MANILA, Philippines -- It is official. Level Up! Philippines will launch Perfect World, a Chinese-made massively multiplayer online role playing game, around second or third week of May 2007, just in time for the Philippine mid-term elections.
Level Up! Philippines has just purchased 30 new Intel-based Dell servers to house what the local game publisher believes would be the next biggest online game.
"Perfect World is a free-to-play, item-based online game that offers a buffet of experiences. It will appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers," said Jane Walker, chief executive officer of Level Up! Philippines, in an interview with INQUIRER.net.
"We're betting that it will be the biggest game in 2007," Walker added as she disclosed that the company has just invested about $150,000 to $200,000 for the purchase of the 30 Dell servers.
Perfect World has about 300,000 concurrent players in China, and 150,000 in Taiwan.
Level UP! Chief Technology Officer Christopher Syling expects to add about 15 computer servers every quarter. "This will depend a lot on the growth of the online population," he added.
Closed beta of Perfect World will start on March 19, followed by an open beta on April.
The commercial launch will be in May.
Walker said the "whole development process," which included Chinese-to-English translation of the game and testing, took around three months.
Meanwhile, Walker disclosed that Level Up! International is also distributing Perfect World in Brazil. The commercial launch will happen a month after the Philippine debut, she added.
Perfect World has won numerous awards, including the Golden Feather Award, Best 3D Online Game 2005, Golden Feather Award and Most Original Online Game, 2005 Golden Feather Award Three Most Important Online Game Awards in China, the Golden Palace Award for 2005 from NetEase. It was also listed as among the top 10 Most Anticipated Online Games in 2005.
The game was developed in Beijing, China.
