Perfect World International Offers Fast Track To Level 95
Perfect World International's got a new expansion going live on Dec. 16, called Eclipse. It'll have two new classes and a new race, but -- as is the case with most MMO expansions -- the bulk of the new content will be available only to higher-level characters.
So what if you've been away for a while and want to have fun with your friends at the higher levels? Or if you're just new to the game and want to see the best of what it has to offer? Lucky you! From now until Jan. 16, just log into the game and you'll receive a free Illusionary Crystal, which will upgrade (almost) any character to level 95. It can't be used on the two new classes.
The page describing the Crystal says it's "valued at $60," so you can buy more on the cash shop on the 17th or later. That's if you really don't want to level multiple characters and have a lot of spare cash lying around.
UPDATE: We received clarification from Perfect World that the Crystal can be used after the 16th. The offer for a free one expires on that date.

It is a buy option, but it's not a p2w item (not saying the game isn't p2w), and the current farming instances of the game are somehow protected from the "noob at 95 l2p" players, because it requires to relevel 1-100 at least once to access some parts parts of the game, and the good stuff is actually at the 2d 1-100 stage.
Conclusion: this is just a way for the new players to skip some stages of the game (some pretty boring stages at the current state of the game), but not a p2w stomp upon item (like some other p2w gear in pwi)
i miss playing this with friends but we have all moved on because of the ever increasing pay2win meta. thats all i have to say and its just what i think about the current game state.
