PFI Fail!

The MMORPG Perfect World International (PWI) is not a bad game. I used to play it. I was actually thinking about playing it agian and when i got to the home page i found out there was an expansion for it so of course I thought "Awesome. New content." I went to the news page for the expansion and found this....and realized i was wrong.


















Now you may be asking "whats the big deal?" Well ive gone to the liberty of highlighting a copy to show whats exactly wrong with this picture.



















Thats right , folks. Lochmur....WTF guys....could that be anymore of a ripoff. For those who dont automatically see the issue, heres a breakdown.


World of Warcraft has a creature called a "Murloc" which is a fish-man type beast. PWI's "Lochmur" is obviously a fish-man type creature as well. They couldnt even come up with a good name. All they did was take Warcrafts name and switch it around. Seriously, fail for you, PWI. And for those who still arent convinced heres a comparison of the two creatures and the link to the PWI expansion page. http://pwi.perfectworld.com/news/newsubpage/rising-tide---now-live--8231
