When do the new Knight Online servers open, and at what time?
The news hit Knight Online's X and Instagram accounts on the evening of October 1, and NTTGame then put its new server page live. The page gives the time as GMT+3, which simply is Turkish time, so there's nothing to convert. There are exactly six weeks between announcement and launch, and the hour is familiar: Pandora, Agartha and Felis also opened at 16:00 in 2022.
USKO new server calendar: pre-registration October 15, launch November 12
| Date | Step |
|---|---|
| October 15–29, 2026 | 1st pre-registration |

| November 10–11, 2026 | Character creation |

The new servers' rules: 5 things to know
- Pre-registration is mandatory. Accounts without it won't get into the new servers.
- Sign-up needs phone verification and login needs OTP. NTTGame wants OTP (ICS Services) done before registration opens: How to set up and activate OTP in Knight Online: ICS, AnyOTP, changing your phone and trade SMS.
- There will be no Ardream or Ronark Land Base; all fighting happens in Ronark Land: No Ardream or RLB on the new servers.
- Some servers are planned to be merged later, without saying which: Server merger 2026: which servers will merge?.
- The number of servers and their names haven't been announced: What will the new servers be called?.
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 |
| Character creation | Right after choosing a server | November 10–11, 2026 |
| Launch | November 17, 2022, 16:00 (Pandora, Agartha, Felis; Zero on December 8) | November 12, 2026, 16:00 |
| Ardream | Removed | None |
| Ronark Land Base | Kept | None |
The two biggest changes: character creation is squeezed into the two days before launch, and RLB is gone too. In 2022 everyone who pre-registered in the first window got potions and a wing for the new servers; no 2026 rewards have been announced yet. The history of the current servers is in Knight Online server opening and merger dates.
Beware of imitations: fake pre-registration pages
NTTGame's announcement image carries a "Beware of imitations" stamp. New server periods bring fake sites promising "pre-registration", "name reservation" or "early access". Register only through nttgame.com and never type your account details or OTP code anywhere else. Account security settings are in Knight Online item lock and account security: sealing items, the VIP password and ICS/OTP.
Getting ready: what to do now
- Set up OTP before October 15 and switch your phone clock to automatic; code errors are covered in Knight Online OTP error: OTP is not active, TimeSync and can't join a new server.
- Check the phone number on your ICS: under NTTGame's May 2026 rule one number can be used on at most 3 accounts.
- Pick your class: Knight Online best class: best solo, PvP and farming class compared (Warrior, Rogue, Mage, Priest, Kurian). For the first days, see Knight Online leveling guide 1–83: EXP table, quests and zones.
- Choose your server together with your friends; in 2022 the server was locked once you created a character.
