Three Kingdoms fans will be glad to know that a new weapon, the War Fan, has been released in Perfect World Entertainment's Heroes of Three Kingdoms.

Potter and the rest of Perfect World Entertainment have learned some valuable lessons during the Closed Beta phase, and Potter provides some insight into the game’s growth and future.
Good stuff man, im digging this the more I look into it. Also, any game with samurai swords is cool in my book
