	The Clans a player may join in 9Dragons are based upon various schools of Kung Fu and are separated into two major factions, The White Clans (loyal to the Imperial Emperor) and The Black Clans (who have no allegiance to him). The White Clans include: Shaolin (male disciples only), Wu-Tang, and The League of Beggars. The Black Clans include: Sacred Flower (female disciples only), The Brotherhood of Thieves, and Heavenly Demon Clan. Each Clan has its own separate but very similar requirements for admission. There are also three Advanced Clans that have not been released in any version of 9Dragons: The Union of Noble Families, The Black Dragon Clan, and Disciples of the Iron Fist. Not much is known about this clan as yet.

-	Indy21, a game developer in Korea, originally created the video game 9Dragons, then they made agreements with both "Persistent Worlds" and "Acclaim", to allow them to market and sell 9Dragons to the European and American markets. The original In-game story for Indy21's Korean version was written by Wuxia novelist Jwa Baek and then Steven-Elliot Altman was hired by Acclaim to rewrite the game in its entirety so that it would become accessible to Western audiences~~.

	According to the 9Dragons message board, Acclaim is currently recruiting players to help translate the game into various languages. The Romanian, French and Dutch translations have been completed.

	==Version History==		==Version History==
	The commercial Acclaim version of the game is at version 3.1 (as at 4 January, 2007), where some new functions have been added, some minor user interface enhancements have been made, and some previously inactive functions are now active (such as the Yin, Yang, Body and Soul elements in the character screen) as well as some new advertisements. Critically however, the ability to 'keyjam' has been removed leading to many users complaining that they would no longer be able to train buffs as high level buffs require as many as 32 casts to gain .01%. It is unclear yet as to what effect this move will have on the popularity of the game. Versions 20 and 21 were patched in October 2007 and the level cap was raised from 120 to 159 in version 21. A notable inclusion in the previous version 19 was the long-awaited second episode of the "Road to the Dragon" quest series. While this quest in itself is a relatively low level quest, it possibly heralds the beginning of the next phase of the game. Recently, skill experience had been increased by 5 times, amounting to 10 times during double experience events and also bringing about more discussions about the fairness of such an increment towards existing users.

Does anyone know if this is a good solution in practice? It seems quite complex, and complexity is the enemy of security.

Has it helped anybody, or has it caused problems? Personally, I have had bad experiences with Dell-preinstalled software.

VMLite overview

New page

VMLite XP Mode offers similar functions as Microsoft Windows XP Mode, but doesn't require hardware virtualization. It allows you to run Windows XP at the same time from your desktop running on a different host operating system.

Even if your computer has VT-x or AMD-V, you should try out VMLite, because it runs faster, has better graphics and supports 3D/2D acceleration, supports multiple virtual CPUs, supports 64-bit guests, etc.

If you want to migrate your old Windows XP to run as virtual machine on your new Windows 7 PC, you can use our MyOldPCs software.

If you want to boot your old Windows XP directly on your new PC to have a multiple boot system in addition to your Windows 7, you can use our VBoot software, which boots an operating system from a single virtual disk file in VHD format.
