Please tell me this 4th f2p game from Perfect World is actually different from the first three (Perfect World, Jade Dynasty, Ether Saga) which may have had different settings but all had basically the exact same mechanics

Actually it uses pretty much the same engine as Ether Saga uses, which you will notice right off. But this isn't a new game they are putting out, this game has existed in English even for years now.
The original game is Wulin2. The English version that's been ran for some time is named Q-World. They are just taking the game and changing the text. This isn't a new parody game they made, this is a game that has existed for many years now and has already been translated to English before. But they took it and are changing the text and thinking it will make the game a parody and seem funny. The reality is that the gameplay isn't very good. It's old bland generic gameplay that they are trying to throw in silly text to make it seem like a new and funny game.
I played this game years ago. The gameplay hasn't changed at all, it's still the same boring gameplay that led me to quit the original English version of this game. Everything was the same playing again now except for the text. It hasn't gotten any more fun. Honestly, pushing out just another generic game with nothing new or good to it is harmful to the industry as a whole. There have been a lot of other "cute" anime games released by other companies recently that at least have some different and new gameplay features to them. This one does not, it just has "parody text". Perfect World International is banking on the idea that changing the text in a game can somehow make it more fun and different. To me, it hasn't changed much.

Yay for closed Beta keys!
On another note though, A majority of the time I don't pay attention to who writes a particular article here. However for some reason i can start reading one and tell that Sera wrote it after a few sentences. Just a random thought that popped into my head, i guess its just her hotness that oozes out into the article? I dunno

Perfect World take 4. Seems every game this company puts out is just another incantation of Perfect World with a few minor differences. This one also has the ingame botting feature that the newer games from this company have had also, which is an instant turn off. Another wasted download and install.

I actually tried the bot last night and found that it was better at the game than I was.
Still, I had fun while using it because I could just chat to my party all night while my bot ripped to shreds the mob I had to kill 1k times for a quest.

I stumbled across Warriors of the 3 Kingdoms the other day. I think their servers are in Singapore. Rough around the edges in terms of translations, but plays nothing like any MMO I've ever played. The combat reminds me of those Onimusha games. You wind up fighting hordes and hordes of NPCs. There are 3 factions, and both faction-based PVP and a duelling. There's some sort of nation war system but I haven't figured that out yet as I've just had fun thrashing hordes of mobs.
The tutorial level alone has you take on 60 enemies. You can probably do the whole thing in about 2 minutes. I just about fell out of my chair when I realized it was an asian MMO that did not rely on click-to-move.
Some downsides though:
Pretty much zero character customization.
Graphics are a bit "meh", but the animations are pretty fun.
The afore-mentioned and not-unexpected translation issues.
To get an account, you need to provide "national ID" - which would be your SSN if you are in the US. I'm not about to provide that to some F2P MMO maker halfway across the world. I'm sure you can come up with your own solutions to that problem.
