Edit: It seems my post was combined with the other thread concerning the new skills in the expansion pack. The new skills are quoted here at page 85. The latest pages of this thread are screenies and random bits of information concerning the Chinese Test Server's official release of this expansion. That server is in the bug finding and testing stage, but it is open beta. The official CN servers get the patch sometime this month.

AS OF YET NO NEW RACE HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED/MENTIONED ANYWHERE OFFICIAL. THERE IS NO NEW RACE.

This patch is now live on China's Main Servers (not just test servers).


A new expansion was announced in CN today, titled "Perfect World: Underground" oooor "Perfect World: Legend of Night" (seen both on the website). Here is the backstory or blurb that was posted on the splash page for the new expansion. Not much else has been revealed inside yet. If anyone would like to translate feel free, my translate-fu is weak. And yes, this is official, posted on the CN site itself.
In the past, God created "Perfect World", with seawaters stretched the East-West horizons forming the [Location name] Sea. One day the blue skies stretched thousand-miles, a pulse of rain poured from God's hand materialised into [Location Name], "Perfect Land" completed. But no-one knew, this kind-hearted Creator, took the gentle breezes of [Location name] Village, the fertile soil of [Location Name] City, floating clouds of [Location name] City, the flowing waters of [Location name] Sea; fused them together forming an alternate world, bounded by layers of Seals.

Perfect World, bustled with life and energy. But prosperity leads decline; beyond the face of peace laid a deadly disaster waiting. The ten commanding Elders held a secret council at [Location] Tower. Because, there was seen an extraordinary ray of lunar light at the Western skies, below this light was the location of this new alternate world, [Untranslatable: "The Five Elements rebelled"?], released a weird, vicious breath. This breath; always attracted to the Evil Spirits in the Netherworld. This evil power multiplied day after day, soon the space-time twisted. The power of the Evil Spirits quickly consumed the soul of the Creator, the balance hung between mission* and betrayal; and before anyone can react, the whole Spirit world became consumed by this evil power.

* - translator's note: this "mission" is used in the context of "Life's Mission", as in someone's destiny, so to speak.

The Creator collapsed, the seal to the alternate world went with it; the gateway that linked the two worlds: [location] Village; collapsed into the ruins overnight. The Evil Spirits soon landed showing their terrible faces [<-- that's what the text said, although it doesn't appear to make sense in engrish]. The Creator soon became convinced that the Darkness is the real purpose of this world; personally destroyed the Perfect World he built himself. Under the rule of Darkness, the Demons regained their freedom, their armies given godly powers, eager to play a part in this world-destructing war.

Citizens of Perfect World did not even have the time to mourn the loss of the Creator to be presented with never before seen danger that befell on them. The enemy: The Creator itself, his Spirit Army, the unlimited darkness.

The horns of the ghosts blew, the Lord of Dark Worlds arrived commanding its army, for the war with death. Can they [The players] withstand this union of 5 armies? Curse, Collapse, Betrayal, Destiny. Light vs Evil, Man vs God, how will fate plan out? Unlimited Darkness? Or fight for a new Perfect world!

《Perfect World: Legends of the Night》. In continuation of the classic gaming; a new background story, fun side-missions, brilliant new equipments and stronger skills have been introduced! In addition to newly added items and inventories that will greatly enhance player's strength, also newly added is "ultra-kill" PK-mode; which will become key to final victory. Not only that, all ten class skills have also been greatly enhanced; these new upgrades will deal unprecedented power to enemies, new and old. And to top it all off - new side-stories that will greatly test players' team-work and skills; and finally a boss-rush that will develop lots of new playing strategy. More epic content will be included in 《Perfect World: Legends of the Night》!

Hope it is ok that I'm asking for a proper translation of Chinese text, not posting in Chinese.

    Seems like new dungeons and new gears etc - rather than a proper expansion (i.e. update the freaking old classes graphically etc.). Kind of like the 9-Trial kind of thing.

    Looks like, to me, most importantly - all classes are getting skill updates (barbs agro fix at last?) - wonder how it will effect everyone.

    hah that would rock, but they would set it so that it take 3x the mana to cast.

    Give us EPs a new skill... something to increase our p-def 1000% please.

    Make the EG's third eye worth something. How about an AOE detection buff to see all those 105 sins?

    BTW, anyone else see Warsoul packs coming out soon? lol

    I find funny how the tideborns in mermaid form have the "roll" animation with "X" outside of water, because you can't do It inside of the water, seens that they planed something for that form, but they gave up.

    I like to head to where small ones are grinding in the water (rare) and go Mermaid form... then 1-shot mobs around me by throwing water balls ... it is rather funny...

    We really need an upgrade, especially for the six original classes. I hope clerics get more attack skills.
