Perfect World International is the English-based, international version of Perfect World II, one of the most successful 3D MMORPGs with more than 50 million players worldwide. The game is inspired by Chinese Mythology and based in the mythical world of Pangu.
While boasting a level of artistic elegance not seen in other games of its genre, Perfect World International offers an immersive online world that players can enter free of charge. Additionally, it features one of the most in-depth character creation interfaces in any game, numerous quests full of lore and depth, and an extensive selection of items and fashions. Unique MMORPG features like Territory Wars will delight gamers and increase replay value as they explore and battle across the ever-expanding game world.
Unlike other games that charge subscription fees, Perfect World International is "Free-To-Play." Once inside the game world, players can earn and spend money to upgrade a large variety of items to enhance their game play experience. Players can acquire and begin using items in real-time without any disruption to game play. Digital goods that players can obtain in the Cash Shop include: items that can assist with mundane tasks such teleportation devices or consumables that aid player progress, others that reset or temporarily increase stats, expansion of storage capabilities, customizable fashion and equipment, such as mounts that allow faster movement and reduce travel time, social items and gifts that assist communication, and more.
Since the beginning, Perfect World International players have experienced three major expansions including The Lost Empire, Age of Spirits and Rising Tide. Within the last year, Perfect World International's largest expansion - Rising Tide, introduced the new Tide Born race, the stealthy Assassin and Psychic classes, four new zones, over 200 new quests and 100 new monster types. With the introduction of two new servers, Archosaur and Raging Tide, new and old players alike were able to start from the beginning of the Perfect World universe.
"Even though we have reached the two year benchmark, we are still committed to providing players a high quality free to play game with much more content on the way," said Clifton Chu, Product Manager for Perfect World International . "We are proud to be able to respond to our players' wants and successfully launch these expansions in a relatively short period of time. Our players make Perfect World International what it is today and to kick-off this celebration, we plan to reward every player regardless of membership length. Our hope is that players will continue with us in the adventure of creating a perfect world."
Players of Perfect World International can expect to be showered with a wealth of free cash shop items including free fashion sets, mounts, and exclusive anniversary gear when they visit their account mailbox.
