The sweet smell of mince pies, the sound of chestnuts roasting on an open fire – we’re winding up to some serious Christmas celebrations.
Dive into a festively decorated adventure starting 30th November 2017.
Here’s what winter has in store:
1. Okey Event The popular okey card game returns from 30th November. Hunt down monsters, loot their okey cards and put together a winning set. Eager beavers can also get their hands on okey card sets available in the item shop.
How to play: Defeat monsters to earn cards. As soon as you've collected and stacked together 24 Okey Cards, you'll automatically receive an Okey Card Set and can play a game. The aim of the game is to make combinations of sets and runs.
A set consists of three cards with the same number (e.g. 7, 7, 7). The lower the number on the cards, the fewer points you'll earn for the set.
A run consists of at least three consecutive cards (e.g. 6, 7, 8). The lower the number on the cards, the fewer points you'll earn for the set. Runs in the same colour will earn more points than multicoloured runs.
Game Instructions
1. Left-click on the deck to reveal the first 5 cards.
2. Earn points by selecting 3 cards. (NOTE: Left-click = select card, right-click = permanently discard card)
3. The more points you earn by the end of the game, the better your prize.
Hints
1) You can pause your game at any time by pressing ESC. Changing map or teleporting will end the current game!
2) Once discarded, cards cannot be restored, so think carefully before deciding!
3) Cancelled games will NOT be refunded! Choose where you want to play your game wisely.
2. Soul and Monster Bash Event Two brand-new events to keep this Christmas fresh:
• From 6th December: During the Soul Event, the NPC Ah-Yu will reward you for your help with a valuable case. The Celestial and Oneiric Souls contained within will grant your character unimagined powers!
• From 20th December: Let those bells ring out when you beat the boss Baashido around the head in the Monster Bash Event! Amongst other rewards, you can earn powerful buffs or even a pet egg containing a Baby Baashido.
3. Epic Costumes, Mounts and Pets in the Shop • Take your place at the round table with the glimmering Avalon Armour in the shop, and confront your enemies with powerful bonuses!
• Stay safe out there in the snow with a rescue dog mount or an arctistocratic penguin pet.
• Helmet, armour, Ring of Joy and penguin pet – the more complete your outfit, the greater your bonus.
4. Christmas Tombola, Wheel of Destiny and Fireworks • From 30th November: Great prizes are waiting to be won in the Tombola and Wheel of Destiny. Plus you can celebrate New Year’s in style with fabulous fireworks available for purchase from the event helper starting 29th December.
All event rewards can be redeemed until 15th January 2018.
Wishing you a wonderful festive season,

Spooktacular Halloween!
Dear players,
while the nights are slowly drawing in, the mercury’s falling and the evenings are damp and dismal, there’s no reason to fear! We’re lighting the pumpkins in Metin2 between 27th October (1 PM) and 13th November (1 PM). Come and celebrate a spooktacular Halloween 2017 with thematic items and the exciting Yut Nori minigame:

We’ve got Halloween equipment, a horrifying banner, a spooky loyal pet plus a mount for you to get your hands on. Leave your enemies quaking in their boots with the bonuses the items grant you!
Whip on your demonic armour, forged in the very fires of hell. Then slip on the matching Horns of Horror and summon your new ghostly companions, Shiver, Snivel and Cruella. Plus go trick or treating on the back of the Lava Cave Lizard.
Yut Nori Minigame One for the goosebumps! Hunt monsters to gather Birch Branches. Craft a Yut Nori Board from 28 Birch Branches and let the fun begin. Lots of cool prizes await!
Wishing you a fang-tastic time!

How Yutnori works:
All Hallow’s Eve is just around the corner, and we’ve got a special Halloween event lined up for you in Metin2. Play the Yut Nori minigame and rake in some awesome prizes!
Hunt monsters and gather Birch Branches between 27th October (1 PM) and 13th November 2017 (1 PM). Craft a Yut Nori Board from 28 Birch Branches and let the fun begin.
HOW TO PLAY
1. You play against the computer.
2. Each player has two pieces. Whichever player brings both pieces home first is the winner.
3. Instead of dice, the game uses Yut Sticks. The number of spaces you can move is determined by how many sticks land with the flat side facing up.
4. The first throw determines the starting player. The player with the lowest score begins.
5. Click on 'Throw'. Your move is displayed below. Select the piece you wish to move.
6. If you land directly on a space with an arrow, you can take the shortcut.
THROWS AND MOVES
Do (one flat side up): Move forwards 1 space
Gae (two flat sides up): Move forwards 2 spaces
Geol (three flat sides up): Move forwards 3 spaces
Yut (four flat sides up): Move forwards 4 spaces
Mo (four rounded sides up): Move forwards 5 spaces
Back Do (only marked stick with flat side up): Move backwards 1 space. If you do not have a token on the board, you will have to wait a turn.
Job-gi: Landing directly on a space occupied by the computer’s token removes it from the board and you receive 10 points.
Up-gi: If both of your pieces end the turn on the same space, you move them as one starting with the next turn.
Throw again: If you score a Yut or Mo, you get another turn.
You can increase your chances of landing a certain throw. Simply select it from the relevant menu.
SCORE
1. Throwing the Yut Sticks: -10
2. Catching the computer’s piece: +10
3. Computer catches your piece: -10
4. Getting your piece home: +10
5. Computer gets piece home: -10
NOTE
If you abandon the game or leave the map on which you are playing, you will not receive any reward.
