Ok, so I found PW thru a friend and was directed to the Malaysian Oracle server. Naturally a day after I started, I stumble across this new International version and was wondering if someone could give a realistic unbiased opinion here regarding the long-term playability of this game .
1. Is it easy to get to certain lvl via quests but then quests stop and cash shop is necessary to continue? I know the F2P model is based on the fact that you have a cash shop to support the bills to run the game and pay the Gm's thier salaries, however, I made M11 (lvl 123) in 12Sky, another F2P game, with virtually no investment. Incidentally, I was neither the richest player, highest lvl, nor the best equipped one, and am a Guild Master and the Leader of my Faction (race). In other words...do you have to shell out tons of cash to be successful in this game?
2. Will the International version of this game will be different? Reason I'm asking is the toon is lvl 6 and wondering should I stay there or start over again on the International version.
Thx

    You can pretty much do 1-40 consistently with quests with maybe a total of 4 hours 'grind time'.
    40-52 you can also do quests for some exp but you need to grind more.
    52->60 is mostly all grinding but you got quests you could do if you cant get a party (check my noob faq on 1perfectworld.com or somewhere buried in this forum)
    60+ is aoe or solo.
    do you have to shell out tons of cash to be successful in this game?
    Yes and no... If you make a WF, you can get rich quick. If you get special drops from instances you can sell those. You can also sell other items and make a quick profit.
    If you craft its basically gambling.

    The hands down EASIEST and cheapest way to be successful is to be a guild leader and own territories as you get gold every week for owning a place (or more).
    The other way is to spend cash.


    All in all, just play the INT version. The MY version has these:
    No gms
    No support
    **** economy
    Botters
    Farmers
    Corrupt company hosting it
    Chinese

    The int has this:
    Active GMs (from the forum anyways)
    More updates
    Less ****
    No or close to zero chinese/botters/farmers

    1perfectworld.com , the best resource for everything Perfect World.
    We got quest guides, cultivation guides, noob guides. If it can be a guide, its there.
    We also got free guild forums :D
    Now with flame forums and trading for CB/OB

    wrong werefox cost alot more than you think , unless your a bot going to near all those lakes, and to peach dock to make all class huggy bunny's from lets say 2 or more pet eggs of them, etc.

    realy good leveling indeed, i will open one, BUT, at level 40 oyu stumble across a major difficult, (so is level 30), you will have to level 3 pets at once, i recommend molten lava crystal/Fiery Lava Rime [same stats but diffrent skills, choose wich you like best], Petite Sawfly, and some sea pet, as you will have more and more varieted quests of it, so i recommend you stop grinding high mobs at level close to 40 (if you got no quest), and go level your pets [if its lower level than just put it on STOP and Manual controled (Ctrl +1 to attack), and grind on the mobs lets say 10 levels lower than you, best way, cause i leveled my sawfly from 8 or 7 to level 44 in a day or 2, than i started doing quests.


    werefox is the ultimate solo master, as it has both MANA and HP switch, and recovring of it, not requiring any pots of hp or mana [mana if your the heavy fox, in animal form, if your the magic fox i dont recommend even upgrading the skills of fox form, only werefox (human) skills.] and so after this long boring speech that you didnt even read, i finish ;)




    EDIT: this guy doesnt know what aoe is -.-

    i think quest are oke until lvl 40, but after that they dont give you as mush as before. So i think best choice to lvl up is to go with your guild or just a random party to dungeons. It can give you exp and items. The only issue is that you will need a player who needs to kill the boss in the chosen dungeon, othervise you won't be able to activate the dungeon. I know it's confusing, but it's easy and you will get it as soon as you get to the game :)

    you can just do a dungeon, but you wont get have quests for it, but you could do them if you wanted.

    up to lvl 60 quests are the best to lvl, from 40 - 60 it shifts a bit more to occasional grinding, but only after 60 youll have to rely on other methods then quests.

    Both games will have advantages and disadvantages. So far there is a lot more investment in the international I don't think that is going to change.

    For money (ie Item Mall Stuff) yes you can do with out it, but it can slow you down, and you do lose some enjoyment of the game. If you are good at makingin game money you can get things that way. The MY servers are cheeper if you are going to spend real cash, but you do deal with lag, GM's that don't seem to care, and the development team that does not care.

    When looking at cheats and bots that is going to happen in any game the only difference is how the manufacuter responds to them, so far the internation version seems like they will be delt with quickly and harshly, but only time will tell.


    Good luck and happy Gaming.
