CloudNine

CloudNine, also known as Holic 2, was a free Windows anime-styled fantasy MMORPG developed by MGame and operated in North America by Netgame and later RedFox Games. Players picked a second subclass, tamed and transformed into monsters via a card system, and fought across nation-war PvP, guild battles and dungeon PvE, with crafting and trading layered onto the questing loop. The last official North American service closed September 5, 2017.

Why you might like it

  • Fans of anime-styled MMORPGs who enjoy monster-collection systems, since the card-based taming and transformation mechanic gives ordinary hunting a collection purpose beyond experience and loot.
  • Players who like flexible builds, since the dual subclass system lets a single character mix and match combat approaches.
  • PvP-minded players drawn to large-scale nation-versus-nation conflict on top of guild battles and arena duels.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • CloudNine's final RedFox service closed on September 5, 2017, so the original client, characters and purchases cannot connect to an official North American server.
  • Its progression relied on repeated quests, equipment enhancement and item-shop convenience; transformation cards added variety but did not remove the underlying grind.
  • CloudNine, Holic and Holic 2 names were used across regions and relaunches, so old screenshots, dates and account instructions may describe a different edition.
