Ghost Online
video game
Ghost Online, also known as Ghost Soul and GO, was a free-to-play side-scrolling massively multiplayer online role-playing game, originally released on December 30, 2006. It was developed by Netgame (a division of MGAME USA Inc.).
The game was available for several specific countries and regions in Asia, the United States, and worldwide, which almost all were shut down. The game is currently only available in South Korea.
In the game, players defend the "World" from ghost monsters and develop their character's skills and abilities, like in most other role-playing games. There is a soul system that allows players absorb souls from monsters. Players can interact with others in many ways, such as through chatting, trading. Groups of players can band together in parties to hunt monsters, and share the rewards. Players can fight each other with the game PvP system. Players can also band in a guild to battle with other guilds.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Ghost Online” is video game. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Ghost, Online and video, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “video game” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5557124. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
