Age of Wushu

Age of Wushu

This is a brand new MMO that was released I think yesterday. Purely from a design perspective, this looks like an interesting game.

The PvP seems the more interesting of the setups in an online game - it is pretty much Good vs. Evil PvP; one of the types of missions you can get are ‘kidnapping’ missions. Of course, when you do this, goody players can attack you to free the kidnapped NPC or player (when you log out, your character becomes an NPC who earns you silver.)

Thoughts on this new shiny game?

Combat mechanics look interesting and deep. I’ll try this out, thanks for the link.

Wait, my NPC keeps playing after I log out? So does that mean I can die as well? I don’t want my NPC making dumb decisions when I’m not playing.

From what I’ve seen so far, it dosen’t keep killing monsters; it might set up a bazaar if you’ve set your bazaar options; it might sweep streets. Point is, your character will do something persistent when you log out. However, your character can be kidnapped or rescued.

Like I said, interesting - could be good or the Jurassic Park of griefing.
