At this year's E3, Perfect World Entertainment also announced that they
were in the process of developing a brand new MMORPG set in Louis Cha's
world famous "Swordsman" book series. This MMORPG, which currently goes
under the working title of "Swordsman Online" will aim to bring Ancient
China to life, complete with ancient Chinese martial arts and combat.
How PWE plans to implement this style of combat remains to be seen, but
if you check out the trailer, you'll have to admit that some of those
moves are pretty sweet looking. Could Perfect World Entertainment's
Swordsman Online be the first MMORPG in North America to pull off that
action-fps MMO hybrid, or do you think TERA Online will claim those
honors first? Check out the trailer after the jump and you be the judge!

oo looks good.

No matter what they say or do, PW book is closed for me forever now ^_^
It was almost closed before BoI but I had the feeling it would be different for once at start
Once again they proved it wouldn't even after all those stories they told it was still PW all over again

For those that want to see an F2P mmo that actually is balanced enough with their cash shop I suggest trying Mabinogi (yes the old one) the only thing that could be considered there as a must is getting a $3~7 pet and maybee a mount, (pets for extra inventory space) which really still are luxury products.

Yes someone heavy cash shopping will get stronger faster, but no you don't need CS to progress at a good rate, and be able to enjoy every of the games content.

Also this game skill matters more then gear (it really does, not like other games that shout this)
(example I forgot to switch from my mining pickaxe to my 2h claymore, and still able to own mobs that can 1 hit me while having pickaxe in my hand)

Anyways, here's what you ll get with PW, yay fun at start, omg cash shop gives you power so much at middle, omg those dudes that spent 1000s of dollars r picking on us and even 1 of em needs an army to be taken down endgame ^_^

there you go PW game on a plate

haha snow u probably right.

now in boi they adding more cash op stuff in mail now.completely lying about they will not add cash shop for power for western server.

ppl now can get +10 to all gears easily with money.

i will quit but i wanna wait for new mmo first hehe

sucks when their greed gets them more money

ya but some can still beat most cash buyers inside if u work a bit.i am
still top 1 atm in term of highest power for heretic lolz.for now i
play boi cos some of the events is still fun :) and some of the people
inside of course=p


pw mmo lets cash buyer enjoy a huge advantage without needing to work
too hard for it.that is the appeal for some players but also its
downside since most of us do not like to spend money for power.

same i dont spend eather mony for power like conquer online you might no about those dragon balls that you use to make your charater uber in no time -.-

but like Cabal Online EU and Globel dekaron where i am both very active
they use a totaly difrent cash shop system dunno if you ever play both

now but you can see its so much beter
Dekaron focus on Fast lvl with talis 100 % EXP boost and gems to gain more succes rate when upgrading and clothes pets mounts and so on but no uber stuff to make your charater uber

cabal is very good in selling premium so you can go to premium channels and get 25 % more for every thing drop rate EXP WEXP and more also Warp to other places so very nice

also they very good in clothes and pets and cool things you can ride on like astral bike and boards so you see a totaly difrent but with succes ^^

i dont mind if some random guy spends 200 bucks to get to max lvl without any effort

i d just laugh in their face how they just spent 200 bucks on a f2p game :D

you need to spend some cash in a f2p game ore you never be good

you can play it free totaly but dont get the idee you be uber becouse you cant

a f2p need mony also to keep servers up and more so most f2p games lower drop rate cash and so on and mostly in cash shop you can buy items to get more mony in the game

and orther things to get beter

i also spend in so 4 years Cabal Eu so 300 euro but i now have a great warrior

with nice gear costumes pets and more ^^

200 to get top is in the past.

in boi now ppl spend 2k to 6k usd to get top

and they have to keep spending to maintain the lead

like I said there are great examples of f2p games where you don't have to spend or literally have only a few items worth $10~30 total that r considered a must in the long run which usually can be gained through buying em from people or paying people in game to get you some cash for you.

But PW games are defenitely not one of those.
Even though PW gives ya the possibility to buy zen the ammount of it needed to compete or do some of the top content is just too much

Ofcourse cash users ll always have adventages in any f2p but there r those where the adventage is extreme and those where it isn't

cash shop aside.pw does make nice looking games and they pretty fun heh.
