Perfect World Review
Perfect World is an immensely popular MMORPG in China and has recently been released in the United States. The new International (US) version of Perfect World is now available, which means gamers won’t have to play on the Malaysian servers anymore.
Perfect World has an absolutely gorgeous game world and top notch graphics. Start by selecting one of the three available races; Human, Wing Elves and Beast Kind. Each race has two unique playable. Humans can be either Magicians or Warriors, Wing Elves can become either Archers or Priests and Beast Kinds can become either WereBeasts [Tanks] or Werefoxes [Think Druid]. After selecting your class you’ll be given the choice to customize your character, I strongly recommend you give this a try as Perfect World has a world class character customization. Players can change everything from their skin color to the spacing between their eye brows and female characters can even change their breast size! I actually went out of my way to make my character look as strange as possible and I think I’ve done an excellent job. Just take a look at the closeup screenshot below this review.
Upon making your character and getting started you’ll probably be disappointed to learn that the game doesn’t offer any form of tutorial, but Perfect World isn’t too difficult to learn as the game’s user interface isn’t anything unique. When I first entered the game, I immediately began to grind. I had decided to ignore the quest giving NPCs in town and hack and slash my way through leveling, but I quickly discovered that leveling was extremely slow. There had to be something wrong, as getting to level three took over an hour! I decided to head over to town and check out the game’s questing system and I was surprised to learn that Perfect World actually rewards players for doing quests! Unlike most MMORPGs where questing yields worse experience than grinding, Perfect World encourages questing over grinding. Perfect World’s quests are mostly “Go outside and kill X number of Y monster”, but this isn’t exactly a bad thing, as instead of just grinding, you can grind and complete quests!
Although Perfect World’s questing system gives lucrative experience, the English translations are incredibly poor. NPC dialogue is an absolute joke, as players will have to spend a good few minutes trying to decipher what some NPCs are trying to say, which takes away from whatever story Perfect World attempts to have. One useful feature that Perfect World has is the game’s detailed map. Players can simply select a location on the map, and their avatar will start to run towards it in a straight line. Although this isn’t exactly a breakthrough, it is incredibly useful for long runs.
Another interesting aspect of Perfect World is the game’s massive player run economy and crafting system. The game features an auction house, similar to that of World of Warcraft and a crafting system where players have to collect resources outside town, think mining and herbalism from World of Warcraft. One unique feature about the game’s crafting system is that the game actually rewards you for working on trade skills and harvesting resources by giving you additional experience.
Perfect World also has an interesting skill system. Players gain skill points separate from their actual levels and skill points can be distributed across a Diablo like skill tree. One strange thing about Perfect World is the game’s double jumping ability. The fact that you can double jump isn’t exactly a drawback, but the fact that you can jump 20 feet in the air is definitely a bit strange. Players can actually jump on top of the game’s largest buildings and scout miles ahead by simply jumping. Perfect World simply has so much to offer from flying mounts to a marriage system and is definitely worth trying.

This game made me delete wow.. WOW is sad compared to this game.. it’s hard to believe but true. - I can’t wait for the Int’l version because the dialogue in the Malaysian version is … mostly broken English. (Which I suppose you’ve come to understand if you’ve been playing F2P’s for a while anyways haha.)

I like the graphics in this game. I’m also waiting for the International version because of the lag..

by Jason, on 08.05.08 @ 1:14 pm
For the ID Card #, I put 133713371337 I believe. You can put any random numbers and it works.

by Maverynthia, on 09.13.08 @ 1:15 am
I’ve heard that the MY version is superior to the Internation version simply based on the fact that the cash shop items are horribly overpriced (highway robbery, ripoff) for the international version.

This game is hard to find the only download on the net that actually works but when you do it is worth the wait graphics are gorgeous and smooth ive only just started so couldnt comment on lastability but seems good so far even though somewhat slow in finding any interesting quests at the mo but time can only tell

by eddie, on 09.30.08 @ 5:12 am
Good game with sweet graphics and smooth gameplay…
only problem is you lack some tutorials that teach you how to craft
im still a bit confused as to how you do craft lol
by Ninja, on 10.02.08 @ 4:22 pm

by Goetian, on 10.06.08 @ 8:53 am
