Perfect World (Chinese: 完美世界, commonly abbreviated as PW and W2), is a 3D adventure and fantasy MMORPG with traditional Chinese settings. Players can take on various roles, including swordsmen, magicians, archers, priests and magical creatures. Characters develop skills over time, use magical weapons and team up with other players to fight against monsters and various creatures and to conquer and govern territories. It was launched in January 2006.[1]
Perfect World is heavily based on Chinese mythology and is set in the mythical world of Pangu.
Perfect World Boutique/Item Mall
While Perfect World is free to play, the game relies on items sold in an in-game cash shop to make profit. Use of the cash shop is optional, but some items purchased there can improve a player's gameplay, while other items have purely cosmetic functions.
Currency used in the cash shop can be bought from the respective websites of each company running a version of the game. Alternatively, cash shop currency can be bought in the auction house from other players in exchange for in-game currency.
Perfect World International offers pre-charged cards that can be bought from 7-11, Target, and GameStop locations.[2] These cards are designed to allow players who, due to age or other factors, do not have a credit card. The Malaysian version allows a player to "Top Up" via CubiCards.
Phone Lock System
As a prevention system against account hackers, Perfect World has a Phone Lock feature[3] for those who wish to use it. The Phone Lock, when activated, will freeze an account until the player of that account dials in using the registered phone number. Once the number is recognized, the account is temporarily activated for login. The player must login within 10 minutes of activation before the account login is frozen again. The player may continue to play despite the freeze. If the player logs out after the 10 minutes are up, that player must once again dial in to temporarily deactivate the Phone Lock. The phone lock feature is exclusive to the Chinese Malaysian version of the game.
