So PWE finally managed to update their game with some "content", question is, can we really consider this to be worthy of the name "content"?, decide for your self.

-The Trials: For guilds that have the guild base can attempt the 9 trials, each with their own title, those being:

Trial of Balance

Trial of Defense

Trial of Towers

Trial of Duty

Trial of Elements

Trial of Eternity

Trial of Sacrifice

Trial of Exodus

Some of you may have read my previous article, and first blog post, The Perfect Life In The Perfect World. The feedback I got from that told me I was too focused on selling the game and failed to accurately describe issues that Perfect World has. Well here it is.

Attack of the Pack:

After Perfect World International's first year of being in business, they decided to release Anniversary Packs. It quickly became known that these were a huge problem. ZEN prices sky rocketed at their release, and they served to be a huge cash sink for the people who did not need a cash sink. With the packs the game became increasingly "Pay2Win." The chance of getting something decent out of them was rediculously low (as seen HERE), therefore the average buyer was left with almost nothing, while the ca
