One of the big 2 martial arts MMO in coming to the Free to Play English market, Swordsman Online (the other being Age of Wulin) recently underwent its first Focus Group Test in Perfect World’s Beijing Headquarters.
All 6 clans which were revealed were available for play, while the main focus was on the PvP and PK mechanics.
If you have not read, the game uses a PvP system pretty much like a scissors-paper-stone game, where each stance or skills can be countered using the appropriate skills.
The game will be going into Closed Beta at the end of this year in China (subjected to change), while the release date for the English server is still unknown (most probably in 2012).
