There are three playable races in Perfect World. The Humans, represented as humans typically are: industrious and ignorant. The Wing Elves, beautiful and sleek in their appearance with smooth architecture. Finally is the Beast kind, who are basically anthropomorphic wolves, pandas and bears. That includes the Werefox, the only female beast type, a mix between a human and a fox. Each race differs greatly thanks to the fact that jobs are tied to a race. For example, only a human can be a magician and only a Wing Elf can be an archer. Although jobs are given fancy names, they are of the general MMORPG fare, (Warrior, Mage, Archer, Healer, Druid and a mix of Hunter/Druid). As each race starts in a different area, balanced parties can only be achieved when people of higher levels meet up, around level 30.
Starting the game is easy, whatever race you choose, the tutorial is the same, and controls are similar. Humans start in a forest outside the main Human town; “Ethersword”. The Elves also start in a forest, outside the “City of Feather” and the Beastkind start outside the imaginatively named “City of Beast.” The first few quests involve getting used to the controls, using skills; basically learning the gameplay mechanics. Initiallity, the main difference between the races is that the Wing Elves can fly from the beginning of level 1. All it requires is a simple push of F6 and you’re on your way, with the option to fight while flying.
For a free to play RPG, its build quality is pretty amazing. The graphics are remarkable and the music really sets the atmosphere. Imagine being in a forest, a man playing a guzheng somewhere. It reeks of those Chinese martial arts movies. The music helps you to relax, and makes even the menial tasks like grinding slightly more enjoyable. Controls are fluid, using the classic WASD layout with spacebar commanding jump. They are more akin to a third person adventure game but they really work well.
After the initial quests, you’re sent off to your race’s main city. Sadly, the starting enemies are all the same, although it gradually pans out to give each area a distinct feel. You are given a constant stream of quests, ranging from the optional to the vital which further the story. These are known as ‘Cultivation quests’, and must be completed every 10 levels, otherwise you’re inflicted with a level cap. Annoyingly is the fact that for a game that has been so fresh so far, most quests involve killing a set amount of enemies, sometimes within a time limit, or simply walking from one NPC to another. Sometimes, just talking to somebody in a quest will give you more experience than killing any amount of monsters.
When your character reaches around level 15, the difficulty of the monsters increases exponentially, and you are almost forced to party. Finding a group isn’t very hard, a lot of people play. I found that most of them were kind, grateful even to be invited into a group. If you can put up with a bit of grinding here and there, Perfect World offers a lot of exciting new features than no other MMORPG has yet offered. Similar games limit where you can go, even at higher levels. At the beginning you can jump around, on top of buildings, back flip and soar through the skies. For the start of a game, it’s impressive, and it gives you the freedom of exploration that too many games do not have.
New skills are pretty regular. Some look fantastic, with the character animation being top-notch. Magician magic gives of a sense of power, and when fighting as a warrior, you can almost feel the blade hitting the victim. The sound plays an important part in combat, and is synced perfectly. Skills are learned at intervals from a trainer, and they can be upgraded into more powerful forms as you level up. You’ll need them for the areas and monsters that come later in the game. Many of the later areas are based on the concept of flight. For every race except wing elves, flight is possible at level 30. It’s fully 3d, and it looks beautiful. Wing Elves have angelic wings, Humans fly on majestic flaming swords, and Beastkind have enormous mounts. This adds a whole new aspect to gameplay. Remember that mountain that you previously visited? Well now you can see what’s on top of it. Want to stand on that tower in the town and peer at people below? Do it. At some point through the game, you will probably get invited to perform a ‘Hoist Cuddle’. This isn’t anything dirty, it’s extremely helpful. Put simply, it allows another character to hold you in their arms, if they have wings; you can go anywhere they go. If they have mount, you ride it with them. As well as a practical tool, it is also a social one. You know somebody cares about you when they hug you. If you’re looking for a change of pace from the general crowd of MMO’s then try Perfect World. It’s certainly not for everyone, but once you fall through the initial ceiling of doubt, it becomes a fun and rewarding game. It’s got delicious graphics, tremendous music that fits into the game world and it should be a crime to play this game with sound muted. It may lack a storyline and weak dialogue but it has oodles of innovation; a constantly changing game that is always thinking of new ideas.

