Perfect World

I actually find it funny that someone who dislikes so much about a game to spend 100s of dollars on it.

Anyway, I thought I should add my two cents to this argument.

First off I am crazy for 3D graphics and Character creation. I 3D model in my spare time. So, being able to create a character like the way u can in this game and then walk around in such a beautiful game is already enough for me.

But more to the point. They spent almost $4 million on this game and you think you can get to the end of the game for free? Good luck.

If I was a games company I would create free games too and then find a way to make a profit. This way you get a flood of potential customers. However, I would continue giving people lots of quest and storyline but give them less and less XP for it as they advance. This way, people will look forward to the end and possibly pay me for it.

I am nowhere close to the levels you guys are on but I tend to jump from one free MMO to another. PW is not perfect but it has the potential. If they don’t listen to what western customers want then they will loose out in the west. There are lots of other MMOG companies that want to get into the West. One of them might copy all the benefits of PW and add what western people want. But for now I am amazed with what they have created. I think China will overtake Korea and lead the Asian MMO market if they continue like this.

And one other thing, I am dyslexic and yes I typed this up in Word before pasting it here. So don’t come down on me too hard if you find mistakes.

I have been on other MMORPG's where this same claim was made.  I went back to two of them recently and they were ghost towns.

I actually am American and do use the cash shop but I play the game at my own pace.  I am level 35 and not been pk'ed to date.  Of course, I stay away from the world chat, do not insult anyone or ks them and give other players a wide berth when they have clearly established an area to grind.

I have 1 of each female character and love everything about the game, except the inability to do world chat unless you buy something from the store (not sure if you can do this at higher levels).

The higher levels in my guild do quests with us, and try to expecially help us with the quests they can get experience at.  Only one of my characters is in a guild (my main). And I see the difference right away (better to be in a guild).

There are bots - something I did not see before this week, and they often make quests (expecially timed ones) difficult when you have to kill a specific monster in a short period of time and they are there 'too'.

Many get rich, I was fairly poor and spent my first $50,000 on a rare frog pet that was VERY underpriced.  I used that money to buy more underpriced items (bathing suits, fairy outfits, etc..) and I resell them a little higher.

I made 3 million doing this in just 2 weeks.  I watch the huddle of shops and the auction house.  Interesting too... My WF does not really sell many pets (not too successful at that).  The money is in the garments I think...

All MMORPG's grind you - somewhere, but in this one you can fly or get a mount that files (through a VERY easy quest), and land mounts are cheap if you just keep an eye out. I have seen flying swords (grade 1) for $10,000.  Now even a newbie has that.

But you can fly, swim, run, jump and under the water? Sharks and other monsters after you.  It is a uber cool game, sure a later grind.  I made level 20 in one day.  Then I decided to poke around for a week and have yet to see 'everything'.

Its just cool.

Shall we try Perfect World for the perfect world?

try to play a warrior (bhuda skill) i dont know its english version skill but recovers hp

PW ph is more expensive i think but you can see players are at the highest levels

i am an elf priest it only takes me 3 months to reach level 82 but sad to say, im inactive for

the meantime because of my work. but you can do many options in leveling up

if you were born with a golden spoon in your mouth, why dont you try lvl in crafting

grinding is the most easiest style, but there are so many ways to level up

you can try the so called dragon seeking quest, and hunt those loots.

getting bored leads you to no way

why dont try to be a menyak

ok,

ShadowZero says some things that are true, but he leaving out SOOOOO much more about what is truly wrong with this game. Shall we examine?

First off, if you live in the US or Canada, you will have some of the WORST lag youve ever had in your life. You know why? The "English" server is located in MAYLAYSIA. So, given that, if you like PvP or doing the horse races (for prizes that mean something in the game) or generally just exping on mobs: you are gonna be a few seconds slower than all the Chinese players, half of Europe and some Americans and Canadians on proxies. Shadow didnt mention that. There is no, nor wil lthere be a US based server, so you will always be slower for pvp and pve and whatever.

This game is F2P; but its not. Its a HUGE asian grindfest cashshop game. Meaning, you dont pay a small monthly fee like WoW or EQ2 or whatever. How these asian grinder games get you is really sneaky. Shadow didnt tell you so I will:

First, you download the "free" game, make a character and get playing. Up until level 30 or so (the game has levels past 100+) you dont need much gear, but after that you need some good stuff. Why? Well, its a asiangrinder, so each mob you kill is only gonna give you maximum .02% of your exp level, no matter how high the mob is. If youre lv30 and kill a lv40 mob.. guess what? .02% exp. No incentive to kill higher even if you can. Kill stuff your level? .01 maybe once in awhile, .02. Thats the reality. You are gonna be here until they put a man on Mars, my friend. Your gear better start getting better around this level, which means you have to buy everything.. healthpots, manapots, weapons, all of it. Now unless you play a Werefox class (kind of a summoner) you are gonna be broke every level, cause after you spend all that money on pots.. (one pot a fight) you have to repair. Its not uncommon for you to blow almost all the money you made grinding on repairs, esp if youre a tank or WR. The only way around this is to, you guessed it, BUY from the cash shop.

