It’s amazing how fast Perfect World grew in the course of 2-3 months. What’s even more surprising is how Valkyrie Server has exploded into life! This is a very good trend for the gaming community because it means we’re growing the Philippine market. Since Ben Colayco confirmed that Level-up! will bring in 4 more titles next year, there’s a good chance that the industry will finally reach the tipping point and go mainstream very soon!
Thanks again to Alex, Joey, and Erika for covering LIVE 2007. Rok On!

The new games will have advantages and disadvantages. What’s good is that the players have more games to choose from but it comes with a price. Players from other games will definitely decline. You guys really need a good marketing strategy if you plan on making new games.

True! When I played this game the first time I was immediately hooked. I like the idea that I can fly and swim in a single map without having all those map changes.
