Here, I tried to gather answers to our questions that Orinj and Xarfox gave us. For newcomers, it would be good to read this before asking something...

Q : Is this game free to play?
A : Yes. It's a free to play game with cash shop / item mall

Q : What account will be used to log into the game? A new one or the one made for the forums?
A : the account that you use to log into the forums will be the same one that you use to log into the game. (Orinj)

(Orinj)

Q : What types of server will there be?
A : One will be Open-PvP, another one will be optional PvP, where it can be turned on or off at your discretion.

Q :I don't like the idea of an Open-PvP / Optional PvP server. Would you reconsider your decision and make both servers identical?
A :
Quote:
fact: there will be two types of servers.
fact: thou must deal with it.
fact: no amount of complaining will change this.
fact: nothing personal against any of ya'll.
(Orinj)

A : No, as long as they won them legitimately.

A : if we encounter "fake guilds" or people trying to exploit the system, we will conduct a full investigation and take action accordingly. (Orinj)

Q : Can I use other languages than english on the forums?
A : within the game you are free to speak whatever language you please. latin, pig-latin, hanster-latin, the works - do as you plz.
On the forums, however, English is a must. part of the rules.(Orinj)

Q : When will I be able to buy ZEN?
A : ZEN will be available when the game goes live through a variety of payment solutions.

Q : I played that other version of PW and I lagged terribly. Will I also lag here?
A : network lag WILL BE REDUCED (to folks that are in the americas and close by) because of geography and network piping. plus we have a much much better network backbone than [the other version you played]. (Orinj)
A : we've optimized the tech behind our game servers to accommodate users of several geographic regions (Xarfox)

Q : How will I be able to report a bug/problem/cheater/etc...
A :
Quote:
ticketing system

web-based
you utilize th web-based system to submit the following:
* questions
* suggestions
* bugs
* hacker reports
* general problems

in-game ticketing system
you utilize the in-game ticketing system to submit the following:
* bot reports
* hack reports
* report gold farmers
* problems with your character
* problems within the game

sometimes these two system work together, sometimes they work separately.

(Orinj)

Q : Will you prevent gold selling ingame?
A : we'll do our best to combat the gold sellers/spammers.

Q : Will I be able to transfert item/money/characters/anything from another version of the game I played before?
A : No, since those versions are run by another company, no tranfert is possible.


Q : Will the character limit in in-game char names increased? 9 characters seem a bit too few for me...
A : increased. at least from what i've verified. Definitely more than 9.(Orinj)

Q : Where can I download the client?
A : The client is available here.


Q : which kind of download methods is available?
A : Currently, you can use Direct Download or BitTorrent. If you are using BT, please seed the file as much as you can, thank you.


Q : Does the game works with Vista?
A: i've had no issues playing on either vista or xp. (Orinj)
A : I am running Vista Home Premium and have had no issues.(Xarfox)


Q : Will there be changes in XP or drops rates for open beta?
A : In order for our beta to be an effective test, we need the test environment to be as similar to the live environment as possible. Tweaking EXP or drop rate values during beta would taint our results and skew the data we'll be collecting. (Xarfox)


Q : Is account sharing allowed?
A : account sharing is a violation of the TOS. prepare to have your account privileges revoked if you get caught. (Orinj)


Q : Will there be changes/ameliorations to the forums?
A: we're still tweaking the forums - this is a beta release of the forums more-or-less (Orinj)


Q : Can I edit some files in my client to have a char looks really thin or really fat? I saw it on another server I played on.
A : we don't want that. so no lollipop characters or otherwise in the game plz (Orinj)
A : Modifying your client side files in any way will result in an administrative action on your account. (Xarfox)


Q : What will the NPC names be like?
A : for the most part, we're going to sticking with the Pinyin (romanized Chinese) versions of the name. So yer not going to find "NPC Fred" giving you a lecture on ancient Chinese-related lore and whatnot. seemed somewhat out of place. (Orinj)


Q : What differenciate this version from that other engrish version I played before?
A : Proper english, proper localization (more than just text, but i can't go into it now), better ping, and last but not least - way better quality service. (Orinj)


Q : I want to make a fansite about PWI! Can you help me?
A : at some point in time after we commercially launch, we'll have a fansite kit full content art you can use for your site. can't give ya'll a definitive date, but we're working on it (Orinj)


Q : How much up-to-date will this version be compared to others English version in other countries?
A : We are the direct subsidiary of Beijing Perfect World. If anyone is going to have the most up to date English version, it would make sense that it's Perfect World Entertainment. (Xarfox)
A : Specific information regarding the version of our game will be on hold until beta. (Xarfox)


Q : Will the events timing be appropriate for both Europeans and Americans players?
A : We will definitely be paying attention to Territory War times as well as doing our best to optimize those times to best suit the largest possible number of our users (Xarfox)


Q : Will the cash shop items be affordable?
A : We will do our best to make sure that our cash shop items are reasonably priced for the American market.(Xarfox)


Q : Will our chars be deleted at the end of open beta?
A : No, your open beta chars will be your definitive ones (unless you delete them yourself)


Q : Will there be a forum wipe at the end of Beta?
A : No


Q : Why did you changed the class names?
A : I realize that some of you aren't really feeling the new class names. I could go into all the fine details as to why we changed this and why we changed that. However the bottom line is that we really feel that Perfect World International is a fresh version of Perfect World. We wanted to complete that sense by localizing the class names in addition to the game's text. (Xarfox)


Q : Will the housing system be implemented?
A : Unfortunately the housing system is something that was only present in Perfect World I, which was subscription based. When Perfect World converted from subscription to Free to Play, that feature was dropped sadly. (Xarfox)
