hEy! When is etherblades opening lol? - New Servers Announcement

Hidden - Lost City

It definately tempting to play a new server. I knew nothing about perfect world when i started here, but have gained so much knowledge in such a short time that makes me wish i could have started over and done things different.

Just imagine with so many new things open, first to rush to 60(or was it 40? forgot.) gets rich off cube. First to get a decent level wins championship scrolls and gets warsoul accesseries. First decent veno's with herc get rich off HH. Then theres other little things hardly anyone knows about, combined with a new server = no competition and get rich.

Also TW's will be fun once again, at least until major guilds appear. Will be so much easier to take land early on too, since veno's can buy themselfs a herc on the first day.

Only downside is Lost City will probably die off slowly. As someone said most people just assume CQ's too hard to beat. Levels are free, only ones who feel bound to the server are those who have spent lots of money, or those who put in alot of effort to upgrade/obtain decent items and they tend to be in the guilds who already have alot of lands. Rest have nothing to lose and everything to gain by trying out the new server.

New PvP server here I come. ^__^

Hell yea!!!! I'll be frank about this,I never expected you guys to actually do this and on such short notice too.My hat's off to you for this. Finnally no more stupid ppl that only know pking in sp (NWO guild) and then safely go blue named and grind >< . I don't care if I won't grind in peace and will die allot and sp will still be a major pk spot ,as long as no1's safe to just trash talk and then hide behind a blue name ,even if they trash talk more on pvp servers at least NO1 is safe *evil laugh*.
And btw:

If they give transfer options......that would be really PERFECT.

Heck no, the whole point of a new fresh server is totally RUINED if they do this.This is what players r mostly wanting : a new chance to rise to the top and not get constantly rapped by higher lvls as I heard from reliable sources it happen's in LC(tho I never played there).How much do you think a pvp server will fill alot for? After the 2 months there will already be ALLOT less ppl joining it ,heck,it might be even sooner while it'll get really filled up in the 1st month xD .
It'll be so funny no1 being able to do fbs at they'r lvl ,culti bosses,I'm already picturing the 1st tws(never did a pve tw before) and the 1st DT lololol(I wonder how will ppl kill the guards:P).If they give transfer option all of this is gone to waste making it totally IMPERFECT b:sad

Hopping to meet new ppl,make new friends and even better to meet more ppl from sanctuary regretting they didn't go on LC when they had the chance and are very fond of pvp.See you guys there in 1-2 weeks b:victory

Saint_drake - Heavens Tear

if you want to give european players a treat make those daily/weekly events on a sensible time, moved from gmt-8 to gmt-5? Great! TW and everything else will now be at 2am instead of 5am, OY WAKE UP, don't just expect us to do so in wild times.

sotsf

Welcoming this news, but to cut the competition on new servers... b:sweat

It won't have Christmas blessings and other event items that previous server currently have b:cute
Don't correct me if I am wrong here b:surrender

Zoe - Heavens Tear

The point of new servers is to take care of the population problem on the current ones. NOT so you greedy punks can rush to the top and dominate them.

It would only be fair for them to do a server transfer in the case of time zones and in that case only. If it was even possible to begin with.

Xrockstar - Sanctuary

i just started (so is my girlfriend i made her play XD) T.T now im from new york is there a way i can transfer my character into this new server? im lagging a little on the server sanctuary right now (on places where nobody are but lagging like crazy in etherblade town)T.T we just started so is there maybe a way for us to transfer our character? shes only lvl 8 and im 16 i just dont want to start over and later on when i do faction ill be lagging like crazy

Darkhawkclaw - Heavens Tear

is it possible to allow some higher lvls to move their character to new servers, seems if a limited number was allowed to move that would help alleviate some congestion on the current servers. not that some wont move already, but theres also some of us who are up in the 70's that would like to be on a east coast server with local time.

That's the question. I know I would want to move so I can get events and such based in my own time zone for once. I don't care about trying to dominate the server I level slow for a reason. We just have to wait and see if a transfer is even possible at all.

Xrockstar - Sanctuary

lol what about my needs XD well its up to gm i guess when they said we should expect for the new server to be within in 1-2 weeks is that mean the release date or its going to be open? lol dont whip me

Ayano-chan - Sanctuary

Lol you guys don't get it do you? I'll repeat myself:TRANSFERING OTHER CHARACTERS SUCH AS HIGH LVLS OR ANY LVLS TO A NEW SERVER WILL RUIN OVER 50% OF IT'S GOAL.How can any1 have a chance to rise to the top if a server transfer would be possible? Can you imagine every1 like switching servers ? Hell yea we'll I prefered to be in Lost City since some weeks ago with my 78 wiz,but that's wrong; ESPECIALLY for a new server ruining most of it's joy,allowing exceptions aren't an option;can you imagine what other players would say if they saw some ppl got a character transfer ,while they coudn't do it? A total riot and spammage and complains on forums that's what would happen.
Best they could do would be to make weekly events at a better hour suitable for east/EU,yes I totally agree on that ,but this is not a reason to transfer characters >< .

Zoe - Heavens Tear

Sounds like you are mad because you can't simply try to dominate a new server if there are transferrs. Now you are just being greedy.

Also lets not forget, they may not even be possible to begin with.

Shaye - Lost City

Is wanting to dominate such a bad goal? Everyone's being selfish and thinking their idea is better than everyone else's. Really, it's not even up to us, so why are people getting so PMSy about it?

