Hi, I've been browsing the forums while waiting to download the client and I've come up with some questions. Sorry if these have been asked before, I tried looking ^.^;;.

First, I was once a player on the English Malaysia version, but quit some time ago. I searched for any posts listing major differences between this version and that, but didn't find anything really informative. So...

1. Are there any major gameplay differences between International and Malaysia? I noticed there are PvE servers which is one change.

2. How bad is the botting? They were a plague in the Malaysia version from what I remembered. In the cities, the chat got spammed by bot run advertisers (new ones every 6 or so hours so even the ignore feature wasn't effective against them), and just about every popular hunting area had it's fair share of werefox bots.

3. Are there any major bugs? If there are, are there devs actively working on them... or does the staff also have to wait for patches out of China? The ones that come to mind are the forest run event exploit, and the (semi)invincible flying pet exploit.

Thanks to all in advance. ^.^

    Ah, well.. goodo.

    The low down is that it's still the same game, but you already knew that of course.

    The difference is the management. All the old bugs are still possible, except over here they're quite severely punishable.

    Also, the GMs are a lot more active. They come down on botters harder than a grammar **** comes down on an illiterate black **** Jewish gypsy (Please don't kill me for this analogy, all you nice mods. Simply remove it instead b:surrender).

    The upside is basically that PW-I is much better managed, and in-game prices are a lot more reasonable. There's no gold selling, which has done absolute wonders. The downside is that it's more expensive in terms of real cash, if you're a cash shopper.

    Also, it's a lot more carebear, bunnyhuggerish here. The division between PvE and PvP servers is annoying. If you go white named on a PvE server, expect you get absolutely ravaged. Also expect to get PKd on Lost City a lot more than you ever would on PW-MY.
    Everyone here is ridiculously oversensitive.
