Perfect World International News - Update Interview

Posted by Jon Wood on Sep 09, 2009 | 0 comments in our forums

MMORPG.com's Garrett Fuller had the opportunity to ask a few questions of Perfect World Product Manager Jon Belliss about the game's most recent update the its future.

MMORPG.com:

The game has gotten some great reviews, how has it been to translate the game over to the North American audience?

Jon Belliss:

It has been at times definitely challenging, but always incredibly rewarding. One thing that is great about Perfect World Entertainment is that we are free and able to actually localize game play and content for Western audiences, not just translate the text.

While really unforgiving grind is common in MMOs coming from Asia, we were fortunate that we were able to actually change our content to make it more quest-oriented. I won't lie and say our game has no grind--every MMO has some to a degree--but we have, and continue to, adjust our game play for Western audiences.
