Introduction
9 Dragons is a persistent world in which victories and hard work will not pass unnoticed. Everything gained will make the player stronger for the next encounter.

9Dragons Gold is set in Ancient China during the Ming Dynasty. During that era China was a lawless and dangerous place. Out of necessity, different fighting styles developed for defense. These styles were honed by each clan and became famous (e.g. Drunken Monkey or Praying Mantis).

Wen you start the game launcher you will be directed to the 9Dragons homepage for log in (Official site log in for IE users only, Firefox,Opera and safari users have to log in with a special launcher, MORE INFORMATION HERE) then you click play at the site and the game will launch. Te log in screen is pretty nice, after log in you will have to either create or choose a character. When creating a character you wont have too much to customise, 8 diffrent faces, 12 diffrent hairs, and 3 diffrent suits. You also have to coose a starting area. When starting the game you will be offerd to take a tutorial, this is only killing six guards and ow to equip a weapon. After this you will be redirected to the area you choose to start on when creating the character.

In 9 Dragons Gold, players assume the role of a Dreamlord in the control of a patria. A patria is a chunk of land floating in the universe with its own population and various natural resources. The patria is the base of operations. This is where everything starts; the population lives here, which enables a player to create an army and construct buildings. As the patria grows, more choices must be made.

Greetings, young Vagabonds, and welcome to The Land¡­ This is a very special time in which you have arrived. The stars are aligned well in your favor to make you all great clan warriors some day. As you must already know, this is The Ming Dynasty, during the time called Open Beta. A time for learning together in preparation for a coming age we call The Great Release. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Feel free to visit our message boards with any questions or comments you have and there you will surely find more experienced disciples to assist you.

It has been 10 years of relative peace since The War of Nine Dragons raged, and the great schools of Kung Fu sealed their gates to new disciples¡­ But rumors now are flying through the villages that the 9 Major Clans are once again accepting students. I must assume that is why you have come, and the rumors are true! I fear this does not bode well for the common folk of The Land (war rarely does) and something dark is brewing in the air¡­can you feel it?

Many grand adventures await you within, and I strongly suggest each of you toughen up those hands, buy yourselves the best weapon you can, and find masters to teach you some strong Kung Fu!

Ha! I am sure that by the next time we meet you will all be boasting to your friends that you are true martial artists¡­ Well, good luck, have fun, and may the seeds of The Dragon within you forever thrive!
