Some obvious reasons why I think PW is very good.

venusla · January 2009

I will be honest here, I am only a lvl 30 warrior here in PW, and haven't played PW for about since last year October because I have been busy in real life. Also, I was a bit tired of tracking 6-10 quests at same time that I never had chance to party others without having to worry about quest. But quest is really the personal preference, there would be always person like me loving to party all the time without having to worry about quest, and there always would be people that love to solo and do quest one by one and finish them all.

Anyways, my point is Perfect World appears to be one of the best free mmorpg and here are number of obvious reasons why I think that way.

PW doesn't have hackers, auto-botters, relativly low number of griefers, system abusers (compare to other games) and any potential system that could make the whole game goes inbalanced. In fact, these kind of things are really "of course there should be no hackers and abusers" but a lot of games actually have those hackers, botters, abusers and griefers. You don't get to realize how serious these can affect the game unless you actually see it for yourself.

I know it is against rule to mention about other mmorpg here, but I will just mention one game to support Perfect World. I have been playing (edit: another MMORG). It is 20 dollars to play in korea and it is currently released in korea only at this moment. The game had amazing graphic and reached 200k concurrency only after 5 days it was officially opened.
Unfortunately, the game soon became full of botters, abusers and griefers that I just couldn't have any fun and lost the purpose of why I play this game. imagine you go log in and start to hunt, and all other people are KSing your mobs and realizing that they are autobotters, then you get to see full of pkers comming to you to kill you every 10 minutes. I just couldn't stand it with all the chaos because I don't appreciate that kind of extreme drama because I am just a casual player and i only play games just to chill and reduce my stress from real life. Players are forced to PK others because they have to kill others to earn points to buy nice amors and weapons. so you have to go lvl up quick, and then go seek for those low level newbies to kill them. some people even made an alternative character and kept killing it over and over again to gain the points. They just lost the purpose of "why I play this game".

I happened to come here and read some forum posts. The forum looks healthy so far. That means the game is not having any serious problems that could make the whole game experience corrupted. Of course there is always no perfect game and it can't make everyone happy. But I think PW is keeping its bottom line very well. Unfortunately, there are a lot of games that doesn't keep its bottom line and gets very chaotic.

Good games always have healthy community.

If you asked me if I want to come back to PW, well I won't play PW because I am really "party-play" type of a gamer and hate to do quests. Nevertheless, I would like to give PW a lot of credit for being excellent. I am not playing PW not because it is bad but it is just not my style. Unless you are a extreme quest hater, I bet you will enjoy this game.

everyone is complaining that at higher levels there are no quests
you dont even have to do the quests you can just grind

well i play euro version of PW for almost 7 week now but because of many technical issue there I switch here and find service to be very superb. community is also of superb quality and I enjoy the read of all the busy forum pages here whilst I kill time in boring lecture b:chuckle

PWI is professeional in way the game is run but i be honest and tell you that what excite me most is new game that this company launches in 3 weeks called Esther Sagas Online. You can see more info about it on their games portals section so if you think that PW is not right game for you to return to perhaps E.S.O. will be somthing for you to try again?

Yeah, you are completely right about that PWE is running the game in the best way, nice support, nice forums and good web/game systems, nice events and very pleasent game translation, thats mostly why i dont want and WONT switch to any other version, because i like the company behind it

and i will continue to pay to it since i find that they deserve it b:pleased

I like the way the game's run. Although I don't see much GM activity, the general population keeps it in order. The forums are active and helpful, the gameplay is populated and busy and various ingame things (like monitoring economy) help keep out and prevent abuse and the ruination of the game. Kudos to the CS as well, for bein' quite certainly as a CS should be, I think.

PW doesn't have hackers, auto-botters

Argueable.
I have already spotted 2 high-level botters and reported both (one disapeared from the game though).

Sulphor - Sanctuary · January 2009

2?..High lvl?
Last game I played, the started area for new players is unbelievably spammed w/ botters (we're talkin', chatbox ****: literally impossible to see any other text until you're out of range of the speech) and there were several of them, to each channel on each server.

And then plenty of hackers too, to pour literally hundreds of billions of coin into the economy. You spotted 2? Let's call that a win, for now, next to other games w/ dozens from the word 'Go' and only more as you advance...

Trenith - Heavens Tear · January 2009

Botters, go to the untamed parts of the map. I bet you see abunch of botters there. Venos... Heavily botted and then the coin is sold online, just like any other game.

Yes there are high level players that bot as well.... But you will commonly only find low lvl botters for gold farming...

devlinne · January 2009

For me the report **** button is the thing that makes this game good.

My last mmorpg, damn...i was at the TOP of my game,but 4 years of fighting hackers,i can't stand it anymore.......the thing that made me quit previously was (in pwi terms) My TERRITORY was taken over by a hacker guilds using obvious **** and the admins didn't do JACK.

Keep up the good work PWI. Ya'll impress me. I'll stay here(with my credit card^_^) as long as ya keep it **** free:)

Ye i like it also a lot, been playing now since 2 weeks, its awesome.
The only thing i think cud be better is the way the dungeons are designed, or does this go better once higher up? I mean the fb19 is a laugh in terms of detail and fantasy (and why cant i see where i am goin on the map when inside a FB ?)
Also i dont see many places to go underground, like caves, or towers to climb , not many (or any at all) buildings to go into ?
Like some central hall in Arch, with some big king or queen or Lord on his throne, where sometimes you go for audience or rewards ?
Also there shud be a better reward system for also encouraging lower lvls to do FB around their own lvl, like enhanced gear/wep drops from the bosses, but only for that lvl people, so there is a diffrence for the CTD and FB ?
But for all rest, i luv this game, graphics are imba, and overall world is really friendly, doing a Bunjee Jump of Heavens Tear skytower, while at the last second equip the flyer lol.b:laugh
Great Game, and indeed, not much bots and gold sellers/beggers etc..and people seem to be more friendly in general.

Yes, it is a great game. I can especially say that coming from places with an unbelievable amount of spammers and botters, along with class imbalance that they kept making worse by holding off skills. I've dealt with a glitchy quest system that could mix up your rewards when turning quests in (i.e. instead of 10k exp, you get 400exp from another quest but the 10k quest still vanishes.) I've seen GM favoritism. I've seen GM incompetence. So far, I fail to run across any of that here.

But too many quests? LOL. Omg, get to the higher levels! I got 3 quests this level and they gave me only 20%. Lasted me less than 20 minutes of entertainment too. Now it's all grinding and to think it only gets worse as I level. You're at the point where it's a free ride. Don't use the abundance of quests at level 30 (ROFLMAO!) to judge the higher levels, let alone end-game, experience. The only quests you have to do are the Spiritual Cultivation ones. Which come with a handy note and orange lettering in the quest window. Downright impossible to mix up with normal quests.

Some obvious reasons why I think PW is very good.
