We were always at the forefront of inducting names for each of the servers in our games.
For Perfect World however, we decided to have users suggest on the server names and let them decide and select the most fitting for the first server. Names of course should be related to the genre of the game
We trimmed down huge list of suggestions into four which are:
- Fenghuang
- Qilin
- Long Hwo
- Juan Shen
Descriptions of each suggested name are located in the Perfect World Forums
As of this writing, Qilin is leading the poll with a 37.5% percentage advantage over Fenghuang

What does Qilin mean?
Ello GM Tristan. ahhaa
The Qilin is a mythical hooved Chinese chimerical creature that is said to appear in conjunction with the arrival of a sage. It is a good omen that brings rui or prosperity. It is often depicted with what looks like fire all over its body.
Although it looks fearsome, the Qilin only punishes the wicked. It can walk on grass and yet not trample the blades and it can also walk on water. Being a peaceful creature, its diet does not include flesh. It takes great care when it walks never to tread on any living thing, and it is said to appear only in areas ruled by a wise and benevolent leader (some say even if this area is only a house). It is normally gentle but can become fierce if a pure person is threatened by a sinner, spouting flames from its mouth and exercising other fearsome powers that vary from story to story.
Some stories state that the Qilin is God’s most sacred animal, or pet. Therefore, in the hierarchy of dances performed by the Chinese (Lion Dance, Dragon Dance), the Qilin ranks highly; second only to the Dragon and Phoenix whom are the highest.
In the Qilin Dance, movements are characterised by fast, powerful strokes of the head. Qilin Dance is often regarded as the hardest dance to perform due to the weight of the head, stances and the emphasis on “f�Ž j�€œng” outbursts of strength/power/energy.
