Fed up with the game my brother and I were playing, I did a lot of research looking for a different FREE MMORPG. I came across rave reviews for a game called Perfect World. I spent a day downloading and my brother and I installed the game.
Simply put, so far it is the best free MMORPG I've ever played, including games that were free because they were in beta. The graphics are pretty amazing. The character customization is more detailed than any other customization I've seen.
My brother and I chose to be Elf Archers on the Oracle server. Now I know if you're like me, killing rats with swords is not the type of world you wanna be in. This game, however, provides a lot of interesting features that make it fun. First of all, as an elf, you start out able to fly - and the flying is really easy to control and looks awesome. Also, the game is very quest driven, so instead of grinding on the same monster watching your XP bar slowly go up, you can load up up to 20 missions at a time, complete tasks, and get great xp rewards for it.
The skill system so far is really cool and it seems like there's a lot of customizable upgrade type things. Since leveling is quest based, my brother and I are flying through levels together (we started last night and are now both almost level 14). Starting at level 30 you can PvP, and it seems to be a lot like Vector MxO. Also, you can form guilds and take over territories. Everywhere I've been so far when I enter it tells me the name of the place and "Currently controlled by ReBorn".
Seriously, even if you don't like the "elf/ogre" type of games, try this out. I'd love to get enough of you interested to start the faction up in this game. I highly recommend going elf (my brother and I were talking about how the other races simply can't be as cool...there's no way), and that a way we can come power level you (easy to do since it is a quest system). I'm hoping this can be a good game to keep us occupied until The Agency. We'll have to see how the later levels are, though.
The ONLY downside to the game I've run into so far is it's an import from Chinese, so a lot of the English is broken English and makes some of the newbie instructions hard to understand.
Here's the link: http://www.perfectworld.com.my/
Sever is Oracle
Race is Elf Archer (Priests start out in the same place, though)
My name is xTbonex. My brother is Zero722.
Even if you think the game looks lame from the website or something, bite the bullet and download it. You won't be sorry.
-
Going to do it as soon as I get done patching.
-
Downloading now, sounds like a great game so far. i'm really excited to give it a try!
-
DLing now. FREE is good.
-
This game is soooo addicting. The world is huge. My brother and I have been flying around and running into these floating cities and whatnot. It's crazy! I haven't done anything solo, so I don't know how soloing is, but teaming up on these quests is fun!
-
The DL is friggin' enormous! A lot of content or something?
-
Can the keyboard controls be changed?
-
thats what im still tryin to figure out...im gettin used to it but the controls could be much better
-
Controls are very easy for me. You can choose WASD or point and click. All the binds are on the left hand too, so it frees up the right to stay on the mouse most of the time. Who the hell uses the arrow keys to move anymore??? WASD is where it's at!
-
Oh, and I'm almost level 30 and I've formed FA. I'm surprised more of you haven't at least tried it out. I guess we've lost a lot of you to console gaming recently...
-
I tried it, however the controls and the overall layout of the missions and the interaction and finding NPC is just a little .. downgraded from what im used too. *shrugs*
-
free is free
-
Really? Their quest system is twice as good as MxO's. At least they send you into new areas to kill/collect, as opposed to doing the same mission over and over again in the same three buildings.
And yeah, it's free. I'm about to hit level 30 and apparently PvP is VERY prominent. There are territories to take over and you can get ganked. Just seemed like a good environment for us to work on our teamwork skills and whatnot. It just feels like everyone is playing a different game nowadays.
-
My DL was screwed or something. I'm going to re-download it.
-
oh i agree T. I will play regardless, its just soloing im kinda confused.
-
Downloaded last night. Patching now.
-
downloaded it before the crash... will be getting it with the other stuff again
-
Hmmm I'll Download this and leave it on my Desktop till i get enough money for my Laptop. 1/3 of the money is saved up already.
-

Loved the movie, but never watched the TV series.
-
The TV series was wank until the Ancients were introduced.

I played this game a long time :o

It's so funny that you would mention this. I've been keeping up with this game since it released in china (I have a few friends overseas). I tried downloading it before, but the files were never compatable with my old system, but now that I have a new computer I have to give it another try, thanks for reminding me!
Another Free MMO you guys should check out is Atlantica Online. It's a turnbased random-ish encounter with some really great reveiws. Another one I wanted to try when I got this new system, but forgot all about.
Also, a side note about Perfect World for those of you who are still somehow hesitant. Once you get your character to a certain level, the developers will legitimately buy your character from you for $20! They garuntee that once you get your character that leveled up, you'll be so attached to them and addicted to the game that you wont want to cash them in. So you not only have nothing to lose by playing this game, you actually have something to potentially gain as well! (At least that's the way it was for beta, they may have discontinued that...)
