Continenth Of The Ninth Seal (also known as C9) is a free to play 3D fast-paced fantasy action MMORPG with FPS style controls. The game is developed and published by the same company Webzen.

The character customization in C9 Seal is really wide, players can shape and style the character face, style and color the hair and adjust the size of the body. So basically players can customize the characters from little details all the way to the bigger ones. Only downside is that the classes are gender locked.

C9 is a Non-Targeting game specialized for extreme action. Players will cut down legions on their way to the bosses of each section. Attacks come in the form of actions from the hotbars, commands (right-clicks), and normal attacks (left-clicks). There are different combos that add damage when performed; one of the most basic ones is "left-click x4, right click x1." Not only are combos great for extra damage or knocking down tougher opponents, but they reward you overall "score" in an area. Higher combos will give you more "keys" once you clear an area; at the end there are six unmarked chests, and players can open as many as they have keys for.

There are 3 classes where players can pick their own. (at the time only 3, more coming later) these classes will divide into subclasses:
1.Fighter
- Fighter engages battle with sword & shield and wears heavy armor.

Level 10 (1st Transfer):
- Elite Fighter

Level 20 (2nd Transfer):
- Warrior
- Guardian
- Blade Master

2.Shaman
- Shaman destroys enemy with great powers from spiritual interaction with souls.

Level 10 (1st Transfer):
- Elite Shaman

Level 20 (2nd Transfer):
- Elementalist
- Taoist
- Illusionist

3.Hunter
- Hunter devastates enemy with precise bow skill & sharp eyes.

Level 10 (1st Transfer):
- Elite Hunter

Level 20 (2nd Transfer):
- Assasin
- Ranger
- Scout

A player will be able to access merchants, trade skill teacher, skill teachers, and quest-givers in the town; and then take all those skills and quests and jump into instanced combat at differing tiers of difficulty (basically: normal, hard, expert, and master). As the level of difficulty increases, players face new areas and objectives, as well as stronger and more varied enemy types with greater rewards.

Guild System:
- The game has guilds to bring together various players; guild members can learn skills to aid them in travels, but the main benefit is having a steady stream of players available for difficult quests that are nigh-impossible solo. Players can form groups for the instanced dungeons, which is where the true "MMO" aspect of the game comes into being. The game can also be experienced solo; going into dungeons at hard or normal level won't stop you from seeing the area, but going in with a friend or three at expert and master modes will open up new quests and storylines.

PvP:
- After level 10, players can sign up for "arena system." There are various types of arena fights, including team fights, one-on-one coliseum-type fights, and relay matches. Every ability a player possesses has a separate section for its particulars in PvP. For example, an Ice Spear may cost 17 mp against an NPC but in the arena, it would be twice as pricy. In the same vein, all players have ways to match and counter the moves of their enemies; if a Shaman can teleport away from an opponent, a fighter may be able to dash toward them.

Crafting:
- crafting system (known as the Artisan system). Similar to other games, there are several occupations and players may choose only ONE. The metalworker, woodworker, and tailor create armor/weapons and guild house items; the chef and alchemist produce consumables. Metalworkers are NPC-only characters who repair, enchant, remodel, or alter items. In effect, they let you change your character's appearance... but always for a price.

C9 has received five awards on Korea's highest authority award, Korea Game Grand Prize and is very well-known for its action game play. Grabbed many gamer's attention with various character customizing, precise control and variety of skill combo, and had a great success of 420,000 users enjoying at first day of service in Korea.

Head of Global Publishing at WEBZEN, Jihun Lee said, "In order to realize perfectly localized Global version, we will gather as much information and feedbacks as possible from our testers during C9's first test. He also added, "We hope this opportunity will bring truly 'Made by User 'C9', where a game is not only made by a studio, but made with users."
