Hello i have not started yet but i cant wait to,
I have 1 question that is really important i have mobile broadband (a USB i put into my computer)

And i want to know if i had that entire 6gb how long could i play perfect world?
How much bandwidth would Perfect world use in a hour? and what is the banning system like?
is it a IP ban or an account ban?

Whats that poll thing anyway how does it work? and is there a blocking system in the game? i'm pretty sure i couldn't be racist but what if i insult people like their mums (not that i would)
would i get banned?

And i only want to be mage or warrior nothing else and i wanna be human but where ever i look i can never get a clear answer its always mage is bad but get good and blademaster i never really get anything for him and votes always go to that veno thing i hope im not asking too many question and what specs should my comp have? and will internet speed have big effect on game? theoretically my speed is 3.6mb/s

    There's no way that you will max out that 6 gb limit just by playing an online game, nevermind 2-3 games. If you dl lot of stuff on the other hand then maybe.
    As for the other questions. Just be civil to other people, know what i mean? Although if you have to ask this kind of question then you probably don't.

    If someone tells me a port number or destination address to look for, I could just set a traffic counter on that to get some numbers :-)

    As for getting banned... insults are a bad thing, in general.

    Running around killing people... you can do that on the PK server once you've reached lvl 30 (I think... I don't play on PK servers/channels). This will, however, make you "evil" which has a number of consequences for the gameplay. You might want to read up on these things before you go "perma red" ("perma red"
    refers to people that PK without ever trying to get rid of thei evil
    status --- as a PKer, your name is usually displayed in red).
    PKing on the non-PK servers is limited to people with PK enabled; I don't think there are a lot of these.

    Guild --- there is no "need" for that, although most people seem to join one. I generally don't.
    Yindra --- Lvl 64 Venomancer (Sanctuary)
    Getting too grindy by now :-(

    Wow man. If someone with a little paranoia reads your threads, your looking to do some botting, which is against the TOS and WILL get you banned.

    Asking about spells that auto-cast that get stronger as you level...so you don't have to do anything.
    Asking about IP or Account ban..so you can keep doing it even if you get busted.
    etc...

    But I'm sure not going to be doing that, right?

    why dont you do what I did......
    start a few characters and play them for awhile and find out which ones you like the best.
    I started with an archer but now I play mainly a veno and a priest. I have tried them all and now and again I will play a different class.
    Just experiment and have fun.
    Dont be rude to people and you wont get banned.

    Game traffic goes over TCP port 29000, toward the 64.74.134.24-64.74.134.60 range.
    How much bandwidth would Perfect world use in a hour?
    Typical bandwidth use is not very likely to hit a bandwidth cap of any sort; you're likely to burn through more bandwidth simply surfing the web than using your Perfect World International Account. The amount is uses varies, often highly, depending on what you're doing and how many other players are around you, but a handful of megabytes an hour is typical.
    and what is the banning system like?is it a IP ban or an account ban?
    The terms of service can be found here (mostly sections 10 and 11). Typical punishments for violating the terms of service can be found here. Perfect World Entertainment reserves the right to vaporise your account, and to ban your IP address, if PWE finds such an action necessary. Definition of necessary is entirely up to PWE staff.

    In short, don't break the rules, please. That includes a request that you be civil to other players and not harass them. There is a blacklist system that allows you to ignore messages from other players, but that system is not an excuse to harass individuals.
    what specs should my comp have? and will internet speed have big effect on game? theoretically my speed is 3.6mb/s
    Minimum requirements are 98/Me/2000/XP/Vista Operating System, 800Mhz and above CPU (minimum) or Intel Pentium4 1.5GHz or above (recommended), 256MB or more of RAM (minimum) or 512MB+ (recommended XP) or 1 GB+ (recommended Vista), 2.5G available HD space (minimum) or 10.0G HD space (recommended), 32MB 3D DirectX8 graphics card (minimum) or 256MB 3D graphics card (recommended).

    I'd recommend a broadband connection to this game, but only for latency purposes. The bandwidth requirement itself is pretty minimal. I can't tell for sure if your ISP will be compatible without knowing how they treat outgoing TCP connections. The vast majority of the time, they're perfectly fine with them.
