WonderKing was a MMORPG which centered on venturing throughout an expansive world, fighting various monsters in real-time combat, in a style similar to side-scrolling adventure platform games from the 32-bit genre.

The players fought monsters and completed quests, in the process acquiring in-game currency called "Zed", experience points (EXP), and various items.

Each server, similar in content to each other in the same version, was divided at fifteen channels, between which characters could freely switch.

A Swordsman could become a Knight or Warrior; Mage as a Priest or a Wizard; Thief as a Rogue or Ninja; and a Scout as Archer or Gunner.

Most quests required the player to recover a certain amount of loot attained from monsters or to cross an obstacle course.

Unlike MapleStory, some skills, abilities, clothing, and items that increase jumping distance or speed had an effect during these quests.

Items were acquired from monster drops, purchased from other characters or shops, or obtained as rewards for completing a quest.

Pets, modeled after animals, mythical creatures, and Zodiac signs, such as bunnies, dragons, and pandas followed the owner around and could be equipped to pick up a loot dropped by enemies.

There were six main locations WonderKing: Elgaill Island, Francis, WonderPlus, Hellen Town, Nagpha Swamp, and Lamupel Highlands.

The beginner-friendly island featured low leveled monsters and short tutorial quests to introduce players to different aspects of gameplay.

Users were notified of an upcoming event by a scrolling box at the top of the game screen.

The large amount of special effects during an event could significantly slow down the player's PC.

The North American version of WonderKing featured a PvP system, which was under development by Ignited Games.

There was also a Battleground system and an NPC named Benson who played a major role in this feature.

In WonderKing, there was an NPC named Wapi who teleported players to towns and places for a certain price (in Zed).

Each player could purchase pick axes from the NPC named Dozer located near each Mining Site entrance.

Due to legal problems which prevented the developers releasing new content such as classes, maps, and mobs, plus a massive amount of hackers & exploiters, Ignited Games decided to temporarily close the game.

Although they stated that the game would be available once everything is back to normal between Ignited and Ryu&Soft, WonderKing was shut down in December 2011.

[12] Ignited Games stated in 2013 that they considered a negotiation with Ryu&Soft and that the pair were in open communication, but nothing came in fruition since 2019.
