The latest free online RPG project from gPotato is quickly approaching its highly anticipated closed beta stage, and to celebrate, Gala Networks have released some juicy information on the oriental themed, Age of Wulin.

Age of Wulin will thrust players into the turmoil filled times of Ancient China, an original free to play MMORPG that is home to a variety of innovative features. The most notable of these features is the game world itself. The Age of Wulin game world is roughly 130 sq. km in size and is accurately mapped around China in the late 1300′s. The game also boasts a number of other defining features such as classless character progression, high-quality Kung-Fu animations and a massive selection of abilities and skills.
