That's a big question for me as well. They seem to be aiming particularly for the non-Japan, Chinese-speaking Asia market, which explains its low profile in the EU/U.S. and the use of Chinese, and I highly question the economics of that. I just don't want to join a fledgling company only to see it die a year later.

I do think that the "Fung-Wan" license (anyone seen the movie?) has a lot of commercial potential though. Judging from the huge hits movies like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were in the United States, I believe that this stuff, properly developed and marketed, would sell well in the U.S. As it is, it seems to me to be a second-rate Diablo 2 clone developed as an MMORPG.

I wouldn't take this job if you had a family to feed or something, but if you want to change careers, and don't mind the cut in pay, then go for it. Doing what you love to do is worth more than the stuff money gets you.

That's pretty much what I thought as well. I agree that it's more important to do a job that you enjoy that one that pays more, particularly when I'm not married and have no children.
