The attributes of Chivalry and Guilt determine the player's reputation and alignment in the Jianghu System. Elements of the game include solo and party dungeons, an equipment system, crafting and professions, a housing system, and mounts. Quests and many other activities, including gathering, crafting and combat, give experience points which are converted into 'cultivation' points used to upgrade fighting skills. This means if a player leaves their faction, or school, the player loses the ability to use that school's internal skill. The only restricted skills are the internal skills of each school. The game does not feature a class system, but allows players to join one of eight player factions, or schools: Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Beggars' Gang, Tang Clan, Scholars' Academy, Royal Guard and Wanderers' Valley. Players initially select one of eight factions, and then develop their characters, learn new skills, and engage in PvE and PvP content. The European version, Age of Wulin, which had been published by Webzen, closed in July 2017, with players being given the option of transferring to a new European server established as part of Age of Wushu, the version of the game published by Snail USA. The game revolves around the wuxia-inspired lore surrounding martial arts and adventures in Ming dynasty China. Age of Wushu is a free-to-play 3D martial arts action MMORPG, created by independent developers and procured by Chinese company Snail.
