    @kalystconquerer#0876 Why can you not just give us what the situation is? What do you suspect is the problem or whats happened?

    Instead of keeping the players in the dark like you always do, this seems serious enough for us to be at least told whats happening. If it turns out peoples credit card info, billing addresses etc have been taken, it's best to tell us now instead of later.

    Were the ones who keep the game going and keep you getting paid so at least keep us in the know.

    This pissed off everyone that plays great work pwi most of us are 9 years vets of the game

    and we lnow you people don't care so sad

    I don’t know why pwi implements these kind of changes with little to no warning...

    I was debating about spending some of my tax return on this game to finish JOSD but I think it’s just a sign that it’s time to move on.

    Thanks for the 6 years pwi and I’ve heard WoW is doing pretty good now.

    Hi kalystconquerer,

    I did not notice that you would conduct an emergent maintainence yesterday. Friday night is the only free time I have every week, so I farmed TT 3-3. After I set my assassin at auto-cultivation on the last BOSS, I went to brush my teeth. When I came back, I found that I was disconnected from the server and there were lots of green mats and one golden mat on the ground. My assassin was just standing by...
    So sad for the time...

    Give all Players a weekly free code like Jones for the Commisionshop. 1Clientpolitic wins!
    Ah...and repair the function that when arc closed, all clients close XD

    I am curious, are you guys intentionally trying to find ways to drive ppl away and in process kill rest of the playerbase left?

    it certainly seems like that.

    Alright so let me get this right in under 24 hours this nearly has as many posts as the “Updates and changes coming to PWI” forum, which has been up for nearly 4 months.

    I don’t think PWI has yet to realize the impact this has had on the player base... I mean come on actually play the game like most of your community mods do and see what needs to be done, aka remove dailes and add bloods to something like mysterious merchant, buff free to play content if you are going to promote this game as free to play rather than pay to win.
    The free to play component of this game has been completely removed and it’s just legitimately became pay to play now.

    I'm going to be monitoring the progress of the maintenance now and then checking when the fix goes live. I'll come back tomorrow to address any replies I missed during this time and then (plus, I'll have to be on tomorrow anyways to run Scholarly Challenge). As always, be sure to be respectful of each other and keep the criticisms constructive and meaningful. We'll be collecting all this feedback and seeing what actionables are available for us to take, not just for now but in the future.

    Of the topics of interest I'd like to collect information on will be the following -
    1) Suggested Number of Multi-client Options
    2) Arc Platform Improvements (such as exclusives, meaningful content etc.)*



    * Please note on Arc Platform Improvements these will mostly be things like - making items/packs/content to give for being in the Arc ecosystem and seeing what sorts of features are in CN's platform. I am aware there are very extensive programs and scripts that will most likely NOT be in Arc, which includes things like the "Perfect Helper".

    This is a very harrowing and difficult situation for everyone involved and I hope we can not only come to a speedy resolution, but turn the overall Arc experience into something positive for users going forward.

    1) Unlimited
    2) Make it how it was before (02.07 update) plus ban only violaters without causing inconvenience to other players.

    Why is the company making it difficult to play the game on any decent level. Yes I understand the safety aspect, fraudulent behaviour etc but a game of this age shouldn't be this faulty. Seems with every update it breaks or removes more than it adds. The recent update what has it added? Some crappy funfair that will only be open at certain times that no one wanted or needs. It breaks multiclienting, broken questlines, foreclosed factionbases and pissing off an already dwindling playerbase. I get the sense PWI is deliberately antagonising it's players in order to get them to quit and they can quietly shut down an aging title they can't be arsed doing proper content for anymore.

    especially since those bases had to be paid for by faction members own coins. its like buying a piece of gear and then pwi saying "oh we are gonna take this from you now".

    so how can u start a 2nd client via arc?

    in short:
    1. start Arc for the first account
    2. start PWI
    3. open taskmanager
    4. close Arc update (arc chat, arc update, arcosbrowser)
    5. start Arc again; this time for the second account
    6. start PWI

    Voila, one account ready for a catshop and one to play with.
    mmm... think GAMAZON-bots and some other bots will use it to make money lol.

    Interesting point.... though you realize this is also forwarded towards more people cashshopping at least they hope. not 5 catshops = more commision shops so they hope thus more income. so called free to play games are based upon people cashshopping and thus they will do anything to improve that at the cost of people farming and multiclienting for multi catshops. if those leave who cares they werent the cashshoppers anyways.

    Unfortunately, I am a cash shopper.. although maybe not to the extent that I once was and definitely not to the extent that some players are today... I stopped counting many years ago because the total I spent on this game within the first 2 years made me physically ill. Quite frankly, I just didn't want to know the amount after that. So, if this is directed towards cash shopping more and thinking that CSers won't leave they are sorely mistaken. I also have a commission shop mainly for convenience, but I'm aware that the expense monthly is a huge deduction out of any profit margin I may have... I also lost 2 alt accounts because guess what?! After 9 years of playing a game you move, change isps, etc.. things get lost in the shuffle.. People have lives. I probably still have those email accounts too - I've tried before to locate which ones to which account and I couldn't. Does that mean I want to contact PWI support and wait 3 days for a reply just to have them verify who I am even tho I don't even remember what email that account was on? Who has time for this?

    Lmao jesus, what is this clownfiesta, everyone panicking even though the title clearly says its intended to only be temporarily. I'm sure they have a good reason for these changes, and I seriously doubt you can actually no longer log multiple clients... In the past I've always logged multiple clients while still using ARC. I guess the intention here is to stop clientless logging, to run scripts, but who knows... since I'm on Twilight Temple I can tell easily enough if the clientless scipters are no longer logging on, since thats probable where the majority of them are x) But who cares, I'm sure they'll figure it out...

    Ok first off... stop saying it's temporary.... Do you guys forget what that word means to PWI? It means, we'll say temporary for now until people move on and forget about it.. kinda like the DQ drops that were being abused that moved to rewards that were taken away "temporarily" and oh.. wait.. never brought back.. the community moved on.. forgot.. accepted it as it is the way it is now...

    Secondly... "I'm sure they have a good reason for the changes" ??? I'm sorry?? They're not my mommy and daddy and I don't have to just trust their decision. I am a customer.. We are their customers. Game companies seem to forget this fact. If it is truly for security reasons then they need to share those reasons so all of us can be protected. They don't have to tell us how it's being done or even exactly WHAT is being done.. but "suspicious activity" is not enough of a reason for a disruption like this.

    the pwi team do not understand what they are doing and they have killed this game all for the money , they have banned people from servers that did nothing wrong and have been play the game by their rules. So i find it hard that they have anyone else to "watch out for" suspicious or not they just go and ban people willy nilly for no reason ..... will these people ever be able to play again after this whole thing is figured out anyway or will their hard work from farming in this almost impossible to farm game just be for nothing ?​​

    I understand what you're saying... I've seen it.. heard about it... in 9 years I've seen people banned for less which is what is making me think there is more to this whole thing than what they are telling us. I think beyond it all that is what makes me nervous. That is what is making me upset about this - after 9 years they think a blanket statement will be enough and we'll just go on.

    If there was a security breach (which is kind of the theory I'm leaning towards after seeing multiple reminders to reset passwordss frequently, etc).. then they should tell the community so we can change emails, passwords, up our own security.. Not just trust that a company, that obviously already had an intrustion (if that is the case), is worried about our security instead of their bottom line...

    Walking through West Arch is currently stomach-churning...

    I can only hope they can fix this... fast.. and not "soon" - we all know how that works out.
