Set in a mythical Chinese fantasy theme, Perfect World introduces players to three races, each with two classes to play. Humans, The Untamed and Winged Elves will vie for your attention, but choose wisely as you may find yourself in the unenviable position of having to decide between the race you like and the job you want. That said, character creation is surprisingly deep for a free to play title; more than likely owing said fact to its subscription based roots. Hair, facial features and body attributes can all be altered significantly, while the aforementioned racial models span everything from bat girls to metro sexual teenage guys common to Asian gaming. For this test run, I had to decide between rolling up a Cleric class or... a foxy Kitsune girl.
Tough call, that one.
Fortunately for me, Clerics are an elf job, and a hot elfette sufficed for our experiment. Be forewarned when rolling your character however, as there is a seven day hold on any characters you choose to delete, including the name you used. While I usually find such extreme idiot proofing highly annoying, Perfect World allows you several free toons, marginally alleviating the headache this discovery will inevitably create. Additionally, you are permitted to change that character#DY#s appearance at will for up to two days, something I find more than fair after some of the more inane measures other F2P titles employ.
