Gameplay

The golf simulator allows up to four players to tee-off together on several fictional and non-fictional courses, while The Square allows a player's avatar to interact with NPCs and make trades with other players.

For each hole completed, the character earns both experience points and in-game currency called NG ("Not Gold"). When the player accumulates enough experience points, their character will advance to the next level. NG can be used to purchase items such as clubs, balls, clothing, greens fees, and club repair fees.

Development

Shot Online was originally created as a Korean title, then later marketed to the United States. Debuting in 2004 as a free online download, this game worked its way onto store shelves in 2006 when a retail version was made available. The game is currently available as a direct download from the publisher's website. Retail boxed versions of the game are no longer available.

Game updates are pushed through an update server with major improvements scheduled every six months. Using this method the developer can make rapid fixes or game changes such as the addition of auction houses to the game. Game developers have promised updates such as graphical improvements in the future.
