I disagree there was a time period there where it was good. It's a good game deep down.

Yeah the pvp was better than what most MMOs have, and the game was well designed to revolve around pvp for almost everything, which is stellar. Most new MMOs copy WoW which copied EQ and both were really pretty terrible for pvp from balance issues to only ever having consensual pvp. If not for the awful translation and support (snail's fault), ridiculous power creep (f2p games in general), and their really janky ping weirdness and autoparry, I might still be playing.

If you aren't good at computer and just want to link them to confuse and enrage people, here's an imgur gallery:

Here's an archive of all of the animated gifs (might be good to save a copy):

If you think I hosed up, here's all the original png files grithok posted earlier from the client:

If you think I hosed up animating, here's those png files bulk converted to gif frames, go download unfreez and make animated gifs yourself:

Classic combos:




If you're using the imgur gallery it seems to have made jpg thumbnails of each one and if you click it there's a browsable list, but you seem to have to copy the link to the gif to paste it, not the thumbnail jpg.

I'm downloading Wushu right now. I'm going to give it another shot, maybe they have rebalanced things. This new expansion that hits today (5/20) looks enormous and fun to mess around with.

I have spent the last two months in China. During that time I climbed the actual Mt. Hua, constructed my own Dog Beating Staff to fend off monkeys, carried scrolls in a backpack, dropped money into beggars' bowls, went through the gates of Nanjing's city walls, walked the Path of 99 Bends, and more. I have seen things I cannot describe in words or capture in pictures.

But the entire trip all I wanted to do was get home and play Moonlight Blade. Or, rather, play Age of Wushu with a not-bad company, but I don't think that will happen. Having been to China I can say that as amazing as this trip was, seeing an idealized version in digital form is superior. And much, much, much cheaper.

Please tell me goons are still playing this.

I have no idea if goons are playing but that sounds like a neat trip!

My favorite thing was how long it took people to realize that Feedz:
1) wasn't actually a goon
2) Spent his college loan money on p2w in age of wushu instead of, say, college

Feedz has a SA account, but I don't know about the second part. Ultima Online had a detrimental effect on my first shot at university so I wouldn't be surprised, though.

Age of Wushu - Goon Tang Clan 1st Invitational Lemon Party

Skip to the videos below if you don't want/need an explanation.

Firstly some context. In age of wushu every week the top 10 crafters each get prize boxes, in these boxes are often special outfits. We discovered that the farmer profession got points for planting crops but didn't have to harvest the crops to get rank. Last week my character got in the top 10 and got a reward box containing an outfit.


Some people in the guild thought the outfit looked funny because it looks even more like peasant lowbie gear than the gear starting players get. We set out to plant but not harvest many, many crops. This started to cause lag in the surrounding area and even culling when too many crops get planted. Then the server crashed.

We had no clue if the crash was our fault, but we felt it was our duty to stress test the server by going to the busiest zone and growing the biggest sized crops we could. Normal planting looks like this:



This is a goon plantation:



Then we realised that unlike most crops that despawn in 5-10 minutes of not being harvested lemon trees last a good 45-60 min. We soon had the entire farmland of the zone covered in trees so no one could grow anything else. Then we noticed all the carts going past our plantation.

Wushu is a pvp focused game, one of the tasks available is protecting carts rear end they travel between two locations. Players not fr4om your guild may click on your cart to flag as a bandit and attack and destroy your cart stealing the reward you would have got from the task. Our makeshift lemon forest gave us the perfect cover to raid many carts



The entire area was a laggy mess full of culling due to so many extra entities. Players would approach the forest in confusion then real back as darts, claws, and angry goons flew out to destroy them.

What made this game turn to poo poo, again? Absolutely loved playing with the goons back in the day, might give it a reinstall

They just kind of kept on piling more and more hard to get skills on that were really strong. A lot were only available by cash shop or random encounter. It made it tedious to try and remain competitive. Also the pve was just god awful, with the only cool feature being that you could enter an instance as an assassin to try and stop people doing a boss fight.

I've probably said this before but I really liked the blend of pvp into everything in this game. The random pulled in assassin stuff for guild carts and boss fights and jail breaks was a really good mechanic, along with the school raiding and kidnapping. It's a shame about the excessive freemium currencies and cash shop additions.

I've found that trying most modern MMOs I just can't stand much collecting of 0/22 bear asses for any quests so I mostly just play pvp games now.
