According to how many people play this
game, there are just a lot. Not sure why, but guessing it's their pvp system which kept this
game up so long. Basing on the community/ graphic/ and etc which aren't that great.
Relying on the community which is bad, because it is a pvp base game system. Once you killed a player on accident they'll eventually get personal on you and send off their high level friends. Which will eventually vice versa.
For the party system I couldn't agree with that. I would say that there aren't any party system in this game. Well, basing on why I said that, is because you're always solo. Never have a healer or a sup

porter to stay by your side. Always power leveling newbie or letting them leech experience off your kills.
With all these new update on co. You can basically power level a water taoist to level 110 within 5 hours. It's a good thing that this game is not a grind fest, but you can always ask a friend to give you a free
character that is already in a high level.
Other reason why a lot of people play this game is because you can bot level without getting caught and etc other bot/mirco/hack, let just say cheating stuff. And people can bypass the game system and do many other etc thing with it. For example, Mod the music, program a mirco to attach to the files that does auto leveling, change the magic effects, become a gm yourself, hack items, and a lot of etc stuff.
Well, I guess this is the reason why there is whole bunch of people plays it. Plus most of the server are always red ( as in maxing server limit )
