So if you think you are going to pvp and play this game for free, think again.

Lol.  I'm playing this game right now, level 101.  Haven't spent a dime and pwning just fine in PvP and battlegrounds.

Learn 2 Play nub.

What is the relationship between advertising expenditures and press coverage? IE is the willingness of publications to review a game related to that games willingness to spend marketing bucks paying for advertising with that publication?

 

MMORPG covers Free to Play games, and as a result Free to Play gamers come read stuff on MMORPG.  Since Free to Play gamers come read stuff on MMORPG, Free to Play publishers buy ads on MMORPG.

Now just take that flow of events and reverse engineer it.  That's why big major media sites are starting to turn their heads and cover Free to Play.

I've played this game for a little while and even spent some money in it. I felt quite lonely in the game. I loved the music in it, and graphisc were ok. Comparing to Atlantica Online that I started to play about 2 months ago, Perfect World is not as 'alive'.

We're you playing the US version or the European version?  Cause the US servers are pretty damn congested in terms of players.

Also pretty sure the game list needs to be updated as it came out in Fall 2008 if I remember correctly.

Pvp in Perfect World is much like Runes of Magic, it is highly dependent on how much you spend in the item shop.  It has a form of pvp called Territory Wars where your guild controls territory, but again is highly dependent on how many big spenders you have in the guild. 

lol sorry but no.  I've been PvPing avidly on Lost City and haven't had to spend a dime on the game.  There are ways to access cash shop items without spending money buddy.

Sorry to say but in my experience playing this game, I haven't been forced to buy a single item from the cash shop.  Those who say otherwise are either idiots, or haven't even really played the game.

I was just browsing though MMOsite.com and I just saw that perfect world is having a closed beta for the US version. This is pretty cool because I played the Malaysia version and it was cool but it had such broken English and the lag was horrible. This version is gonna be completely translated to English and the servers will be hosted here. Check it out if your interested. Registration hasn't started yet though. :( All the info I could find is listed below.

Looks like the rumors are true.

Man thats a cop out. Free is great and grats for making it free but when you dont offer good customer service it turns out to be another game thats crappy.

Man if you dont enjoy doing that then  dont do it. The great thing about WOW is that it gives you alot of options in how you can earn gear. I personally like way and I play very casually.

I learned to organize my time better and then continued to play WOW. Its all about time management.

Nice pics and thanks for the link. This game looks great and if there pvp is as good as they say they probably got a hit. I hope the beta launches soon.

Yea that sucks. To bad he wont be making any more cameos on the show. I hope everyone who enjoyed the series will remember him as a good actor.

Yea thats pretty much true. I think most developers have noticed that users like to be as interactive as possible so they build that stuff into the game even if it wasnt there original intention.

I think the video confirms it for me.  It has really good graphics and all I need to know now is the combat system. As long as its decent im sure the game will be great.

Yea im sure if they make it tactical enough either type of combat would work. I just hope they put alot of time into it to make it perfect.

Its true. while I dont play as much as I used to I do log on a few times a week to do some arena and dailies. Im sure once the expansion comes out tons of people will come back.

The series were great  and with the amount of potential this game has im sure its gonna be great. Lets just hope they do beta soon.

That was the Malaysian version buddy, not the US Version.

This game is going to be so awsome. When wil they annouce who gets in?

This game is not worth playing in my opinion. I dont like the mechanics pure and simple. If anyone is at the end game can you tell me if it was worth it.
