Age of Wulin BETA!!!


Age of Wulin is a free-to-play martial arts MMORPG  set in a charmingly realistic representation of medieval China, with 27 regions representing all geographical areas of the country, covering an amazing 130 km² of open world to explore, and that doesn’t even include instanced areas – all presented with stunning graphics and fully translated to English. Many thousands of quests, vast and diverse regions to explore, and 20 challenging instances make Age of Wulin one of the most expansive and ambitious free-to-play MMORPGs to date. However, you will not find elves, dwarves, strange monsters and other fantasy creatures here. The developers have taken great care to create a medieval martial arts world that is so real, you can almost taste it. Yes, the kung-fu skills you will see and be able to master will be amazing and jaw-dropping – you may learn to glide through the air, run up walls or across water – but no weird monster or magic being will cross your path and disturb the image of a perfectly crafted, realistic online world, just as it existed in China centuries ago.


The Age of Wulin RPG experience is an adventure like no other. There are no classes or levels, players hone their skills in various ways and get immersed in a breath-taking game environment that comes to life in a unique way: Over 20,000 NPCs inhabit the detail-rich landscapes, cities and villages, but they don’t just stand around – they live their own lives, have their own personalities and react to the players’ actions in sometimes surprising ways.

Every NPC forms their own opinion about you, depending on their own nature and your actions – but don’t bump into them or knock them over, they may get angry! Once you impressed them enough, be it in a positive or even a negative way, they may give you some special errand or item which may lead you to experience one of the unique random encounters. There are a vast number of these hidden in the game, and they may play out differently for each player! They are pretty welcome events though, since many very special items or skills originate from these. It is entirely possible that you will gain some ability that no-one else in the game will manage to getKung-fu Skills and Weapons

Players are born into a rich martial arts culture where they choose their own path to become a master. You can join one of eight schools, each with their own philosophy, orientation and specialist kung-fu discipline, fighting style and weaponry. Here you learn and practice your skills, however you are by no means bound forever to your school of choice – like a true scholar, you can travel and join another to gain more abilities and become an even more experienced master!


Whether your preferred weapon is a shining blade, double daggers, a stick or simply your fist, or you opt for hidden darts to eliminate your enemies from the shadows… there is a myriad of ways to battle it out in this immersive online experience. Fights are not won by monotonously pushing buttons – they are built around a rock-paper-scissors system, so you will have to watch your opponents and anticipate their moves, leading to very dynamic encounters.Guilds, PvP and PvE

So you better find some friends to band together… how about forming a guild? The first guilds on a server can purchase a guild castle and expand it as they grow their influence. The guild castles are part of the open world and can be visited by all. But as there are only a limited number of these castles available, other guilds may try to conquer yours and challenge you to a battle. These guild battles can see 200 to 250 members on each side, making them truly epic events. The system prevents moonshine raids so no need to stay up all night for defence!


But this RPG offers plenty for smaller groups too. Fights between 2, 4 or 6 players result in a more tactical approach, where you can utilise your learned skills to your full advantage – either by battling it out on the water’s surface, or by fleeing over the rooftops to avoid certain defeat on the hands of stronger or more numerous opposition. If you enjoy cooperative play against a common enemy, a range of quests and instances present you with challenges on many levels of difficulty.
