Thats the chinese version of behemoth. because, chinese restrictions dont allow undead, demons or anything like that

Yeah, as much as it'd be cool to have that in the international game, they have to give the Chinese a bone in this regard. I don't mind never getting it, it's not like it'd make my game any better to play.

Looks like it's patterned after those chinese lion dance thingies or something.

With all that ps3 and ps4 trouble...
Will it be possible to add that mount if i buy and register a chinese version to my account?
Can a dev please clear this? -
07-31-2014, 08:47 AMFelisYou would need a new account from the chinese company Shanda Games who run the chinese version. Because chinese version is separated from our global version.Quote:

07-31-2014, 09:50 AMGilraenThat IS the 'problem'. As has been stated, new account. Further, the games will never be linked, ever, due to China's internet information laws. The internet in China is under State control, with all the limits to information that comes with.Quote:

I remember reading about the changes that would need to be made to the Chinese version of the game to comply with laws over there, namely excluding certain things deemed inappropriate... and, of course, those things would need to be altered to fit players in that region.Quote:

Looks like the Nian, the Chinese mythological monster that is re-enacted in Chinese Lion Dance performances today (I used to be in a Chinese Lion Dance troupe). I wish I could get one for the upcoming Chinese New Year...

Just noticed it looks like it's a two seater mount.
