WELCOME TO NINE DRAGONS!

Nine Dragons is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) featuring supernaturally gifted kung fu masters waging war on behalf of their clans, in a land inspired by classic Chinese literature.

Like most other MMORPG's, you'll travel across a vast land, populated with powerful creatures, and players like you. You'll gain power and learn new skills. You'll discover powerful artifacts and hoards of valuable treasure.

But as you might suspect, Nine Dragons isn't just another MMORPG.

• Settings, styles, and characters lifted straight from both real-life history and authentic legends of China's Ming Dynasty.

• Six clans to join, each with their own unique kung fu techniques, base of operations, and unfolding storylines.

• Four roles to assume within each clan, resulting in twenty-four distinct character classes.

• An unprecedented karma system where your play style dictates your fate. Restrict yourself to honorable combat and walk the noble path, or forsake your reputation to win at all costs - until someone puts a bounty on your head!

• The discipleship system to help inexperienced players make their way in the Land, and earning benefits for benevolent masters who devote time and attention to their pupils.

• And much, much more!

First launched in 2007, Nine Dragons has enjoyed enduring popularity among its player base, and continues to receive updates, enhancements, and new content.

In 2021, Papaya Play obtained the publishing license for Nine Dragons for the global region, and the game can now be enjoyed on the Papaya Play online PC gaming platform.
