I WAS with Level Up! Inc. CEO Jane Walker and Marketing Director Jake San Diego yesterday, and we had an interesting chat over coffee.
Lots of things are a-brewing (heh) over at Level Up! and you’ll find out more about these developments in these pages soon, but one thing Jane and Jake are definitely excited about is Perfect World, which is slated for open beta on July 18.
Jane said it was heartwarming to see the buzz Perfect World has generated, as the company’s message boards have been very active in anticipation of this 3D massively multiplayer online role-playing game’s open beta and eventual commercial release.
Now, what does Boracay have to do with Perfect World?
Those who sign up for the open beta might find themselves enjoying the perfect getaway in Boracay.
Here’s an excerpt from the press release:
In preparation for Perfect World’s open beta launch on July 18, 2007, registration for the game will begin on July 4. Adding even greater excitement to this highly-anticipated game is a special treat awaiting those that register early, the Race-to-168 promo. The 168th, 1,680th, 16,800th and 168,000th unique registrant will win a trip for two to Boracay, for three days and two nights, complete with hotel accommodations.The promo will last from the first day of pre-registration, July 4, 2007, all the way up to July 17, the day before the game’s open beta launch.
The trip promo greatly reflects what you can do in Perfect World. It is the first MMORPG in which players can uniquely customize their characters, craft every piece of weapon and gear that they use, signature the items they craft, engage in both player-versus-player duels and clan-based territorial battles, own and expand territories, quest both individually or as a group, engage in avatar interaction and interpersonal relationships with other players in the game, trade in volatile currency exchanges, fly and swim and even fight while in the air or water, cultivate pets and compete in races all in one game.
And what about the other stuff we discussed yesterday?
Wait and see

@reimaru
are you a former employee of level-up? If not, then I won’t believe you.

dont worry, im not an LUG employee. lols. i hate them actually. some of them has favoritism for some people. i only like the game…anyways, its pretty hard to make someone believe what im saying right now. after all, PW has only been released to a limited number of players.
but time will tell that i am right.
p.s.
im a cafe owner. its my job to test new games and install those i know would fill my pockets…youre free to disbelieve me, though. but if youre an online game player, then before the new year, youll be playing PW.
