It's over, perfect world comes in to ruin the day again

[Nythus]

To be honest, the writing was on the wall but well we can count on Perfect World keeping this game on life support providing minimal updates here and there until it shutdowns for good.

First of all - it's a developer who provides game updates, and NOT a publisher...

It's actually the opposite.
Li (or should I say Tencent) went as low-ball with the game as possible, to the point where they stopped hiring voice actors, including the ones for MC.
PWG on a contrast works towards improving quality of service + has direct contact with developers, meaning feedback provided by Global players will be finally heard by devs.

Uhh yeah but have you seen the trackrecord, or should I say, the graveyard that is behind Perfect World Games?

literally out of 15 games they published that's developed in house (not including game like cs and dota) there's only a few games that end service and the shortest is 4 years old while the longest is 12 years old (their oldest game is over 18 years old at this point). PWG is one of those company that refuse to eos game unless the game is actually dead

and no, they never published globally themselves. tof is literally their first experience publishing globally (in preparation for nte), if you research their previously published game globally, it's basically a third party publisher for those region while they only manage cn

PW games makes games live a long time and are good for this game

[Xaels]

Yea OP from my experience with PWG you dont know what you are talking about

[PFC Demigo [29th ID]]

Better be under Perfect World Games which handle the CN Version quite well than being under Tencent that degrades the game.

[Null_User]

This will be my first experience playing a game under PW as publisher. I do remember briefly playing the original PW game a bunch of years ago, but that was run by a different publisher.

While I can't say Li had a perfect record with this game, at least the abundance of free pulls for both standard and limited stuff made the rest of the decisions they made tolerable.

[Cosmic Mind]

Could be worse. NCSoft could have gotten it.

[PFC Demigo [29th ID]]

Reminder PWG owns the IP because of their Subsidiary Hotta Studio.
Better for the Parent Company to become the Publisher than a 3rd Party that just bleed the game.

And yeah NCSoft will definitely BLEED the game more than Tencent.

I don't think you know the real track record.

Perfect World Games in China is not the same we are used to in North America; it's not their fault when China tries to localize a chinese mmo and all we had at the time were these small teams in California that basically were learning the job in real-time. (PWE in the US imploded due to just poor management on our end and a lot of drama.)

EDIT: Also it DOES NOT HELP when our own governments, (both China and US) have the crappiest working relationship with one another. Imagine what the Japanese localized games would be like if we had that same type of bad relationship with Japan, it would be probably about the same.

Tbh NCSoft longest running game with ArenaNet as the dev is the Guild Wars franchise.
So they are not entirely bad imho.

But its NCsoft that pretty much killed Wildstar and the game wasnt half bad but i guess its true.
