The flying was really fun in that game, but never quite as effective as the trailers made it seem.

Nothing beats pre-fix Wushu flying in terms of sheer fun. Sure, games with actual flying mounts have more effective movement but they aren't as fun as running up a wall then dash canceling all the way to the school exit.

Don't forget infinite air-dash hordes descending down upon Tangmen or jumping down the waterfall and running on water out of Scholars. Bonus points if instead of merely jumping you did the Beggar's spinning piledriver and stole someone else's script.

Flying skills really shined during script stealing. Shame I never got the "invulnerable teleport into walls and then teleport to the exit" flying skill.

I remember the day when the botters got really brazen and instantly stole all the books from both schools and teleported out. Like half the goonball didn't get a book because they had a bit of lag.

The bitter fights at the exit were amazing though

I got banned on one of my accounts for buying silver. I wasn't buying silver because I was too poor of a college student at the time and was barely able to afford the sub. Never did get that account unbanned.

Honestly, I was talking with kzn -- we should look on wushu not as a terrible game ruined by an incompetent company.

No, instead we performed a valuable civic duty by returning Vietnamese blood money back to China. :911:

Hard to say, but at one time, one of the Megawhale who actually hit the maximum number of Ding you could buy in a day (I think it was about 10k USD, limit was put in place by payment processor, not Snail) was directed to a very specific 3rd party gold seller by Snail customer support after he complained he could no longer buy more Dings. The thread where he explained that in the forums was quickly locked and vanished soon after due do RMT discussions being a TOS violation.

China equivalent of E3 is still up to come this summer, so maybe we will hear more of AOW 2.

Will there ever be more Chinagames ? Probably.

Will it respect the law of the Eagle Stronghold ? Probably not.

Actually spamming didn't do a whole lot other than get you super lucky on when one of the few instances got released and there were thousands of other players doing the same

SE didn't have many instances and they are data center wide and everyone kept getting disconnected and the instances would hang open and then nobody could log back into them or open new ones

You can't jump AFAIK, but you can fall which is kind of like jumping.

It's not a proper MMO in the sense that everyone is sitting on the same server. It's doing the thing that Journey or The Trail does where it will randomly put people in your world. There is no chat so you communicate with emotes and/or beating them in the loving face. You can party up with up to 2 other people, though I haven't really tried it. It also seems that if you die outside of the tutorial, you have a 60 second time out before coming back to the last bonfire, OR another person can come and res you (doesn't cost any resources AFAIK).
