A friend of mine suggested I give an MMO called <a href="http://perfectworld.com.my/">Perfect World</a> a try, today.
It's by a Chinese developer who have made a number of other MMOs and a few casual multiplayer games.
From what I could tell from their description, and the extremely slow Malasian branch of the website it contains your standard MMO stuff.
Character customisation appears to be a little more in depth appearance wise than some other MMOs I've played, somewhere between Eve-Online's fully 3D face editor, and CoH's costume editor in terms of choice. I'll deal with that more when I come to make Grimmie.
You get your standard shooty people, stabby people, magic people and nature people, and I'm told leveling revolves more around completing quests than it does grinding against mobs of enemies.
The client is 2.21GB and the website has a temperamental list of file mirrors, I'm downloading from the 'high speed' mirror provided on their site with the DTA download accelerator. I'm getting around 300kb/s and the ETA was 3 Hours.
Again, I know that there was more call for diaries on games that 5punkers would see themselves playing, but this is a personal project and I wanted to play something a little more unusual and not so mainstream.
The game's free and currently 50% downloaded.
