Forsaken World - Guild Established on Storm PvE server

Special Areas, Divine Power

The so-called "gods" in Project EM don't refer to a progression
stage of players. They are real gods possessing incredibly great power, and
there are only 10 gods on each server.

Once becoming a god, the player will be followed by countless
"apostles" and "believers" and endowed with "special" divine power. Meanwhile,
each god bears different features unmatched by others and has its own special
area - divine realm.

3D Soul PK System

In the innovative 3D Soul PK System, players' weak points are
likely to be exposed at anytime during a combat with their souls knocked away.
The knocked-away souls will fly around and whoever absorbs the souls will be
able to have his/her attacks increased by a large margin.

The Soul PK System will also serve as a vehicle for testing
players' quick response and exact controls.

Floating Bases, Moving Fortresses

Hundreds of guild bases, not behind the teleporters but on the
large map, are prepared for players on each server. These bases all fly above
players and allow thousands of players to conduct guild fights in the air.

• Perfect World's Working Project Em Debut

Thriller in the dark: Vampire

Vampires are a noble, mysterious and bloodthirsty race that has a powerful talent for magic and a diverse array of fighting skills and can transform themselves into bats. In addition to undying body and great strength, their surprise attacks even cripple every opponent. The strange breeding method of vampires stimulates countless sensitive people and arouses more people's curiosity. In order to keep their love eternal, they always turn their lovers into vampires.

Full Size

Man as hard as stone: Titan

Having towering figures and tough skin, Titans shelter teammates from wind and rain. When going on an expedition, Titans are always considered as the most reliable team members. As long as they are alive, teammates won't get into danger. Titans are a special race without females. However, they have a unique breeding way- each Titan was born in a stone...

Full Size

Technology is the first fighting ability: Dwarf

Dwarves created the most advanced mechanical cultures and invented the first firelock in the world. With the help of firelock, dwarves are not afraid of enemies even though they don't have magical talents and robust bodies. From thousands of hunts and battles, they summarize some complete and valuable experience: how to weaken enemies, how to extract bullets from enemies' souls...

In spite of their short figures, they are able to attack enemies effectively in the furthest position.

Full Size

Music is also a fatal weapon: Elf

Pretty elves are kind-hearted and have a talent for music. Some of them were born to be musicians. They can play heavenly sounds which may comfort friends as well as strike foes deadly.

Full Size

The embodiment of wisdom and technique: Human

In possession of profound knowledge and strong magical talents, humans created a colorful world and founded a prosperous Magical Kingdom for a time. Their agile body and mighty explosive force help them perform well in the thick of melee combats, though they don't have gigantic bodies like Titans. A variety of fighting stances are their secret of success.

hmm looks decent, but anything made by pw ent. is usually either A) grind-fest or B)cash shop-fest or C)both.

Well, at least the female dwarf is cute.. unlike most mmo or games out there. Cash shop-fest should be normal since Chinese are too good when it comes to money talking and making..

tbh
I'm really sick of PW games atm
They just mass produce the same game with slight changes every time
This one is just a very expanded PW so far...

Completely agree. Each game has very minor differences. And it's hilarious how they announce every game as a "new unique experience" etc. Bunch of bs lol

well the gods and soul system here is at least not available in pw hehe.
and with flying fortress and stuff it does sound nice.

but yeah we have to see the kind of cash shop they have first lolz.

PW DOES have gods
Their gods are the players that are prepared to pay big$$$ for the game ^_^
And I mean it, if you can spare enough cash for PW, you can become as good as invincible in that game by getting the best gear and maxing it with 100% guarantee!!!

Rawr I played PW for a while and could go solo 1 vs 10+ average same lvls, 1shotting most of em on an archer lol and that wasn't even HEAVY csed

ooh so this is like the western version of perfect world since pw was more eastern culture lol

Perfect World Entertainment's latest title Project EM has forsaken the conventional narrator's art of words. Instead, its epic story unfolds with a series of video clips.

Genesis

Maybe there's no one living who can even imagine those years. At that time, there was merely a sign of the eldest creatures. The almighty Creator Dios granted light to everything in existence. He bestowed the name Clemonto on this world.

Full Size

Upon the Creation, the Creator left the world and continued his journey in the endless universe. Before his departure, the God left behind three children to enlighten the four prominent races in Clemonto, namely, the humans, the dwarves, the giants and the elves. The civilization on earth reached the prime in Year 120 million upon the Creation. Everything on sight was growing at the fullest pace.

Full Size

Collapse

However, things turn to the opposite after growing to the utmost. The prime of civilization came to the decline with the arrival of the Destructor Nays. The footstep of Nays marked the turn of Clemonto's fortune. Fortunately, Nays left in a hurry after Dios, leaving behind his child Mar alone, who shouldered the mission to devour the world.

