It's been nearly two years since I quit Perfect World International. Seeing the story page, it seems like there's been 3 expansions. I'm kinda too scared to play Perfect World again, all these new things seem intimidating. Can anyone fill me in on the new stuff and anything new/things that have changed since about a year and a half ago?

There's 2 new races, 4 new classes, a host of new problems, new improvements, a community that has turned to Power Leveling, and an absolute minimum of GM involvement in the game.
If you haven't logged in in 2 years, your character most likely has been deleted. I'd suggest you try playing, but... There are better games to play. b:surrender101 Sage Sin*/Archer

Can you clarify the problems and why the community has turned to power-leveling?0

Most of the problems involve class balancing, TW, and unfixed bugs.
Assassins, BM's, Barbs, and Archers can attain 4.0 or 5.0 APS, Barbs and Archers using Claws/Fists, and become ridiculously overpowered. Thus, once you hit endgame, in order to farm instances, nobody really wants the other classes around anymore for anything but buffs or as filler.
Psychics and Assassins, as well as Seekers, have become ridiculously overpowered in TW and group PK. One Seeker can run basically through the other team's entire formation and AOE large numbers of them in one shot.
Rank 9 was introduced into Dragon Points, and then the Devs in China said 'NO! Take them out!' after a large number of people bought the rep/chips required for the weapon/armor, and farmed the Medals via the DP page. Now, there's a number of people getting close to endgame who have the Rep and Chips, but no Medals, and there possibly will never be a way to get them again other than from TW (one per server per week is complete fail).
Some improvements are Genies... They make things easier. 4 usable skills (or more), though they tend to be very limited skills.
Oh, power leveling. The Devs/GM's have made it ridiculously easy to do, and so people will advertise Frost runs for low level players at 300-800k a pop, so you can get from level 1 to level 60 basically in one day.101 Sage Sin*/Archer

b:laugh That made me ****ing giggle.
Seriously tho? Give it a go. the balence issues are only a problem if you let them be, Rank9 is the same, powerlevelling is optional.
I will however grant the 5aps part. That is not possible to bypass and its ****. Mage / non5aps classes (Clerics excluded) get jack **** to do at endgame "cos not 5aps". However, roll a BM and earn your 5aps and you wont care

APS Mean Attacks per second
So think just of somebody hitting you 5 times in 1 second and you can't do anything about itRetired on Barb-

5 attack per second. Basically this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CUMEb5lNIU
Bad example since if you watch the video and have/know people with 5.0, you can tell easily that he wasn't at 5 in the vid.

Im 5.0 BM It is very overpowered, Expeccally after i Got my Nirvana claws +10. I Dont need squads for TT. I have Few a set group of people i farm nirvana with all 5.0 No cleric. Yes the veno is 5.0 . We can clear it in about 7-8 min.
The new class assassins are oped in pk. R9 daggers that can almst 1 shot a 20k Hp BM.ends it right there.
All other classes that cant be 4.0aps+ are normally not wanted, as said.
Seekers can not were any weapon that is not a sword so they are great for TW There +30deff lvl buff makes them brutal but getting squads for them is also hard. barbs are no longer barbs, they do not tank unless 5.0.
Btw nirvana is a new instance that 100+ Can profit from u get 3 keys a day +1 if u do BH 100.
Also 5.0 is easy 2 acheave after 3.33. if u roll a BM u will need. Interval cape, -.1 int claws, Stg 2 Nirvana legs, 2 TT99 Gold Heavy armor. 2 TT99 Gold Light armor. Thats 5.0 demon spark. GL Hope u enjoy.

Absolutely none, to the big dismay of PWI gamers worldwide (Can you hear the QQ?). That said, only one or two really reached lv 105 so far (unless there are more). A ton of lv 100s, but beyond 104... not so many.
Oh and do not forget to not double or triple post. Put all of your questions/responses in one post, when you can... quotes are made for that.
Take care, enjoy the game and its new content (if you play casually that is).Maintenance time. Please choose a line:
- When is it over? OMG I need my fix!! *super spazzing*
- Fix the damn bugs, dammit! I'm so angry! I'll quit!!
- New codes out there? I like free stuff~ *wink*
- When will we get new content? QQ
- Will we get sales? I got a ton of gold to spend.
- I'm bored, I'll create a useless thread to annoy Opkorock.
- *Incessant poking on Sweetiebot* Fun~0 -

speaking as a veno... what's the effing point, by then? yeah, 5aps, i can see you might think it's fun to be that OP --- but why bother to roll that on a veno? much easier and cheaper to do it on a 'sin or BM, surely?
if venos could get bloodpaint, that might be an argument, but we can't even do that. :-/[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] Heaven's Tear alts: KenLubin, Sou_Hon, JudyCaraco --- level 5x chars.0 -

there are five or six level-105s already, according to the rankings page --- and considering how out of date that page is, i think we can assume a dozen or so now.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] Heaven's Tear alts: KenLubin, Sou_Hon, JudyCaraco --- level 5x chars.0
