What is Dragon Oath?
Dragon Oath is new free to play MMORPG currently in development. It will be available to play on a limited basis in the summer of '09 and become widely available in the Fall of '09.

The story behind Dragon Oath revolves around an elaborate saga of complex, troubled relationships among numerous characters from various kingdoms and sects during China's Northern Song Dynasty. The struggles the characters experience within their combating factions affect the bonds between themselves and their families, societies, ethnic groups, and countries. As a result, strife and conflict abound, and each player will find himself quickly pulled in to the fray, striving to evolve and leave his mark. Part of this evolution involves choosing one of the nine martial arts classes. Once chosen, the player's class will foster development of uniquely powerful skills and abilities that will define the player as a true force with which to be reckoned. Along the way, the player will be able to capture various types of pets, assume control of a powerful mount based on the class he chooses, learn a variety of trades such as smithing and cooking, and band together with friends to take down the most formidable of creatures.
