Jade Dynasty (also known as Zhu Xian (Chinese: 诛仙)) was a free-to-play MMORPG created by Perfect World. The game's plot was based on a popular Chinese internet novel Zhu Xian. Released in an era where popular MMORPGs were besieged by bots and other problems related to trading of real-world currency for digital goods, Jade Dynasty was notable for replacing traditional click-intensive methods of training with an in-game automation system. This automation system made 3rd-party automation software largely redundant and marginalized the benefits of playing for long hours, instead rewarding smart training methods and efficient algorithmic resource consumption.

On May 1, 2018, it was announced that all game servers would be shut down on June 5, 2018. Ever since the shutdown of the official game, there have been many appearances of private servers trying to recreate what was once quite a popular Chinese MMORPG.
