My experiences with PW (post yours too :D)

I'm getting a little older now, so I think I’m going to be playing this game a lot less.
College is around the corner, and I won't have time for this game any more.
So before I go I'd like to state my personal review about this game.
So, what I liked about PW.
1) TW and TW factions.
a. You compete for land on the map against other factions.
b. It was always fun because you were not only in competition with other factions, but also with the people in your guild.
2)Leveling up to 60.
a. I made good friends in my time spent going from lvl 1 to lvl 60. It was fun. Learned all the cool skills. Doesn't take long either.
b. You can usually hit 60 in about a month if you play for a little bit a day. And none of the classes out weigh each other too much, you're always pretty good in PvE as long as you don't make something like a heavy wizard (yes, i have made one.)
3) Skills -
a. The skills list for all characters was always compact and organized. I never felt like I had too many or too few skills to use or learn. Very Balanced. Very Easy.
b. I think this is probably the best part of PW because it takes a lot of confusion out of the game.
4) PvP.
a. Unlike most online games, Perfect world offers a very well balanced PvP experience. From playing for one year on cleric, assassin, B.M., and wizard, I can tell you first hand that ANY class can be PKd by ANY class.
b. There is no such thing as a "Best PvP class." It all comes down to you and your gear. Even PvP squads are well matched. PvP in PW is really a skill based item which cannot be won though buying the best gear. It's all you.
5) Blend - PW has a great blend of ideas and people. It's always entertaining. There's always somewhere to go or something to do in PW.
Dislikes:
1) TW -
a. Usually the more powerful players migrate to the stronger TW factions. There are usually 1-3 of these dominant factions per server.
b. TW pay has also decreased by about 80%(which I didn't really like because I couldn't afford my skills anymore)
2) Leveling past 60.
a. It's one word. Tough. It just takes too much time. the only thing you can really do to Lvl is run some FC (also called FF) runs. And even then you need to buy (with real money) hyper stones.
b. I get that you can't have a 100% free online game like this, but the amount of Hypers you need to go from 80-90 or above with FC runs is a bit much, on top of buying maybe a mount and some wings (while in a recession.)
3) TT gear (HH Gear).
a. This stuff just takes too long to get. TT runs can run anywhere from one to two hours.
b. You need to replace it every ten levels after you hit 60. It would be nice if you invested hours of your life the first go round and just have it, but you'll just have to do this over and over again... I won't even talk about the 90+ gear or the stuff after that.
4) Repetition:
a. Boring. The game gets boring. FC, you kill bosses and mobs for Exp. BH, you kill bosses and mobs for Exp. TT, you kill bosses and mobs for Mats. In the end, it's just doing the same thing and getting a slightly different reward.
b. I think there should be some new events that aren't so flat. Something like a tower defense mini game sort of thing where you're ranked with other people. Just something.
Over all it's a good game, don't get me wrong. It's just I think there is too much time wasted getting virtual gear. And leveling up is either going to cost you a lot of money or time (or both haha)
I did like the game, but it just lost its magic. Anyway. post up your likes/dislikes. or ignore this. haha.

My experience in PWI:
2008: wow this game is amazing! you can fly and everything. everyone is evenly matched and skill is the only decider in a fight! thank goodness there are no pack type things around.
2010: PACKS > economy colapse > Raqequit > Uninstall0 -
2)Leveling up to 60.
b. You can usually hit 60 in about a month if you play for a little bit a day.
Imagine doing that in less than 5 minutes. For free.b:pleased[SIGPIC]http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff122/dart2005/PWI/july05.jpg[/SIGPIC]

@ the part where u suggested being ranked with other people: theres the Celestial Tiger event for that. Infact, theres a lot of events u may not have experienced yet, such as the horse race, tournament, jungle ruins, etc, which dont require you to kill mobs/bosses. tiger event u do kill bosses, but you are ranked against other players, like i said before.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

