Beloved Wrote:Depending on your taste in graphic styles, Perfect World Entertainment offers 3 MMORPG's: Perfect World, Jade Dynasty, Ether Saga.
1. Perfect World
-is the first game they adopted.
-It is a PvP enabled game
-PWE has license to edit and fix the game as needed. They recently recruited a team of testers on the live server to determine game imbalances, aiming to report and have it fixed.
-Has a cash shop, but can trade farmed in-game gold to get cash shop gold
-The only ways to gain in-game gold is to farm with friends (or multiclient it all urself.. which is bannable) then sell the drops, or farm crafting materials. All of which requires you to do some merchanting. Obviously, money problems go away when you spend real life money. It is impossible to farm gold by endlessly killing mobs.
-It is a graphical pain in the ass in a territorial war where two guilds fight to gain control of a piece of land
-If you decide to play this game, stick to the version released by PWE
2. Jade Dynasty
-PvP enabled
-upgraded version of perfect world: imbalances, game interface inconveniences, etc. are mostly either fixed, improved or removed.
-very nice storyline (see Celestial Destroyer, Zhu Xian for theme songs, trailers etc. - PWE didn't seem to do such a great job here imo)
-spectacular graphics (skill animations for the most part). None cash shop bought clothes at least look nice/decent and conforms to the overall theme of the game.
-once again, is run by cash shop but the gold is much more recyclable than it was in PW.
-It is far more possible to farm gold by yourself - through daily quest rewards
-offers multiple realms (think of it as channels on ms) to reduce lag
-If you plan to play, stick to PWE's version. Celestial Destroyer (same game, but "maintained" by cubizone, malaysian company) has a bunch of missing stuff from NPC's to mobs and quest items. Zhu Xian I believe is the chinese version.
3. Ether Saga
-it's a cuter version of Jade Dynasty
sorry, I havent tried Ether Saga as of yet
The biggest difference, imo, between the last two games vs Perfect World though, is the amount of daily quests you can do to gain major amounts of exp and gold along with the ability to legally "hack" your levels. Basically, they've got an implemented feature that bots for you as long as you have the resources to keep it going.
The way you talk about it, you make it seem very CS dependant for gold unless you spend LARGE amounts of time.. Im trying to stay away from that
