Perfect World vs Zhu Xian Part 1
Finally, moon valley arrives, together with the zhu xian counter-strategy. But did everything go well according to Level Up's plan? We hypothesized the major clans quitting being an acceptable risk to LU. And so far, we see that happenning. A number of players from major clans have already expressed their plan to quit.
See, there is one part of our theory that I forgot to mention. If major clans do crumble and quit, the next game they are likely to try is Zhu Xian Online. It is, after all, Perfect World 3. If that does happen, then the dominators of Perfect World will likely dominate Zhu Xian Online, which in turn is expected to discourage the many, minor clans from trying out Zhu Xian. "Dami na malalakas diyan. Wag na natin laruin."
So, for that plan, everything is going smoothly.
Whats the problem now for Level Up? The problem they need to address now is that Perfect World isnt attracting new players, and with Zhu Xian on their heels, the chances of getting a considerable number of new players is becoming less and less likely. The moon valley patch does not solve this, since the patch is for high level players.
We all know that hype dictates the success of online games published in the Philippines. You play what your friends in the internet cafe play. Perfect World is beginning to need that hype very very badly.

Want a juicy conspiracy theory?
Konata = Raijunta
There.
Sure Konata doubts that Raijunta doesn't have friends among the winners of the fashion event, but since they're one and the same, then Konata's friends maybe? Schizo? Power Trip? You name it, he has it.
Indicators:
- Both from Dragon
- Same manner of typing
- Blue texts with the same font
There are other indicators that I don't want to give out due to the fact that he might change those patterns once he learns that we know.
Tsk tsk...

See. Raijunta already changed the font color when he posts. Haha.
Such a shame.

Excellent post! this case study gives me a lot of things to think about. I think this would be nice and helpful to others. Thanks for the post.
I personally think that ZX will attract a lot PW gamers. The chances of saying that "Dami na malalakas diyan. Wag na natin laruin." is IMO -- slim. If I was a member of a small clan, I would leave PW and switch to ZX, whether or not my colleagues move... I can always find a guild, or build one on my own.
Whether or not that is true, the percentage of these said "solid" and "guild" gamers isn't the critical mass.
With these kind of "somewhat-similar" games, I believe the biggest battle lies in the iCafe level.
ZX has a big potential, all it needs is big start like what Cabal but the question remains... Will it live up to its hype?
