The martial arts MMO “Age of Wulin” is making a move and changing its name. The EU servers are transferring from Webzen to developer Snail Games. Characters must be transferred, otherwise they will be gone.
A quirky news about an MMORPG that not many might have on their radar: It is about “Age of Wushu” from Snail Games. This is a Free2Play martial arts MMORPG.
A game with many names
Here in Europe, it has been distributed by Webzen since July 2013, but not as “Age of Wushu,” rather as “Age of Wulin.” In Russia, the game is called “Legends of Kung Fu,” in Southeast Asia “Age of Kung Fu.” In China, it is known as “Nine Scroll Manual.” It’s hard to keep track.
Webzen has now announced that the publishing rights to “Age of Wulin” in Europe will revert back to the developer Snail Games. They plan to merge the game with their North American version, Age of Wushu.

All of this will happen on July 11. Essentially, “Age of Wulin” will become “Age of Wushu.”
On May 10, an NPC will enter the game to assist players with the transfer to the new provider. The NPC will accept reservations from May 10 to July 4. After that, this option will no longer be available. The characters on EU will then be gone.
On July 11, your old character will be waiting for you on the “new service,” if everything goes smoothly.
The exact reasons for the publisher change are unknown. It can be assumed that the demand is no longer strong enough to justify a separate EU version.
Webzen only states that they are incredibly grateful. The decision was very difficult, but this ensures that the game can continue.
Even if Age of Wushu is not that exciting for many, Snail Games has big plans for “Age of Wushu 2.”
