...Was that today? Were you the lady running around with a windrunner? I got killed about 6 times today trying to spy on Wudang, so it's kind of hard to remember specifics.

On a sidenote, I have an excursion question. I know that bumps your school inners and skills down to a certain level, but are you totally locked out from using them while excursioned?

you can still use them as if youd have gotten them in scriptsteal basically, skill goes to 4 inner to 30

If you really want to give it a shot, make sure you download the EU version, Age of Wulin. The US version is basically dead.

And if you don't like Haquertals TLDR:

Basically Wushu died when we all quit, our enemy Viet Guilds declared themselves victorious by not quitting and outlasting everyone else getting bored, the remaining people mostly old alliance members and maybe 1 or 2 Goons were supressed and zerged.

When the merge came around (When I started to look at the game again) the 5th Internal was released as well so merge population + new patch population = quite a lot of people.
Unfortunatly only P2Ws of our old alliance remained and decided to build a merge guild out of all p2ws of all 3 servers, they allied one old pvp guild and one huge rear end but no skill guild and proclaimed if you dont P2W you are crap, and they went on their holy war to fight the Viets, by now surrounded by Brazilians and other smaller groups we used to pick on.

Turns out being a dick to the entire merged server can backfire ! vOv
After about 6 weeks the Viets successfully held Worldbosses and everything else that is not 1v1 PingAndPaytoWin, and worldbosses being the only way to make any money anymore, the new guys started selling their accounts people finished 5th inners and started quitting out of boredom and we're back to the same situation as before the merge!

Usually I'd proclaim Goons did break Viet supremecy once so they can do it again but Wushu makes it a giant pain in the butt to catch up now, and you really feel the low population being top grade players, at least in Wulin there is still lots of regular players equally slow and screwed \o/

Maybe if we'd get a few dozen 5th inner RGs with chains but eh.. not worth the hassle.

So what are the names of the guilds in your summary?

Coming from the perspective of a Red Phoenix/White Tiger player, all major remaining guilds are indistinguishable pay2win assholes.

I logged back on for a few minutes on Saturday, just to say hello to my old guildmates. I almost had fun until I fought against someone with ancient tai chi and a maxed out jianghu inner.

Guilds on BD:
Dead or Dying:
NoTrabbu - dead
Lawless - dead
NBloc - daed
Chaos

Deity: Imagine Goonunism, now imagine it never existed
Triforce: Never fear, Mutou(killer) is here! Led by p2ws, bad like a group of laggy p2ws

Terrorists: Remember the dueling at the mortuary? Now imagine a merged server's worth of terrorists' all there all day
ThienDiaHoi - #TDH4Life, see Rebellion
HuatAh - Honor!11!11!1, see Rebellion

MoFu/Evenstars - more p2ws
Smoke - the PE of GK, led by a giant manbaby who will complain about anything
Rebellion - TDH and e-honor migrated here, also has a lot of the other p2ws from the servers, higher if not highest ATC-to-player ratio.

Neutrals: :allears:

Bonus: Self-appointed cross-server guild diplomat Intoxicate leaves Triforce for MoFu after e-bf buys her all the Jianghu inners, all the gears, and ATC.

Well most of HuatAh actually went to Age of Kungfu when GreatEast discovered pay2win is more fun with a ping of 50
other than that, yeah pretty accurate

Also latest development now that Triforce and Deity are dying out Rebellion picks on Public Enemy, wich is lead by the guy's that bought Feedz Account former Chaos members tired of Tox's poo poo who wanted to be "neutral" in the war, well buddy aint nobody neutral in Vietnam says rebellion

In Wulin, do we have a favored server or guild or whatnot? I'm thinking about joining in the antics, even if I'm eating horrible lag while I do it.

Last I heard all Wulin servers were merged because gpotato did it months and months before snail did to keep people interested (instead of constantly being retards and opening new servers).

And there's no """"official""" goon presence but just message the people on this/the last page if you really want to talk to goons?

There's only one server and the 5 or so goons playing are mostly in different guilds.

They do. Just they aren't translated. And are usually tactical games. There's a series of wushu games that are sort of open world tactics games.

The legendary hero of those games is some kung fu movie watching dork that got teleported to wushu world and learned a bunch of martial arts.

One of the most surreal experiences I had in china game, was trying to convince tox that mutou talking to another e-hussy outside chengdu bank (90% sure e-hussy was played by a guy anyway) was not the end of the world and probably not something she should let affect her real life.

I am installing this right now. The downloader is poo poo apparently. I had to download a bunch of .cab files manually. This tells me what kind of quality gaming experience I am in for.

EDIT: Wait, so the consensus is to not play Wushu and get Wulin instead? I guess that's what I get for not reading the last few pages of the thread.

The consensus is that both games lack a good presence, just that Wulin is marginally less poo poo (until they add in more bullshit and if you don't care about high ens pvp at all)
