Some screenshots

Also, a gameplay trailer has been released:

Heh, I love how they claim "exclusive", since I've seen it on other U.S./english sites (like Cinderboy's), as well as my blog. But, hey. if it makes tham happy to be "first to press", then so be it. b:chuckle

The more that know= that much more momentum going forward. Gotta say, it's looking better and better, the more we see of it. After watching the trailer(s), it occurs to me I need to start assembling a setup that meets/exceeds "recommended" settings, it's just "too purty" to run on minimal specs.

I really wish there was a higher resolution version available, but that's my own impatience talking. I have been a "MMO drifter" for many a year, now, and have a growing sense of confidence that Forsaken World shall be my final resting place.

I want to try the Blood Controller (Vampire) class out if this ends up hitting stateside. They appear to be a warrior/mage, which is my favorite type to play in regular games. This looks like it'll take on more of a classic fantasy theme and has a darker overall appearance than PW. It'll have to be one hell of a good game to make me leave what I've constructed so far in this one.

Good to see more people have become interested in Forsaken World b:pleased
Nice to meet you all and I hope you will give the a game a chance. There isn't that much information so far, but what I see, I really like.

Thanks for the 'props', Vahrna. b:pleased I'm doing all I can, but it isn't easy, whereas my Chinese Language skills are on a "Ni-Hao, Kai-Lan" level, and Google translate is "vague", at best. b:laugh


Also, please check your PM inbox.

Great find, Asfer! Stats (at time of my vote) Soul Master : 23 Last Online : 93 Battle of the Immortals : 29 Forsaken World : 42 Monster Forest : 95 Pop Tag! : 8 Dungeon Bandits : 3 KillSkill : 6 Astonishia Online : 22 Project 9 : 23

I would encourage all readers to go out and vote (honestly). As for me, it's "PWE FTW!"

Some of you may have seen it already, but this seems to be a map of the starting continent, Oeste for Forsaken World. Seems pretty vast .

Yeah, trying to co-ordinate that with the new "7 key areas" post in the Official (Chinese) News forum.

I can only sit back,, and laugh, because all our 'theorycrafting' is gonna stand, (or fall) on the US/EU release, in which *so very much* may change, in translation.

Big Find:

This is from the chinese Youtube (Tudou)
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/6McKIQ-bhRs

It shows people playing the CB for Forsaken World in an internet cafe.

Wow! Great find, Asfer!
Mind if I credit you in the blog, (because this is definitely "add worthy") ?

Of course not autumnaldusk.

I have some big news! I would love to expand this thread in to so much more. So that is why I'm making my own blog. More details coming soon.

Outstanding! The more, the merrier! I, for one, believe there should be as many fan blogs as possible, and no one individual should try to set themselves up as "The Chairman Mao of Forsaken world blogs". So, If your past forum posts are any indication, I expect great things from your blog!

Best wishes, and "Blog on!"

As more news are getting released, I'm getting more and more excited.
mmosite is, as always, behind with their information, as they have just released an article on soul pk. I hope official news from Perfect World will be given to us during March.

Yes, I believe it will. There have even been *hints* in the Chinese forums that announcements *may* coincide with, and as early as, February 14th which is both Valentine's Day, and the beginning of the Chinese New Year (Year of the Metal Tiger).
Considering FW is only just now getting ready for Beta, in China, and with PWE's other betas underway, all we can do it "wait". b:sad Once the floodgates of info open from PWE, then things will hit high gear, and there will be no looking back.

However, as stated in a new blog post, at this time I think *any* coverage is good, since for many, Forsaken World is still just a vague concept. Soon enough, all the gaming world will know Forsaken World.

Take heart in the idea that we, who stood in readiness, well before the storm hit, were best prepared for the deluge.

Of course you are right that we have to be thankful for any sort of coverage, as Forsaken World is still unknown to many. But still, mmosite isn't exactly the place I would go for professional marketing/articles . Though of course you are right, as long as they spread the word of Forsaken World, they have my blessings. And believe me, I'm more than prepared b:laugh

Forsaken World is marking the end of Perfect World... isn't so Perfect now eh?

I would not as much call it the end as I would call it "a new beginning" for both Perfect World Entertainment and the free to play industry. That is, if they can deliver on their promises. But still nice to see some people coming here that are interested .
