Teon is a strong PVP-based MMORPG. It requires a lot of manual grinding and skill practicing to develop a powerful character. If you are a hardcore MMORPG gamer, Teon is your best choice. * Watch out for PKers; players can activate PK-mode anytime outside of Safe Zones! * You can customize your stat points the way you like after level 50; you can create a unique character build that is different from anyone else; * Build up your team and clan to challenge bosses and participate in castle siege; * Explore dungeons and defeat monsters to acquire rare treasures to forge powerful weapons and armors; * You can trade items with other players through the in-game market and between characters. [Legend] Teon, God of Creation, created the land of Edin and all beings many years ago. After the creation, the powerful Giants enslaved all other races by force, but King Arthur led his followers to fight and became the dominator of Edin. But the arrogant King Arthur angered God Teon, and the Chaos ensued, humans dropping like flies. When the Chaos settled, the brutal King Attila took over the throne and brought terror worldwide. Still, the light of justice never faded. Heros fight with King Arthur's descendants to save the people. And here begins the fight of Kings and Heroes! * Find more details and description in-game. * Player Guidelines: https://teonworld.com/rules * Privacy Policy: https://teonworld.com/privacy * Homepage: https://teonworld.com * Discord: https://discord.gg/wD2ps7v If you have problems logging in, check Help or contact our customer service at cs@teonworld.com.
