Mobility is extremely important in PvP in this game, and the traditional controls are slow and will get you killed. When you enter the game, you’ll be offered a choice between ‘traditional’ and ‘special’ controls. Fair warning: A Scholar’s Legend will dump you in Chengdu, the busiest town in the game. Otherwise, choose the one that sounds most interesting to you. If you don’t care one way or another, pick Nameless Sword it has a unique and totally useless skill as a reward that’s occasionally fun to use. There are four starting stories, each of which starts you in a different town, and each of which has slightly different rewards. Your first choice when you launch the game is typical AoW: there’s no real indication as to what you’re choosing or why. So I’ll try to make things as clear as I can, so that when you reach the point where the game actually starts, you’ll hopefully want to keep playing. In AoW, you’ll finish it just as baffled as you started, if not more so. These steps would, in any other game, be the tutorial, and you’d finish it knowing how to play. I’m going to walk you through the first session of play, all the way through choosing your martial arts school and finishing off your starting story.
