Acclaim Games is pleased to announce the start of Open Beta testing for
9Dragons, our martial arts MMORPG. After several months of Closed Beta
testing, 9Dragons is now open to all players for Open Beta testing. Anyone
can now become a clan disciple and train their mind, body, and spirit to
become a great Kung Fu warrior of The Land.
Also, effective immediately, Acclaim will begin providing service for
9Dragons in Europe on a dedicated European server initially located in the
US and soon to be moved to a location in Europe for improved access.
Acclaim’s service will also provide European players with a team of
dedicated Game Masters available for shifts in all European time zones.
So, it is recommended that all European players create their characters on
the European server. The American server is called "Nirvana (US)" and the
European sever is called "Bardo (EU)" and you will be required to choose
one upon character creation. US Players will want to stay on the "Nirvana
(US)" server since the US connection to "Bardo (EU)" will not be great once
the data is physically moved to Europe, and can lead to big lag times. To
celebrate this announcement, Acclaim will be offering double experience
points to all American and European players on Friday, Feb 9 from 12am to
11:59pm PST (GMT-8).
As promised, 9Dragons will remain free to play for all players, supported
by in-game advertising and item purchasing. We feel that our advertising
should be conducted with respect for the player, and should not delay your
gaming experience. We were careful to insert ads only in locations where
there was already a natural pause in the game. We realize that this is the
only way to keep the game both free and enjoyable to our players without
distraction. We hope you will agree with our implementation and look
forward to hearing your feedback for future changes.
To play 9Dragons, you must first download and install the new Open Beta
client available at

see you in The Land of 9Dragons!
