Perfect World International: Northern Realms (2020) - Revisiting the classic PC MMORPG (still alive)
113I have been playing Perfect World Online since grade school, from the Philippine server back in 2007 to PWI in 2008. The game has gone downhills since the game's prime years during the Rising Tide/Genesis era. But despite its old age, the servers are surprisingly still populated (servers were merged, hence the new server names). World chat is very much alive than I expected and Archosaur West are still filled with catshops, still populated as ever after all these years. Perhaps, one of the things that I missed so much are the PK zones in the West, The Great Lake, and City of the Lost. These areas are usually filled with players with red and pink names killing and insulting one another (lol). It's not as fun as playing with high-end gears, but even back then, my equipment weren't enough to compete with R9 peeps; but PK was still fun despite being an easy meat for most PKers.
Good old times. The music itself is enough to make you feel emotional. The nostalgia hits hard as soon as the BGM plays in the background. It won't be long before the anticipated remake of Perfect World is unveiled, so I gave an old friend a visit.

Perfect World (console) is reported to be a multi-platform title developed on Unreal Engine 4 with U3D technology. Both Perfect World (console) and World of Jade Dynasty 2 are in an "intensive phase of development" as of writing this. Subscribe to my channel and stay tuned for future updates!
