It's absolutely unaceptable that the servers stay shut down for so long. The problem is that it is more imprtant to make money with the players than to get a good technical support. If this goes on I shall uninstall the game.
That's what happens when you run a game under liscence, instead of beign the developper/owner of the game.
PWI runs servers, but all the coding change is made in China by the company owning the game, Bejing PW co.
And since they shut down the servers when it was still night in China....[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Is this happening to everyone?
Also, where the news page should appear I get a 'page not found', but this time it doesn't change.

I don't know whether this will help or not, but perhaps if as a whole we speak to the GMs with a bit more mellifluity, rather than animosity, they might be more willing to convey to us more details as to what the problems which have occurred might be.
While I understand from their statements that they cannot tell us things until the programmers tell them; they should be more than capable of telling us what types of bugs were reported that led up to the necessity of the emergency maintenance to begin with. That would allow those of us who do have the patience to wait, to at least have some semblance of understanding as to what caused it and perhaps why it is taking as long as it is to repair.

"I refer to your latest discharge of plebeian verbiage; in which, you have proven, once again, that there is no such thing as unutterable nonsense. How about putting that into proper syntax, form, and grammar so that I can at least understand what you are saying before I dismiss it?
It seems your fingers not only did your typing, but did your thinking too. Have you considered suing your brain for non-support? If you're going to say something that ignorant, you could at least fake a stroke. Well, you're certainly thoughtless; I just wish that you were keyboard-less, too. You bring to mind a quote from Josh Billing: "Doesn't know much, but leads the league in nostril hair."
You are a bore, and a very dull one at that. Is there anything I need to know about you other than your a grungy social outcast? Maybe you wouldn't come across as such a jellyfish-sucking mental midget if you weren't so stupid that even single-celled organisms out score you in IQ tests; if your weren't so fat that the Brooklyn Bridge would collapse if you ever tried to go Bungee Jumping off of it, or if your face wasn't the strongest form of natural contraception available. Nah, of course you would."
Wow! You should write books! I am surprised at how someone actually knows and uses proper punctuation and grammer. If you write a book, I will be the first to buy! A very good argument. I think that would leave anyone speechless. b:victory0 -
Speaking as an IT manager with over 20 years experience, the solution to this "little quandry" should be quite simple. Any company worth thier salt performs nightly server backups....especially prior to an update. Now granted, I don't know how PWE does things since they obviously didn't implement any change control procedures to insure that the patch was ready to go prior to implementation, but if they did thier server backups, just export all transactions logs for reference, then restore the backup performed prior to last night's patch implementation.
The transaction logs will show who purchased zhen gold and allow those players to get thier zhen gold back, which they could then sell or use as they see fit (minus the ability to exploit). Those who played and gained levels and such, well the game is played to be fun....just re-play the portion you've done since the patch. In fact, the quests and such should be a bit simpler as you will have already done them once before and will know what to expect. Also by restoring to a pre-patch state, any items you purchased from other players will revert back to the origional owner just as your game coin that you paid will revert back into your account.
QQ all you want but the only way to insure that the in-game economy remains stable is to rollback to a pre-patch condition.
If you don't realize that the old server version would be incompatible with our upgraded clients, then you aren't a very good IT manager.0 -

I would like to say get a life really and stop your pipe dreams!!
I so love seeing people going emo over a game b:chuckle more please cause I think this is more entertaining then Perfect World itself!
you be surprised what people sue over and win over XD
People use to sell "in game items" from Diablo 2 for real cash on ebay, and some guy didn't get his item and Sued for it and won. I mean Diablo 2 didn't even have any way to use real money for anything. but the guy payed over 1k real money for an in game item.0 -

Arynnamage, Im not gonna really bother cuz you editted your post earlier telling us that CASHOP ITEMS WERE EXPLOITED sorry..
Im pretty tired of the excuses..GMs should listen to PLAYER's ticketing and do something about it..If they play themselves to test stuff out..Cool..Why so many common glitchs still around?
Good stuff b:pleased
I appreciate that post Panda, Im not here to offend GMs or have some cult against ya'll. I just dont see it fair that TWO Gm's voted NO On a Roll back, Practically told us that we wont get a 17hr roll back. It's starting to annoy me alot now, I think roll back is the fairest scenerio. As GM's you can certainly Vote No because your making money off this, and you'll possiably lose money if a Roll back.. Correct?0 -

(Copied from my post in tech support forum)
A simple DB backup upload will probably tick off more people with their level loss and/or money loss in-game. I'm pretty sure the PWE tech would rather just fix the glitches and fix the money issues so that they can get their new patch out on time (since it's a bit harder to revert everyone's clients back to an older patch, rather than just fixing the problems and letting everyone back in where they left off). I mean, if they weren't attempting to rather fix the issue than revert to an old backup, then we'd all be playing again right now.Sig options = fail.

I'd also like to thank darth for the post on the page 31. Interesting that your avatars say "GM," though... shouldn't your avatars say something else to avoid confusion? o.o
Also, first person to quote this post gets a cookie! (Not really, I'm just seeing if anyone will even notice it since we seem to be going about a page every couple of minutes right now XD)[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Yes, I'm still a stubborn holdout in favor of the old game. Haters gonna hate. ;]

I must admit that is crazy! Can you imagine all the minds out there racing on how to scam the justice system? *Locks doors and windows* It takes a criminal mind to commit a crime though! I just don't like seeing people make a huge deal over something like this bug. I have spent well over too much money on a free to play game, but you don't see me go and say I will quit and sue. Anything over $500.00 is a felony. If everyone of us took PWE to court they would be bankrupt b:shocked But I am sure there is a disclaimer somewhere about us spending real money on the game and how they are not responsible for anything that might happen. Companys do have a way to cover their rear ends![SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
