They haven't said a time as far as I can tell, but I'd assume they open the servers sometime during the business day in wherever their American offices are.

13 assassins need more love. Its another iteration of the eternal story of honor and death but by the Buddha it is beautifully told. Also 14 blades for some RG goodness even if they are not in this game.

I could never get behind Ip Man. No matter how much China movie making try to turn him into a heroic national patriot(one of the few non political figure past the cultural revolution getting this treatment) it feel more like the guy was just an opium addict who sadly squandered his talent halfway up his life.

I wish I kept up with learning to read Chinese, I'd be reading the original Swordsman novel this game is based on right now (Xiao Ao Jiang Hu). I might give it a try if it looks less buggy/more promising the 9Dragons, Age of Wushu, and other wannabe Wu Xia MMOs. All of them have been disappointing in some shape or form for me, though that might be because of terrible localisation.

It looks better and the company involved isn't Snail Games.

e: Sadly the op is wrong and there isn't an actual Pokemon system with child slaves, but most of the other crap is on point.

I recommend Three Kingdoms (2010) for anyone wanting some ancient chinese action to help get in the mood. It's incredibly long, but all up on youtube. That old image of Cao Cao laughing at Yuan Shao got me to try it out and I didn't regret the ride.

It also features liu bei throwing a baby on the ground. :china:

Are we using CTS or do we have our own mumble set up?

Did you not get high enough level to get a free pokemon? Okay yes technically they are mostly like, people, or animals, but you can teach them moves.

I will be the pokemon master.

He's actually not being facetiousness about the pokeman thing either. You want the pet maid, you go and beat up maids until you can cast the capture item on them. Level wise I think it was 25

There is like some kind of event on Sundays that I think is about companions, but it requires level 50+, so my goal is to like grind to 50 before the first Sunday. I don't think any of us actually really understand the whole pet system yet though. I'm going to try and figure out if it has value in PVP.

Looks like there's going to be two US East servers, claymore and rapier.

Also level cap is 89 for the moment.

If you haven't, you need to watch Red Cliffs.

Also, there are some great TV series made in Taiwan around the Wuxia series. They used to be on youtube, and I want to say they were subbed. Laughing smiling wanderer (笑傲江湖) and the condor trilogy (Legend of the Condor Heroes, Return of the Condor Heroes, Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber)/(射鵰英雄傳, 神鵰俠侶, 倚天屠龍記) are by FAR my favorite

EDIT: Looks like this dude on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/HueNgocZoeTay/videos) has my favorite adaptation for Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber.

This is the 2013 remake of Swordsman/Smiling Proud Warrior. It's got some of the same actors as the previously mentioned Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber, and is English subbed.

Also, they're taking a similar route as Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber by starting way before the original story's start and giving a lot more back story.
