Actually, previous to this I usually spent all that gold to sell/open packs for spend promos and dump all the DoD/DoT into the market to sell at rock bottom 70-80m prices, then repeat. Gold is way too precious now to spend on packs for trivial spend promos, and there's no real reason to sell something fast for a quick…

I find it odd that people think raising the cap to 10 million will cause the price to go up to 10 million. There is no cap on WC gold prices, and yet when I advertise selling gold at 10 million, even with a free homestead envelope for gold transfer, no one is willing to buy it. Could it be that if gold price was uncapped,…

The thing is, China did raise the coin storage limit on bags/AH to 1b, so there has to be a lot of coins floating around even in China, or they just decided to raise it for the other markets. Since gold is around 1m in China I find it highly unlikely that there are multiple people running around with 800+ gold worth of…

Removing the expiration timer won't change the fact that no one sells gold to the AH. They will still trade through World Chat. The inflation brought in by keys have so far only been able to raise gold to ~6.5-7m at the high end. My best guess is, if they raise the cap, it would be raised to at least 99.9 million, so that…

The argument people were making against the cap is that it would keep prices low, because people would see the 4m per gold in AH and think, "gee, gold is only 4m, so I guess I can sell my DoD's for 80m." It's basically assuming people are idiots and won't bypass the AH and sell off the real gold value.

Just CS moar until your're OP enough to carry to 1600, not that hard. Not really PWI's fault u can't spend enough to win against noobz. There's an awesome NP charge promo right now that can get you there, I'd recommend going for at least RB 1. You only have to charge $32,400 which if u got a good job u can make back in…

On Dawnglory, you will get roughly ~60% of your investment back, but due to the percentages it will be extremely streaky - A lot of people will lose a moderate amount and one lucky person will big a massive amount. I would recommend skipping out on both charge and spend rewards and waiting until PWI pulls their head out of…

Whoa, I was completely wrong about the pricing. $2700 for a NP chest. Really hope no one redeems anything at those prices. Also very sketchy - PWI reduced the amount of lvl 4 glyphs you get from 5 to 1. Really seems we are going backwards here. At what point will even the whales finally say "enough" and give PWI a big fat…

This has been posted before. PWI has the ability to suspend spending limits during certain promos, and I'm pretty sure it will be removed for this one. If not, a lot of people are going to get massively trolled. Not that it would really matter to more than a couple people...I'm expecting at least a 1200 zen price on the NP…

We won't really have access to lvl 8 glyphs until PWI starts handing out lvl 7's via charge/spend rewards. 99.9% of players will still be stopping at lvl 5/6.

*Grand Commander's Orders have been removed from the Treasures system. Creation Stones has been added in their place. Those were in the patch notes, so yes it's a direct replacement

They aren't announcing winners, just sending the prizes out a few days after the event ends. I guess we will just have to take PWI's word that prizes are being sent out.

Raffles in PWI take a lot of time. You should know this by now if you've been playing the game. Just be patient - I'd say give it at least a year. After that you should start worrying.

How exactly did you test this? The last time I asked someone who opened 1000+ keys she reported seeing 4 goldfoil:eon ores and 8 goldfoil spirits (note - that doesn't mean she actually got them, just saw them). I don't recall eon foils being in the keys originally, so the other foil drop rates may have been lowered as a…

They think this is somehow going to increase their revenue. All they really needed to do was remove the foils and the economy would be able to handle itself, especially with the recently implemented coin sinks. I can say that I was very tempted to take advantage of the current charge rewards until I saw the keys back on…

So SoT/Matchless are roughly double the price in CN compared to Dawnglory. That's actually lower than I thought it would be, which makes me wonder if they have other ways of obtaining wings besides just packs. The issue is that if astral orbs are 20 gold/50 on both CN and PWI...it makes it less attractive in PWI because…

Almost all the coins present right now in player's hands was derived from extremely cheap pack + key sales. I'd be willing to bet pack items like Matchless wings or Scroll of Tome are almost impossible to get there, even with coins at 1 million/gold. Meanwhile every player in PWI can get their hands on a matchless because…

Still doesn't make a difference for me...I would rather have astral orbs at 10 gold/50 and 5 mil gold than 50 gold/50 with 1m gold. I know most people consider it the same price but it's a massive difference to me, when taking into account other factors.

@"kalystconquerer#0876" Can we at least get a better price/sale this week? Don't understand what the point of doubling prices are since casuals don't even care about the orbs so atm it just seems like PWI is trying to squeeze the endgame players. Also @saxroll I would care about paying 20 gold/50 orbs even if gold was at…

I recall it being fairly constant but it was changed in some recent update, I think during the Arigora arena update. Not exactly sure why it was changed. But yeah, not really worth testing for myself at this point since I doubt it would be fixed.

Considering the history of PWI, I'd say it's a 50/50 chance of two scenarios: 1- Random employee just fat-fingered the number 20, said "delete button is 4 loser lols" and threw it up there for sale OR 2- China realized that 10 gold/50 orbs were damaging the longevity of the game, raised it to 1000 gold/50, and PWE somehow…

Everything you listed was caused by PWE, not anything the devs did. Also I'm sure if they had the time they would have designed an entirely new "ok" option box with fancy new graphics, but why waste time on that when they could instead be designing ways to make sin/DB as OP as possible?

IDK about useless. I would be willing to pay good money to hear the duke shout "Let it be known that ETERNITY has been slain by a member of Crisis!" spammed in world chat multiple times. Unfortunately I think if we declared a war both factions would just camp SZ for two hours.

MMO's don't die as long as there are people that play them and they're profitable. Plus this game is still doing good in China. It's also, surprisingly, one of PWI's bigger money-makers. Look at games like Everquest or Ultima Online, or runescape. Some of those games are going on 20 years and still alive. I'd be willing to…

I agree that it's definitely become harder for a pure f2p player to play the game, but it's also become a lot easier for people who spend a nominal amount - say, $15/month - to progress to decent, even competitive gear levels. Only caveat to this is that when I say "a lot easier", I mean it will still take at least a year…

So the game is dying because people don't want to join a trap party where the leader is spamming chat in all caps begging for a carry?

^ what happens when whiners are fed a massive spoonful of logic. But yeah...perfect stones for coins was a really good idea, despite the fact that it killed the income for some stone farmers. The upcoming carnival expansion also seems to be a huge coin sink, though it would depend on how many coins you can trade in daily…

The rank restrictions are in there to promote people spending extra money to power up and get that rank. Once all the whales with super-high gear get their exclusive rank 2000+ gears, PWI will open up the gears to be obtained by the rest of the population by relaxing rank requirements. This kind of cycle has been in here…

Doing BH once/day then logging off doesn't really count as playing the game. Farming the endgame instances + homestead + BH you can make 12m+/day easily...all you need is ~+10 warsoul wep or be a seeker/SB/veno/bm/mystic/DB...you just need to REALLY PLAY THE GAME. If you want cheap coins wait for sochi pack sales to come…

PWI top-end gears have always been extremely restrictive when first released. It's almost guaranteed that there will be CS/spend rewards related to arigora coins, as well as more sources. Possibly even as soon as black friday/christmas sales, though I'd bank more on G17r3-5 becoming meta. Lvl 7 glyphs will also eventually…
