(MMORPG gamers put a lot of time and effort into games they love and we wanted to find an exciting and interesting way to show our appreciation for their commitment to Red Stone. What better way to do that than with the chance to win valuable prizes?) said Joshua Hong, CEO and Co-founder of K2 Network Inc. (Red Stone has a look and feel that will appeal to a wide-variety of MMORPG players. With its deep storyline, intricate quest system, colorful and unique graphics and the potential for an exciting real-world pay-off, Red Stone is sure to be a hit among gamers of all ages.)

Red Stone is a Free2Play episodic MMORPG that offers players a unique fantasy experience with a deep storyline. Red Stone takes players deep into dangerous lands with 8 different character classes and compelling strategic missions, and players will quest to recover the lost shards of a powerful jewel in order to restore peace to the destroyed world.

Gamers will enjoy Red Stone's unique Transform System where all characters have the ability to change jobs and weapons as well as transform into other characters, enabling unique, strategic gameplay. Also setting it apart from other MMORPG's, Red Stone characters do not use Mana (MP) when spells and skills are used; instead, they use a rechargeable Charge Point (CP) system, challenging players to use their skills strategically.
