Hey guys, I started PW during the open beta and go to around lv20 archer before i quit because i didn't like the movements in game. But now i want to give PW another try because almost everyone seems to love it.

So i have some questions:
1) How's the community for PW International now? Are the servers populated?
2) HOW CASH SHOP DEPENDENT IS THIS GAME? Perhaps the most important question. How necessary are the items for game play? I'm going blademaster...so i'm wondering if any cash shop items are TOO useful, making the player Overpowered.
3) which server should i join? Basically, which sever is the most populous, which is the least?
4) Are the GMs active? Bots? hackers?
5) What is "endgame" for PW international? I quit cabal online because there's literally no endgame, only an impossible to reach level cap.
6) Leveling exp bad? Is this a real grind?
7) How's the economy? Will new players be able to afford anything?
8) Lastly, how come last time i played, I couldn't see anyone else's customized characters? I just saw a template character for all males, and another for females.

blade master question
9) Are 1hand sword blade masters good? Can any blade master use any skill despite weapons? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using only one sword?

10) also, sorry, as a side note: are there lots of PK happenings in this game? Pk's fun for me, so i'd like to be able to do that.



THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS!

    Do not post on multiple threads the same thing. It is called spamming.

    1) How's the community for PW International now? Are the servers populated?
    it's not all that bad, people are, for the most part, friendly.
    2) HOW CASH SHOP DEPENDENT IS THIS GAME? Perhaps the most important question. How necessary are the items for game play? I'm going blademaster...so i'm wondering if any cash shop items are TOO useful, making the player Overpowered.
    nothing in the CS gives players an uber advantage, it's just nice to use for eaiser acess to mats and mounts.
    3) which server should i join? Basically, which sever is the most populous, which is the least?
    well that depends, do you want a pvp server or a pve server? if pvp then join the only pvp server there is, if pve, then you have a choice between the two, Sanctuary (my server) is the newest
    4) Are the GMs active? Bots? hackers?
    Gms are pretty active, especially on the forums, no bots or hackers as far as i can tell
    5) What is "endgame" for PW international? I quit cabal online because there's literally no endgame, only an impossible to reach level cap.
    the max lvl is 105, but people say end game is like 80-90+ where pvp becomes for rizzels
    6) Leveling exp bad? Is this a real grind?
    exp aint that bad, lvling 1-35 is easy, all quests, then 36+ is quests+grind, but there are dailys
    7) How's the economy? Will new players be able to afford anything?
    seeing s Sanctuary is the newest server, the economy is pretty stable (like 1-2mil for a mount)
    8) Lastly, how come last time i played, I couldn't see anyone else's customized characters? I just saw a template character for all males, and another for females.
    probably because it was beta version, now you can see how everyone looks like

    blade master question
    9) Are 1hand sword blade masters good? Can any blade master use any skill despite weapons? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using only one sword?
    i personally use a fist, but one handed sword is faster and weaker then dual swords, most people go dual swords because if you go single sword, you might as well go fist.

    10) also, sorry, as a side note: are there lots of PK happenings in this game? Pk's fun for me, so i'd like to be able to do that.
    if you play on a pvp server, but you'll most likely get wrecked early on


    Answers are in bold :3

    thanks, so which server is the most populated?

    And is this more of a PVE game? I like PK, but it's not essential.
