    What got you into playing PW for the first time?
    i was back in japan at the time.
    Japan started advertising perfect world somewhere 2006-2007 on TV and on internet which caught me. sadly didnt have a PC with a video card then, but i kept on following and eventually saw it reached the US. i had moved to the US so i was able to play it starting 2008
    AND What keeps you playing it?
    god knows what....

    I started playing after I ran away from a different game which was handled by a different company. Said company employees (at least the ones in charge of the aforementioned game) were probably under the influence of...something. Many things, probably. None of them beneficial.

    Anyway, I heard about this game from others who were also quitting the old one.

    So I registered, installed, played, and, in general, liked it. Now, I don't play often (as my character pic probably indicates), but hey, I'm lazy and I get sidetracked easily. Probably not a good excuse, though. Hehe.

    Started out with a Blademaster. For a while, it was fun. Unfortunately, I tried to play it like a pole-arm ninja, that didn't go over so well. Fast-forward like six months later, I started up a Barb. I'd like to think I played the class decently. Though, as you can see, for not very long. Joined a strong guild with good leadership, got kicked due to inactivity. Honestly, I had it coming. Heh.

    A year or so after that, I rejoined the game and started up a Assassin. It was a bit painful at the start, but it got fun pretty fast. Currently, it's the highest level out of all my characters, but that's not saying much. Started a Mystic a few days ago. I'm liking it so far.

    So yep. That's my story. As for what keeps me playing: nothing, really. I drift from game to game. Except the ones I buy on Steam, because, you know, I paid for those. I guess I have a soft spot for this game, so I come back from time to time.

    I wonder If I got off topic a bit... Oh well.

    I am the exact same way. I always get asked by my in-game friends about the fact that I joined early after it came out... and yet my highest toon is only level 80.

    Two things: I play in spurts and on alts. I have 12 alts atm, and am bound to roll up more, because when I get bored with my currents toons, I create a new one. It's fun to see what looks and builds I can play around with.

    As for the other thing... yeah, I'm an infrequent player, too. I'll splurge for a week or two, then disappear for months at a time. I'll play other games, read, write, and just do real life things. Then, I'll miss PW and come back for another couple weeks.

    It works for me, and I don't care that other people might look down on me just because my portrait isn't in the triple digits. I play how I like, when I like, and that's enough for me. b:victory

    extreme boredom when I could not get a job after the stock market crashed in 08.

    found this...

    at the time gold was 100k, the best place to make money was TT, yellow WC spam was LF zhen at theives, forming TTx-x and high level squad running your fb 19-69 your drops (59+ your wine), 70 was considered high level, the most OP thing in the cashshop was nix, 5aps didnt exist, barbs were the preferred tank, people ran instances at level, and the biggest QQ was....well...nix

    good times

    This, word for word.

    'specially about the jobless part.
    Some people risk to employ me

    Some people live to destroy me

    Either way they die

    oh wow, you asking me to think back a looooong time. For me, it was the detail level in the game. The more friendly and helpful player base was nice too. Wasn't a whole lot of games outside the asian market who offered such detailed characters back when I started. Most were like ultima or cartoonish like ********. This one had really nice graphics and used to run very nice even on not-high end pcs.
