Something thats been playing on me a bit is whats with the amount of talk and hype about this game. It doesnt really seem to bring anything we haven't seen before to the plate. I only had to check out some screens, read up a bit, youtube around and ask some friends of their opinions to find out all we have here is another same old same old pretty much. To sum it up "Another bish bosh bash korean grinding game" Is the general response I received. << Im not the one stating that

Let's to start off. The interface , aha the typical mmorpg interface, you got your hp bars, minimap, char bar, hotkeys and a nice view of your characters ass as per usual. Nothing new here really. They keyboard shortcuts were pretty obvious just felt like another mmorpg. I mean well, at least it had the mmorpg feel but wasnt really anything new.

The flying, well we've seen that before, Flyff.

Classes are similar to that of most other mmorpgs out there

Graphics well, not exactly great really are they... Lets be honest... The concept was pretty good but the graphics werent really that great comparing to other games that in my opinion had a nicer look to them such as cabal.

On a positive note this is one of the few free mmorpgs that let you jump - woohoo, but thats pretty much the only cool and different thing about this game.

Im speaking from what the game looks like to me, people who have played the game in deph could probably give some things that are slightly diffrent about this game than others but I know how it looks to me, another same old, same old mmorpg with not alot new to offer.

To be fair, if you want a free game then maybe this is for you I could think of other free mmorpgs that top this in my personal opinion but really, honest advice... Just get warcraft, or wait for warhammer online!

Edit: Oh, just remembered ... The other good point was the character creation, thats pretty good but I feel its a bit of a waste of time seeing as the game graphics are as poor as they are.

Word of the day here is: IN MY OPINION, and my opinion might not be yours.

Read other threads, some people who played it have given their views on it. It, of course, is a grind (especially later on). What did you expect?

the only thing that this game brings to the plate is its character creation customization, you really dont see that kind of detailed creation with free games.

Other than that, reskin the textures and you will find the same exact game that you would expect out of an asian f2p game.

Absolutly nothing special about it, unless you really enjoy the played out uber asian themed games.

Quest are the same old fetch/kill with little to no linear storyline, each npc has his own little issue and mobs/items needed to resolve it.  There seems to be a bit more quests than typical f2p games, but even that wares pretty thin later on in the game.  There are repeatable quests, but they dont offer exp or gold as a reward.

Honestly just pick a f2p asian grinder by its looks, as nothing else differs.  If you like the perfict world look then give it a try.

Also expect end game to be reserved for only the most crazy hardcore grinders, botters, and cash shop spendaholics.  Yup this game got grindy at level 15 and kept increasing, not sure what level cap will be in the end but i can only expect it will be reserved for those with the most free time and their ability to grind in long sessions.

yes this is a copy of archlord a huge area game pretty lame

altogether  mu online much better then either

even 2 moons but its a grind fest

mu online least has exp event that last a week

/me is amazed on how much fail this thread generates...

Sad, really. You would think people would at least do some research before claiming to know certain aspects of game.

And LOL@ comparison to mu...

Yeah comparing this game to mu is a joke, that game seriously blows.

Perfict world doesnt blow, its just nothing special. The same old f2p asian gaming experience.

I got 2 characters to 30ish and another 2 to their teens. Yeah yeah you have to play the game to 50 or 80 or whatever before you can judge it or before it becomes fun. Truth be told, if the game cant keep me interested past 30, getting to 50 and beyond isnt what i consider fun.

So yeah, new to mmo games or jobless this game should keep you interested for some time, if you dont mind grinding your ass off. I found the grind to hit about level 20, i cant imagine getting to max level will be remotely fun.

Of course there are people who really enjoy grinding and love the uber asian theme, so this game definately appeals to some people. For me, i like complex pve or heavy RvR pvp with as little grind to get in my way, either or is a win in my book, but everyones diffrent.
 

So that being said, this game just isnt for me.

what a horrible review , i hope you never review a mmo game again .
 

Poor graphics? You need to turn up the settings or buy a better graphics card.

They kick WoW's ass. They're similar to GW, Cabal, etc.

its chinese not korean

yes every game now uses well-established UI formats with little variety


The flying, well we've seen that before, Flyff.
 

Aion will make it 3!

