Looking Perfect
An amazing feature that Perfect World Gold boasts is the extremely detailed character customization feature. Every aspect of the face and body can be customized to your tastes with the use of the scroll bars that change depth, distance and size of a certain part of the face or body. You can choose from over 60 hairstyles and hundreds of color possibilities for the skin, eyes, hair and lips. This makes you really unique from one another, and a possible twin in-game is one in a thousand. You can even upload a bitmap image of a face, change the opacity of the picture and recreate an almost exact character clone using the extensive customization features. Of course, there’s the off-chance that you get tired of customizing and instead choose one of the pre-made characters, in which chances of a twin rises up to a high percentage. Sadly, the customizable features are extremely limited when you choose to be a male of the beast race. You’re only given a preset of wolf, panda, tiger, and lion with customizable body sizes and eye colors. In addition to this, the beast race’s animal forms do not actually complement the character’s looks. Even if you’re a male wolf or a deer-bred female beastkind, your animal forms stay as a white tiger or a dazzling fox.

Adding more taste in the customizability of your character is the armor, weapon and fashion looks. Armors and weapons in the game are intricately designed, depending on your tastes and your character build. The chrome aspects of the armor and weapon shine with the light and the appearance becomes more ornate as you progress through higher leveled sets. Weapons have their own distinct design per level too. Also, armors and weapons glow depending on the rarity and the number of stones you socket in it. But, if you think your armor is looking stale, then fashion clothing is the way to go. There are quite a number of fashion articles in the market and the item mall. You can choose a top, a pair of pants, and a pair of shoes (some bracers or wristlets too) to style your character with. Plus, you can search for the colors you want or dye your own clothes to mix and match a vast number of possibilities.

In Perfect Harmony
Controlling your character can come from the keyboard or the mouse. The game offers WASD movement and/or point-click feature to get your character moving from one place to the next. The game also offers a jump button using the space in the keyboard. Press space twice, you’re your character will perform a double jump, a rare control feature seen in MMORPGs. There’s no autorun button assigned on the keyboard. Alternatively, you can click the horizon and your character will move in a straight line in that direction. It will eventually stop when you stumble upon an obstacle or wall, though there are instances where your character is still perpetually running despite being blocked by a wall or tree.
