Let’s meet, Perfect World Philippines Brand Manager, Mr. Oneil Buena

GM T: Hi Oneil. Glad to have you on GM Tristan Online. Anyways, let's get to the meat of things. A lot of my readers are asking me about the game and are demanding for more info. But first, tell me why Perfect World Gold　is different from other MMORPGs of its class? And why is it that whenever someone watches the videos or looks at the screenies, one can't help but compare PW to World of Warcraft? For you, is this a good or bad thing? and why?

Oneil: It’s definitely a good thing to be compared to something that is available in the market but only in so far as having a reference point to see what Perfect World Gold　can offer in contrast to that of WoW. Perfect World has features that can be found in WoW as well but to say that Perfect World Gold　is the Asian WoW wouldn’t do as much justice to PW. WoW will be WoW, established, popular and was an international trailblazer in the genre during it’s time, but Perfect World is more than that. True that it has the mail system, seamless map, instance quests similar to WoW but we also offer features that are not available in WoW like the huge city battle system and full customization to say the least.

 I think it would be best for your followers to have a table chart of what PW can offer versus that of the other games so that they can see out right what we can offer

GM T: Swell idea, I’ll have that soon! Anyway, let's move on to over to the PVP aspect of the game. Briefly, please tell me how the PVP system works. I believe there's also a "city siege" control system, right? How can players join and kick ass?

Oneil: Perfect World Gold　has a newbie friendly PK/PVP system where characters are only allowed to kill and be killed by other players once they reach Level 30. Players who are able to reach Level 30 are able to kill players only outside town. Towns are safe zones.

Entering the City Battle map to gain ownership of the land requires a strong clan. This means for an unoccupied city they must be able to kill all 200++ monsters in less than three hours. For occupied cities they must be able to bring down the opposing clan who owns that city in three hours. In essence, the city battle requires full strategy and not just direct brute force which normally happens in other games.
