What does mobile KO mean?
"Mobile" points to a phone, and "KO" is the common short name for Knight Online. So a mobile KO is the game played from a phone's browser. The browser version for computers and the phone version are the same game on the same server; the phone is simply another way in.
For a player on a computer, the game is identical. You use the browser too, and you reach the same world. The only difference is that on a phone you keep a shortcut on your home screen.
How the game opens on a phone
On Android, use Chrome. On iPhone and iPad, use Safari. Open chromeko.com, then add the site to your home screen from the browser menu or share button. After that, tap the ChromeKO icon and the game opens full screen.
For the exact menu steps, read Knight Online mobile. Here we only explain the idea.
No app store and no install
Nothing gets installed on your phone. There is no separate game app to find in a store, no launcher and no large file to download. The game opens from its home screen icon, and you can close it the way you close any other app.
If you want the browser side of this in more detail, see web KO.
One world with PC players
ChromeKO is one server. A player on a phone and a player on a computer share the same world, the same zones and the same events. You pick Karus or El Morad, and players of both devices stand in the same nation.
For phone players, this means you are not in a separate "mobile server". A friend playing on a computer can meet you in the same zones on the same server.
Short sessions on a phone
Short sessions suit a phone well. A quest turn-in or a quick check of a zone takes a few minutes. If you are in a party and your connection drops, return within five minutes and you are taken back into the party.
For connection and battery tips, see the main Knight Online mobile guide. For a wider look at phone play, read mobile MMORPG with no download.
When mobile KO makes the most sense
When you are away from your desk, on the move or on a short break, the phone is the most practical device. A quest turn-in, a quick check of a zone or a search for an item doesn't need a computer; a tap on the home screen icon is enough. When you want a long session, log in with the same account on a computer.
Planning a short session
The way to use a short phone session well is to pick one goal. Choose a quest from the in-game quest list; quest tips point to the target on the minimap, so you don't need to ask where to go. Ending the session with a quest turn-in makes the break count.
