    About in-game money and real-life money: there is always stuff you can buy with in-game coins (even stuff worth tens of millions), and some of it is pretty useful (like molds for weapons). As for real-life money... you could use that too, but it's not really necessary. The real money gets turned into Gold in-game, and now there's a system that allows you to buy gold with coins. So, if you don't mind grinding, you can easily get Gold in-game. Of course, it's always easier to buy it directly, but it's not too difficult to get it like that, either.

    As for the skills, you get some points while leveling up (strength, magic etc.). You level up, you get it, you don't level up, you stay just like you are. There are some skills you can buy, but those are bought with in-game coins from what I've seen. I just took a peek at the boutique (where you spend rl money), and I don't see anything skill-like. Tons of charms and stuff that makes the game easier, but you can easily do without them.

    Short version, try the game for a few levels, and if you don't like it you can just stop playing it. ^^

    Perfect World is quite different from *removed* (and back when I played it, I don't think you could even get to 123. I made it to 27, then the grinding was far to bad already).

    As in all "real" free-to-play games, spending real money in Perfect World is completely optional, although you might need to resist some peer pressure, or grind a lot of game-money to buy cash currency.

    Character stat points in Perfect World are awarded at level ups. Skills work differently; you basically get two types of experience, "experience" and "spirit". In most cases, their relation is fixed --- you get 5 times the amount of experience, although there might be situations where this is not the case (I believe one of the "must do" quest chains only gives spirit). Either way, where there's experience there's spirit, and as long as you find something in the game that gives you experience you'll also raise your spirit.

    Experience determines your level as usual, spirit is more like money --- when you buy skills (or level one), you pay money AND spirit. Which also means there's no fixed amount of skillpoints to spend; AFAIK you can get enough spirit to max every skill, eventually. Still, higher level skills take a lot of spirit (and money), so you should probably work out some "plan" which skills to get first at some point --- but don't worry about that too much at the beginning, as early spirit requirements are "ridiculously" low, and the amounts you need for low level skills are literally "nothing" as you progress in the game, which means you aren't messing up your char by getting skills that you don't need later on.
    Slow progress, game is getting way too grindy :-( Quests I still hope to be able to do some day: FB39, General Feng
