A new game on the horizon is a game called Perfect World
Perfect world, by the tale of beta testers, is a seamless mesh of a Guild Wars type engine and a World of Warcraft type quest/reward system.
Like most Asian MMOs its setting is some point in mythological Feudal Asia. The game boasts a grind approach as well as a quest approach. The ability to quest from level 1 to max level is not been realistically approached in most Asian MMOs due to them being free or web based. The data and expense involved to run an expansive world with major content upgrades,Riding mounts ,houses,etc,etc has not been one that most companies are willing to venture into where free to play games are concerned.
Levelup! games is producing Perfect World in an attempt to corner a market ,in Free to play, that has been left untapped.
Such games as Ragnarok and RF online are also affiliated with them.
A F2P game relies on premium item mall/store purchases for it's revenue as well as minor advertisement. The approach of Perfect World is to aquire players form several games by offering the better end of several worlds.
The player Customization rivals City of heroes
The quest content is on par with World of Warcraft
The game also offers a grind, in it's play, to accommodate those who would rather grind that quest.
The PVP is reminiscent of DAOC, with several "cherry" areas being held and contested by faction groups.
Information on PW can be gleaned, as well as Beta accounts, over at GMtristans blog
