Even though it has been out for a few years, Perfect World International just now has seen its first player hit the level cap of 105.  What is notable about this is that the gamer hit level 105 without paying a penny of real-world money.  The level cap wasn't hit in a matter of hours like the recent expansion from Blizzard, but at least it's apparent that the game truly is free-to-play.  You can click here to check out the game for yourself.
