Happy birthday Perfect World International! The game entered open beta one year ago today and the team has a bunch of festivities planned throughout the month to mark the occasion. Players who registered on or before Sept. 30, 2008 will get an anniversary mount and there will be double experience weekends held throughout September. Anniversary boxes containing rare items will be available until Oct. 1 and events like the sitcom video contest will continue to pop up, so keep an eye out for them.

In addition, the team has announced that the game's third expansion, Rising Tide, will be released this winter. It introduces the Tideborn race and the Psychic and Assassin classes, as well as new zones. For more information on Perfect World International, check out our recent in-game tour.
