The Malaysian version (Perfect World (MY)) is now released for their English version of Perfect World available to all countries.

[edit] Background

Perfect World is a 3D MMORPG that is heavily based on Chinese mythology and is set in the world of Pangu.

[edit] The World

Perfect World centers on flight, and has many floating structures and areas. The game shifts from night to day and sunny to rainy season on a regular cycle, changing the view of each area with time, for realism.

[edit] Races and Classes

[edit] Human

Fah Shih (Magician (MG)) Specialize in fire, water, and earth magic spells and crafts, their great asset is their intelligence which allows them to deal power magical damage, but they are weak when it comes to physical damage. Like the other two magic-type classes of Perfect World, a mage is vulnerable to any creature or player that closes to physical attack range (EA being the exception, having ranged physical attacks) before the mage can deal enough damage to kill it. Mages are among the least favored class in the game. This is due to the fact that mages are hard to use in the beginning of the game and can become tedious. Mages are known as "late bloomers", however, and can become extremely powerful in the end game.

Wu Xia (Warrior (WR)) Fastest sword, spear, fist, and axe wielders, they specialize in melee combat. Their greatest asset is their blocking ability, but their weakness is magic because they spam stats on str and con. Human Warriors are the game's second best pure-tank character, next to the WereBeast.

Human Classes fly on magic swords, which become first available at level 30.

[edit] Wing Elves

Yu Mang (Elf Archer (EA)) Fastest ranged and powerful attacks are their advantage, combining powerful skills like fa shi have plus their long range can be fatal. They wield bow, crossbow, and sling; damage depends on agility. Their weakness is that the player has to distribute agi and str to have a good armor and small con makes them vulnerable to either magic and physical damage. Their motto: "kill it before it reaches you." Their damage can be unstable as sometimes criticals become more or less often. Due to having to dump ability points mostly into agility (with strength being second to that and intelligence and constitution a toss-up for third), the Elf Archer is limited by its strength and intelligence in what armor it can wear. A typical EA wears the middle armor set, based on agility, which tries to balance physical and magical defense.

Yu Ling (Elf Priest (EP)) Specialize in buff and healing skills, wield metal elemental attacks and a ranged physical wing attack which make its attack skill both physical and magical, they have good physical and magical defense due to their buffs and can also cast curses. However, since they are predominantly a magic-type (where the user will want to dump the most points into Intelligence), they are mostly limited to high elemental defense, low physical defense armor. Without their buffs, Elf Priests are highly vulnerable to physical attack. In addition, being hit physically runs the risk of interrupting any attempt on the part of the EP to cast offensive or defensive magic.

WingElf Classes fly from the start, however using and engaging in arial combat consumes MP. At level 30 they receive a pair of wings which does not consume MP

[edit] Beast Kind

Yao Shou (WereBeast(WB) (Gender limitation: male)) Best tanker in the game,wielding axes, they spam hp buffs, that's why they have vast amount of hp and useful stun and knockback skills, which makes them a good tanker. Although they are slow moving, along with magicians and werefoxes, they can assume the form of a white tiger which makes them faster than an Elf Archer. Disadvantage: they are weak against magic.

Yao Jing (WereFox (WF) (Gender limitation: female)) The WereFox has the ability to cast powerful wood, water, and fire elemental attacks--some of which immobilize the enemy or lower the enemy's physical defense. In addition, the WereFox is the only class in Perfect World that can tame and use battle pets (while all characters can have a pet, only the WF can have one fight with/for it). Their major advantage is their pet, which they can use to aggro, lure, and tank enemies many levels above them. The WereFox can also be considered the richest character because they can tame pets which they can then sell to other players or to NPC shops. Their disadvantage: like all magic-type characters in Perfect World, the WereFox is weak against physical attacks and any physical attack runs the risk of spell interruption. Any PK (Player Killer) knows when facing a WereFox to ignore the pet since once the master is dead, the pet goes with it. Fighting against monsters, the WereFox also runs the risk of the monster changing targets and ignoring the pet to attack the player. Despite this, the WereFox (and its pet) makes for a good balance between damage-over-time caster and tank.

Beast Kind Classes fly on animals, which they receive at level 30.
