    this game will cost you an arm and a leg to play.

    read this 78 page thread that was pushed into obscurity - the admin here are trying to hide the real cost of this game in a buried forum.

    enjoy (and go play that other game).

    play a venomancer as a maincharacter and it's totally free, even if you want cashshop items, just learn how to play that class and be fine.

    This game is far from f2p.

    Go spend less money and play something like WAR.

    It is free to play.

    But don't expect to be very competitive compared to those who do put money into the game.

    Observation... anecdote

    Free to play games with cash shop cost DRASTICALLY MORE a month then pay to play games at $15 a month.

    A pseudo-competative player will spend loads more money in the cash shop and hardcore players will easily spend over $100 a month in cash shop games.

    I've spend $200 so far in 3.5 weeks of playing (although the first month is always the most expensive since mounts, bank extension, ...)

    Also though once you get higher lvl in game you can farm your own money and buy Zen from people selling it so it ends up getting cheap to play. So its sort of a tier system expensive in the beginning, cheaper near the end, and usually free end game when you can make more money then you can spend.

    Yes its free to play, but as many others said b:shocked if you dont use or buy cash shop items.. people wont invite you to groups ect..

    I think im down to my last gold by now, and i wont be buying any rest of this year lol
    This game cost more than a normal pay to play game, if you count on the endless use of charms and inv ext stones ect..

    Good luck.
    This game is getting more & more Hostility each day.

    It's free to download, install, run, create a character, and play the game...but you will VERY quickly find that your ability to play is extremely limited without buying cash shop items.

    Of course, if you play a Venomancer you can easily just purchase Cash Shop money (Zen) using the in-game gold you'll make playing that class.

    Pretty much any other class you're going to have to dish out tons of cash unless you don't mind leveling up extremely slowly in comparison to your peers.

    And don't even think about being invited to an AoE party after level 60 if you don't have charms (another cash shop item or one that is extremely expensive to buy in game)...even at level 60 you'll go through about 1-2 silver mana charms every 2 hours in an AoE party (if you are a 'damage-dealer' or cleric). At $2.50 a charm... and 1-2 charms every 2 hours...well...try being in a party a day and you'll have spent a lot money...

    Now imagine spending that amount of money each week...

    It gets very expensive very fast.
    And the higher levels are either the ones with TONS of real life money to dish out, or friends of those kinds of people who get items for cheap.

    So make some friends with some rich people and hope they sell you items for cheap in-game coins.
    I read the forums when bored at work for the lulz.

    You are not obligated to utilize the cash shop in Perfect World International. It is by no means a requirement to play. There are players who use the cash shop excessively and purchase anything that strikes their fancy. There are also users who utilize cash shop items regularly, but do not spend any real money in order to attain them.

    You do not pay based on the amount of time you invest, you pay based on your own personal interest and your own desire to pay.

    If you choose to never pay money, that is your choice, hence the term "Free to Play".
