Uncharted Waters Online is an MMORPG set in the Age of Exploration, with the English version published by OGPlanet. It features over a hundred different sailing ships and an open world based on real Earth geography, with players engage in many activities such as combat, exploration, and trade on both sea and land while interacting with each other. It has a sandbox style game play and skill based character development. The game requires monthly subscription fee in Japan but the international server is free to play. It is developed by KOEI based on the Uncharted Waters series of games, and originally released as Daikoukai Jidai Online (大航海時代 Online?) in Japan.
Uncharted Waters Online is available on the Windows platform in English, simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean, also available on the PlayStation 3 since 2009. Six years after the initial Asian release, Netmarble published the game, under its traditional English title, for the non-Asian market in North America and Europe. On August 19, 2010, the official site for English and US game versions was opened and closed beta was announced. The game was open to public on October 1, 2010. Beta testing was completed, and the game is now live in North America and Europe. In November 2013, the global Netmarble service ended and was transferred to OGPlanet. A high-definition PlayStation 4 version has been announced for a September 15, 2015 release in Japan.
Uncharted Waters Online features a variety of gameplay concepts. The game can be divided into sea-based areas, land-based areas, and towns. Like most MMORPGs characters gain experience in skills and levels.
The player may choose from among 6 nationalities: England, Dutch Republic, Ancien Régime in France, Spanish Empire, Kingdom of Portugal, Republic of Venice. As well the player may choose from several "occupations" after choosing a basic class: adventurer, merchant, and soldier. However players can learn and upgrade skills from other classes, albeit needing more experience points. Under certain conditions a player may change their class, occupation, and nationality. Players are able to trade, explore, battle and join in live events such as the "Epic Sea Feud".
