The new classes, the "seeker" is pretty much from world of war craft, same model, same skills all they have done is renamed the skills and changed the effects. It's the same freaking class as in wow!

"Perfect World Entertainment, the maker of one of China's biggest virtual worlds, has been accused of patent infringement. In a complaint filed last week, IQ Biometrix, Inc. alleges the fantasy-based virtual world Perfect World, operated by Perfect World Entertainment, borrows too heavily from IQ's patented process of creating a facial composite. The company is seeking an injunction and damages, according to court documents.

The patents owned by IQ detail "a process of creating a facial composites by selecting 'basic morphological elements' or facial features from a library of encoded features and merging them into a single synthetic image with proportional components, thus reducing contrasts between the individually selected features." The complaint alleges that Perfect World's avatar creation protocol misappropriates the features-making system owned by IQ.

Says IQ Biometrix in the complaint: "IQ Biometrix provides facial image composite software marketed under the name FACES. The FACES software is used by thousands of law enforcement agencies worldwide, including the CIA and the FBI, as well as the U.S. Military."

Additionally, the company boasts of having received numerous awards for its software, including the Crime Stoppers International President's Award and the National Parenting Center Seal of Approval Award for the software.

In addition to being used by law enforcement, IQ says the FACES software is also used in "artistic creation, education, and recreation, such as creating personalized characters in the context of gaming and avatar creation."

The complaint, filed in United States District Court for N.D. Illinois, Eastern Division, alleges infringement of two IQ patents. IQ has also named Wagware Systems, Inc. as a defendant, accusing it of infringing on an IQ-owned patent through its children's game, Make Faces.

Perfect World Entertainment was in the news recently after reporting Q1 earnings. Its premier title, Perfect World, is one of China's most popular. Although trending lower, it regularly tallies more than 600,000 concurrent users."

    ZZZzzzzz.... Did you know that some jerk-wad lawyers in Arizona tried to claim that Apple's use of a mouse in their original Macintosh was a copyright infrignement on "An Electronic Pointing Device"? Seriously, frivilous lawsuits in this country should cost the false plaintiff twice what they're asking to end this kind of useless litigation.

    The article above is nothing spectacular... companies get sued all the time over "stupid stuff." Only the lawyers benefit from such false complaints.

    So now that the character assassination of the company (people already know their major faults as they are glaringly obvious) didn't work, back to the drawing board..

    PWE wouldn't be operating or in the process of developing a new 'game' if any action by IQ Biometrix was going to be taken against PWE.

    wow so much effort taken by players to discredit a game you are bored of playing. just move on already if the game is not what you want it to be. you all keep saying from what i have been reading that there are much better games out there. if this is case why hold on to past? what pleasure in that?