If you dont buy from the cash shop, the Chinese players and European players will wipe your ass all over the map. So, you have to buy exp scrolls to get a decent exp rate (now .03% instead of .02 lmao!) and that costs. Oh, you wanna craft and make good items and not have to depend on luck? Buy a item for that. Oh, the pots arent healing you enough or you run out too fast (each mission youre out of pots) buy a health hierogrph. That little item now costs 260k IN game gold and you cannot buy that item from ANY npc. ONLY from the cash shop, so if you dont spend real dough, you have to hope someone else did, and theyll sell it to you for that ripoff rate. (to make 250k in this game is not easy).

There is no perfection of classes in this game. A MG will nuke anyone to death except another MG. So wheres that balance? If a MG sees you first, youre dead. There IS no balanced experience parties in this game, Shadow lies so bad. After level, heck, and no time is there any balanced partying except in a TW. Everything else exp wise is get a tank, some mages, buy a stack of hieros (you burn thru them in a day of exp) and mass nuke mobs. Over and Over until you reach level 110 or whatever. Thats your exp. Or, you could run around doing these dumbass DragonQuests, that take at mininum one hour of flying and teleporting around, (no fighting) then you get some exp. This game gives too little exp and then has one NPC that everyone sits at. This npc named Eunice gives you, each day,20% friggin percent of your level just for 5 mins of buying stones, tracking down 1 of 4 or so npcs, and talkig to them, Go back and get 20%. Wheres the fun in that? Shadow does this once a day, but he wont tell you.

The worst thing, is this game has little place for US players. Why? because all the Chinese own everything, or damn near all of it. There are Territorries that on Delphi, 5 of them are owned by ONE Chinese guild with a crapload of lv80/90 players. So what they do, capture a land, get money from it, then capture more. Its what the game is made for. And soon there will be two big Chinese guilds, then one. And if you dont speak Mandarin, your ass out.

Not to think this game is a total waste, its GREAT eyecandy. They have the best character creation screen you will ever see in ANY mmo hands down. Thats the truth. The visuals are good in game and it is "free" to play, if you play a Werefox.

But honestly, if you play this game past level 70 and youre from the US, you have some problems. Theres way more better content made (by the way, this game is called the Chinese WoW.. whats that tell you about the jealousy/emulation of WoW?)

So to sum up, lag. Lots of it. Chinese players who are gods because they spend their mommies credit cards up to get exp scrolls, dolls for pking (so they dont lose items), hieros, extremely fast mounts (so they win all the races combined with the lag delay youll get), Chinese spam over the channels (hey GM! you no fix this game.. I no cheat,,, i earn that 100 million dollar! you suck GM).

But hey, like Shadow said. its free.

Actually to make 250k in game is heaps easy and i had over 2 mil in game gold before i was lvl 18 i agree that later in game it does get hard but to be honest with you there are 2 things in item shop that are anygood and that is the hp and mp heiro's the exp scroll is only good when you solo as when you gruop exp is distributed between pty members hence wasting exp scroll and to the fact you said people spend real money to get fast pets? well all pets come out a base level and it is up to you to lvl them up to get them faster so i think that is a waste of a whinge if they have faster pets then you unfortunately that is bad luck on your part the game has alot more to do then just grind try doing dragon quest they get you great exp and bonuses without haveing to fight much at all plus you have eunice in Dragon city that gives the easiest exp in game it may only be once a day but it adds up to more exp every lvl you gain people are always selling cash shop items ingame so there is no need to spend cash in the shop unless you really want to i have not used any real money in this game yet i am currently sitting on just over 5 mil in gold at lvl 66 have just about everything i need from fully stated armour that will last me a further 6 lvl's to my Deity weapon that will last me a further 5 lvl's so if you use your head in this game you can do without the cash shop jsut shop around study the AH sell gear at good profit margins dont be greedy and you will come out on top all the time.

Not really, because you can buy the coins needed for the cash shop in the auction house.

I saved up and traded my in-game cash for coins used in the cash-shop and was able to purchase some of the items needed to level quicker.

So no, it is not the same as the other cash-shop games you see online.

I have also seen many people selling items they purchased in the cash shop in their little local shops, meaning in-game money is used.

I agree that there is money to be made - I had no idea when I started to save and resell the 'green grass' - I got from killing turtles.

For connection - the only time I have lags is when I have something running on my pc at the same time.  I deleted some old programs and I am fine.

I am an avid mmorpg player, and used to do the pay to play, and now try all free ones.  Sure, Perfect World is not the end all to MMORPG's but it takes all of my favorites and combines them into one.  So that's pretty cool.