Classes are similar to that of most other mmorpgs out there

class / level based games all follow similar formats, tank / dps / heal...

Graphics well, not exactly great really are they... Lets be honest... The concept was pretty good but the graphics werent really that great comparing to other games that in my opinion had a nicer look to them such as cabal.

graphics are entirely personal preferences, personally i think the graphics are infinitely better than WoWs, yet (like WoW) does not require a high-end machine

On a positive note this is one of the few free mmorpgs that let you jump - woohoo, but thats pretty much the only cool and different thing about this game.

bunnyhoppers are lame IMO - luckily ppl dont tend to bunnyhop in this game

Im speaking from what the game looks like to me, people who have played the game in deph could probably give some things that are slightly diffrent about this game than others but I know how it looks to me, another same old, same old mmorpg with not alot new to offer.

its a pretty solid game with lots of questing. but the grind at mid-later levels (70+) is a turn-off for me and will be for many. i've played a few korean games, and IMO PW is clearly a level above all of them at least

To be fair, if you want a free game then maybe this is for you I could think of other free mmorpgs that top this in my personal opinion but really, honest advice... Just get warcraft, or wait for warhammer online!

what free games do you think are better than this? seriously, of the several i've tried, NONE even come close

Edit: Oh, just remembered ... The other good point was the character creation, thats pretty good but I feel its a bit of a waste of time seeing as the game graphics are as poor as they are.

yes the char creation is excellent, it only lacks a height slider IMO, but again IMO both the graphical style and the chars are good ... much better than many p2p western games, and all the f2p games ive seen

Word of the day here is: IN MY OPINION, and my opinion might not be yours.

it makes me wonder what you've based your opinions on... "I only had to check out some screens, read up a bit, youtube around and ask some friends" ahh - that explains it

IMO - this is one of the worst reveiws of a game ive ever read, it seems entirely based on prejudice, with no first-hand experience

indeed i wouldnt be surprised if you have never even played it (certainly i would be extreemly surprised had you even made say level 30 where pvp opens up (an experienced player can make that in 1 day)

The game is a borefest. You grind forever doing mundane kill 30 of X a million times over. The graphics are decent for a F2p game, but the gameplay itself is pretty meh. What the real turn off for me is the community itself at PWI. They have a pretty poor community. I thought the WoW community was bad, but these guys make WoW look like angels.

The PWI dev team has made one blunder after another since closed beta. They lied about having 4 servers up during closed beta then put 2 out and made them both pvp. Once Open Beta came about we got 1 pve and 1pvp server. They have had issues now with how much their Cash Shop items cost. Zen is the in game currency and you can buy it with real dollars. 1 zen=1 US dollar right now and the folks from other countries are flipping out. I personally wont spend a single dime on this game, so it doesnt affect me, but to some they say its a must that you spend money to play at higher levels.

To me..the game is just something to futz around with when Im bored. Its monotenus and not really fun. Anyone can grind, but it gets old fast. I just like the graphics and the mounts. About the only 2 things that make the game bearable.

If you want a free game to play at least this one is somewhat bearable. If your looking for a real game to play then give this one a pass. Its not worth it in all honesty.

I didn't realize you had to be an experienced player in order to write a review for a game. What a shame, I was planning on trying this game out, so I could write my thoughts about it later.

It seems like the community doesn't want anyone unless they're planning on sticking around to whatever arbitrary level this particular game "opens up" at.

While it is a poor review by all standards, your counter-arguments to the reviewer are equally poor. Here's a tip: If you want people to play the game, don't talk about how much it is like every other game, even if the features are very similar to most games out there right now. Now, if your goal is to play by yourself, then, never mind me.

It certainly helps if you at least play it rather than basing it on - "I only had to check out some screens, read up a bit, youtube around and ask some friends of their opinions."  

What a shame, I was planning on trying this game out, so I could write my thoughts about it later. Dont let me stop you, though if you write a review at least play the game, and be honest if it is just an 'initial impression' based on a few levels.

It seems like the community doesn't want anyone unless they're planning on sticking around to whatever arbitrary level this particular game "opens up" at. Again you seem to read whatever you like into any situation / dialogue, regardless of what was actaully said. I mentioned lvl 30 specifically, because it is where the pvp becomes unlocked, and is at a point whereby a player should have exp
