Well, usually I'm on the Wowscape private server for WoW (EULA be damned!) but, I just went ahead with this new one.

It's called Perfect World. Set in a China-like setting, with mythical, magical stuff. The (only) English client can be found here Perfect World Malaysia. Unfortunately, yes, it's set in Malaysia (which is great for me, but bad for anyone else that doesn't live in South-East Asia).

Okay, some good points of the game. It's got okay graphics (considering it's free for life - human models tend to look MUCH better, while Werebeast males still have a way to go. Scenery is also very pretty at points), the BEST human facial customization options (think Phantasy Star, but even more in-depth). The jumping makes for some interesting platformer style moments, and eventually you can fly. Very user-friendly interface (in-built GPS system helps a lot).

Bad points are, it's still in beta, so the English is atrocious but still legible. Character 'classes' and 'jobs' are joke. If you choose human male, you're Mr. Average tanker/DPS. If you choose Werebeast male (which makes you into Weretiger, Werelion, Werewolf, or...Werepanda), you're the TANKER. No choice in the matter, NADA. Skill-trees are set, and you're basically stuck on a set-path, although actual stat points are up for you to choose.

Anyway, if you do sign-up, please put in my Promoter ID: 345961 (do not insert Hotti)

Wrong board.

Believe me, I really wasn't planning to. Yuck.
