Here is some information about the next expansion for those interested (Credit goes to King of Knights).
Below is a list of updates to KOKO since our latest expansion,
Forgotten Frontiers. These updates are candidates to be released with
the next expansion. (This may come in
September or following the pattern of the earlier expansions, until early
2010.)
The dates next to the individual updates are the date the news item about
that item were first posted on the KOKO news section. If "+ JPKO" appears next
to an item, it means the update has been added to JPKO as well.
NOTE: Don't take these for certain. There may be translation errors that
change the meaning. All of this info was taken from the Korean official site,
not from inside the game.

New Items
09-24-2009
"Advanced Old Accessories" will be released. Further details are unknown.
06-16-2009 + JPKO
Wings will be available to wear in the 5th valkyrie slot (which is
currently unused in USKO). The wings will also be awarded for other things
than the Chaos Dungeon.
Wing Type Awarded for Option (random) Link
06-04-2009
A 8th set of armor called Krowaz Armor will be available. This armor will
provide superior defense ability to the 6th/7th sets of armor.
Monster Stone changes
??? + JPKO
Monster Stones (currently dysfunctional in USKO) will be changed
substantially. Rather than receiving different kinds of Monster Stone, you'll
get only one item called "Monster's Stone" from drops. The dungeon you'll enter
depends on your level.
The rewards for all dungeons will be the same, but higher levels will have
better drop rates.
A special Enchanter NPC will be placed inside the dungeons. This NPC will
sell +80% attack buffs to priests and +150% Magical Attack buff for mages.
You'll be able to use the stone from almost all zones (except events), but
without a party it's too difficult.
Change of the EXP penalty
04-09-2009 + JPKO
The level the EXP penalty starts at will increase from 61 to
(05-07-2009)80 (in JPKO, 76).
Changes to Arsenal items
(04-09-2009) The prices for renting Arsenal items will be doubled if you
rent them on two consecutive days.
(03-12-2009) Priests' Arsenal items will be changed from Lycaon Staff and Defender of the
Lord to Holy Animor and Piana Knights' Defender.
Changes to priests' equipping method
10-30-2008 + JPKO
Priest maces will be only wearable in your right hand, and their damage
will be calculated on INT rather than STR. In PVP their damage will be reduced
by an unknown amount. Other types of weapons (e.g. swords) won't be affected.
Rivalry system
(04-09-2009) By getting killed by your rival, you'll build up "anger". You
can build up (04-23-2009) 5 stages of anger. A new skill will be added that will get more
powerful as your anger increases. Anger will be displayed by an
icon on your GUI.
(03-26-2009)
When a player kills another, they become rivals for 5 minutes. Rivals
will be highlighted on the screen and the notice for killing whomever has
killed you will be "x has taken his/her revenge on y". Rivalry will also
increase the NP gained or lost.
Mining mini-game
02-25-2009 + JPKO
A new NPC, "[Miner] Pitman" will be placed in multiple zones. He will allow
you to
mine with a Mattock (similar to the one you mine fossils with, but this is
more expensive to repair and not tradeable). It will be available for level 35
and above.
Mining areas can be found outside Moradon, Luferson/El Morad Castle.
In the mining area, you can automatically start mining with the spacebar.
Mining will terminate if you stop it, run out of time, lose the durability of
the Mattock, or run out of inventory space.
In addition to a small amount of EXP and LOTS of rocks, you might get a
Mysterious
Ore which can be exchanged for random items. You might get unique items, but
at a low probability. Mysterious Ores are not stackable.
When someone gains exp through mining, a small sprite with the text "+EXP"
on it will pop up above the player. When someone finds a mysterious ore, an
"+ITEM" sprite will pop up.
New and changed quests
See a list of changed quests.(09-10-2009)(08-13-2009)(05-07-2009)(03-12-2009 + JPKO)(02-26-2009 + JPKO)(01-29-2009 + JPKO) The whole quest
system is undergoing a major overhaul. First, some quests have their days
