Hello hello!
We wanted to get the expansion released tonight, but there are still a few things that need to be polished. For this reason we will be having our maintenance tomorrow to ensure a smoother release of the expansion.
Server maintenance is tomorrow, December 16th, at 9:00pm until 12:00am PST
We apologize for the wait, but from what I've seen so far, it will be worth it!
A lot of features are being added that may not have been announced yet, such as keybindings!
Let's go Rising Tide!

Patch Version 233
Released December 16, 2009
This is a very large patch so we strongly suggest you download the Manual Patch Here:
[217-233] http://pwi-ns.perfectworld.com/patches/manual/ec_patch_217-233.cup
New East Coast Server
-Raging Tide [PVE] East
A new server has opened up! This server is located on the east coast (PST+3).
Expansion: The Rising Tide is upon us!
Beyond the Sea of Reality, an unexplored kingdom awaits you. For thousands of years, the seas have been shrouded in mystery, until now. A new evil has dawned, and as a result, the secrets once concealed by the ocean are now coming to light. The ancient lord of the oceans has risen once again, and the race known as Tideborn faces complete extinction. Will you journey to these lands and explore them as a foreigner, or will you be reborn as a member of the Tideborn, and fight to restore your ancestors' once great empire? What part will you play as the tide rises?
Now Featuring:
- 1 New race from the Forbidden Sea, the mysterious Tideborn.
- 2 New Classes: Assassin and Psychic
- 3 New Zones to explore: Island of Broken Dreams, Barrier Island, and Shattered Cloud Island.
- New high level dungeon: The Palace of Nirvana
- New upgrade system for Twilight Temple and Lunar Glade gear.
Public Quests
09:00 - 22:00 Daily
Public Quests are a new feature in the Rising Tide expansion. They are massive, server-wide quests involving all players in a particular zone, and reward players based on their contribution to the objectives.
If you are at least level 60, you can take the first Public Quest from Pioneer Officer Windshaker at Rotflesh Trench. The other two Public Quests require level 95, and can be received from Scout Captain Rupin at the Blunted Lance Stand or the Tsunami Army Messenger at Shadowtide Camp.
The Public Quests are made up of several parts, and require you to kill a large number of monsters, complete non-combat objectives such as gathering stolen supplies, and finally defeat the leaders of the enemy forces, a task that will require a well-prepared squad to complete. When you receive the quest from the quest giver, you will join whichever quest stage is currently active. The actions of all players on these quests contribute to the total, regardless of whether or not you are in a squad together.
When one quest phase is completed, it will automatically complete and all involved players will receive the next quest. All contributions towards the quest goals are tallied by the server, and can be viewed by clicking the scroll icon on the quest tracking overlay. The rankings are updated approximately once per minute.
Once the final objective of the Public Quest has been completed, the server will take a few minutes to calculate the final rankings and then automatically assigns rewards accordingly. Make sure you have inventory slots open, as you will not be able to acquire your reward if you have insufficient space.
Two minutes after the rewards are given out, the Public Quest will restart. You must stay on Shattered Cloud Island for the entire duration of the quest, or you will fail the quest, lose your ranking, and become ineligible for rewards.
Marriage Quest
Marriage quests are brand new set of daily quests for couples to explore and adventure together! The prerequisites for the quests are as follows:
1 Married Couple in the same squad (no other members allowed).
The squad leader speaks to the Matchmaker Servant in Archosaur (Next to the Eldest Matchmaker).
The couple will receive 1 random quest (out of 7) to do each day. Rewards include Experience and Spirit, Sweet Memory tokens that can be saved up for a mysterious ring pendant, and a Sincerity Pack* that has a chance to win a Baby Crab, Fish, or Lochmur All-Class pet egg!
*Characters must be married in order to open the pack.
Account Stash
Players now have the ability to transfer items and coins between characters on the same account and server with the purchase of an Account Stash Stone. After obtaining the Account Stash Stone, speak to the PW Boutique Agent -> Quest Related. Activate the Account Stash and then speak to the Banker. He will now have an option labeled Account Stash. Drag and drop items, or drop coins in just like a normal Bank
*Some items cannot be exchanged between characters.
Key Binding
A new Key Binding feature is available in the Systems tab or press the “K” key on the keyboard.
Tab Auto-Targeting
Players will now be able to cycle through mobs in front of their character by pressing the “Tab” button. Press the Tab button to cycle through monster targets in front of the character.
Inventory Wrapping
If your inventory slots have been extended, you can switch between traditional view or View all slots at once.
*To expand your inventory slots, purchase the Inventory Extension or Super Inventory stone from the Boutique and turn them into the Banker or Inventory Master respectively.
Bug Fixes:
Halloween Armor, Weapon, and Ornament packs can now be properly redeemed from Jolly Old Jones.
Faction Slogan can now have spaces and punctuation.
Known Issues:
Tournament Agent - Currently this event is under construction. It will be up and running as soon as possible.
Cho Wenchun NPC for the “Once and Again” marriage quest does not appear.
When opening and closing the Key Binding window using only the Key Binding menu icon, the player is unable to use the keyboard for any functions.
Changing the skin color of the Tideborn will only change the body and not the face.
Selecting the new Widescreen button from the systems window will occasionally crash the client.
Merchant Ironox – Blunted Lance Stand – Rewards in the Sample tab cannot be redeemed.
Some localization in the game may not be correct. This will be fixed in the next update朱健诚

Thats why you dont listen to what other people say, and wait for GM's word.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
And when you turn you around, you see yourself on the ground.
And for the first time, no one cares just who you really are.0 -
>.> i demand retribution.... that is the 17th server time.b:angry[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.0 -
