After work, one more session with old teammates: Kingdom W puts the guild back together

Once, an entire evening could disappear into a dungeon run. Now the group chat often reads, “Working late; join you later.” Playing together as adults means finding a shared pocket of time. Kingdom W: Blood Oath opens pre-registration in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau on October 30 around guild cooperation and war MMO play. Three races, five weapon types and a streamer gathering give old teammates a reason to start talking again.

Ask how your friends want to play first

Announced features include individual duels, field PK, large siege battles and cross-server battlefields, offering different scales of combat around which to gather. The game is currently taking pre-registrations; these are the publisher’s announced features. A good beginning might be asking who wants the front line this time, and who would rather spot opportunities from behind.

The three races are human, elf and orc, with greatsword, bow, spear, staff and one-handed sword as five weapon options. The press release describes freely switching weapons to support team flexibility. Discussing preferred controls and positions can itself become a gathering. Returning teammates may want to change styles and try a role they once left to someone else.

Six streamers, two campaign groups

The pre-registration campaign divides into 霸權戰盟 and 反戰聯盟. 丁特, 文老爹 and 令狐沖 join the former; 小許, 棺月 and 平民百姓 the latter. Selecting a group on the campaign page grants its corresponding exclusive title. The official rules specify that these are pre-registration campaign groups, separate from in-game guilds. It is a starting point for following a streamer or grouping with friends.

For friends with busy schedules, pre-registration can be an easy reunion: post a character image, ask about favourite weapons and agree to discuss playtimes when the servers open. Spectacle draws attention, but what stays with you may be someone waiting for the group or remembering your habits. Discussing a realistic shared time makes the reunion more tangible.

Rewards come in steps; follow official launch news

The campaign page lists the blue pet 暗影雲豹 for mobile-number registration and one million coins for store pre-registration, with further rewards for fan-page and group tasks. Weapon-appearance wishes unlock through collective milestones: 100,000, 300,000, 500,000 and 800,000 registrations award 1, 2, 3 and 5 wishes respectively, totalling 11. Invitations and other tasks can earn campaign points and material boxes; the page provides the steps.

The formal server-opening date awaits an official announcement. The page says relevant codes and server-wide resources must be claimed or redeemed within 30 days after server opening and character creation. For now, share the information with the people you hope to play with and explore the characters and campaign. When everyone finally logs in, “You made it” may be the voice worth returning for.