Today, PWE China has released the first gameplay trailer of its new MMOG, Forsaken World, which was developed under the code name "Project EM" or "PEM". The video shows spectacular character skills as well as magnificent game environment. Enjoy it!

Forsaken World - Gameplay Trailer

More Forsaken World Videos

In Forsaken World, a fantasy world called Grand Mundo is created. The game features exciting elements such as Rule of Time, Rule of Space, Magic and Divinity. The players can try to alter the fate of Grand Mundo with their respective actions in the game. Forsaken World adopts a system of annalistic history, and allows players to change core contents such as the Epoch, the orbiting of constellations and the birth of deities. The game is expected to be launched in 2010.

It contains many new designs, and uniquely blends the cultures of different regions in the game. We integrate many western features in the game play in order to make it more appealing to international players.

Hell it's just average graphics and poor skill effects. The enviroment looks as generic as possible O_o I could name a dozen new MMORPG's which look a lot better then this.

(Insert crappy concept art plus a terrible female voice here)

I lol'd.


This is what drugs does to game developers. Stay away from them kids

finally, a female dwarf that's actually cute.

The music on the site is epic! I want the song lol

Er, Shu...why is BoI being posted here? It has its own topic.

Anyway for PWE's current upcoming titles, I have to admit Forsaken World has some potential.

the graphic does look nice.but i not sure if PW can make a good mix of western and eastern blend of classes.will have to see how it goes heh

@evo ya thanks for reminding me about wrong post.i removed it and shifted to right thread

if you consider the kind of crap theyve been releasing for the PWI cash shop the past few months, i'd be extremely wary of any PWE release. this game has an interesting premise, having gods and followers etc, but this just seems to be a gimmick... top 10 Cash shopper wins? lol I spent approx $120 in a little of 3 months of PWI this year, most the money going into "hyper stones" which helped me get to lvl 100 in @ 3 months. Ive heard of ppl spending what I did, weekly lol, and other even more sickening amounts, ie $2k at server start, hundreds for "anniversary packs" which contained end game items.. these f2ps are just something else. can't wait for the next decent p2p timesink

haha mad.just play in f2p for now till a good p2p mmo is out :)

this year is gonna be a good year for p2p mmo

3. Astrology system adds fresh elements

The astrology system is closely related to astronomical
phenomena and a character's star constellation. Players can click the
Star Wheel at the upper of the screen to be blessed once per hour.
Various surprising benefits will be reaped through blessing, to name a
few, character Exp, battle buffs, treasure box, etc.





Moreover, the game also has an occupation named
astrologist who can predict the future, calculate the constellation
tendency in advance and remind some players to wear particular jewelry
or do a specific thing so as to avoid the bad influence from the
constellation.



4. Innovative Soul PK system brings a completely
different experience

Soul PK system is a special PVP system in Forsaken
World. Instead of a traditional stand-still mode, this system supports a
flexible and movable combat mode: Stage a duel - Activate the Soul PK
mode - Attack the opponent - Drop souls - Absorb souls - Maximize the
fighting ability. Your every movement is likely to reverse the whole war
situation, as each minute and even each second is full of changes in
Forsaken World.



5.Cool gear and brand-new mounts personalize
your character

In addition to a large number of gear and weapons,
equipment enhancement system, identification system, gem socketing
system, carving system and rune socketing system will also be released.
The CBT equipment has been designed with the durability attribute. After
death, players won't lose Exp but equipment durability

Furthermore, the mount system will be available. Aside
from common mounts for the five races, each race will have its own
mount.

6.Animated plots create a movie-like MMORPG

In the CBT, each character will be born accompanying
with a CG trailer which will explain the character's basic world outlook
in captions. Whenever players get into a new map or reach a new

animations are attached with options that allow players to enter
different subsequent branch animations according to their choice.

Forsaken World as it is launched by PWE North America will be able to be accessed by North America and Europe. If you have any other questions about this topic, please start another thread Thanks!

Q: Where can I get information from about Forsaken World?
The official Perfect World blog is a good way to get information: http://www.perfectworld.com/blog/
I would also suggest visiting this thread where you can find fan blogs, there is a
lot of information there.
Also, the Perfect World Podcast is worth listening to for information.

Warrior: Human/Elves
Protector: Stoneman
Priest: Human/Elves
Vampire: Kindred
Assassin: Human/Kindred
Bard: Elves
Marksman: Dwarves
Mage: Human/Kindred

Where can I find information about skills?
Cinderboy translated the skills. They are in no way
official, but may give you a good idea on
what to expect. Again, they are not the final and official skills.

