BD PW 20

Type: Perfect World Private Server
Website: bdpw20.online

Blue Dragon Perfect World, listed as BD PW 20, is a custom high-rate Perfect World server that has been running for around four years, which is long enough in this scene to be the main thing worth saying about it. The design goal is not era fidelity. The level ceiling is pushed to 350, the gear is custom rather than retail, and the whole progression curve is compressed so that the server's centre of gravity is end-game PvP and events rather than the levelling road that gets you there. The team states that PvP is balanced deliberately rather than left to whatever the custom gear produces, and it runs a mix of manual and automated events every day so there is scheduled content without a GM having to be online for all of it. Character customisation is treated as a headline feature in its own right, with an extensive catalogue of mounts, flyers and weapon fashion.

Type: Custom high-rate
Max level: 350
Gear: Custom
Running since: Roughly four years

Level ceiling of 350: The cap is raised far past retail, which is what the custom gear tiers and the compressed curve are built around.
Custom gear: Equipment is server-made rather than retail Perfect World gear, which is how the team controls PvP balance at the raised cap.
Balanced PvP: The team states PvP balance is maintained deliberately rather than being a side effect of the custom items.
Daily events, manual and automated: Events run every day, some scheduled automatically and some run live by staff.
PvE and PvP content: Both sides of the game are kept in the content rotation rather than the server being PvP-only.
Mounts, flyers and weapon fashion: A large cosmetic catalogue covering mounts, flyers and weapon appearances.
Free to play: The server is open to join at no cost.
Active GMs: The team advertises experienced GMs present on the server.
