Title: A new free to play WoW clone?
Post by: randomuser83 on July 16, 2008, 01:23:02 am
So I stumbled upon this link below today and it looks like Perfect World is making a US client.  Anyone played this game or know more about it?  I tried to play the Malaysian version and it was just too laggy for me to do anything past the char select screen.  I signed up for the beta so hopefully the lag issues will be fixed having the game be state-side.

Edit: link was messed up so had to revert to straight url

link is still messed up and this is a bad topic. Screens, info, opinions etc are needed. But chances are this is just another shit free MMORPG like the billions of others!

Yeah sorry about that, it's fixed now.  This is actually supposed to be better than the majority of free to play games we have seen lately.  But ah well, I know I will be trying it out at least.

I don't trust any game that is called "great fantastic".

It sounds like they're trying too hard.

Perfect World is a great fantastic 3D online game presented by Beijing Perfect World Co., Ltd.Starting from a Chinese traditional myth that Pangu (Chinese ancestor) built sky, land and human, the Perfect World brought players the concept of 3D online game with the theme creating world for the first time. Players will experience great fun of team work and creating world.Game creates a particularly historical space and brings players into an age-old, mysterious and undiscovered world with epic background and grandiose story contents.
I wouldn't want to play a game that is so poorly translated I can't even figure out what I'm supposed to be doing.

One of my mates is obsessed with this, he recently sold an account to someone in America for a pretty crazy amount of money ($400+ from memory).

But yeah, I've played a few of these free MMO's and they're all pretty shit from my experience so I'm not really swayed by yet another horrible translation and generic 'mythology oh shit' setting.

Is it click-to-move?
I can't play MMOs that are click-to-move.
This is the only thing important to me.

at OP:
goddamnit. wow didn't invent everything ok. my article friday is all about you!! >: (

at everyone else:
it's a barely above average MMORPG, really really popular in its homeland (afaik, does better than everything else there by far.). It's pretty so-so. The only features it really has that out shine it from other stuff is an in-game radio with an actual dj that you can listen to, the ability for more than 1 person to use mounts (so you can share mounts with someone to get somewhere), and flying mounts all over the entire game world. (one of the races even gets limiting flying without a mount, so!)

Yeah the tiger thing is hilarious. btw, you can get flying swords to fly around on too.

And you can be on a tiger while riding it too.

Also I missed one thing, this game has the best character development out of any MMORPG. You can be fat as hell if you want, or a panda, or a furry, or a dragon-esque thing, or normal, or look like a whore, or a transvestite, or...

Post by: HL on July 16, 2008, 10:27:41 pm
its too bad most people who play this game are either:
a) Cloud Strife
b) Sephiroth
c) furries

its kinda like second life where it sounds totally awesome and then you play it and you'll suddenly in a house made out of dongs watching some gay porn on a TV with a bunch of humanoid tigers as a giant plane that is a giant black dong goes flying by the left window.

only the dong is a sword now I guess heh.

Second Life is seriously one of the most buggy, unenjoyable messes of a 'game' I've ever played. Me and a friend jumped in to do silly things thinking it'd be fun like it was in WoW but it's so fucking terrible I couldn't even find people to rile up because I was crowded by dongs and furries.

no it is so text heavy you'll be lucky if you can figure out character creation bub....

edit:
though I thought there was an English translated version from the Malaysian version somewhere. i'd go check but i hate this game so you do it.

If you care about yourself at all, don't play Second Life.

It keeps showing up on CNN for some reason, even though it's FUCKING HORRIBLE.  They make it seem like some great game, but it has no redeeming qualities at all.  It is a horrible mess full of horrible people making horrible things.  It is not innovative, it is disgusting.

It is the 4chan of video games.

Haha, nothing really related to this game, but I was feeling pretty shitty for some reason and read this post, and it actually cheered me up! Thanks dude. =)

When I was in journalism two years ago in high school, my teacher had me to an article on second life because she'd heard a lot of people in the news talking about it.  She got REALLY pissed at me when I said something like "it's nothing but people having sex, people pretending to be animals, and people pretending to be animals having sex"

I don't know why but I guess because I shattered her view of it she just got REALLY MAD AT ME.  Sorry lady, but I played it (back when GW did, for the two times I could ever get it to run for more than four minutes), I could show you the screenshots but I'd probably get expelled for looking at that with school computers.

I can't believe that video, it just shows a guy using one spell the whole time. And the image on the right of it? Amazing.

That is actually something that they wanted to steer away from it seems.  All the feedback on their forums shows that they knew people would shun away from it if it was poorly translated so that was a major thing they focussed on.

I think the panda man is too much for me to handle, it does look nice though. I'll stick with my horde slaying humans for now though.
