白虎 (báihǔ). Literally "white tiger." In ancient times báihǔ meant a woman with no pubic hair, shunned by matchmakers because it was believed that such a woman would bring misfortune or even death to her husband. The male equivalent is 青龙 (qīnglong), literally "green dragon," meaning a man without pubic hair, also superstitiously believed to bring trouble or death to his wife.

First question starts to make sense after fiddling with it a bit. The first part seems to be just saying something about Wushu 2, but the second part says "You will be the name of the number of wandering rivers and lakes". Numbers through 20 don't seem to work, and I'm guessing in any case that they dont expect a random Chinese person to know the number of rivers and lakes in China.

[edit2] Jianghu translates as "rivers and lakes"

Honestly that's how wushu felt when we first started playing because calling the translation a Google translate of the game gave it far too much credit.

Maybe a blessing in disguise. The only MMOs I've really played since wushu are other chinagames that bad games crew show up on. I've barely even been tempted to waste time on any other ones.

Webzen dumped Wulin/Snail wanted the licence back so they're shutting down Wulin and the few people who care enough can apply to be moved to a new Wushu server. Just imagine playing Wushu on a server that is 7-8 hours behind with 400+ ms.

Not many games let you kidnap offline players and sell them into indentured service.

Though becoming a NPC in the area where you log off is actually kind of neat.

I remember my first script stealing where I almost got out but a goon killed me at the exit because I was in the secondary guild and not the main guild. Oh and people being pissed that they couldn't have their alts in the main guild because we actually had a waiting list to get in.
