Computer Situation

Well, it is taking much longer than expected to get a new computer. I think it's been somewhere around 7, maybe 8 months now. I do still plan to release more videos as soon as my new computer is up and running. I have to stick to a ridiculously strict budget with this new computer, $500 or less. What makes it worse, is that I am a gamer. Therefore, I need a computer that can keep up with the latest games. I've been searching ebay, and I've found some great deals, but the price always shoots up at the last second. Anyway, I'll keep searching for a computer.

PW International vs. PW MY

I intended to make a video comparing Perfect World International to Prefect World Malaysia, but I've had a couple of delays with my new computer. First off, they are the same game. There are only one or two major difference between the two. PWI has The Lost Empire expansion which adds some more content to the game. However, as of now, it's arenas are currently closed and have been for several weeks. Other than that, there are only minor changes. PWI and PW MY have a lot of different names for the same thing. One that I particularly don't like is changing Ancient Dragon City to Archosaur. I mean seriously, Archosaur? Anyway, the names of the classes, skills, stats, and pretty much everything else has been changed, but it doesn't change the game. Personally, I feel that PWI will grow faster than PW MY because it seems to have a much larger development team. Some people have even called PW MY the guinea pig for PWI. Also, PWI has more community based events, such as holiday quests/gear. Some of the small grammar issues in PW MY are not present in PWI because of it's North American centered audience. On that note, for people playing in North America, the ping on International servers (almost always below 50) is much less than on PW MY servers (usually around 200) making the game a little bit more responsive. To sum it up, if your in North America and haven't already a invested in a character in a different version of PW, go for PWI. Otherwise, stick with the version your playing, but if you feel the need to try PWI, take it for a spin. I have started a character in PWI (level 18), but I will still spend the majority of time in PW MY. On my videos, I'll try to keep the different names of items from being an issue. I hope this helps all of you who can't decide what version of PW is best for you.

Materials Locations

A while back I posted the mob locator to find all the mobs and drops you need. Now, I've found a site with the locations of almost all the mats, http://janelh.wikidot.com/plants-and-minerals. You can search for items by location, or you can use ctrl+f to find what your looking for. All of the material names are from International, so if your looking for something in a different version, look for the image of what you want, and search for that item. They've provided you with images of all the mats. Happy gathering!

Auction House Goldmine

Many of my friends who are swimming in gold buy whatever currency the item shop uses with real money, then sell it for a ton of gold. But, for those of us who can't spend money to make gold, the auction house is a great way to go. The auction house is the way I make most of my gold by buying low and selling high. I look for a huge gap between the lowest price of an item and the second lowest price, then buy the lowest price. Next, I sell it for a little less than the second lowest price and wait. If you try to sell something that isn't the lowest price, then you may not sell it and the fees could put a dent in your profits. It's good to start out with about 50-100k of gold and some small sales, then work your up to the bigger deals. I hope this guide to gold helps you get the mount you've always wanted.

Perfect World International

Right now Perfect World MY isn't working on this computer, so I've decided to start trying out Perfect World International. This doesn't mean I'm switching games, I'm just trying out Perfect World International until Christmas, when I get my new computer. I will try to release a video comparing the two versions of Perfect World soon after I get my computer. I'm playing on the Heaven's Tear server of Perfect World International and my screen name is Thepizza.
