    The current Closed Beta playtesting period is now finished.

    Gameplay will resume today at 2 p.m. with the launch of Perfect World International's OPEN Beta.

    Our initial launch will open with 1 PVP server (Lost City) and 1 PVE server (Heaven's Tear).

    Do keep in mind that all of your progress and characters from Closed beta are now wiped. But fear not, with the launch of the Open beta all characters, stats and data are permanent components of your account for as long as you choose to play our game.

    happy adventuring!

    *dips her head in a part bow* Twas an honor and a joy.
    And now... let the games begin. ;)

    *waits patiently.. ... ... ..... ..... sorta.......... somewhat....... kinda..... well.. not really patiently at all :P*

    Well, besides America, there is also Europe. In Poland we don't have 10 a.m., we have 19 p.m. We don't have 2. p.m., we have 11 p.m...
    There is even no word about GMT (+8)...
    Is PW INT only for America?!

    PWI is based in America, but is open to Europe and Oceania as well. They will take other timezones into consideration for arranging events and things. :)

    But yes, in Poland it will be late in the evening when Open Beta starts... in about 3.5 hours.

    It will be 12am your time when OB is launched!
    I'm from Poland, actually. It will be 11 pm (23 in 24h system used in Europe)

    @ post up
    Thanks for your answer, I really like forum staff here, you are all friendly and helpful.
    I'm glad to hear that European time will be taken into consideration when arranging events. That's very good.
    I'm really interested in statistics about continents - how many users are from America, how many from Europe and other. You, the staff and the PW management staff should reveal some statistics about this since you have account information or you can just make a poll. It's up to you, I'm sure you thought about it much earlier. Well, me (and others probably too) are just curious.

    btw good luck to servers and databases when all the players will log in at 9 p.m. GMT and create their new characters! ;)

    No. The very first post in this thread answered that.

    First off, a big thank you should go out to all the moderators who have answered questions in this thread. Even if it were a repeat, there was no rudeness in re-answering them. Very nice manners and I look forward to being a part of open beta with folks like you (:

    I have a few questions that I have seen happen in other MMO's, I hope they aren't repeat questions.

    1) Will there be an option to ignore/report gold farm site bots/spammers? These tend to flood the game as soon as open beta hits and are a huge problem >< I only saw an option to report players hacking/cheating before, so I hope there will be a way to report (bonus if you can ignore them when you do report them!).

    2) Reported characters and their names - will their names become available with a suspension/deletion of their account? For example, someone name hoards a lot of popular names and then cheats, so they get reprimanded. Do all the names they hogged become available to other users?

    3) What will be the punishment for people selling in-game names for money/cash/cash shop items? As with the beginning of an open beta, people who log on first may hoard a lot of good user names and then try to sell them much later ><; What will happen to people who get caught doing so?

    Thank you for your time in looking over my questions. I really hope they aren't a nuisance.
