The Mongols first swept towards Europe on their grand campaign in the 1220s. This invasion was halted by Genghis Khan’s death in 1227, when the Hordes withdrew back to Mongol. Now, one thousand years later, the Golden Hordes will be making another attempt at conquering Europe. Only this time it will be with Korea’s best known Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game Khan the Absolute Power. Developed by Mirinae Entertainment, Khan makes its début at this year’s ECTS 2004 taking place at Earls Courts September 1 - 3.
Khan the Absolute Power is a MMORPG and is based on true 13th century historical events featuring Genghis Khan. The Mongol army became the most disciplined, experienced, and feared force the world had ever seen. This epic based online game takes players to the point where Genghis Khan reached the end of his expedition in the small kingdom of Eurasia which Khan's brutal force was never able to conquer. Players will re-visit history and prepare battles against the greatest conqueror of all time.
Khan the Absolute Power was launched in Korea in November 2003 and now has 380,000 subscribers. It is about to have a major update with new features and Mirinae Entertainment is preparing to launch its most ambitious campaign yet with a massive siege war. Over 2000 players will be preparing to either attack at all cost or defend against the massing hordes outside the walls.

There are only handful of companies in the world which can support and service MMOG in the global market and Mirinae Entertainment are one of the leading players, and to stake their claim they will be unveiling the English version of the this game at ECTS 2004.
Khan the Absolute Power as yet does not have a home for its game in Europe, but with a gaming system that is ready to launch, it will not be long before we in Europe will be able to lay siege at Fortress Brotzwof and engage in battle against monsters and other clams who are out to protect what they own...