counted - visit the Goblin battlefield and do the
BBQ Delivery, Messenger of Love and Monster Suppression Squad 3 while you can.
Talking about MSS, the first and second dungeons will also have lesser roles,
allowing single persons to enter rather than parties. Most quests that give
weapons as a reward will give non-tradeable weapons. However there's also a
lot of improvement coming. EXP at lower levels will come flowing in
at a rate you've never seen before. Most quests for levels 1~59 will give a lot
of exp while requiring the killing of fewer monsters. Item exchange quests
become sparser and blended in with the hunting quests so you'll likely find the
required items while hunting (although there are a few exceptions). For levels
35~59, each hunt quest will be available as a "solo" version that you can keep
doing at a given level so you don't even have to look what to kill. A new set
of quest armor called Troll Armor will be given as reward for level 50~54
quests. Accessory
quests will be repeatable (no more begging K2 to allow them in cypher rings),
although you only get EXP for the first time. Reliance of rarely-dropped items
will diminish: Magic Jewel Powder will take only 3 of each jewel component, and
you'll need only one for the Thorn spell. Impact will also only need 7
Certificates of Victory and some money. After level 60 there are less changes,
but there's a big one: Scenarions. Each level from 60 to 69 will have a
scenario with about 10 stages. Some of the stages merely consist of talking to
a NPC but there are several major tasks included. Scenarios seem to have a
mini-storyline attached to them. After doing the harder tasks you'll be
rewarded with some EXP, NP and one of the Secret Weapons and Powerful Weapon-
Breaking Armor. You can get 2 sets of these with the level 60~65 scenarios.
The last stage in each scenario consists of slaying a new boss in Eslant.
The final reward is 2 Certificates of Victory. This means even if you can't go
to or win BDW you can get 12 Certificates of Victory from other sources.
Make sure you check out the
changed quests page.
(05-20-2009) Certain quest armors, including Troll and "Weapon Breaker"
armors, will be available for purchase from Heppa.
(03-26-2009) In Monster Suppression Squads 1 and 2, you'll get your reward
for winning inside the dungeon, before you are warped back to town.
Lunar War Map Vote
01-15-2009
The senators of each country will be allowed to vote for the Lunar War map
to use for the next day.
New and changed skills(27-08-2009) New attacking skills will be added to warriors' Passion skill
tree.
(04-09-2009) Mage's high level fire skills: Fire Armor will do 3000 damage
over time instead of 700. Vampiric Fire's power will be increased from 3000
to 5000.
(03-12-2009)
Prayer of Cronos will be sold in the sundries and can be used
by priests.
Jewelry crafting NPC
10-30-2008 + JPKO
A NPC for crafting "Old" accessories will be added to Moradon, near the
jewelry vendor NPC (Hera). This NPC will be called [Jewelry worker] Jewel.
- The NPC will sell an item that will be used as a material
for 1 million Noahs. (Equivalent of the Fantastic Armor Frames.)
- This system will use the same crafting interface as the Cursed Weapon
manufacturer, Shozin.
- 3 accessories are required per crafting, along with materials that can be
colle
cted in the Monster Stone dungeons (currently not working in USKO).
- To get an idea about possible combinations, check out the JPKO manufacturing page.
Boss respawn change10-30-2008 + JPKO
Bosses will no longer respawn in combat zones. Instead a Chaos Guardian
Stone will be
placed in the middle of the zones, and when it is destroyed, bosses (including
Eslant bosses) will spawn. The amount of monsters spawned depends on the zone
where the object was killed: Arrdream: 4, Ronark Land Base: 5, Ronark Land: 6.
Graphics and UI changesKill announcement27-08-2009
When a player kills another, the player names in the announcement will be
colored.
Example:

this box will make your helmet transparent so you can show off your face and
hair. This is a visual only feature and doesn't affect the stats on the helmet.

direction of your target. This is useful if you acquire a target with "Z" and
can't see where it is.
