Tantra Online is a fantasy MMORPG that takes place in a world inspired by Eastern mythology and culture. It was initially released in 2002 by South Korean game developer and publisher HanbitSoft. The game features a tab-targeting combat system that allows players to engage in battles with other players or NPCs, and a team-based battle system that enables players to form teams with other players to take on more challenging foes.
Players can choose from different classes or tribes, each with their own unique abilities and skill sets. The game has a variety of activities and features that players can explore and enjoy, including quests, monster hunting, and crafting. The game also has an extensive item system that includes weapons, armor, and accessories that players can obtain and upgrade.
Over time, Tantra Online shifted from a pay-to-play business model to a free-to-play model with in-game purchases. The game's monetization is now based on the sale of in-game currency, items, and services, as well as a VIP subscription system. While the official servers are no longer active, the game remains popular in the private server scene, with a dedicated community of players who continue to enjoy the game's unique blend of Eastern mythology and fantasy MMORPG gameplay.