Q: Wasd or key movement?
Both.

Q: How many characters will we be able to have per account?
Not known yet.

Q: Will Forsaken World use programs like X-trap or Gameguard?
No information about that yet.

Q: What is the level cap?
A level cap will be announced for closed beta later on.

Q: How many people can be in a party?
Judging from screenshots, a party can have 6 members.

Q: How does the two-currency system work?
From Cinderboy's blog (http://mmoculture.blogspot.com/2010/...ures-pt-2.html):
Economy or currency inflation is one of the most problematic issues
plaguing most games. In order to counter currency farming and prevent
massive inflation, a new economy system is implemented in Forsaken
World. This is known as the "Soul Currency" system.

After much discussions, the developers found 2 ways to counter currency
farming. First, ingame currency can be limited to certain uses and not
used as the main form of currency. This way, gold farmers will not be
encouraged to farm and store too much gold. However, this will lower the
entertainment and play value of the game for the players. Second,
ingame currency was to be separated into 2 types. The first type will be
normal gold, while the 2nd type will be soulbound to players for
learning skills. However, there are bound to be more disadvantages than
advantages as players will be put off by all the restrictions.

After so much thought and brainstorming, what will be the best system to
implement in the game? In the end, the developers went ahead with 2
kinds of currency - a normal one which is tradeable, the other known as
"Soul Currency" which is not tradeable.

Soul Currency will be used to learn skills, buy potions, equipments...
Other than trading with other players, Soul Currency can be used to
purchase almost any items. Rewards from quests, mob drops and selling of
equipments will only give players Soul Currency. This will definitely
hit potential gold farmers hard. The tradeable, normal currency can only
be gotten from instances and various ingame activities and events.

Q: How big is my inventory?
There will be three sub-inventories (for normal, quest, special or
trading items). The space for normal items is, according to screenshots,
24 spaces (with what seems like space for an inventory expansion).

Q: Can you fly?
There is no indication that there will be flying or flying mounts like
in Perfect World.

Q: Can you jump?
Yes.

Q: How does the Horoscope system work?
You are able to input a birthdate at the beginning, while making your
character. Your birthdate will belong to a star constellation. If that
star constellation dominates the sky, you can receive great rewards,
like buffs, items and much more. What you get also depends on your Faith
(which can be increased by praying). An astronomer (occupation) can
make more accurate Horoscopes.

Q: Will there be instances?
Head here to find more information on instances.

Q: What are the XP skills?
XP skills are special racial skills. Every race possesses different one.
Everytime you kill mobs, a third bar, the "rage" bar fills. When it is
filled, you will be able to unleash powerful AoE skills on the mobs
surrounding them, which most of the time means instant kill. XP skills
cannot be used in pvp. They grow stronger with quests/levels.

For more information, visit this thread: http://fw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1831


Q: Can we swim in Forsaken World?
Yes.

Q: Will there be rankings?
Yes, it is rumored the ranking system will have to do a lot with the God
system.

Q: Is there a quest tracker?
Yes. You can automatically run to quest givers. Your quests can be
tracked and will show up on the right side of your screen.

Q: Will there be starter areas?
Yes, each race will have their own starter area. Cinderboy found this
great picture for us:


Q: Will races have different attributes and racial skills?
Each race will have 1 special racial skill of their own.

Human - Skill name will be called "Prayer". Dispels Sleep, Silent, Bind
and Stun status, recovers some MP.

Dwarf - Skill name will be called "Energy". Dispels Sleep, Silent, Bind
and Stun status, increases movement speed according to character level.

Elf - Skill name will be called "Natural Leech". Binds target to the
ground and leeches target's mana point.

Stoneman - Skill name will be called "Earth's Fury". Long distance Stun
skill, Last 3+0.5 * caster's level. Deals a fixed 100 damage.

Kindred - Skill name will be called "Way of the Vampire". Leeches
target's health point according to caster's health point and inflict
Silent status on target. (Cinderboy, MMO Culture, Features part six)




Forum Use
Q: How do I get an avatar?
Everyone automatically gets an impersonal avatar. For every character
you make in game, a new avatar you can use will appear. You can't upload
your own from what I know.

Q: How do I get a signature?
Currently, there is a glitch that doesn't let you edit your Forsaken
World avatar. To avoid it, head here:
http://fw-forum.perfectworld.com/pro...=editsignature
You can upload a picture or insert a link with the picture (if it is too
big, an error will show up. Make sure your signature has the correct
size). You can also add colors, smileys, text. Remember that signatures
mustn't be so large that they take up most of the site and always
remember that signatures shouldn't be so bright that they bother other
people. Signatures must abide to the forum rules.

