Sigh....so many posts about people making wild generalizations about who has lazy gamers, or who uses hacks and bots, obscures the original message that should be discussed.
I thought the screen shots were quite good, much better than I would have expected for a free game. And I found peoples posts about the online mall not providing buyers with a huge advantage very helpful, as I wouldn't want to play a game that basically rewarded those who spent the most money an automatic "I-win" button.
One issue of course, and this is just me, I really won't give it a try until a US version is releases (no, English version on Malaysian server isn't going cut it) so I guess we'll have a while to wait.
But despite the predudicial attitudes of some of the defenders of Perfect World here, I'll probably still give it a try one day and just hope none of them are on my server. ( I'll assume the detractors aren't going to be there anyway.)

I'll be trying it out as I do with every game that is made. Graphics don't look too bad, but from what I see...the interface makes me cry as do all free games.
The whole item mall debate thing: Some games have shitty item malls where if you want to be the best/have really great bonuses you have to buy something, which is a good marketing idea since people will do it, and some games will have a good item mall where you just buy items that you like to either look good or have some extra fun.
And to the bot thing: Botting is always a problem in games, but the reason there seems to be more in Asian MMORPGs is that they aren't secretive about the whole thing because most of the companies don't care, sadly. I've played free games where people will often have the word 'bot' in their name or an away message saying 'this is a bot dnd'.
Free games are the new way, be it in game advertising (9Dragons) or Shops like this one or sponser links for points like Fallen Sword. The big companies are beginning to see the benefit of the advertising dollars and maintaining their own "auction"/shop sections to help derail the farmers and EBayers.
I think more people should give the game a chance and come out surprise. almost all of the Asian MMORPG's that reached the west are often lower budget korean mmorpg's. However, Perfect World is a chinese mmorpg. Its a brand new market. give it a chance.
I'm burned out on free asian MMO's. We have had enough of them the last few years. I think I might not pick up an new MMO at all till Fallen Earth gets release (Or Beta :P)
Gotta say, the flight screens look amazing. Flying on a sword, with a female char in your arms? The giant swan? The butterfly/angel wings. Flying on top of an eagle, in tiger form, with another char on top in fox form?
Is it just me or does the graphics look like the WoW engine?

I'm starting to hate games that pretend their features are original and totally new. There's nothing new about any mmo anymore, stop with the false advertising already.
It really doesnt matter if a small group of people slag this game off here at all. Its going to be F2P, its new to us, it was made with a big budget and it has alot of great features so either way its going to attract a hell of alot of people.
So i wouldnt worry to much, its the typical mmorpg.com squad ripping yet another game to shreds before they have even played it, its got to be done, thats just how the mmorpg.com community is.

Cool as hell.
I don't understand people that will horribly slag off a game they haven't even tried in such a passionate manner...
Also i am very very fond of the F2P and 'buy extras' model from a gameplay point of view as i think you get a wider bunch of people.
