Jade Dynasty is a really promising MMORPG under development at Perfect World Entertainment Inc and if my word is not enough, you can see for yourself: the open beta stage has started for the free to play game and everybody has a chance to star in the virtual version of the popular internet novel “Zhu Xian.”

“This is a very important release for Perfect World Entertainment. We consider Jade Dynasty to be our flagship title and our teams in both the USA and China have put in long hours and an amazing level of dedication to ensure a successful launch,” said Dr. Alan Chen, CEO of Perfect World Entertainment. “Jade Dynasty will usher in a new generation of MMORPGs and we’re excited to open this virtual world to all players in North America and Europe.”

Jade Dynasty is the English-based version of Zhu Xian, one of China’s most popular online games, and it offers a multitude of features and systems not commonly found in free-to-play MMORPGs. Once inside the crisp, clean game world, players begin their quest to uncover the secrets of immortality as they first assume the role of a simple paladin. Players delve into a system where choices between good and evil begin to shape their game play experience as they obtain different skills, items and ultimately, a story that is unique to every player. Among the many great features, the classless character progression system allows players to focus on the skills you desire to create the ultimate warrior.

As I said before, there’s just one way of checking if all these are true or not: simply head over to Jade Dynasty’s official website and download the game client and start playing!
