In Late 2010, While Many Online Games Were Gaining Popularity, “Kiếm Thế” Emerged Like a Phoenix from the Cold Sea of Gaming.
This MMORPG not only dominated the gaming scene for many years but also became a symbol of the “family game” concept—where accounts worth hundreds of millions of VND were commonplace, making high-value transactions a frequent occurrence.
Then came the second “Bang Hội Tranh Đấu,” marking one of the most significant battles in Vietnam’s online gaming history. After over two months of anticipation, the gaming community was eager to witness a grand finale in the arena: “Thúy Kiếm” vs “Hỏa Kiếm” – two factions representing different schools of thought, both stepping into the ring for a fierce showdown.
Thúy Kiếm is Noted for Being the Most Wealthy Server in Kiếm Thế. From Day One, the community referred to this server as the “wealthy server” due to its astonishingly high entry fees.
While not the first server to host “Vô Song,” it quickly became the most powerful server in Kiếm Thế, boasting a name that invokes three essential attributes: wealth, skill, and resilience. BeoKaka, despite not being as renowned, is known as a “fun player,” not inclined to focus on achieving victories. On the other hand, SaoMai is a dedicated warrior, currently striving to become a leader in the VSHK2 tournament.
Thúy Kiếm is the “golden land” of the gaming world, where over 200,000 accounts are active. At one point, it had the top five positions in Vietnam’s wealth rankings. Most notably, it was the ultimate destination at the BHTĐC season opener, where no competitor could easily surpass another.
In contrast to Thúy Kiếm, Hỏa Kiếm did not initially stand out. Its reputation grew from its triumphs in the Vũ Hà Kiều My event at the 2010 Kiếm Thế Tournament.
However, just before the BHTĐC2, a significant event unfolded: numerous Vô Song accounts from 30 different servers unexpectedly converged in Hỏa Kiếm, creating an extraordinary concentration capable of challenging any faction. BeoKaka – Vô Song 1 Vietnam – emerged as the most notable name in the community. His entrance into Hỏa Kiếm was akin to a battle cry signaling his intent to conquer Thúy Kiếm. The community considers this server migration as the most significant event in Vietnamese gaming history, shifting the balance of power in Kiếm Thế dramatically.
In the Grand Finale: A Financial Showdown Between Two Factions
With the wealth of Vô Song being significant, players calculated the combined investment from both sides at over 20 trillion VND. Each account was valued in the hundreds of millions, with prominent characters like SaoMai and BeoKaka being pivotal to the competition. This was no longer just an in-game battle, but a vibrant clash between two worlds: strength – wealth – and the spirit of competition.
Although Hỏa Kiếm’s strength may be considered “new,” it has a more robust technical foundation, while Thúy Kiếm benefits from historical legacy, understanding each other through countless battles. The unique element that made the fight between these two servers unpredictable was the excitement felt from the very first moments.
Even after 14 years, for those who once thrived during that golden era, the rivalry between Thúy Kiếm and Hỏa Kiếm remains an indelible memory. It symbolizes not just a game but a testament to the golden age of the MMORPG genre in Vietnam—where glory was earned through skill, strategy, and sheer determination.
