:siren: DO NOT use your real life info when signing up for this game. Grithok tells me that might be a bad idea. :siren:



What is it?

It's a :havlat: STEAMPUNK :havlat: (whoah) MMO made by the same people who made Age of Wushu. Take from that what you will.

Uh oh. I'm in China. Am I gonna be okay to play this?

Yes. You absolutely are.

Well, thankfully I'm not in China. I'm in the land of the free, America!

Bad news buddy. You're hosed.

Wait, what?

Yeah, apparently the company really hates America. There are actually two different pay models for China and the NA region with the NA region getting especially screwed; I'm sure that one of the other MMO Goons can elaborate more on this!

Well gently caress you OP I'm still interested.

http://bg.snailgame.com/ is the official company website! I'll also reserve a post after this for any goon guilds who want in on this thread for some weird reason. If you're looking for a non goon guild you might want to check out the official forums here:

http://bg.snailgame.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=33

Can YOU tell what is going on there? I can't either, but maybe you'll have more luck than me.

It works well under the communist model.

1. You work hard accomplish a lot as a team.
2. You get great things.
3. Great things are taken from you.
4. Bribe people to get the great things back.

Ni hao is Mandarin Chinese, gwai lo is Cantonese.

If you want to keep it mandarin, they say "Lao wai" instead of gwai lo when they gawk and giggle at the white devil.

Those of us in the white devil community who have experienced the gawking and giggling as disenfranchised minorities in the Grand Ming's kingdom would want the story to be told accurately.

They make a minimum effort to translate and bring stuff to the West for short term cash grabs from people with more money than sense. Their entire business model is based around catering to people who will pay 600 bucks for a digital rabbit while everybody else is there to get their rear end kicked by those people. They also somehow keep getting "mysteriously" hacked and defrauded by third party gold sellers, which lets them justify freezing the whale's accounts and charging them hundreds of dollars to unfreeze them. I'm not kidding. They'll freeze accounts for gold buying, then allow you to bribe them to unfreeze them. Their owner straight up hates Americans as well.

They're pretty much the worst MMO company in existence.
