Yes, 2 years of my life and thousands of dollars were wasted in this MMORPG — and let me be the first to tell you that the time I spent, the people I worked alongside, and the memories I made, were definitely worth it. The financial investment however, was not. Fast forward 11 years after closing the door on that part of my life, I found myself curious of how Perfect World was doing in So I went ahead and downloaded the enormously-sized game and realized that I no longer had access to my original account.
After re-signing up, I began a nostalgic trip down memory lane.. Upon logging in I learned that there were several new races, each with their corresponding race-specific classes.
Perfect World has always been known for its extensive character creator, but seeing the overhauled creator for the new Technician and Edgerunner classes was something else entirely.
After making it into the game I found that we all share the same unique starting zone now. Having a central starting zone makes it easier for players to join one another and participate in content together, but at the same time the game loses some of its unique personality.
I remember back when I first played this game, Winged Elves possessed the ability to fly from level 1 whereas I as a Human had to earn that right. This meant that my sister, who I played with at the time was required to fly across the entire map to level with me, as there was no way I could reasonably be expected to traverse it on foot. Not having that experience for new players — or the opportunity for experience like that is definitely a con to having a general designated newbie area, but at the same time, I can understand this makes the game feel more alive, and presents more opportunities for early-level cooperative play.
By the time I ceased my playthrough of the game, I ended at approximately level This was a bit of a grind to obtain, as leveling through the introductory levels of the game was relatively quick and painless, and leveling up until 40 was fairly straightforward. This got progressively worse as the game went on, with level 50 requiring substantially more XP to level than Thankfully there have been improvements made to both the graphical aspect of the game, and the gameplay.
Not specifically pertaining to old classes — from what I could tell they looked as bland and boring as ever. However the new classes had much flashier special effects, looked significantly better and the environments in areas added with each of the large expansions that initially introduced the new races and classes were of equally high quality.
This did leave a sense of disconnect, as half the game looked very flat and dated, and the other half looked like an entirely different game released 5 years later. The combat itself was tab-target, which, considering when this MMO was developed and released, makes sense. The short answer of it is yes, it most definitely still is.
