Graphics are great *for a free game*

 

It's also only MMO aside of Aion to have aerial combat and theres so much quests you wont find yourself grinding before high levels

Cash shop isnt as invasive as with other games, it mostly concentrates on fashion accessories and prettier mounts.

Talking of fashion accessories, because of multitude of outfits and "ways to make yourself pretty" this game seems to be very popular with women

 

If you're looking for a F2P game, this one is as good as they get...just dont roll a BM, everyone hates BMs.

My advice for new players is to stay away, there is no mid-game, the endgame is completly about territory wars but if you started now - as a new player all the servers are dominated by 1-2 clans of level 90+ people which takes around 2 months to get to as a hardcore player - probs around 6 months casually, since not everyone can devote there life to a game all they can do is grind and do the odd quest, there is little content besides instances every 10 levels which usually a high level squad will fly you through or getting ganked by high levels wanting to stay on top pvp'er list.

The OP is wrong as well, the cash shop ruins the game, the HP charms are bad enough but bareable , the main game-killer for me and ex-guildes who quit was the capability to upgrade your weapon with $$$, it inevitably lead to rich kids spending thousands of USD to gain a massive advantage.

Yes there are quest but what the op isn't telling you is 90% of the quest are Talk to NPC, fly half way around the world,  go kill X amount of creature Y and report back to NPC back at other part of the world. On the plus side i do like the graphics, and I do also enjoy the flight but over all it is Fly for Fun with a more mature skin.

As stated above, the quests indeed lack something, they are all like "go tell this guy he's gay and you get exp" or "take this magical radish to a guy who lives three thousand miles away from here and come back"

 

The manufacturing system also sucks, when i read reviews i saw comments like "the chinese version of WoW", yet it's pretty mediocre when compared to WoW, how can i gather herbs or nectar with a pick? on WoW you need specific tools or professions to gather certain items, here anyone can gather anything

 

Good thing that you guys warned me about mid levels, i come from a HEAVY grinding MMO (tibia), where 99% quests are worth 0 exp and you must do all the level manually, or botting, since the punishment is ridiculous, so i'm not unfamiliar with farming, yet i don't want to go back to the same issue of hunting 3 hours to advance 5% of my exp bar

Agreed haha that made me laugh pretty good.  I played this game for a while but ultimatly what made me quit was from the  time i played (around...a month?)  I was a cleric did the quest had fun, great community, probably didnt get high enough level to be effected by item mall users and rich kids upgrading weapons.  I just seemed to have issues with the lack of...variety?  The game music all seemed the same, so I would often end up using the in game radio.  Also I've seen videos on youtube where the terrain differs, but what i saw all seemed around the same things and areas which was kind of a let down, terrain and music really makes a game for me, along with play style and combat, and of course community, and how hard it is to play.  I love a challenging game the harder it is to play the better, thats why im playing EvE online right now, it doesnt carebear and hold your hand like WoW which i played for about a year.  Perfect world seemed very simple quest wise like stated before, but so are a ton of games i play just go here kill x get whatever item from that then come back, which is fine by me.  All in all, its a good game and i recommend it, i still have the installer on my desktop incase i get a craving to play it again, but I'll stick with EvE for right now.

 It could be only good f2p game if u r chinese and don't have anything else to do in ur life than just to play that game, and u don't mind to do same stuff over and over again for 2years, and also don't mind to spend tons of moneys in their cash shop. U say quests ? they are nearly all the same.

Co-operates with a golderseller/powerlvler site. What more do i need to say? F2P games is the crapiest games ever made in the history of mankind. I despise these games cuz they r all together evil. If you use micro payments for this game you'll be feeding goldseller, powerlvlers, boters and other activites that ruin gameplay for alot of serious games out there.

Be smart dont play free2play games.
