Back in early 2021, a private Võ Lâm game was announced through… Facebook. This game even brought on a popular female streamer as its exclusive brand ambassador. At the time, the streamer had just gone through a major drama, and it seemed like the game team wanted to leverage her fame to promote their product.
This game was promoted as a 100% authentic version of the Công Thành Chiến mode from Võ Lâm Truyền Kỳ, a brand closely tied to VNG. This isn’t the first time gamers have seen projects like this. For nearly 20 years, countless private Võ Lâm Truyền Kỳ servers have popped up like mushrooms after rain, on both PC and mobile.
The reason is simple: Võ Lâm Truyền Kỳ’s appeal is huge. It’s like a golden goose that every game developer wants to have. But only one official brand belongs to VNG (VNGGames). So these projects usually include the words Võ Lâm or Truyền Kỳ in their names to avoid copyright issues.
Of course, these private servers do attract players. But how long the servers last is anyone’s guess, even the developers can’t say. They can disappear at any time, like the Võ Lâm game mentioned above. Now, when you visit the official site, players can’t even load it.
As for the fanpage that introduced the female streamer as brand ambassador, it hasn’t posted anything new for months. The last post was the admin trying to sell motorbikes to raise money for Tet holiday spending. This shows there are plenty of copycat Võ Lâm Truyền Kỳ games out there, but the risks and losses for gamers are just as many.
