Perfect World International : Flying Mounts
Posted Aug 03, 2009 by Jon Wood
PWI Product Manager Jon Belliss discusses the Flying Mounts feature in the company's flagship MMO.
Less than a year out from its initial launch, Perfect World has already seen two expansions and an exponential growth of players.
One of the systems that makes Perfect World International stand apart from most MMORPGs is its mounts system. Similar to other MMOs, there are both ground and flying mounts. However, Perfect World is unique in that flying mounts are combat enabled. This unlocks an entirely new style of combat and adds a new dimension to PvP.
Characters first gain access to flight at level 30, with the exception of the Winged Elf race. Winged Elves are able to fly at level 1, however, their wings will consume mana until they reach level 30.
To unlock flight, characters must undertake their race’s flying mount quest. After a character has obtained their flying mount, they can fly anywhere and everywhere, with no penalty to their mana pool.