Look at it this way. PWE is a company. Making money is their main goal. A new server without transfers would really get hype up for the game. A thousand "greedy, domination-hungry" twelve year olds will beg their mommies and daddies to charge zen for them on the day of server opening, so they can CONQUER ALL. It gets people excited and gives new players -- new customers! -- a chance to make a name for themselves. The old, crusty farts who are sick of lag and bad guild politics on the existing server also have a chance for a fresh start. If half the servers change over to the new ones, it leaves the old ones crumbling even more and makes the new server seem less... well, new. I for one, wouldn't want to escape Lost City only to find the entire map red again.

tsk im not even going to make a new character just becuase of timezone it might just give a little difference a little lag i rather stay with the character i made if theres no transfer XD theres no point if ur already a high lvl

Servers will be located on the East Coast of the United States. The NY/New Jersey area to be exact. These new servers will also be set to East Coast time (GMT +5) so depending on your preferences the scheduling here may be exactly what you've been looking for. If you are currently playing from the East Coast of the United States or Europe then you will most likely have a stronger connection to these two new servers over the original three.

1. We've heard your concerns and we aim to please.

That would have been good if you did that from the start.

Currently I'm level 90 (soon, level 91). Many others also have high level chars on either of the 3 existing servers, have invested a lot of time and money on our current chars. I doubt any of us will go and start anew on the new server.

If you don't offer a way to transfert our chars to the new servers, it's totally useless for the majority of the current players from the East Coast and Europe.

Another failure of PWI, answering our concerns months too late b:spit

Lirgorn - Heavens Tear

I would rather it be no transfer... (puts on flame suit)

If players can be transfered it will just mean there will be one or 2 big guilds of high levels on each server. Would be worse than CQs dominance of LC (with BLT thrown on the side) or Rad on HT (now RoC have gone they gona run the place lol). Defeats the point of the TW system and will not make for a popular server.

If high levels make new chars they can still "rise to the top" they will just have to start where everyone else does. Its not like they will have no advantage, you know what your doing, you know what char you really want to make etc. Its not exactly hard, you can be 4X in 3-4days lol.

So anyways what guilds/groups are moving over? If i go im gona need a new home :P

Xrockstar - Sanctuary

yes transfer XD its supposed to be for people on east coast they should allow people on the east coast to transfer and people on the west coast to not transfer becuase this is for players in the east coast it would make since for them to let us transfer to our timezone

Its for reasons like this that TW should be disabled until much of the server is high enough level to handle it. To prevent any possibly transferred characters from taking over.

I would also propose a very limited number of items a character has be able to be transferred, and all refinements go back to +0, also, no coins can be transferred. Try to make it as fair as possible for the new characters.

Starang - Lost City

What a joke. GG GMs.

Oh btw, stfu Zoe, all you do is whine. There will NEVER EVER be a possibility to transfer your carebear status into the new pvp server, deal with it.

Solarplex - Sanctuary

No coin transfer!?
How would you expect someone who is 9x and isn't a veno to manage that, some, maybe most classes need charms at that level to even think about solo grinding, archers need arrows, barbs need to pay their insane repair bills, that just would not work.

I don't give a **** about a pvp server. Learn to read there are 2 new servers and one is pve.

Nice to see PWI is growing well enough to add more servers.

Bad thing is,that you are letting down every european and non-north american player with this decision.

Since closed beta PWI promised to adjust the times of events to suit better also european players. Never was it mentioned that it will be a whole different server to cater for them.
Now those players have to throw away half a year of work on their accounts to get better time's for events that you promised. Thats pretty high price,dont you think?

I have to agree,this is part good and bad decision. Easy fix is to adjust the time's on the existing servers too.

And also, no to character transfers,that destroys the whole idea of a new server. Better idea is to adjust the time's on existing servers.

Oh well, gotten used to the early awakenings for some events allready,so wont be moving,i can live with them.

Still if say for example a group of 100 "high" levels transfer from LC to the new PvP server. They can each bring 5 items (so they take wep armor etc). Now these players are about 5-6months ahead on leveling. So by the time a guild hits 6/7X+ and is able to start to TW this guild of transfers will have another 5 levels and most there equipment back. That guild (transfer guild) will also be the most appealing to the new players so many will go there soon as there 6x+ this will mean it could take upwards of 4 months for a guild to have enough numbers to even think of going into TW against the transfer guild. No matter what the transfers will always have a huge advantage which is damaging to game play.

Junon - Heavens Tear

A transfer definitely won't happen, I don't know why you guys are even arguing about it. One fact that proves that a transfer won't happen is because two people can't have the same name. If they implemented a transfer system into the game then that means more changes will have to be made. Hell they'd even have to adjust the forums as well since our avatars are linked to our characters. No one is stopping you guys from playing the characters you already spent time and money on.

Ah, I have an idea. All transferred characters have their levels reduced by half and be unable to do any of the old quests because after all, they already did them. That would help out the new characters quite a bit. I'd lose a ton of levels myself that way.

@Junon, that may be the reason the servers will not open for a couple of weeks. Of course though, we players have no idea if this will be possible. Only the GMs know and as of right now, they aren't talking.

You can have the same character name on different servers. And I really don't experience much lag on LC, so I see no reason to switch. The only thing beneficial to me would be better TW time, but I kinda liked fighting in PST time, lol.

Lol Zoe...wouldnt it just be easyer to make a new char...your be level 40 in a week at the absolute max :P

Anyways ya i agree Junon, it wont happen :P

I could get my equipment back even if I could not take it with me but I don't want to lose my hercules, or my rep.
