Just played it for few hours, finished school tasks. It very much reminds me of Perfect World and Jade Dynasty, except no levels. I liked that there are many combat styles and abilities which make fighting indepth, but everything else felt mediocre. Boring and plain stupid quest system, where for each one of 20 starting abilties you have to do basically the same: talk to NPC, run, do silly tasks with horrible writing, run again, run again, talk to NPC. Graphics on par with Perfect World, maybe slightly better. Pathfinding (you can click on quest NPC and character runs there himself) is horrible. One thing game doesnt lack of is amount of grinding and progression. You'll have to put in gazillion amount of time to unlock and develop everything.
Comparing this to Blade & Soul (which is also martial arts MMO), it feels that B&S is in another league. Better graphics, smoother combat, much, I mean MUCH better storyline and quests progression. And amazing cutscenes. I think people who liked PW and JD will like AoW. But it hardly can capture western MMOs vets
Thoughts after second, more indepth look:

The only similarities between AoW and B&S is that they are marital arts games. Other than that, it's apples and oranges. You tried to play AoW like a themepark. As it has been said numerous times, Age of Wushu isn't a mass market game that will hold up to the MMO Pop Culture. Content locusts will be bored within 10 minutes. Move along, AoW isn't the MMO you're looking for.
If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game.
Sandbox vs themepark. OP wants a themepark.
AoW has some truley beautiful motion capture combat. It's also the first eastern game that has me looking at western companies like wtf are you guys doing?. Beta fps was shockingly high. I ran a constant 45-60 fps with my AMD P4.
Full pvp, kidnapping, robbing guild caravans, spying, plus province/school raids. You can be the bad guy in Wushu.
Hey you look like the guy who aressted me
Hell yeah. Now when are they launching in EU?

What can you build or own in either game? In B&S, I would assume you get standard theme park stuff, so the answer would be nothing. What about AoW? Is the entire game based around FFA PvP, or is there anything else to the game?
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
Learn Chinese. Dur. Mandarin Chinese is probably the easiest to learn.

I played Tera on korean server, and i dont know even one korean word, it wasnt hard to play there. What i ask is, do i realy need to know chinese to play it, or it will be to difficult.
But you have to pay to get in teh closed beta right ? This beta is eu or us ?
lol comparing a super success full in homeland sandbox FFA "realistic whit a flavour" game to a high Fantasy already failed in homeland theme-park kitten game. funny stuff
