Hi! I'd like to introduce myself and have some Questions!

welcome to the best game i seen sofar, i play it since a week, found it while searching the net. Played WOW and guildwars more then 2 years, and this is absolute best, more friendly, more relaxed, huge graphics quality, and all stuff is well thought of.
I started with a Venomancer and am allready lvl 23 now, and made some friends allready.
My advice is go relaxed in beginning and do all there is to do, and figure it all out for example the 4 crafting skills, so later you dont have to go back to lower lvls to upgrade so you can craft gear and weps you can use.
Flying is cool as a winged elf, but as you see, lvl 30 will be soon for me, and this way i have been around places and citys first instead of flying all over in straight lines. You also can farm lots of mats on the ground, do this also to be able to craft.
I like Veno a lot sofar, and i hope we are also valued as much later in game for instances, this i dont know yet . Offcourse being a tank or healer will make you more wanted later on.
It is also very special being embraced and lifted up in the air by another player. And i also seen some spectacular huge mounts, eagles, swans, lions, horses, etc besides the also spectacular regular ones.
If your graphics card can handle it go for all max settings and make perfect screenshots, best ever. Have fun.

@ Mule - There is an action by which you can fall down and lie as if you were dead. Easy to make out the difference - just look at the HP bar when you target them. Fake dead ones will have HP... real dead ones...not.

@Topic starter - Its a great game. Gets even better if you get into a good friendly guild.

To answer your question regarding servers, 3 servers

Heavens Tear - First server, PvE
Lost City - PvP Server
Sanctuary - Newest of all servers, PvE

Classes have been explained very well by Celiaz.

As to how easy it is to get started and get going, its two months since I started playing PW. With moderate amount of game time, I managed to get to 71. This I'm sure I cannot do it on most other MMOs. This game is not a complete grindfest like most MMOs out there. There are tons of quests to help you level in early game and multiple daily quests late game.

Hope this helps.

Hi jrole,

I've been playing since just before Christmas. I don't put much time into it... certainly not as much as I'd like. Too many other responsibilities with work and family...

Anyway, your PC will have no problem playing this game at relatively high settings... my PC is a 1.4 Gig Athlon with an old 128Mb Volari video card. It lags a bit in towns, but I'm actually pushing the limits of its capabilities... I could cut down on the visual quality if I wanted and I'd have no problems at all.

You'll make plenty of friends in the game simply by playing and being nice to people. New characters are easy enough to get started as well... even for an MMO newbie like myself.

Overall I'm impressed with the quality of people I've met in-game. For the most part everyone is friendly and helpful. There are always exceptions, but by and large that has been my experience.

Hope this helps.

Welcome!
Perfect World really is a great game.
There are tons of items, customizable items, and best of all friendly players.
For example, practically anyone you ask help to will probably help you with a smile (b:laugh) on their faces.

I myself have a Wizard, which I enjoy, however it might be a bit difficult if you don't have experience with mages from other MMORPG.

I'd think that the easiest class would be Venomancers (aka WF/WereFoxes). They can capture monsters (ala Pok

Erm, sorry to stumble in, but are the PvE servers 100% PvP-free or are there duel arenas/ a PvP map as well?

PVE are not 100% PvP free you can turn on PvP when you are level 30 but most people do not have this on.
