Even though most of them are new, unlike some dinosaurs in the company like muah, the PW team are a force to be reckoned with. Rawrr!!!

Toiling day and night to bring you this much anticipated game from China, the PW team are hard-working, dynamic and creative!

With the guidance of new Marketing Manager for acquisition games - Randy, they’re glad that, finally, Perfect World is now in Open Beta. Everyone’s excited as we see the CCU numbers go up by the minute!

Their answer to my interview questions after the jump…

First off is Mr. Joel Salvador (who is a notorious Donut lover!).

I wanted to know his thoughts that now PW is finally in Open Beta (and the numbers are constantly increasing), I ask him “what’s racing through your mind (after all the hard work)?”

JOEL: A mix of both relief and bracing. Perfect World Gold wasn’t easy to launch, especially with the pressure that the game’s name put on all of us. The proverbial “many lives were lost” to bring us where we are today, so seeing the games growing numbers elates everyone involved. It’s like watching your first born baby emerge healthy and strong. But we also can’t help but feel anxious as to what the near future will bring for our new game. We’re all excited of course, but at the back of our minds we know that the battle isn’t yet won. There’s still a tight knot in my stomach. We have to brace ourselves and keep up the drive so that all we’ve worked for so far won’t just normalize to being just another game. We continue to strive to keep Perfect World Goldas close to perfection as possible.

I LOVE DONUTS: No, I am NOT Homer Simpson! BM Joel Salvador

GM T: Any words of thanks or encouragement that you’d like to share with the community and those who helped?

JOEL: As I’ve mentioned, a whole lot of people gave their all just so we can be where we are today. Both within and outside Level Up! there have been those that have truly dedicated a significant part of their lives to smooth out the creases as best they could, and make this game as close to what the anticipative community expects. To all those that helped out, the Level Up! team and the gaming community, we owe it to keep Perfect World Gold delivering on its promise of being such.
