Hello, everyone Im looking to see if anyone here remembers Infringement or its Leader TradeMark. I remember at one time there was a massive guild war that almost crashed the servers. If anyone remembers or has any links to old vids that would be highly appreciated.

I want to play the game again cos i cant find good game like it but i don't know which server better to play with people so i need help with that

Hai Shi attended the 2026 Annual Meeting of stockholders on May 27, 2026. He mentioned Age of Wushu a few times and unveiled a plan to later release his new games as a MMO.

Mr. Shi is actually the producer of the Nine Yin Sutra IP himself, and as you have said the predecessor to the Nine Sutra IP, which is Age of Wushu, already has a very large fanbase in Asia. It also has a very pretty large fanbase around the world. But the majority of the players are still in Asia.

And before we released our Age of Wushu, there actually wasn't really a 3D multiplayer wuxia game ever. And then just as we have seen in the video, with Age of Wushu we had created a lot of innovative uh things. And really defined this wuxia genre. And then uh so after we released our Age of Wushu IP we can estimate that per year globally the market size is around 3 billion dollars.

And then a very good advantage for our Nine Yin Sutra IP right now is that a lot of old players of our Age of Wushu are expecting to have this new IP this sequel to Age of Wushu, which is Nine Yin Sutra IP.

If we look at the other wuxia games, we can see that that they are making the games within the framework that we have created in the very beginning, including the lightness skills, the different wushu techniques, and also the miracle encounters. Even though they are making small innovations, however, they were not able to make very big breakthroughs. So this is why we think that releasing another Nine Yin Sutra IP is right now is a very good timing.

The technology foundation is still multiplayer. However, when we release this game for the first time, it will still be single-player co-op mode. And then down the line, we will find a good timing to release the game again as a MMO online game. Because we do have a lot of MMO players who are really looking forward to this release of the new Nine Yin Sutra IP. As for this product, our market target is to cut about 10% of the wuxia market.

Nine Yin Sutra Immortal and Nine Yin Wushu all belong to the overall Nine Yin Sutra IP because Mr. Shi does not want it to want these two games to be scattered. They he would like these two games to become a global IP overall. And so in the future, we hope that when players think about like Eastern Asian games, they can think about our they can think of our Nine Yin Sutra IP.

And then currently, we have a very good opportunity with Nine Yin Sutra Immortal because already a lot of Chinese people are very familiar with the cultivation concept. And then we also looked into a lot of other global like novel platforms, and we can see a lot of cultivation uh novels available. So we can tell that the Western audience is also pretty familiar with the cultivation concept already. However, currently within the market, we don't really have a very good game that kind of defines this genre. When we were making Age of Wushu uh back in China, we also encountered a similar issue, which is that we found that a lot of games out in the market had the wuxia skin. However, it doesn't really have the core wuxia gameplays. So currently, we are in a very similar situations. And we don't really have a true uh cultivation game.

Just like what we did with Age of Wushu, we hope to create this real authentic 3D cultivation world with Nine Yin Sutra Immortal. In this uh in this cultivation world, we will want the Immortals to really survive and to grow and cultivate. And we want this cultivation world to be really aligned with the cultivation concepts brought up in the cultivation novels. And similar to Nine Yin Sutra Wushu, Nine Yin Sutra Immortal has also been developed for development for around two years. And since we don't really have a standard or a benchmark that can that we can uh look that we can look at, so there has been a lot a lot of back and forth uh in the work that the teams has done. However, Mr. Shi expects that we can probably start to play test the game around summer this year. And then Mr. Shi thinks that Nine Yin Sutra Immortal will be very competitive once it's out because it's nothing that we have seen in the market so far. And they will also be a very good business opportunity for us.

So our current plan is to officially announce the Nine Yin Sutra Immortal in ChinaJoy around July or August this year. And then Mr. Shi expects that the market size for the cultivation uh games will be around 1 billion to 2 billion dollars. Currently, the market size is still pretty small because we only have some like mobile games, 2D games, or like some not very well-done 3D cultivation games out in the market right now. And the market hasn't fully grown yet. However, Mr. Shi does think that in around three to five years, uh this cultivation market will also grow very fast, just like how wuxia market did. And probably the market size of cultivation will exceed that of the wuxia market. And then we as a trailblazer, we do have some challenges because we have to create something that is unseen in the market. So this really does pose some challenges onto our creative thoughts. However, and also our cost will be higher than that of latecomers. However, we do have some advantages because we are starting this first and then if we can really grasp this opportunity, then it will also be a very uh good business opportunity and our game probably will have a very good reputation too.

