    Implement a way to transfer our PWI character to PWBR or any of the other active pw servers. This version is baked

    Better would be to implement "the real" version here. People would come back from P Servers etc. if the improvements were made.

    Unfortunately, merge servers is no longer possible due to time zone of each region. Currently some regions already can't attend some events due to time zone and with another merge it will end up with more pissed/quit players than active game.

    If merging more servers is not possible then game will die as there are so few players, takes forever to fill squads.

    Let's say merge happened and game decided to pick random time for TW/NW and so on . If time fits for Europe then 50% or 75% of current USA players will end up leaving or the opposite. So yes merge can't happen at this point. If players/community really care to keep game running then best to do is bring friends/family and so on into this game.

    XNW and XTW already are on European time. On TT server 90% runs are made in the mornings to early afternoon. We have people from all over the world playing on our server as it is. Yes some will leave but, last last merge many people left out of anger about no forced white name and animosity between servers. This game is not new user friendly, it's getting the people that left out of frustration to come back. If enough people are on server from all time zones there won't be times server is dead. Events could be all day or at multiple times so all get a chance.

    I understand your point of view but sorry it just can't happen. Merge has been discussed already long ago.

    Yes in China they merged 15 server into 6 servers, they launched a new server and maintained an old server so now they have 8 servers at total, but for the International version there's no info about it and no connection, Gearbox is the one that runs PWI , China has no business about this kind of thing, for example when PWBR merged the servers it was made because the Brazilian publisher decided, the chinese don't follow what happens in the servers worldwide, they just care about the game in their region and send update patches and fixes to other countries

    Sorry I should have asked for the source pwi will merge.

    As it says it will happen.

    From the information I have its down to pwe to decide on this and is not something CN set. The problem is pwi is designed to run with 4 servers. Granted it's possible you can run 1 server pwcn would have to agree that and with current setup that's not something I would like to call.

    Thanks.

    Yes, in PWBR we actually have 2 servers todays, this kind of thing requires the publisher talks to the chinese developers to make this happen, however the decision started from the publisher. There was a lot of buzz when that happened because of NW but in the end it happened, I believe the same can be done in the international version however here because of the time zones I think it's more complicated however it's up to PWE/Gearbox evaluate, one thing is for sure, it's not impossible.

    Out of interest how active are pwbr GMs?

    I'm not against it but merging an international version 1 server is going to have to go eu possibly... At the moment I don't think that's the answer but possible yes.

    Thanks.

    Make a complete new server that brings back the old pw (with only 3 races).
    TT99 gold armor and warsoul weapons as end gear...

    That woud new people and old pw gamers like.

    Because now pay to win is to much part of the game, its not even fun anymore.
    New instances are to difficult for most users let alone new users...

    Just bring back the first version of pw, were we need to make a good balanced team to do tt3-3 instead of soloing it in 10min or less like we do these days.

    Start all over again with 0 bugs....

    Those were the days :)

    No need for r8 or r9 gear.
    No reawakenings and vitae.
    No glyphs or codex stuff...

    Just oldschool pve and pvp.

    Warsong and Quicksandmaze can be added in the future if the people want.
    But only the mainland instances no other world maps for this server.

    Just keep it simple!

    If they can do that, make a international pw classic server. (Blademaster, Wizard, Archer, Cleric, Barbarian and Venomancer)
    I woud play it everyday!

    instead of this g18 and other stuff they keep inventing...
    Just basic, that i and maybe others will like !

    I really hope you can pitch this in heero !

    Again merge is not going to happen. Problem people compare pwi to pwcn. 1st pwcn is literally works for China and not for the entire world means people who play it from there are same time zone or similar while pwi is for entire world. So even if China did merge time zone won't be an issue for them like pwi. So No don't keep your hope too high 😆

    In game we don't see GMs however we have an official discord where we can talk to the GM responsable for the game content and some CMs, thanks to this contact many things changed, for example our event gold boutique, it's really good. In the past we diddn't have this bond to them and we had no events, since this connections became better we asked for many things like boutique items and events, so we started getting all chinese Events, all codex items come to the boutique(mounts, fash, etc) and when some events have some problem the GM mentioned above enters the game and manually activates the things, this happened to activate the Archosaur Warsong Last Boss and the annual animal(tiger, monkey, ox, etc) They also bring the newest packs of both pwi and pwru to us and they make promos giving things like NR materials(so many people here have the conduit with maximum attributes), G17 materials and recently Dragon Scales to cashers make their G18 weapons

    There's another thing I think is interesting and in PWRU is present too, content creators can have a partenrship with the publisher and get some game items and gold monthly and have access to the test server (I had access to this some time ago) they have a "master class" thing too that is basically one guy of each class that answers people who have doubt of that class in the discord, they and discord mods get some monthly gold too, all these things would be interesting to bring to pwi

    Here's just an example of some pages of the event gold boutique

    Im still waiting feedback on most of the questions. I have had some feedback and im being asked about this one a lot so I feel I should give some information.

    Asked.
    8. We are further behind on updates than we have ever been, do we have any news when the next updates will hit as PWCN / PWRU and PWBR have had there’s for a while?

    Answer.
    In short we will be getting an update, Ive been told more info should be given on this soon. From what I understand we wont have to wait to much longer.

    I Will update when I have full info on the rest of the questions.

    Thanks.

    I bet come 2024 we'd still be waiting for the answers. We're okay with the "initial feedback" (I know I am) if it takes forever for them to answer "the rest of the questions." It's been 3 months.

    But as always thank you for providing an insight for the upcoming update. Hopefully it's mid/late November or December.

    I second this. Any progress on the qeustions is better than no progress.
