USKO new server registration dates (2026)
NTTGame's new server page splits the process into four steps. The page gives times in GMT+3, which is Turkish time. The last column shows how the same step worked at the 2022 new server launch; the 2026 page doesn't describe the steps in detail yet.
| Date | Step | How did this step work in 2022? |
|---|---|---|
| October 15–29, 2026 | 1st pre-registration | Account sign-up with a 6-digit code sent to your phone (October 20 – November 3, 2022) |
| October 29 – November 12, 2026 | 2nd pre-registration and server selection | Late sign-ups plus server selection with an SMS code (November 3–15, 2022) |
| November 10–11, 2026 | Character creation | No separate days; you could create a character right after choosing a server |
| November 12, 2026, 16:00 | Launch | November 17, 2022, 16:00 |
Pre-registration is mandatory. NTTGame puts it in one line: no pre-registration, no entry. If you miss the first window, the 2nd pre-registration from October 29 still gets you in. Don't wait anyway: in 2022 everyone who signed up in the first window got 200 Ibex, 200 Crisis and a 15-day Hellfire Dragon wing for the new servers. No 2026 reward has been announced yet.
What do you need before pre-registering? OTP and phone verification
There are two rules: phone verification to register for the new servers, and OTP to log in to them. NTTGame wants OTP (ICS Services) set up before registration opens.
- Set up OTP/ICS before October 15. It's on NTTGame's OTP page; the full walkthrough is in How to set up and activate OTP in Knight Online: ICS, AnyOTP, changing your phone and trade SMS.
- Keep your phone close. In 2022 a 6-digit code came by SMS, and sign-up didn't finish until you entered it.
- Decide now which account you'll play on. Under the 2022 rule one phone number could register only one account for the new servers.
- Check your account password and email; you can't pre-register an account you can't log in to.

NTTGame will publish the 2026 phone verification details separately. In 2022 the number used for sign-up didn't have to match the one on your OTP or your trade SMS approval.
How do you pre-register for the new Knight Online servers? (the 2022 steps)
The 2026 sign-up page opens on October 15. Below is the flow NTTGame described in 2022; button names may change this year, so follow the official announcement on the day.
- Log in to nttgame.com with the account you want to register and press the sign-up button on the pre-registration page.
- Enter your phone number with the country code and press send code.
- Type in the 6-digit code from the SMS and confirm.
- In the second window, press select server on the same page, enter the new code sent to the same number, pick your server and confirm.
- Once the server is chosen, log in to the game and create your character there (November 10–11 in 2026).
If no login window appears when you press the sign-up button, you're already logged in to the site and the sign-up goes to that account. If you have several accounts, make sure you're on the right one first.
Server selection and character creation: when do you grab your name?
Server selection opens with the 2nd pre-registration on October 29, while character creation runs only on November 10–11. In 2022 you could create a character as soon as you picked a server; this time it's packed into the two days before launch. If you want a particular name, be there on November 10, because a name can belong to only one character on a server.
In 2022 you could change your chosen server before creating a character; one NTTGame notice says once, another says twice. Once you created a character, the server was locked. The 2026 change rules aren't published yet. What to weigh when picking a server is in What will the new servers be called?.
Can't register for the new server? The usual causes
| Problem | Cause and fix |
|---|---|
| "No active OTP/ICS on your account" warning | OTP isn't enabled on the account. Set up ICS at otp.nttgame.com, then come back to sign-up. |
| The SMS code doesn't arrive | Check that you entered the number with the country code, wait a few minutes and request a new code. In 2022 unresolved cases went to an NTT Portal support ticket under SMS Verification. |
| The number is already used on another account | Under the 2022 rule one number registered one account; a second account needed a different number. |
| There's no select server button | Server selection opens on October 29, and your pre-registration has to be done first. |
| Can't get in on November 12 | OTP codes, "Server is full" and nation balance messages are covered in Knight Online OTP error: OTP is not active, TimeSync and can't join a new server. |
Watch out for fake sign-up pages: NTTGame's announcement image carries a "Beware of imitations" stamp. Pre-registration happens only on nttgame.com; never type your account details or OTP code into a link someone sends you.
