Unique Classes – three unique races (Human, Winged Elf, and the Untamed), each with their own look, feel, and game mechanics. Each character class has different skill trees, which cater to the user’s visual tastes as well as their intrinsic needs as a gamer.

Guild/Clan System – Guilds enable chat between members, creation of guild emblems, guild versus guild battles, and control of existing territories.

Territory Wars – Guilds can own territories and battle for their control. Weekly battles support up to 80 vs. 80 and winners receive a monetary reward determined by the amount of territory occupied.

Mount System – Large selection of custom mounts, including flying mounts and the unique ability to mount and carry other players.  Unlike World of Warcraft, players can actually fight while on their mounts both in PvP (Player vs. Player) and PvE (Player vs. Environment).

Costumes – Players have the ability to fully express themselves through their in-game characters by customizing clothing, and creating fully personalized avatars. These customization items can be bought from the item mall or from other players.

Free Roaming Map – Large variety of terrains and scenery and no “zoning” or front loading when entering a new area. 

Day/Night Cycle – To increase player immersion, the game shifts from night to day and sunny to rainy season on a regular cycle, changing the view of each area with time for realism.

Consequence – Character’s abilities can change based on their decisions and their allegiance to good and evil as they align themselves with either side.

Marriage System – A complete marriage system where both players will have an online notice, and a wife/husband title.

Crafting System – Players can select and raise four different crafting skills. Blacksmithing (creates weapons), Tailoring (creates armor), Jewelry (creates various jewelry and arrows), and Pharmacist (creates potions and hierograms). Players will need materials for items they need to make. Crafted items will have the player’s name adorned on them for the purpose of credit.

Exceptional Localization – Perfect World Entertainment has gone through great lengths to fully re-localize Perfect World into English, while at the same time ensure that the Chinese mythology and lore continue to enrich the end-user’s experience.