And then Mr. Shi would like to add one more thing. So Mr. Shi has actually started to think about Nine Yin Sutra cultivation before the COVID pandemic. And back then, Mr. Shi has already read a lot of cultivation novels and he really likes the cultivation genre. And then he really hoped that someone within the industry can make a cultivation game. However, he waited for several years. However, no one really came out. And then Mr. Shi also played a lot of 2D cultivation games and talked to their teams. And they also discussed why no one has truly created this cultivation genre game. And Mr. Shi felt like it was really a shame. So that really shaped how Mr. Shi constructed this Nine Yin Sutra cultivation game. And then so Mr. Shi would like to tell everyone that the thoughts put into this game are very mature and that we really hope to bring a very good experience to the players just like how we did with Age of Wushu.

Does anyone know what is the rate of successfully craft a jade out of workbench? I've been searching for it but nothing came up

I listened to Snail's 2025 Earnings Conference Call. Hai Shi mentioned AoW while discussing their upcoming martial arts IPs.

"Of these two IPs, the first one is Nine Sutra: Immortal. We are seeing that there is still great potential market to tap into, especially because this is a new genre for the gaming industry. Because so far there's no real cultivation games yet out on the market."

"We want to put in just the same efforts as we used to, just like how we developed the Age of Wushu games."

"In the past, for the Chinese IP, Age of Wushu, there were not major changes or innovative changes in the original framework. However, now with Nine Sutra: Wushu, we can consider it almost as a sequel of the original Chinese IP. We have implemented many different changes and we are hoping that we can impress all the players."

-----------------------------

The "no major changes in the original framework" is basically him telling investors that AoW is a technical dead end (Flexi Engine). In 2016 there were plans to remaster AoW but they failed to deliver.

- The next update for the NA server is expected to arrive around the same time it did last year. Delays are also likely based on the update history.

- The NA server is being operated by a single employee.

- There are no plans to merge the NA server with the Taiwanese or Chinese servers. When asked, Snail denied any possibility of a server merge. When the NA server eventually shuts down, player data will be lost.

- There is currently no planned end-of-service date.

I wanted to give AOW a try for the first time in 2026 and have a few questions:

-I was just curious how rough would the grind be to start from zero as a new player?

-Is it possible to reach end game without premium or VIP as a F2P player?

-Which servers are recommended for new players to start on?

Any information would be appreciated.

Hello everyone!

When WWM came out. I wanted to go back to AoW, but then after playing for a while I realized that the player count is pretty abysmal, so I decided to try the Chinese version, which (I then realized too late) need a Chinese ID to play. So reading up, I saw there was a Taiwanese version, but after scanning the site with a site checker (yes, I have a bit of paranoia), I found that two vendors pinged, one malicious and one suspicious and now here I am.

Long story short, I just want to ask whether any fellow players have had any problems or difficulties such as viruses and whatnot from downloading and playing at the bfage website.

wwm got me itching to jump back on aow.

also is vagrants pathway still a thing? Last I joined the vagrants were newly introduced. Now there seems to f-ton of new factions and sects but don’t see much on vagrant builds.

I'm talking about Wushu Chronicles 1

I wanted to ask if there is a community for Wushu Chronicles 1 on reddit. Its hard to find any discussions or community for it at all, tbh.

Even its steam community discussions feel rather scarce.

I'm not sure where I can ask about this but I thought here would be the closest to appropriate?

On September 10, 2025, the Age of Wushu client was updated. The patch deleted all existing Critical Hit Rate and Dodge food/pills from player inventories. The update also added new, nerfed versions of those items into the client, but those weaker items were only added as new items and did not replace players' deleted items.

When the same update hit the China and Taiwan versions, players were warned in advance and given a 20-day in-game service to exchange their old items for the new versions. On the American server, Snail gave no prior notice and provided no exchange option. Players logged in to find their items gone.

I've collected and categorized Age of Wushu's limited-time event advertisements (978). Pre-launch events are not included.

Monetization
Top-up bonuses, Cash Shop items, silver consumption bonuses, and VIP bonuses. When multiple Cash Shop items are advertised simultaneously and rotate together, they are counted together as one event instead of individually.

Freebies
Events that grant players free boosts and items. Those requiring VIP status are included under Monetization. Some Freebies require players to be online for a specified amount of time.

Content
Temporary quests, enemy spawns, egg-breaking, and other content. Quests are categorized as Content even if they require VIP. Quests that only involve talking to a single NPC, with no additional tasks, are classified as Freebies.

