As we all know, Perfect World was popularized here in the Philippines by the Game Publisher Level Up but according to hackenslash, Perfect World Co., Ltd. a leading online game developer and operator in China, today announced that it has entered into a new licensing agreement with IP E-Game Ventures. IP E-Game Ventures Inc. will license Perfect World’s “Zhu Xian” game in the Philippines.
This game is based on a popular internet fantasy novel with the same name. The game has been well-received among domestic online game players since its launch in May 2007. A Community Manager of E-Games, gave a hint that the Game will be launched this December 2008, though its not yet official.
In the beginning, the world of man was beset by tempestuous storms. The thunderous roar of lightning wracked the land and disasters befell mankind. Man lamented his inability to escape death and calamities and throughout the land was heard the wail of despair.
In desperation, man imagined that there were nine heaves above, where mighty gods dwell and nine netherworlds below where souls went to rest in the infernal halls. Thus did man begin to hope for immortality and devoted their worship to the great gods they had brought forth.
Despite the knowledge that death was unavoidable, all that lives, loves life and fears death. Belief in the infernal lands haunted man, and so, man yearned ever more for immortality.
Thus did wise men and sages begin to search for the secrets of immortality. Though immortality was still unattainable, there were some who were well cultivated in the mystical arts that understood the secrets of Heaven and Earth, and even as mortals they had great powers, with various magical weapons they could shake the Heavens and make the earth tremble.
The mortals that practiced the art of mystical cultivation were innumerable, as many as the carps in the rivers. For the Middle Plain is vast, and those with strange power were many, there were countless ways of mystical cultivation. The secrets of immortality are still unattainable, yet already different sects and clans have formed. These were divided into those who followed the path of righteousness and those who pursued the heretic path.
Once an apprentice of the righteous path, “Zhang Xiaofan” was hated by his brethren for loving Biyao, the daughter of the Ghost Lord. Later he betrayed the Green Cloud Sect and became a disciple of the Ghost Lord Clan, changing his name to “Ghostry”. And on the Mountain of Green Cloud, a heart broken Lu Xueqi that loved Zhang Xiaofan with all her heart and soul had to endure the avarice and persecution of her clan.
As the wars between the Righteous and Heretic paths continued, hordes of monsters and demons invaded the Middle Plain. Death and destruction spread everywhere, and the thousands of bodies left unburied created a stench that brought about the saying “Heaven and Earth are ruthless, trampling all creatures like straw dogs”.
Brought to the brink of extinction by this great calamity, the paths of Righteousness and Heresy have to abandon their old rivalry, and stand united to face the demons and monsters.

CM Mei Yan of Zhu Xian PH finally revealed the schools in Zhu Xian PH
so..here’s my reactin as well as to her description to every school
Heaven Sound Temple
Heaven Sound Temple practices the highest level of Buddism called Sanskrit Prajna. They emphasize on their own cultivation and strengthen their health by Buddism Dharma. Heaven Sound Temple outshines others in the magic of defense. It’s disciples are masters of theory of recovery. It’s also the only school who knows the mana of resurrection. They are like the doctors who can help to restore HP and increase defense. It’s good at group attack but can’t cause deadly damage to enemies.
They seemed to be naturalistic type, and the girl is so cute. That character was used by CM Mei Yan when she first explored the game, i think.
Azure Cloud School
Azure Cloud School has a long history. Ancestor Qing Ye hardly had any rivals since he obtained the ancient sword zhuxian from the Paraselene Cave. Azure Cloud School originated from Taoism. They are the magicians and are good at long distance attack and group attack but is weak in single attack and defense.
They semed to be more of a dynasty people.
Bonding Bliss School
Bonding Bliss School is one of the demon path. They are assassins with high critical strike and high damage. They look graceful and thus make you unaware that the danger is just beside you. They are the only one who can get the head of the enemies instantly. Its deadly weakness is defense.
They are more of an assassin type.
Ghost Witchery Level
Ghost Witchery is good various kind of venom skills. They can transform themselves into different stance, but their body is very weak and can’t resist the deadly strike from enemies.
This character seemed to be interesting for me… mysterious.
Ghost King Sect
Most of their theory comes from Heavenly Book. They can resort to different means in a bid to realize their objective. They are berserk warriors and good at single melee attack with strong defense. But it’s weak in long distance attack and group attack.
Starting Character:
Paladin
All the newbies are Paladins at the every beginning. They only know some very basic martial arts. They can choose to join a school when they reach certain level.
All schools have two genders to select from: male and female.

The minimum requirements is almost the same with Perfect World, and seemed to be lower. This is a very big advantage for the game compared to CABAL that has high system requirements. So we can expect large amount of gamers that will patronize this game.
