The next clan that is available to join at Level 8 or Losing Self 8 is Shaolin, this clan is strictly male and concentrates on the prying mantis style of kung-fu. As you know for unarmed kung-fu was developed while Monks and practitioners of this ancient art. To play this particular character you have to be male and yes they do shave your head and you put on the famous monks clothing.

The final White Clan and hardest to get in is the Wu-Tang Clan also known as the "Devine Sword" they practice unity and harmony within oneself and the sword is the extension of ones body. They truly believe in Ying and Yang where the Male devours the female while the female devours the male. To join this clan you have to wait till Level 20 or Opening Chi 8 and your Wu-Tang basic fist has to have reached the level of 2 as well as Wu-Tang Basic Swordsmanship.
Now for the Black Clans that do not support the tyranny of the Emperor and all aren?t actually truly considered black well not all of them.

They are known as the Heavenly Demon Clan, The Brotherhood of Thieves, and The Sacred Flower. Each clan has its own unique story behind them which I will get into later but lets discuss the required levels to join these clans.

The Brotherhood of Thieves is the easiest clan to join equivalent to the League of Beggars in that they are a large clan primarily made up of those who chose to steal rather than beg for their stuff. They primarily fight with a spear since they live in the mountains and was used to hunt rather than as a weapon.

The second hardest for Black Clans would be The Sacred Flower this is an all female clan of assassins, who despise males and use seduction as a means to weaken their male counterparts. They use bladed wheels to fight with and are not to be miscalculate for they are ruthless when it comes to fighting.

Heavenly Daemon Clan is hardest of the Black Clans to get into basic the rival of the Wu-Tang clan and use Broad Swords as there primary weapon. They were the ones who truly deny the emperor.

The story behind 9Dragons Gold is each of there elite went missing after the war of the 9Dragons Gold later on in the game after you achieve the most you can do with the clans you are currently in you can choose a new more advance clan to increase your kung-fu for Black Clans you have the Black Dragon clan and for the White Clans you have Heavenly Fist clan.

First impression:
My First impression of this game after reading all the details to the game I had to play it, I signed up to beta test, and after a while I was accepted and got my closed beta key of this game. I was automatically even more impressed with the game, it is a unique type of game allowing you to chose your path and in that you get to learn new moves (ie:skills) and each one is specific on the role you chose within the clan you chose. They have the normal Warrior type role usually more health and dex and con than the other roles and they primarily use the weapon of choice for their clans. The healer role mainly the support function and rely on parties to obtain levels, they can heal and buff who they chose and are very helpful when you are in a party fighting monster far above your level. Then there are the hybrid role this role is built to solo, they have self healing spells and have some strong attacks but be warned chose this role you will never master a specific skill you will be a jack of all trades and a master at none.
