This game is starting to look crazy. To join a certain faction you have to get castrated. I can certainly say that it is a first for me to see this in a game. Would you play this just to see how the mechanic plays out?

That's nuts!

" MMO Culture has all the details, including a gameplay video if you're so inclined. In a nutshell, prospective Rootless monks must obtain a special daily quest and then undergo the castration process, which features a dedicated health bar. "After around two minutes, the process will end," the site says. "However, the success rate of castration is still considered low at this time. If it is unsuccessful, the victim will still sustain significant damage." Click past the cut to see a snippet of castration gameplay for yourself."

They must be tripping balls!

"Feature"?

I once ate five, live chicks to get into a cult.

Not sure if I would agree to be castrated just to join a faction in a game.

Maybe if the game was really, really good.

Yeah maybe if it was like New Vegas or something, but this is retarded!

So many nutty puns.

In the interest of just trying to feel something, anything again to help me know I exist, I am gonna do it.

That was a real thing in three kingdoms era china.

Godspeed!

Does Jet Li know about this?

My first character in Age of Wushu.

@theht: Nice

And these must only be the ones that made the cut.

There's got to be some kind of subtext here about free to play games slowly eating away at your bank account with every hat, ring, and pair of pants sold.

Turning it into a "minigame" of sorts seems kind of stupid and pointless, but hey different strokes.

@jayzilla: Castration is getting your balls took off, not the dong.

I'm disgusted with the treatment of men in this videogame.
