It is similar to Beatmania IIDX in its interface, and shares many similarities with another music game, VOS, an abbreviation from Virtual Orchestra Studio.
Gameplay
Playing the game is divided between finding a room to play in, selecting a song, and playing a song. There are 3 servers in the Korean version of O2Jam, technically called Music-Halls: Melpomin, Kalliope and Kleo. All 3 servers are named after the Muses in Greek mythology.
In the Malaysian version of O2Jam, there are also three servers: Kalliope, Kleo and Thalia. All three are free to use, although about half of the songs cost money to play. Each server works under song level restrictions. Before Thalia was introduced, in Kalliope, only songs level 15 and below could be played, while Kleo allowed all songs above level 13. As of 09/08/06, the Malaysian version of O2Jam has all three servers: Kalliope, which is now a level 1-13 song restriction, Thalia, a level 7-19 restriction, and Kleo, which remains the same.
In the Philippines Version, there are five Free-2-Play Forever servers. These are Euta, Thalo, Kalliope, Kleo and Philix. Euta and Kleo serve as the Philippine's main servers while Thalo, Kalliope, and Philix serve as temporary emergency servers, mostly used when Euta and Kleo are on stabilization and maintenance. Euta and Kleo covers almost 70% of the player population, while Thalo, Kalliope, and Philix cover 30%.
Finding a Room
After choosing a server on which to play, the player is presented with a list of \"channels,\" each which allow a maximum of 100 users at a time. Upon selecting a channel, the player is presented with a list of rooms. The player can either find a room in which to play manually, press the \"Short Cut\" button to take the user to a random available room, or press the \"Create\" button to allow the player to create a room of his own from the following list:
Single Rooms are rooms in which only the creator can play. These rooms are especially useful for practicing new or hard songs, for in versus mode, if a player loses on a song that is not on the Easy difficulty, he must wait for everybody else to lose without being able to play. The creator of the room can select any song, difficulty, speed modifier and ring modifiers available to him on the server.;
VS Rooms are where the multiplayer portion of the game is played. Up to 7 other players can join a versus room, and the person in control of the room (initially the creator) selects each song, difficulty, speed modifier and ring modifiers. A minimum of two total players in the room is required to play. The winner of the match is the one with the highest score.;
Album Rooms are rooms in which one or more players can choose a song course and play against each other. Song courses are preset lists of songs with preset difficulties that are played immediately after each other without stop. The person in control of the room (initially the creator) selects each course, speed modifier and ring modifiers. Although there are many from which to choose, ranging in difficulty from very easy to very hard, this mode is not very popular. The overall score for the match is the sum of the scores for each song, and the winner is the player with the highest overall score.;
Couple Rooms are rooms where two people in the same physical room or over the internet can play against each other. Player one controls the first four notes with the keys S, D, F, and Space. Player two controls the last three notes the keys 4, 5, and 6 on the numpad. No other players are allowed to join. Cooperation is needed to successfully clear a song.;
Jam Rooms were a conceptual room type which were never successfully implemented into O2Jam. This kind of room involved each of the players playing the notes of one or more instruments in the song. Each player would hear what the other was playing, allowing them to collaboratively play the complete song, similar to how a band would play a song. However, due to connection issues, this room type was never implemented.;
