Unfortunately, it's going to be P2P. ()

From forum FAQs:
"Is this game p2p or f2p?
It will be Pay to Play when it is offiicially released, until then its in beta and so free to play."

I've been playing the Closed Beta for awhile, and I can clearly see that the game is really going to flop. Even if it was F2P, I still don't believe that it will do very well (even with a little more polish.)

Don't waste your time with this game - it's almost identical to Silk Road Online. It really scared me actually just how close the game was to Silk Road (the game play, skill names, skill level up menu, graphics and charaction motions, horrible missions, movement/controls, and vendor system was identical.) I had originally though that they used the same engine or atleast borrowed most of their ideas from similiar MMORPGs.

It's just another MMORPG-photocopy.

I'm waiting for the next game with real innovation. "Godhood" sounds very cool, but it's currently in alpha. Apparently, the designers did some heavy research into what exactly gamers need, and built it for them. It has all of the elements that makes games popular but presented in a way that's never been done before.

THis game is going to be P2P, some ppl say its going P2P when it comes Open beta, some says when beta ended. But I heared (from a Admin) that CLOSED BETA tester, will get lesser price for account .

But some PPL talking about to make custom Items (like at Silkroad) that the admins think of it, dont make P2P, just get money from selling items.

But if we have unluck, we have P2P.

lol im playing silkroad-online for more than a half year, but i noticed that a monster category in cabal looks like the earth taoists D
but i dont find to much parallels to silkroad, its just another mmprog to killin some time ^_^

I agree to animus.
In SIlkroad it's kill 100-1000 of that monster bla bla
in Cabal its a normal number like 10-40. and the **** collect quests in silkroad... collect 100 of that items or 250 of that. they made me crazy.
in cabal its just collect 1, 5 or 10. Oo
And the Skill using System is not even a little like silkroad. there is no aura or combo skill...

there is a big difference

I didnt ment the game is like Silkroad. Look I will try to explain what I mean.

You can Play silkroad 4 Free (F2P) just becouse of that, that you can buy (with real cash) at Silkroad some special Items (Like EXP stones).

Now some PPL in Cabal talk to the Admins and Headgm's, to make the same than i Silkroad, that you can buy special Items, and dont have 2 Pay per month at Cabal.

I hope now anyone understood me

There are some very good reasons why Cabal Online is very similar to Silk Road Online, but I understand that not many people would recognize what I'm referring to. It can be difficult to explain an idea, without the person coming to the realization themselves (otherwise, they'll never believe you.)

So, to better explain why they're so similar I'll first start out by asking questions.

First, what MMORPG's do you find are similar (if not identical) to Silk Road Online? (Let's ignore Cabal Online temporarily.)

Short answer - almost every other Korean MMO.

It's this similarity between Cabal and all those other "grind until you're PvP worthy" / Diablo2 clone MMOs that makes me hope that Cabal will eventually become F2P.
