Perfect World is, without a doubt, one of the best MMORPG's out to date. (Even P2P MMORPG's.) With it's groundbreaking character customization, to it's fantastic gameplay & graphics, Perfect World doesn't fail to displease. There really isn't a background to the game, only that it's based on Chinese Mythology and it's set in the world of Pangu. Classes are named using the format Original English. This difference is due to the original names being created for the original Asian Clients. The new English names are the official changes from Perfect World (MY) to appeal to an international audience. Unlike common depictions of each class, most classes are available for either gender. Humans can be either a Wu Xia (Warrior) or Fa Shih (Mage), they use flying swords for transportation and have abilities that improve land-based movement. Wing Elf's are giving the ability of flight at the beginning of the game. However, it is really slow and should only most likely be used to avoid enemies. They receive the better, fast wings at level 30. There are two classes for Wing Elf's - Yu Mang (Archer) and Yuling (Priest). The Beast classes are demi-humans which half resemble another creature, and they have the ability to fully become this other creature with the use of a skill. Beasts ride on the backs of flying creatures for flight and have special skills which let them swim better than others. There's Yaoshou (Werebeast) and Yaojin (Werefox). They are both transformation type classes. Players can select and raise four different crafting skills. Blacksmithing (creates weapons and arrows), Tailoring (creates armor), Jewelry (creates various jewelry), and Pharmacist (creates potions and hierograms). Like many other MMORPGs, Perfect World has a complete marriage system. Both players will have an online notice, have a wife/husband title, have 2 special marriage-related skills, lover's clothes, and driving pets. To prevent players' account from hackers, Perfect World has put in a Phone Lock feature for those who wish to use it. The Phone Lock, when activated, freezes the account until the player phones in using the registered number, when successful, it unfreezes the account for ten minutes and therefore giving player access log in within the given time. After the unfreezing time, the account will once again be locked up, but the player still online will be able to continue playing, only that if he/she logged out, they cannot log in until lock is deactivated again using Phone Lock. (Note: Some of these features are not implemented in the MY version of Perfect World as of yet, but will be in soon.) Now, it's time for my overall ratings.
Graphics: 9.5/10
One of the most detailed free MMORPG's I've had the joy of playing. These graphics will blow you away if you can handle them at max.
Gameplay: 8.5/10
The gameplay is mostly revolved around quests, seeing as they are the fastest way to level up throughout the game. Grinding will basically get you nowhere. The PVP system is also nice, added with the guild system, the gameplay is very decent and enjoyable for a very long time.
Community: 9/10
The community is great. Some don't speak English, but those who do, are really nice, and will gladly help you out when you need it.
Music: 9.5/10
The music is very calming, and mood setting for whichever area you are in. The music is very well done, and the game even comes with a radio station where you can request music from the GameMasters themselves!
This game is very enjoyable, and it's a game where you will be hooked for a long time. Expected this game to be one of the biggest in upcoming months! Until the next blog!
Sincerely,
Phaux
