Age Of Wulin To Be Reabsorbed Into Snail Games
On July 11th, 2017, Age of Wulin will be reabsorbed under publisher Snail Games and be rechristened "Age of Wushu." If you didn't know, Age of Wulin is the EU version of Age of Wushu, published under Webzen. Why they have two separate names, I'm not quite sure. But when July rolls around, Snail Games will reassert control and the NA and EU versions will combine into one.
This begs a few questions, such as "What happens to my characters?" Don't worry, the nebulous 'they' has thought ahead:
Snail Games came up with a very convenient and great solution on how to keep (rather, migrate) your characters. During the maintenance on the 10th of May, Snail Games will apply a patch which will introduce a new NPC to the game. The name of the NPC is "Account Transfer Ambassador", and you will be able to find him in 2 locations: Chengdu 917 552 and Suzhou 330 743. This NPC has the sole purpose of registering your character for a transfer.
The NPC will accept your reservation for transfer from the 10th of May until the 4th of July.
The official blog announcement lays out step-by-step how the merger will proceed like it was compiled by human resources. In case you're worries about the merger it's worth taking a look. Or, if you ever had an inkling to return to Age of Wulin/Wushu it might be worth securing your character.
Maybe, next it will show up on Steam. I can dream.
