The Warlords is a free MMORPG that is based on late Qing Dynasty.

The mid-19th century was one of the darkest periods of Chinese history. Natural disasters, typhoons, droughts and floods wreaked havoc in the countryside. In the midst of this chaos, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, one of the strongest rebel groups ever to rise up in China, was overrunning the country and staging battles with the Qing army threatening the throne.

In this truceless world, both the soldiers and bandits band together to put down rebellion for the imperial government and the commoners. You can choose to be anyone of them. Take your weapons and start your adventure with your bodyguards from the Lotus Port!

The game will start in April 2009.
