar, Vega, Sirius | Registration with face capture and NTT Now |
| November 17, 2022 | Pandora, Felis, Agartha | 6 weeks (countdown October 6, 2022) |
| December 2022 | Zero | After the November launch |
| November 12, 2026 | Atlas, Oracle, Luna, Carnac | 6 weeks (announced October 1, 2026) |
The 2022 process went step by step too: countdown on October 6, pre-registration on October 20, entry only for accounts with active OTP, server selection November 3–15, launch on November 17. Early 2023 the old servers merged: Minark on February 9, Dryads on February 23, Oreads on March 9. Full list: server opening and merger dates.
Beware of imitations: fake pre-registration pages
What should you do before November 12?
- If you have no pre-registration, register on Atlas or Luna; Oracle and Carnac are closed to new registration.
- Set up AnyOTP+ and put your phone clock on automatic; setup in the OTP+ guide, code errors in the OTP error guide.
- Make your character on November 10-11; you may not be able to change server after that, so decide first.
- Pick your job: Knight Online best class
- Think about your nation early: the game can close a nation to keep populations balanced ("That Nation cannot be selected to ensure populations are balanced").