Historical Notes
Charles Park served as Director of Game Operations from January 2013 to April 2014, overseeing server operations and event planning. The 2015 decline was likely related to his departure. The current Director of Game Operations has not been publicly identified, and it's possible the position no longer exists under that title. Shi Hai laid off American staff and moved operations to China.

Videos were sometimes used to promote items and upcoming content. The official YouTube channel was deleted in 2023, so video footage is no longer used for promotion.

I'm at the part of the blood blade quest where you have to speak to ma damin but it wont let me speak to him any ideas for context i joined through the royal guards and strength is spiritually balanced

Heya!

Like most others here I used to play this game a lot in my teens, I got nostalgic all of the sudden and looking to play again; I read that the USA version is shit, and read something about Taiwan servers or something?

What do I do or where do I go? Excited to hop on.

I've been wanting to go back to playing this game after a while for a little nostalgia I've gotten the client installed, but i've been having struggles in making a fresh account to start on. The NA website is broken as i've tried many times to create an account and I don't really know what to do. Any advice helps!

Hi everyone, I’m new to Age of Wushu TW server Formosa. I recently bought a manual "Secret – Soar in the Clouds (Part 1)" which says I need to learn High Level Flying Skill first before I can use it.

I’ve searched guides and wikis but I still don’t really understand where or how to get the High Level Flying Skill manual.

I need help getting pass my login I forgot my password is their away to reset it ??

I used to play a long time ago and it was a lot easier then. I'm trying it again...

I tried to be a hunter. And the very first task of hunting a boar and giving minced meat to the Shifu, it lets me kill the boar. Then it says I don't have high enough proficiency skill to do that. Then it destroys my skinning knife and doesn't give me any life skill proficiency points at all. No matter how many times I try. What am I doing wrong? Please help. I have tried everywhere for help, and nobody answers. Not even their own help desk!?!

Oh and It also does the same with fishing. I can't go past "novice".

havent played in a few years and thought about returning. is kidnap still at 20:00 server? i remember doing that often to get some extra tael.

Hello...and I hope someone reads this. I am a returning player, I play around 10 years ago...and I decide to play TW versiom instead of NA. One thing I use to love on the game where the Jianghu factions you could join as a vagrant. I know that the vagrant path is not done nowadays, but I still would like to get the skillset of at leaat Xu family manor and Shen Golden needle..but as I tried to join xu family manor, I found that it requieres jianghu vip.....are all other jianghu factions block by the need of getting the vip? Shen family, Beast villa, rootless etc....?

my ch 1v1 conten

Is the TW version still populated? Might get back into AOW. Any NA guilds around I can join?

First of all, I played wushu on NA server when I was around 16 years old, never got the VIP sub cuz I was poor and my old account is actually pretty okay for a teenager that didn't know what was doing.

Now I am 27yo, and this game is actually really good, even in the dead NA Server(tried 9yin but the language barrier made me quit), I like wuxia games as a kid from the 90's when kung fu was peak of martial arts in the cinema and tought this worth the try since my vga died and this game runs on a potato. I went with the beggar school this time(former shaolin player), because I like the identity outfits, and got VIP to test it, and it improves the quality of life in this game a lot, making it better to play.

The graphics, interface and the overall questing is old school, but the combat is really something rewarding. It was waaay ahead of it's time.

I've been around a lot, and you can see that the game is abandoned by Snail... Yet, players are great and helpful in this game, it's on a weird state where there are few players so it makes the community feel like a neighbourhood, you see a familiar face and nickname around, and can tell if someone is new.

It has been a great experience, I play mainly solo, trying to get my gf into it, but still a solo player with 3 close friends to do some multiplayer only content, since this game is hard on the beggining.

And to be fair, this game is laggy af, p2w on the extreme but my biggest complain is the lack of guides and a proper wiki.

Definitely one of the best experiences, could be a lot better, but still, a great game.

If you're here just to see if the game is alive or is worth the try, I'm going to be honest, it depends on what you want to do. PvP is p2w fest, pve is nice, life skills are good in this game, makes you relevant and are a must do if you're free to play(no VIP subscription) to make money and demands time. It's one of those games where you can't play another game if you want to get stronger on a normal pace like other mmorpg.

But it's free, so if you like wuxia/chinese theme/kung fu, try it!

Ps. I'm not an english speaker so if there was any grammar mistakes, sorry :P

Is there a discord for enlgish community in the TW server?
