Perfect World International (PWI) is the English-based, international version of Perfect World II--one of the most successful 3D MMORPGs in more than 14 countries worldwide. The game is deeply rooted in Chinese mythology and lore.

PWI offers a wide variety of immersive gameplay that set it apart from other MMORPGs. One of the most unique aspects of PWI is its in-depth character customization. Players can adjust every aspect of their face: width, height, eyes shape, lip fullness--everything can be customized to your preference. On par with the customization found in "triple A" console games, players can create and play as anyone--themselves included! This is possible with all of the varied races.

In addition to the extensive character creation process, Perfect World International features a unique way for players to customize their armor and gear. A dual layer equipment system allows players to mix and match new fashion items with their existing weapons and gear. Players can match their gear and stylize their look without having to forfeit actual gear performance. Players can toggle between the two if they want to switch back to the traditional armor look. In this day and age of MMORPGs, most end-game players look like clones of one another because everyone needs the ultimate armor to be competitive. Combining the incredibly detailed character creation process with the dual layer equipment system, no two characters need to look alike in Perfect World International.

There are many other features for players to explore including unique classes, over the top spell effects, and a large selection of custom mounts, both flying and class specific. High level players will have the opportunity to take part in the consequence system. With this system, their existing skills and abilities will change depending on their allegiance to good or evil. These players will also be granted new unique abilities depending on what decisions they make. In addition to an expansive amount of quests, there are also world events, ranging from treasure hunts to horse races, giving them new opportunities to gain experience, meet the community and obtain unique items.

The primary end-game attraction for Perfect World International is Territory Wars. The game world is broken up into 44 separate territories. These 44 territories are then split up into different tiers or levels. In this system, guilds can battle and compete for ownership of these territories. Guilds who win and hold a territory will receive the taxes for every week they continue that ownership. This can add up to a hefty amount of gold very quickly. These epic weekly battles can support up to 80 vs 80 players and are the pinnacle of organized PvP within Perfect World International.

I have a lvl 40 venomancer with a black panther mount. I also have a lvl 40 cleric with a spirit MP charm.

If anyone wants to try it I can help get people started and help blaze through the first 20 levels.

If you didn't already know, Dark_Marine and Darkling have a thriving clan on PWI. You should talk to them.

What's free, what do you have to buy with real world bucks?

Also how are the quests? Are they diverse or is it just the same tasks over and over (kill/disable x amount of monster y, collect x amount of item y, talk to x, bring item x to y)? Do quests have choices? Or do they always end upon you dying/winning?

Game is free, cash shop has stuff you don't really need but are nice to have, you can find/craft anything you need.

The early quests suck and are generic but after you get past them and start doing raids and the like it gets fun. Having a group to hang out with makes things go faster. Again, DM and DL have a verrrrry large clan on PWI and they are doing very well.

I might try this out when I get a new computer, it looks good.
BTW those forums have only like 50 members, is that your idea of a big clan Ex? :hurr:

For PWI and for DM and Ling starting it out of nowhere on a brand new server, they're doing VERY well for themselves. If you read the link they have over 115 members at current, I'd call that large for those two bros.

That screenshot was taken on lowest graphics, played on a 2 gb ram vista with integrated graphics.

Believe me, a Windows 98 with a graphics card could play this game.

Yeah but I'm currently using family members' computers, so I won't have the time to play it until I get my own computer. Incidentally does PWI have voice chat, or do you have to use TS?

We use Teamspeak 3, our clan finds it optional.

I played for a day. Looks pretty much the same as every other asian MMOs. Wasn't bad though. Thinking to try the new server on 17th. New server means, everybody is starting from lvl1 right?

Oh and a noob question: Where to learn/upgrade the spells? It's probably some by an NPC, just can't find which. :><:

Hell no. They'll release some stupid cash shop item thatll get people in the 50's by day 2. May I suggest a server that is sorta new where the economy isnt shit, Raging Tide.

At the trainer in your main town. Look around or use your coordinate helper (Green button on the bottom right of the minimap)

I'm already playing there. But since I fucked up my character as I always do playing first time, I have to start over. Thought it would be a good idea to start in the new server.

Well if you say tide's going to be better I'm convinced.

Ill tell you why.
  • A single faction doesnt own half the map
  • The economy is good
  • My faction can provide you with help, builds, perhaps coin
  • Its PvE (PvP is allowed but not enforced) and makes it easier on a new char

I'll probably join your faction when I'm stronger, that is if you let me in. I go by pure wizard build and I'm good with coins.

By the way pure wizard works like a charm. I do have less HP/defense but nothing gets close enough to hurt me. I even won 2 PvPs with higher lvl characters. ^^

Cool to hear Ex ;D

And our level requirement is 20, so you shouldn't have a problem hitting that. Whisper my IGN Riney some time [example (/Riney Rawrarwrawr)]
