Zhu Xian and Perfect World

had a first try earlier with ZX, my first impression "Man it definitely doesn't look like PW at all, but more of TANTRA" LOL
I would still go for PW in terms of Interface, screenshots are not misleading unlike ZX...

Stat builds vs Skill builds > ZX limits your character to 150 skill points and 27 Celestial Karma Points, so this is where diversity comes in 1 class / job = different builds. There are passive skills you can choose from that adds either HP, Critical Rate, or Resistances. And what they call "Heaven Books" are the additional skills where you place your celestial karma points to, these heaven skills only enhances the effect of a pre-existing skill (thus in a way like the esteem books of PW)

Stat builds can easily be manipulated to suit your preference, while skill builds, you need to follow a certain tree since its only limited. (plus Stat point reset in PW is quite easier, compared to skill point reset in ZX wherein each use has a penalty)

There are no heaven or hell fairies, only talismans that changes their appearance depending on the level, job class, blood refine (fusion of 2 talismans), talisman accessories, upgrade. But these talisman has skills and you can learn new ones once they level up and you upgrade them.

Armors
you can only wear class specific armors at ZX, unlike PW where a Yu ling can opt to wear Heavy or Light Armors.
Crafted armors don't have the bonus attributes unlike PW and no crafted by suffix lol
And books are needed for one to learn crafting (there are armor specific books for each class, separated by gender)
Upgrading + affusing an armor gives it a glow depends on the level of refine.

Counterparts
if we have soul stones they have phylacteries (adds def, hp, dodge, hit)
if we have our immo, they have the refining phylactery
however, affusing (fusion of soul stones in PW) fails and if it fails, it removes all the phylacteries fused on the armor / weapon - whereas equipping soul stones in PW doesn't fail.

Here's an analogy of affusion in ZX, PW Version, imagine you have a 4 slotted Lion King Armor, that already has 3 limitless soulstone attached to it, and when u fuse the last limitless, poof it failed! all the other limitless that are already in the armor will be removed as well, LOL)

When refining fails in ZX, the armor / equipment disappears as well... LOL I'd rather stick to PW. Imagine, refining a Zi Ya then fails, poof your Zi Ya is gone as well... hahaha

Skill Names
Sexual Intercourse FTW LOL

Heard there are no "daily's" in ZX oh well... but i have yet to confirm

Quests
What I liked about ZX Quests, repeatable has EXP bonus haha... Although its kinda faster to level up when grinding rather than doing quests, unlike in PW, its a lot faster to level when doing quests than grinding (from 1 - 60)

And all the walking lol, you walk from map to map coz the teleport costs high...

Currency
ZX has the WOW (world of warcraft) currency style (gold, silver, bronze) uhm which is anyway easy to understand, however i'd still prefer the much simpler PW currency style

On vending, well I'd prefer the cat rather than the monkey (although i know suing loves the game because of the monkey vendors LOL, peace Mikee)

Hmmm

Overall, I'd still go for PW, the graphics aren't misleading, what you see is what you get type. Character customization still rocks (i hate it when i see someone who looks exactly like my character), Fashions that doesn't expire...
And the best part, the versatility and diversity in PW where I don't have to conform to any cloned builds... I can be whoever i want my character to be, i can wear anything I like... that uniqueness that makes me really say "this is ME"... this is my world, my game...
