Game Description:
    This 3D MMOARPG title is dedicated to players who are interested in Chinese martial arts as well as the mysterious ancient China about two thousand years ago. Action is the most highlighted feature of B&S Online, you'll get access to dozens of Kung Fu skills and experience totally different excitement during combat, rather than to lock up the enemy and wait until either of you dies, in B&S Online you can do far more such as dodge, defense, combo attack, smart tactics strategy, customizing the sequence of kicks and boxing skills... It provides players a virtual community to direct and star their own Kung Fu movie and share the great Kung Fu achievements with friends all over the globe. You may have watched "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", in this game Kung Fu fans would definitely discover themselves doing exactly the same cool moves, such as the slide in the air across the river, the Kung Fu battle between veterans with lots of dazzling Kung Fu skills, cool moves, postures, and tactics that people can find in common in those Chinese Kung Fu movies. Of course, this game is based on Chinese ancient stories, but not difficult to understand.

B&S went commercial service first in China mainland in October 2004,due to the great reputation and impressive income it brought to thepublisher Sohu Inc. who is the one of biggest portal site in China, thefamous Taiwan game company Softstar licensed it for Taiwan, HongKong and Macau territories later on. Also, proudly to say B&S Online justwon the "TOP TEN best Online games for year 2004" award, which is purely voted by players. Since those two publishers are both on the list, the revenue derived from B&S Online would be available to check out, that can be a point to demonstrate how good and well acceptable the game isin China. So far, we' ve got 3.5 million subscribers and almost 400 thousand paid users in China. B&S Online is quite a mature game, we maintain a team to do update/improvement work everyday though.

I'm glad to see such a great title launching in the market, which is currently ruled by imported Korean MMOGs. The core of this game is gameplay operation, if you want to play this game only with a mouse like what you do in Korean games, you are wrong. Enjoy the Kung Fu, enjoy the action, enjoy the tactics like what KOF brings you!