I was playing Perfect World and Atlantica at the same time and found Atlantica a more intriguing game.After a few weeks of both and getting over the intial intrigue,i remembered why F2P games are free lol.All F2P games are boring and have the normal extremely boring quests.I was actually playing Ryzom also the same time,man all these games have ZERO content,you merely login for the sake of logging in on the wild whim you might find something unique or different but it ends up the same old same old. Of the three games i was trying only in Atlantica did i find some unique gameplay.Well it wasn't that unique it has been done before,but you just don't see turn bsed MMORPG's that often.One thing that has become very apparent in F2P games is that all of them look like they are using terrain generators as the mapping skills are horrible.There is no story or meaning to anything in these games other than a city to dot there npc's and terrain to dot some mobs around for you to quest or grind on.The texture packs are always low poly as they want to reach as many gamers as they can.You will never find anything ground breaking in these F2P games that look like Playstation one games brought back to mainstream. Don't fool yourself into thinking these games deserve a lot of credit or are worth paying to play.They are good to merely pass some time along waiting for something good to play or just to pass some boredom as you mess around moving from F2P game to F2P game.The most time i ever put into a F2P game was SILKROAD online,it had some unique ideas and gameplay but of course it still belongs in the F2P category. |

A perfect world is f2p, as such, with the item mall added in. It's okay for a free game, as you don't have to buy anything from there, and it's one of the only free MMORPGS where you can jump - and it's not loaded with commercials (9Dragons). But it's not the "best" free MMORPG. It's graphics are fairly good, the gameplay is just like "that other mmorpg". But with both point and click, as well as WASD. When I played it (a few months ago) it was okay. I was never forced to grind so I could lvl, but had quests all the way. I do, however, not like the fact, that you're forced to group up with people in order to complete quests given to you at a certain level. Reaching lvl30 alone was hell, but this might be because of my class, I should probably have made a damage dealer (Blademaster; human) or the other soloclass (Venomancer; werefox) instead of being a tank (Barbarian; werebeast). -I remember at (F- or D-)Q19 (or whatever it's called. An instance available at lvl 19) I couldn't, even though I was a tank, take more than around 5-10 hits from the mobs there, before I'd die. With healing potions, classbuffs and a bit of running back and forth allowed me to finish it, though. __________ The classes are the basic dmg-dealer/tank/healer/hybrid Dmg-dealer: Human blademaster, Human wizard, Elven archer Tank: Werebeast barbarian, (human blademaster) Healer: Elven Cleric, Hybrid: Werefox venomancer, (elven cleric) To me, it's amazing to see, that there is basically only one melee dmg-dealer. And he is listed as a "tank" on perfectworld.com. ___ One thing I like to point out, is the venomancers ability to 'tame pets', meaning you can go out in the wild, find a mob, tame it, and run around with it afterwards - it helping you in combat. -This is the reason, this class is solo, because you send fourth your pet, and let the mob attack it, while you attack the mob from a distance.
Overall I'd give it 3/5 because the quests are the typical mmorpg-type quests. "Talk to x", "Kill x mobs (to get x of y)", or "find x", but the graphics are nice. To me, however, it's still just "that other mmorpg".

I think the "free" part plays a huge role in why those of us who are tired of paying a subscription to games that aren't any better then then PWI. I mean, there's even an expansion coming soon, which i will assume will be free which in any other MMO of this scale would have charged us $40.00 (okies...$39.99) or more. As I have said before in another post, PWI isn't the "best" game but its a darned good one. Throw in the "Free to play" factor and I really do wonder why the games I paid for and subscribe to, can't come up stuff that a free game like this gives away for free. |
