The section. It's wrong.

But yeah, saw it on MMOsite a while back and thought it was interesting. Though there are a lot of those Ancient Chinese MMOs, I like that theme. Someone should make some real arcade game with a good story in that setting, not just MMOs.

Looks pretty good o.O

Yeah, it kind of looks like it too.. (besides the UI)

Code: Select all

Ew.

The UI is horrible and the textures look a bit low-res. But otherwise the graphics aren't too bad. But this is no SRO replacer imo.

lol...you guys dont know what you are saying. This game is no grind. There are 20k quest and this game has instance that you can do. AOW do not have character lvl only skill lvls. So suck it SRO!!

True Martial-arts Community

- No classes: All in-game skills can be learnt.

- Game Balance: Based on skills instead of classes.

- Win or Loss: Depends on skill proficiency rather than numerical values and skills. Therefore, the game has some characteristics of controllable fighting games.

- Players live in a community, not simply log into and out of the game. With the realization of the network structure, random events can be triggered, and enough NPC AI skills and rich life content are needed.

- Players enjoy enough freedom in terms of growth, combat and reputation. The immersive storyline leads to multiple development directions. Combats should be carried out in a 3D environment by use of more skills like dodge. Besides, players should be free to create their factions and hold martial-arts championships. Multi-events work in concert with multiple community statuses.This game separates itself from the "traditional" MMORPG's linear growth and has proposed a new innovative "No Level, No class" concept to create a multi-faceted Jianghu world. Magic and specialized martial arts, including "sets, moves, internal skills, channels and meridians, etc." are found in the traditional Wuxia novels, which are all represented in this game. Players are not limited by a class or by a School as they can learn a variety of skills to use in different battle situations. Players can switch between many different Wushu skills, which eliminates required sets or sequences, as it all depends on how players use them. This Wuxia-style growth process breaks away from "traditional" focuses on upgrading and equipments to create a complicated and changing Jianghu society, and we will be amazed at delivering the true Wuxia culture experience.

The gold comes from your crafting, you dont get gold or equipment drops from mobs. Mobs are not monsters in this game but humans that are evil. The mobs will drop crafting materials which you make and sell to ppl. When you do instance (similar to dungeons they drop skill books. This game is not weapon/equipment heavy so you dont spend hours a day trying to perfect your equipment/weapon. This game is very skill oriented so the pvping style in this game is not spam the attacks but rather come up with a counter attack. You can glide, run, jump, do flips in the air, run on water and attack too, and climb on walls.

Skils and Schools:
There are 8 schools that you can join. Shaolin, Wudang, Scholar, Bliss Valley, Tang, Emei, Royal Guards, and Beggar. Each school has 3 different skills set, they are all unique, they typically use staff, sword (single and twin), blade (single and double), chain, and darts. Sorry no spear. go to my guild form and learn more!
Go to youtube and search Age of Wushu Gameplay or Documentary about the game. It does a good job telling you good info. Aso Jet Li is promoting this game!!!!

One last thing about the earing skill points, since there no character lvl, the strenght of the character depends on the skills and the personal controlling it. The skill experience could be earn from doing quest, instances, using your runing skills, talking npc, and others. Once you earn the skill points, you will mediate and use the skill points for the skill you like to upgrade or learn new skills.

Guild Info:

You can own a piece of land in this game and build a guild. You can build a training room to traing your members to become stronger or a mediating area for them to use. You can burn down your enemies guild while they are sleeping. lol

Unique Offline Feature:
When you log off in this game your character will not disappear in the Wushu World, it will become and NPC so that it can interact with other characters online. Your character can also be kidnapped and sold to the whorehouse(for female character) and for male you can be sold to the mine or heavy lifting. You can work your way out or pay our way out. When you log back online there is a record of everything that went on during the game when you're not there. So you wil know who kidnapped you. You can also hire ppls to kill others.

This game promotes Evil vs Good so every character has a good and bad meter. Some school are good and some are bad so pick wisely. You can unlock quest if you have good deeds and bad deeds. If you come from a good school and do bad things like pking you will be punished. Ask me more if you have more questions.

That looks like an interesting game. If I actually had time to play, I'd check it out. I don't see myself getting very far in the game with the little time that I do have. :/

Pm me fast for Beta Key, my guild handed out 100+ beta keys supplies are running low.

Just realized that Age of Wulin is the same game as Age of Wushu. But they have different websites for some reason and why do they have different names?
Anyways, registered. The registration was so simple it felt weird.

Age of Wushu is for NA(Global)
Age of Wulin is for EU (Not sure if it's global)

I hope you went on www.ageofwushu.com when you registered.

Give me a min, i will send you the code.

Good News, the prepurchased elite pass is still on sale. So please grab one while supplies last.

visit www.ageofwushu.com

Oh, but can I still play the NA version or is there an IP restriction? I did register at Wushu.

yes, you can play NA since it's global.

Do you still have extra beta keys? Wanna try it out

Thien Long Bat Bo

Looks really interesting, is it going to be f2p?

^Yes.

Finally managed to create a character after being disconnected 3 times. Then I found that it had the preset save thingy... I just tend to spend a lot of time creating my char for any game that offers some customisation. It doesn't have as much customisation as I would like, such as no hair color, only a handful of hair styles and such stuff. Didn't get my char looking exactly how I wanted, but I guess chinese people have different facial features.

^Ill keep checking this game for updates, i always hate starting a new mmo though cause i feel so confused

Yea, I don't understand anything about the skill system yet.

Not only you gonna see bots on the ground but in the air, in the buildings... everywhere LOL

Oh yeah, the bots will ruin the game again

Damn the game looks awesome
