    I find it quite amusing :o It seems more like a funny thing, but it could have some pros along with the creepy sugar daddy cons

    This is another step towards making pwi an online dating service. Kids play this game, and you want them to find a lover? This game is not really suited for kids anymore. Please pwi, change this matching system or remove it.

    Its not like half the time people arent trying 'date' someones avatar in teh first place.
    But if this is about the new perfect match thing (which im sure it is) I was under the impression it was about finding partners to play with. WHICH.... is what FACTIONS ARE FOR, Or maybe I am totally wrong about that.

    Anyway

    I sure as hell can.. b:angryb:thanksb:cute


    EDIT: Holy WTF Batman, I just read the thread about this, and omg it says are you looking for a friend a mentor or maybe a Lover.
    I withdraw all my cute comments above >.> and am now just ashamed of my game for a moment....

    Just wanted to drop in and remind you all that the US version of Perfect World doesn't necessarily receive everything that the Chinese version does.

    So..... don't hold out for dating services just yet, okay? :P

    I'm not going to be the only one putting in completely false data and gender, right? :3

    And lol. That's one step towards nerds. Honestly, there's so many creeps and horny teens on my server, the drama arising from this will be hilarious.

    Giving total strangers the chance to meet up and have fun is bad? The new system I strongly believe is optional, and I have doubts its any worse than facebook or myspace back in its hay day.

    I for one welcome this thing, people never join chat rooms in game anymore.

    Yay more ways for people to creep on each other.
    Idk I do play PWI for some of the social aspects but imo this is going way to far. Its a video game not a dating service (and this is coming from someone who ironically met her irl husband on pwi...the difference for me is I wasn't looking for it. PWI isn't 18+ so I think this is a bit inappropriate)

    I was hoping when they said they were introducing a networking system it was gonna be more of a group finder like other mmos have. (Yes I know pwi has wc but its still a pain for newer players and low lvls)

    To each their own I guess tho. As long as its not required I guess it doesn't phase me yet until I see the added new WC drama

    Well my newly played Sin called Pantys is going to get stalked like hell D: I just had to use that Name.

    I guess it has a few pro's and con's alot of lower lvl people dont have friends and i guess its easier for them to get help.
    (that sounded so rude haha, didn't mean it like that)

    though if i get a creepy message from somebody ill gladly sit there and be like uh no go aways..

    If everyone treats this like grown-ups, it wouldn't be too bad. The problem is that PWI is opening themselves up to a lot of legal issues by having no form of age verification for each account.

    I will say that I recently had someone I met in game hop on a plane and come visit me for a week. It was very pleasant, and this is no different than meeting someone online in any other way.

    Actually our species seems to have become so frightened of one another that you're going to have the same problems no matter what you do. It's becoming ingrained in us to hate each other, distrust each other, and think each other guilty until proven innocent. That's regardless of meeting online or in person.

    Wheee, Kitty's going to log in right when servers are back up and do the match thing first. Then most ppl logging in soon after the maintenance see Kitty as one of the matches and Kitty can stalk even more efficiently. f:grin

    I'm quite sure a lot of people will use it to troll others.
    I find it silly but I also think it's a possible way to meet new people.

    There will be people to use it to troll, people using it seriously and people using it just to find a friend -shrugs- Just don't use it and ignore it.

    I just want to add to my first post in this thread, that I find the idea of getting some help to find friends in game a good thing, it is the find a lover option that I dislike. I think it would be a nice system without that option.
