Having played the korean version, I would say this game has big world map. There are 6 starting areas, a main town( where players can trade/set shops/etc) and several pvp areas, dungeons. Overall, the world is huge, not as big as WoW but is somewhat near it.

6.How is the party system in this game, is grouping forced or optional? When you group is the xp better? Are there a lot of activities for groups to do together, such as quests, dungeons etc?

Yes you can have a party on 9 dragons, and you can configure the options of the party like: XP Distribuition and Loot Distribuition.
Either can be individual or shared. Shared loot and xp, will be split evenly among the members of the party.

While individual loot anyone of the party can loot.And individual XP will be given based on the damage done by each one that attacked

7.Is 9dragon Anti Bot?

Acclaim will have strict policies against botting, and deal with those that do accordingly.Since botting will ruin the playing atmosphere of other players, Acclaim will have rules to prevent the bot system from happening so all players can play at an enjoyable level.

8.What does 9Dragongs have which no other current MMORPG have? What will attract customers of excisting MMORPG to this? Does 9Dragons bring anything new / unique to the MMORPG genre? Thanks, DanDubi

Most mmorpgs that are out either follow the route of medieval generic kind mmmorpg style. While there are some martial arts mmorpgs that exsist, none come close to the theme of 9Dragons. 9Dragons is based on a theme of martial arts during the ming dynasty that would considered to be legendary stories passed down by the chinese people. 9Dragons give the player a chance to

join 9 different clans, train under them, and master their secret kung fu styles. There is also pvp system which is completely different from any other mmorpgs and can be considered to be a nongrinding game with

many quests to keep you occupied.

9.Will there many hard bosses in 9dragons where many people have to fight to win such as big partys or guilds.

Yess!! hehe
The reward of a war is a special buff that allow you to get into the last level of a PK dungeon buried beneath the Bloody Sand and a special buff that allow you to resist the poison traps within the dungeon.

10.If you had to choose 2 skills out of all, which do you think are most vital to the game? In my opinion, I would chose the one that increases Health (Not sure what it is officially called), and the one that increases Vital Energy (Again, not sure of the official name of the skill right now). I don?t think strength plays an REALLY important part, although I know almost everyone is going to disagree with me. I think the weapon and other equipment helps strength the most. I barely see my notice any difference in my attack while killing when I upgrade my strength. Anyway, what do you think?

well for me health is more important the higher the health is the longer you stay in battle alive while in defence you can always catch up on it unlike the health points can never turn back time for defence all you need is a rare armor and good in refining
