    Imo the arts from those pages did not show any similarity to the game we're playing right now other than the purple fox. It's bad news if they're focusing on that new game, they might not spend much time developing new stuffs for current version of Perfect World. Too early to tell though, it's still in concept art, not actual 3d rendered or screenshot from the game.

    Already a good chance of them ingoring PWI anyways; if I remember right, when PWE did their stockholders meeting about a year and a half ago they counted PWI as being monetized in 5 years from start to finish. And considering we're about to hit the 6th year, it's not as if they'd have reason to really care. They got the amount of time they expected, everything after that is just extra.

    At that point they'll wait to see whether there is any money left to drain out of it. If not, they scrap it and focus on other efforts.

    Really good posts like this in this thread make me really question whether or not I should bother saving up for the pet I dreamed of as a little veno ie harpy. OTL despite that when I look at the pages linked personally it just looks like an upcoming update.

    I have talked to a Chinese friend of mine in game (who came from playing Chinese server) about this topic and he told me that they're just making a new game that's based on some novel and it has nothing to do with us.

    EDIT: I showed him the 2nd link where it has article on it, now he says it's actually related to us xDD some big changes with expanding map, new classes, too many things but it'll still take months/years to finish anyway.
    I asked if this is going to be a complete new separate game or just a huge update for ours, and he says not sure yet.

    He could be referring to Legend Of The Condor Heroes: ZERO Online, which is another game by Perfect World Beijing being developed in China based on Louis Cha's novel like Swordsman. Perfect World <-- I don't remember this game being an MMO based on a certain novel other than Jade Dynasty, Legend of martial arts, ether saga, etc.

    new classes b:pleased
    gimme more!

    Google Translate says new classes could be;

    Swordsman(really? we already have BMs. Seekers can only use swords, I don't see a point in this class)/Monk (makes sense)

    and

    Killer (sounds similiar to Assassin but I think they will translate it something like "Reaper")/Conjurer(no idea about this one, another glass canon or what?).

    Can't wait for more information!

    would be nice to pull the plug on this version,we need something new.Our current game is like stuffing a old pillow with more feathers with a hole on the otherside.


    But warning this game has a lot of foreign players(people out of the usa)and I predict a lot of mass suicides and riots.

    Since last year's "Perfect World" announced "archosaurs studio" after the handover, the players on the "Perfect World 2" R & D is looking forward to, after a year of silence, "Perfect World" really at the end of the dawn began to action. 17,173 reporters after a multi inquire, and finally get some harvest, get a lot of set chart and everyone tasting.

    Who set the exposure maps and game styles differ greatly in the past, and so much the number, is not that the game will have drastic change? Which appeared in Lolita and image is too, it is difficult to say whether there will be major changes in the race and career, perhaps "Perfect World 2" really want to come.
    This is not talking about a new version of PWI from scratch. It IS talking about "Perfect World 2", which IS OUR VERSION of Perfect World, PWI.

    It also mentioned Archosaurs Studio. Perhaps they have been working on a real re-working of PWI? Or a real expansion, as this last bit hardly qualifies in the eyes of most people.

    It wouldn't be that hard for them to crank out a PWI 2 in a matter of a year using the already existing game mechanics of swordsman online.

    Swordsman online is angelica 3- which is already an upgrade to PWI's game engine.

    They have 10 classes, 2 of which are gender locked (the 5 vemons uses a whip, the shai uses a large weapon) and if you studied each school they already resemble PWI type classes in game play.

    Marriages, cuddles (added more player vs player interactions) shared mounts.(same sex can hold hands and share mounts now too)

    The world art is already Asian based, so with a little work on animations, and races they could have a completely new PWI version.

    Most of PWI's "new content" was test content for building swordsman.

    Except one is pure fantasy, different world with imaginary creation gods, while the other is inspired from a rl novel depicting a romanticized version of ancient China.
    Also, one has races based on descendants from said creation god while the other has a single race of humans.
    Another thing, they are based off mechanics extremely different from one another (rock-paper-scissors vs. fantasy based attack from anywhere pew pew I can teleport through walls and I can attack through them as well).
    Lastly, the classes are based off martial arts in one while the other has classes based on ermmm probably made out fantasy (except venomancers and barbarians, I'd say, since those have lore in ancient Chinese myth).
    Other than that, same thing.

    I never claimed they were identical. However they can use what is already there as the base with MINOR changes to skill FX, races, story line, the martial arts in the game, while claiming to be martial arts, still play with melee/caster style...its not like you just bang bang kun-foo the whole time.

    While one is fantasy and the other not, swordsman is still "magical" in mechanics, and defy all physics, that would be required to keep PWI fantasy where it is aligned.

    The rock paper scissors is actually closer to pwi then you think. while PWI uses magic/physical as base attributes, swordsman just rewords it and uses endo/exo same effect in defenses and attacks, they also use the elemental tree used in PWI -poison, fire,ice, earth etc,

    Swordsman carries the same group dynamics too, tank/dps/healer (the male gender lock is the tank even, imagine that)

    So yea, they could easily turn swordsman into PWI 2....

    Well...as far as Swordsman goes one can predict that we will see a major graphical overhaul for PWI, thats all. Many stated before that the chinese sources are referring to this as Perfect World 2 which is our version of the game.

    All they have to dois exchange the textures and update the engine. Look at Swordsman. It looks nearly identical to PWI cept that it's way better looking. Even the whole art is kinda the same. Still, while Swordsman looks good and all it's still no match for other, existing MMOs out there. NEver the less I woul dlove to see PWI getting updated graphically and one can only hope that they try their best to eradicate most of the existing bugs on the same try xD

    Actually swrdsman has the highest rating than most all other MMOs on the graphical, and game physics level.

    Ragdoll features
    Real time texture flow on characters
    world physic/player interaction

    Are three features combined in one game, the top three most recent popular releases don't have together.

    He's right though in that you aren't hearing the same mainstream noise over Swordsman as you are with the other big MMOs include one soon to be released.

    Could have something to do with the reputation of the "publisher" involved, perhaps ? b:spit

    Heh, yes, is shame the PWE company has taken some of these nice titles, and game productions and turned them in to money sinks P2W extremes, now anything with a PWE tag on it, get totally ignored in reviews, and game discussions.
