9 Dragons: Dev Journal: Monsters

Ken Johnston, the CEO of Acclaim's European partner, pens a second developer journal on 9 Dragons. 9 Dragons is the first title being published by the reborn Acclaim brand and hopes to bring martial arts to the MMO mainstream.

image 9Dragons is the first authentic martial arts massively multiplayer online game. Think of the world of Hero, House of the Flying Daggers, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or even Jackie Chan’s classic Drunken Master (if you are old enough or into martial arts enough!)

That world is created for you in 9Dragons. You can rise from a poor beggar to being a master of the martial arts through training with some of the greatest masters of ancient China. However, to rise to being a master you must learn to defeat some of the major monsters in the game.

    This article is good info but it doesn't really tell us why the info is important.

    So this really bad dude is hiding in this valley guarded by the most terrible of warriors. Just leave him alone, he doesn't seem to be bugging anyone anymore.

    And assasians? Sweet. Not like anyone wasn't expecting them. I just hope it won't always be "OMGZERS the guild of Secret Shaddows just killed ________. He was real important! You have to avenge him!"

    It would be nice to be walking through the streets of a magor town, during some kind of festival, watching this nice pariad and then just see some ninjas swoop down and actually see them assasianate someone important looking. "OMG THEY'VE KILLED ___________ FOLLOW THEM"

    Yeah, I think that would be a nice element.  The assassins/raiders/ect actually venture out to hit an area.

    Then again, there will eventually be enough wicked PvP'ers that they will do that for them.

    I do like the idea that mobs will gain experience themselves.  You'll never know if that "rat", by some chain of events, has already eaten 100 warriors just like you.
