woooooooooot

Always i ping 100-150 ms in usa servers from europe, a lot better than 500-600 ms on shit malaysian network (where i have 7-8 secs delay on skills and 3-4 on mob targetting, pratically unplayable).

Will see in closed beta next month.

Personally, I think that the malaysian version fails. Why? Simple.
- low quality translation that sometimes doesn't make sense
- crappy americanized NPC names (nothing against the names themselves, but FFS, it's a chinese myth based game, there is no place for american or any other names in it...)
- lag (ok, not actually their fault since the whole malaysian network sucks)
- some really easy to fix issues, like the not working announcement page (ingame). The funny part about it, after i fixed that myself, i saw the page still says PW MY-EN is in closed beta. So much for "full release" xD

@Aran: When playing an EP, i didn't feel much of lag but then i tried playing a werebeast.... =_= I can't even chain my skills in battle because my char stops attacking for about 2 secs and then activates the skill.

I admit that i tried playing on a pserver (with a ping of 16ms from my university's network) and i assure you, the lag on the MY-EN version does make the game a lot worse than it actually is.

So i'm keeping my fingers crossed that the PW-NA will have less lag.

yes. if you are telling a russian tale (or insert any other nation here), they won't have american names, will they? I don't expect the names to be written in chinese characters - i can't read them just like most of people outside countries that use them. But i expect them to be in pinyin (the transcription of the chinese characters)

I see no difference between using fantasy names most players use and using the chinese transcription for NPC names, there is nothing hard about memorizing them.
The reason cubizone staff gave for using americanized names was "they are unfamiliar to the western culture and they will have problems handling them"
If they argument like this, they could as well limit character names to american names only, so that players won't have the difficulty of having to memorize the fantasy names of other players. <_<

I understand what you mean by not wanting to abandon your character, If i had a high level one on MY-EN i'd felt the same. That's why i never actually played actively after OCB - it was really not worth it with all the lag. Some people are lucky and not affected by it, but for me, it isn't worth it. 400-600 ms delay does make a difference. For example, you have no chance to grab an item if you and a malaysian player simultaneously try to do so from the exact same distance - his/her signal will reach the server faster and the server will give the item to him/her.

For those who care:
- Registration for PW-Intl is up.

I may look at this now..the delay on the MY version was just too much for me to handle.

However, I'll also be playing LotRO and Atlantica Online..so we'll have to see. :P

Soon to be returning to LotRO.

If it does, I won't be a part of it..I'll be on the EU servers if anything.

Unfortunately (for some), Lord Devil, the original GM of Wikiperia is from Austria so if he returns then it may be on the European servers rather than the International ones.

Yep if I would try PerfectWorld again... then for sure on the European servers!

OH... das Forum ist wohl tot, wie ich sehe... hier passierte auch schon mal mehr

Well, this version would be ok if there weren't those horrendous prices... 1 cash shop gold = 1$? Yeah right. I'm not paying 35$ for a mount.
And it doesn't look like they plan to change it.
Oh well, last try for me is the EU version....

@Selpetura: joa, hab ich auch schon gemerkt... deswegen komme ich hierher nur wenn's mir so richtig langweilig ist (so wie jetzt :P)
