The game is funded by people who want to be the big fish in a small pond.. New pond = more money. Merge it back in a few months, make a new one, repeat until the game dies.

TLDR: feedz tricked a bunch of us into having actual interviews all so we could be tracked with far more dedication and accuracy than sex offenders. To have us work 4-8 hour shifts watching a kraken and occasionaly fighting until we out sperged the other groupoften for days or in one case weeks. We had our chat monitored, our pockets were riffled through and we were harrassed if we weren't the correct spec or had poo poo gear because we had no money because all game time was consumed by the kraken.
I get that you're trying to make the whole experience sound awful but honestly that sounds amazing. I wish I had stuck with ArcheAge long enough to serve under an almost literal Captain Ahab. Even if it wouldn't be fun at the time, what a story to tell, man.

So Age of Wushu is dead then? I really miss it and was thinking of coming back, even if only for a tour. Is Age of Wulin better?

Age of Wulin is getting patches very fast wich keeps the people somewhat interested but its a bunch of PVE'rs the PVP is rare and really only one / two guilds initiate it so the server hates them for ruining happy fun time.

Situations I ran into:
Worldboss -> Me: "Why don't we kill both worldbosses" Others: "We don't want to get red named / killed competing for it"
Guildwars were fun, even though outnumbered the enemy has no fking idea what they are doing
Pay2Wins are less blatant in Wulin those that do are too dumb to use it
Catching up is a giant cash cow or takes forever, since no return power is active.
The French are actually some of the more competent pvpers (what)

But overall its just not as interesting as wushu was, there is no giant nerdrage filled hate, no defined lines, very few viets, and those viets there are actually our allies (what)

And Guild Alliance Drama:

PvP is more common than you are saying, lots of people PvP, even if the two major alliances are the two that initiate the huge fights, which is not different from how Wushu did it.

Catching up is not that bad, there is a reclaim strength event going on at the moment.

And we are all shocked about the french.

Wushu's servers were so bad my ping is pretty much the same after going to wulin. I use the free version of WTFast but thats only to reduce ping spikes, averages around 180ms regardless.
Really the only negative with wulin is that books and all events are around 6 hours earlier then wushu.

That and you lose all your progress in Wushu. That's one thing making me hold off on signing up. Another is that Moonlight Blade drops in 12 days and that looks amazing, so might be worth waiting for that, play with a big Goon group again. Either way I'm going to be going to actual China at the end of June, so I'll only have a month of playtime tops. Although while I'm there I could just buy a Chinese SIM card and do whatever they have over there, I don't know. Is a SIM card all I need to get into these betas and stuff? Even if it's not connected to any carriers?

I've been "hacked" so many times in wushu I don't have much progress to lose (Only game I've ever had hacker issues with outside DFO). Definitely jumping on moonlight blade when it doesn't need china schenanigans and its in something resembling english. From the little I've seen of it looks like a very pretty version of wushu. Right now wulin is a nostalgia trip and timewaster.

If moonlight blade actually came out you could probably get the entire gang back together for one last ride across wuxia. Grithok needs to get into the betas so he can teach us all about the game.

When Moonlight Blade drops, people will just assume you're the leader out of the MMO-clan conditioned assumption that the one who's yelling the loudest is the one in charge. You can either lead the clan, or not yell at people. We both know the answer to this.

Ohhhh, I hadn't been reading the dates right, Moonlight Blade enters CLOSED beta on the 28th of this month. The Moonlight Blade website won't translate in Google Translate, at least not without some optical reader work, so I have no idea how to sign up.

Guess I'll just download Wulin.

If ever there was a game to let goons be goony to each other, it's chinagame.

Besides, if age of wushu is any indicator we'll all be far too confused to actually gently caress each other over.

Edit: I'm legit more excited about a new chinagame than about any mmo or even game to come out in the past like 5 years.
