How does Metin2 work without the internet?
Classic Metin2 is an MMORPG that needs a constant connection to the publisher's server. Metin2 Singleplayer turns that around: the game server runs on your machine, in a Docker container, next to the database and the client. The launcher puts everything together with one click, so there is nothing to configure by hand. After the first install the world starts from files saved on your disk, and an internet connection is only useful for downloading updates.
That means you can play on a train, on holiday or on a poor connection. There are no login queues, no network lag and no maintenance breaks, and all progress – yours and every bot's – is saved in the local database and survives a restart.
Metin2 solo, but not in an empty world
Playing alone on an empty server gets boring fast. That is why Playerbots run across the maps – first-class characters driven by AI inside the server. They level up, break Metin stones and hunt bosses, trade on market stalls, refine their gear at the Blacksmith, found guilds and answer whispers. You see them exactly as you would see other players: in the villages, at the grinding spots and in the dungeons. Read more about what the bots in Metin2 Singleplayer can do.
- Three kingdoms – Shinsoo, Chunjo and Jinno – and maps from the first villages to the Grottoes of Exile.
- A living market with real offline shops and prices that follow demand.
- The companion, a permanent partner that fights beside you and keeps playing while you are away.
- Auto Hunt, an in-game Wiki and a client in nine languages.
You play by your own rules
It is your world, so you set the rules. In the launcher you choose the difficulty and the number of bots, in the web panels you watch a live world map, the rankings and the AI behaviour settings, and the "Stop and save" button shuts the server down when you are done. There is no subscription, no microtransactions and no pay-to-win.
What do you need?
- Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) with hardware virtualization enabled,
- the free Docker Desktop application,
- at least 8 GB of RAM (16 GB if you want more than 500 bots),
- internet access to download the package, for the first install and for updates.
Installing takes a few steps – they are described in the guide on how to install Metin2 Singleplayer. And if you ever want to invite friends, you can share the same world with them in co-op mode. Answers to the most common questions are in the FAQ.
