The English version of Seal Online was expected to be released in Quarter 3 of 2005, when Grigon Entertainment announced that there would be an English version of Seal Online.[3] However, within two months, the site closed.

In 2007, a website was created for Seal Online, containing a blog post announcing the arrival of Seal Online in English to the United States.[4] The English Seal Online was finally released on 19 November 2007 by YNK Interactive.[5] [6]

Gameplay

Seal Online is a point-and-click MMORPG; movement, combat, and many other commands are all controlled by mouse, while the combo system is done with a keyboard. The player can choose from seven different classes to start with. However, if the player chooses to start with the Beginner, they can choose to job change into the other six classes when they reach Level 10. 21 new classes were added in early 2009. The game experienced a server wipe on 27 September 2010, bringing all players back to level 1.

Seal Online's travel system uses a method called Warp Gates. These gates, located in various towns, allow the player to move to other maps. Players may use scrolls, set revive points, use the Wagon Driver NPC, or type a teleport command for a small fee to warp to different maps.

Players can learn skills to trade, open or join a guild after completing a quest, open a chat room, create a party to fight monsters more effectively, open an in-game bank account to hold or collect more items and money, nurture a pet, do quests, and fish.

Seal Online's level up system uses a point method; skills level up with skill points. Each time a player levels up, they receive a set number of skill points and status points, which they may use to strengthen their character. As a player attacks an enemy, the XP bar fills up. Once the bar is halfway filled, the player can start a combo by pressing the game's combo buttons. After starting a combo, players must press a combination of buttons. Combos do more damage than normal attacks, and are executed faster.

Server shutdown

Many servers were shut down by their local server company. Servers in Indonesia and Thailand, for example, were closed in mid-2017.
