Jianghu is described as a whole social networking concept, and provides a deep link between the player and both their friends and enemies.
Age of Wushu has taken this to a new level by introducing the Jianghu System. Generally the best you can expect out of a game that leans toward hardcore pvp is a simple flagging system, whether or not that character can be attacked by the person they’ve offended, everyone, or no one. Snail Games went a little further by even allowing players to pay for a kidnapped avatar’s freedom while that player is offline, earning chivalry points for doing so. They also lose their accumulated offline cultivation gained in their normal job. The effect this has on the kidnapped player is that they log in at the establishment they were sold to, and must either stay logged in for five hours or pay for their freedom with silver coins. The kidnapped can’t be moved out of the region that they are in, but they can be sold to other shops as slaves. The kidnapper at this point is flagged, receives a movement debuff (you try running with a sack filled with a person), and can be attacked by literally any player that comes across them. The person uses a knockout powder, stuffs the player into a sack, and runs off with them. In fact, so harsh that your offline avatar can be kidnapped and sold into indenture servitude! Players are able to kidnap offline player characters. Living is harsh in the world of Age of Wushu. Players are compensated with experience and money for their actions while logged off, whether it be patrolling a school or acting as a street performer for random bits of change.Īnd offline living leads me into… 4.
For instance, if I logged out and my character worked as a guard, another player would encounter him while trying to sneak into the school.
While you are logged out, your character might be patrolling his school, acting as real guards toward players of other schools. Have you ever wondered where your characters go when you log out? In Age of Wushu, your character is transformed into an NPC and continues living even when you aren’t controlling them. I don’t know what my character does in RuneScape when I’m not around, and considering that all he does is look for a rich girlfriend when I am logged in, I think I’m better off ignorant. Even if you hate Age of Wushu as a game, there is little denying that Snail Games took the title to crazy town when coming up with some of the more inventive features.
