SOLO already has a Card Game, if they added Weiqi (Go) I would never log off.

    This is going to sound like a silly suggestion, but I remembered seeing in the Housing trailer for SOLO a Weiqi (Go) board with two players hovering over it. While I am sure it is just meant to look aesthetically nice, as every good chinese scholar should have a Weiqi board, if there was an actual Weiqi minigame to pass the time between the other main SOLO content, I would literally never log off.


    I mean think about it, we already have a card game minigame built into our main game, and while I do like me some card games, I love Weiqi even more. I would love to sit down with my friends in my house and be able to actually play Weiqi with them, or to have boards sitting out in the open world and you can play with strangers, and perhaps you could get some titles, pet skins, or cosmetics from reaching how ranks in it. But even if no benefits were added whatsoever, I would spend significantly more time in SOLO just chit chatting on world chat while I played Weiqi if that were an option.

    Go... Was pleasantly surprised I had to play some. I like this suggestion.

    However, playing a standard 19x19 board might be a bit too time consuming for most players. 9x9 timer based is probably the better solution. Takes you a bit of time to get your ahead around this game, especially because every move matters and is permanent. Might be a bit much for the average mmo player to deal with. Though simple in it's concept, it is a bit of a brain teaser...

    On the other hand, if the game offers the chance to play it, I would surely be tempted easily.

    I agree that a 9x9 board with a timer is the best choice. Otherwise games might last too long. Go can be an all day adventure. But it fits the setting perfectly (I mean they already have them as objects in the game). So if the devs find it interesting too, why not?

    Maybe add Mahjong as well. Also a bit to be expected in this setting.

    Not a bad idea indeed, having some typical Chinese games to play at your house. Just for the fun of it.

    Mahjong is too recent of a game. It was developed in the 19th century.

    Weiqi is ancient and already exists in game lore as you can get Weiqi boards for your home. Mahjong would be cool, but wouldn't really fit and I think is a bit too complicated. Weiqi is fairly simple
