Is this possible yet? I mean, I know its not even supported for mac yet, but I know people who HAVE mac and play it, so can it be done on the Iphone? Any ideas?

    Due to the sheer size of the game, I doubt this is possible. b:victory

    There are many reasons why this wouldn't work, but the best one I can think of off the top of my head is that Perfect World requires a Windows OS, which the iPhone doesn't have.

    Actually no. For one, the current gaming community still does and always has considered laptops, even the so-called "gaming laptops" to be bad for actual gaming. For two, currently most laptops are used by workers to ... work.

    And actually, playing a game like PWI only on a laptop kinda sucks, touchpad is really a bad way of maneuvering in a game. I know, I've done it, and I cannot stand it, so I carry around a mouse and a mousepad.

    Not a question of memory, more so about processing power. Just because the phone has a large amount of memory does not mean that it's somehow capable of doing stuff like that.

    Even assuming that the phone could run it, it would be extremely laggy even on the lowest settings due to the far higher specs on any PC capable of running the game smoothly and the battery would die at an extremely high rate, making it pointless.

    Oh, and not to mention that playing the game off that tiny 3.5 inch screen would be pretty much impossible. Also, the resolution of the iPhone, 320x480, is much smaller than the smallest setting that PWI runs on, that being 640x480, so you would end up with an extremely distorted picture, making it even more unplayable.
    If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

    Everyone wants to be different, but when you're different you wish you were normal.
