    This game is absolutely free, its a F2P.

    No limits, you can do anything and everything on this game can offer, for free.

    As for charging money, thats optional, its there in case you want any goodies in the Boutique. That takes real money.

    (your not supposed to mention WoW or any other game in here o.o, just a quickie)

    In PvP in Perfect World, from level 30 you can kill everyone, and during your time fighting, your name changes colour from white to red.
    Having a red name means if you try to enter a city with guards outside, those guards can kill you.
    If you stop killing stuff, your name slowly goes back to white.

    There are two PvP servers where you are permanently in pvp from level 30 upwards, Lost City and Harshlands, If you want an option to go into pvp, head to a pve server like Dreamweaver, Raging Tide or Archosaur.
    In a pve server, pvp switches off after 10 hours log-in time, so if you wanna stop being in pvp after say, 4 hours, leave your character afk in a city or town (safe spots) overnight.

    You can attack anyone in world map if:

    1) you and your target are both in PvP mode, ie. have some other colored name than blue (in PvP server every level 30+ is forced to enter PvP, in PvE servers it's much more rare to see people on PvP mode)
    2) you are not in safe zone (towns are safe zones)

    If you are red name and get too close to guards, they will kill you. Cities only have guards at the front gates and they're easily avoidable. You make it sound like if you go red, you can't go in a city. That's not very honest. lol
    In a pve server, pvp switches off after 10 hours log-in time, so if you wanna stop being in pvp after say, 4 hours, leave your character afk in a city or town (safe spots) overnight.

    On a PvE server, most people will be blue name and protected. The only ones who really actively participate in PvP are usually the massive cash shoppers or those that have farmed amazing gear. You're more likely to get ganked by high levels with cash shop gear on a PvE server. On a PvP server, everyone after lvl 30 is open to PvP so the only way to hide is to stay in safe zone. There is more low and mid level PvP on a PvP server than there is on a PvE server. PvP on a PvP server is much more fair than PvP on a PvE server.

    If you like to PvP or end up staying on PWI till you hit 10x, you'll probably be better off on a PvP server. If the thought of dying or killing others is something you don't want to participate in, pick a PvE server.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    The simple answer most havent said yet, is this game is entirely free to play, no limits, but is considered "pay to win". Basically if you're a relaxed person who isnt striving to be the best, you can certainly enjoy the full game without restriction. But to get the best gear, to have a chance in PvP, and all that, you really need to spend real money.

    There are other options if you have alot of resources at your disposal & shady ethics, such as having a 2nd computer to leave online as a vender (cat shop) to buy low & sell high all day long (termed "merchanting"), which can make large sums of money if you really invest time in learning the market (like a stock market analyst would in the real world) and then you can buy the real money currency using game currency.

    If you do neither merchanting or real money spending, you'll find yourself on the low end of the totem pole PvP & gear wise.

    (There is a "3rd option", that is people who have been playing a loooooooong time can have also amassed enough to have better gear & the like, but without a time-machine, you wont be there for a long time.)

    Totally agree except for the part where you said about the second computer that would take just as long as the third point to due anyalysing numbers is tedious and easily boring but i agree with your last point :D