Q: How do I send private messages?
At the top right corner, click on User CP (http://fw-forum.perfectworld.com/private.php)
or at the top right corner, click on your name. Click on "send new
message". Insert the name of the person you want to send the message to.


Q: How do I add friends?
Again, click on User CP/your name and click on "contacts". Insert the
name of your friend and click on "add contact". Edit: This doesn't seem
to work correctly at the moment.

Q: How do I quote or edit?
At the top right corner of each post, you will see certain buttons.
Click on quote if you want to quote someone, if that post is your own,
the additional button edit will show up.

Sections to be added later on:

PvP

Forsaken World features a unique PvP system, the soul PK. This system
will involve player skill and movement. hikarux3 did a great job
translating that, look at this thread. You can also find more information on
the blogs of cinderboy and autumnaldusk.

Q: Will there be PK zones, open world PK or Pvp Servers?
Nothing official has been said regarding that topic.

God System

Mounts and Pets

Q: Will there be pets?
Yes. There will be "normal" pets you can tame (you can tame any wild mob
in the game). Also, hikarux3 went through the trouble to translate the
"magical" pet system for us. I take no rights for the translation (see this topic for the original thread) Also, read more
about pets here (thanks to cinderboy)


Q: Will there be mounts?
Yes.




Q: Will mounts be race or class-restricted?
No information about that yet.

Q: How to get a pet?
It seems you get your first pet at level 10 and with that, the ability
to "tame" your first mobs.

Q: How to get the taming skill?
See above.

Q: What is the difference between a tamer and a normal player?
It seems tamer can tame elite or stronger mobs (or have a higher success
chance).

Occupations

Aside from your class, you can also learn occupations. You can learn as
many occupations as you would like to. Occupations can be learned from
NPCs, though some occupations can't be learned from NPCs.


1.Socialite
Someone who can coerce or persuade a NPC to get special quests that are
not available to other players.

2.Adventurer
Someone who observes the changes of the world and looks out for
legendary Beasts and unusually strong mobs to report to the Department
of monsters.

3.Merchant
Can use "bargain" and "shill bidding", as well as "market forecast" and
many other skills to observe the market and get the best prices. A very
useful occupation to get rich. Might also be able to get special items.

4.Collector
Useful to make friends, the collector copies valuable information from
books or scrolls.

5.Arcanist
Able to utilize Runes to the fullest extent of their power. Some Runes
may bestow good luck, protection and punishment (evil effects).

6.Botanist
Identifies and collects herbs.

7.Astrologist
Able to make even more accurate forecasts. They are able to predict the
future. They can also receive blessings from the God by praying.


8./9. Bladesmith and Armorsmith: All around making and refining armor
and weapons.


10.Tamers: Can tame special pets not available to others (for example
bosses/elite mobs).


11.Alchemist: Produces pharmaceuticals which is able to restore health,
MP, and maybe able to resurrect the dead.


12.Cook: Able to make potions (you won't be able to buy potions from
NPCs after level 30).

Please note: The names are not official yet. For translation, I used
help from Asfer's translation here. So thank Asfer for the translation


Guilds


Note: a Guild forum has been made. If you are seeking to join a guild,
visit here.

From cinderboy, I take no credit for the information (find it here: http://mmoculture.blogspot.com/2010/...ures-pt-4.html):

Requirements - Level 20, 10 gold.

I have read that players who play casually till level 20 will only
barely have around 1gold during the Chinese Preview Test. Kind of hard
to earn I guess. NPC can be found at Freedom Harbor to start a guild.


Not much is known, but here is some information which I know.

- There will be hundreds of Guild Bases up for grabs in each server.

- These Guild Bases will be shown on the World Map, including which
guild is occupying the base.

- Guilds will be able to somehow design and upgrade their bases.

- There will be special NPCs selling exclusive items and NPCs helping
guild members to run trade errands.

- Other than the special NPCs, there will be a garden for members to
tend to and once again, build up their base into grand castles or mighty
forts.

- Guild Vs Guild PK Wars will allow guilds to accumulate points and
summon their own God.

- By having a God character in the guild, the guild can lead its own
server's players to war against another server. This is known as the God
Wars, or Battle of the Gods to sound nicer. Or Clash of the Titans. I
have no idea how many players can such a war hold, but its pretty
impressive sounding even for a PvE (or carebear) player like me.

- Forsaken World will also support several other cross-servers PvP wars,
including Guilds Vs Guilds, Guild Base Siege, 1 on 1 PvP and many more
type of PvPs, all cross-servers.

good to see they re kinda changing their game styles :)