My life-span in PWI
Warning: It gets long so don't tl;dr on me please.
June of 2009:
Nice, calm, refreshing.
WC was happy,
Drama was low key,
When you leveled it made you smile.
July of 2009:
Wedding packs are on sale!
Wow, there are such things as sales?
That is so neat!
September of 2009:
Anniversary Packs are in.
[Enter word here], everyone I know is quitting.
By the 3rd day of the anni packs, already 1/3 of my friends quit.
QQ everywhere of CSing.
Drama everywhere.
Did I mention the change of WC?
December of 2009:
New server,
Oh [enter word here]
Complaints, complaints, complaints.
I start the new server as an escape from Harshlands.
Yay! I joined Infamy at level 7.
Its a great faction and I'm happy.
January of 2010:
I'm starting to get stressed out from the game.
The faction level requirements only keep getting higher and higher.
I CS on fashion only, everyone is [enter word here] off at me.
"QQ, why don't you get gear instead"
"Fashion isn't important!"
"Level up Hope!"
But I love my faction and keep trying to level.
February of 2010:
Left faction due to being under level requirements.
I chat with my in-game bro since I'm upset.
I kill my character at the huggy hares at level 70.
I quit the game.
March of 2010:
Another new server comes out.
I try it out.
I join Narla and soon become an executor.
Due to real life I have to leave after only 3-5 days of it.
A week and a half later I come back.
Try leveling, and then just quit the game once more.
Not feeling it anymore.
June of 2010:
I'm back on PWI.
Gosh, I res myself from the huggy hares.
I start questing and then see an ad on WC for CareBear.
I join CareBear.
I'm having fun again!
Then drama happens and everyone I know leaves.
Join War.
All my friends are here.
Everyone I know supports me and pushes me to work harder.
July of 2010:
Got married! Yay!
2-3 weeks later....
Divorced.
I'm still in War.
Forgot if I got married again late this month or early August...
Oh well, moving on.
August of 2010:
Got married again (or was that July?)
Divorced 7 days later.
Things get stressful in War.
Leveling is no longer a hassle since at 77,
I get invited to go on my first FC run.
I level faster than *snap* that.
I quit War.
After a few hours, I apply for QQme cause of my friends bugging me.
I joined QQme.
I'm happily married and think I'm finally getting close to end game
TW changes are made.
People RQ.
Present time:
I'm bored and sick of my cleric.
Everyone just wants me for FC/TT/etc.
I make a veno.
Join my sisters faction full of level 1-3x
I'm happy on my veno.
Working on my TT90 gear, just missing the chest.
Would have had the chest if it wasn't for TT changes.
And yeah, thats really my entire PWI life...
Wow that was long...[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

After second Jolly Jones, things got messy, and pwi haven't been the same b:sad0 -
bad, nuff said.0
-
Ok I'll play along b:chuckle
Dec 08 - An online friend (hi Nil =3) begs me to play "this awesome new game". I am highly resistant as I tend to stay away from games.
April 09 - She's still begging me to play and I finally give in. After an hour long Q & A, I decide to roll a veno, for the pets. Instantly in a noob guild from level 1. Love the game, play it all the time.
May 09 - Noob guild proves to be less than helpful so I leave and go solo. Found another guild shortly after. Still in this guild to this day. Still loving game.
May 09 -> Sep 09 - These were the best times. Made many friends, learned many things. Problems in the faction result in me being the default leader even though I'm only marshal. Spies enter faction and we get kos'd by a factor. People start to leave. Real life calls and I have to stop playing till Jan.
Jan 10 - Log in for first time in 3 months to find I'm leader of faction and everyone has left. Even though I maintained my personal updates on the faction website, no one bothered to read or respond or let me know what was going on >.> Where did all my old friends go? A lot of them quit when the anni packs came out the first time. Take a week to do simple things to remember how to play again, try to rebuild guild. Convince real-life pals to start playing.
Jan 10 -> patch 390 - Game continues to be fun for all for the most part, double faction size, pals in real life are enjoying, things looking up indeed.
patch 390 - What is this? I don't even... I start posting in the forums for the first time ever.
patch 390 -> now - Log in to talk to and help friends and faction, post in the forums. Bind all my gear and think about rpk. Think about whether to leave faction or not. Post in the forums. Put a hold on faction recruiting so I don't look like an **** if I do leave. Hover in limbo state and see what happens next. Post in the forums.
Yeah and I was looking forward to playing for years.0 -
i still enjoy this game, wont lie, dunno why i do, hate jus bout all the changes, but for some reason still love the game and the freinds ive made on it, sure ill be on a bit less when i go back to college next week but will still log basically everyday.0

I still enjoy it...
But just wanted to comment on the "needing to TTgear up every 10 lvls after 60" Not really, a full set of 70s, refined +2 well sharded, could be efficient enough well into your 90s.. If upgradeing is that much needed, add a couple of legenday items (real cheap/easy to get) and you are good.
I think people end up getting themselves over frustrated in this game because soon as they hit xx they get overwhelmed with thinking they need to be absolutely fully geared. TTgear IS elite gear. And IS far greater than that of merchant gear, an a good chunk better than 3*
But seriously it is NOT a dire need to do what you need to do.. I know for a fact a full group can complete every task from BH/FC/TT(lvl equivelent up to 3s) with nothing but merchant/*/**/*** gear effectivly, not as pro of course...but none the less if by some chance you cant fill every slot with TT piece of gear during that xx, its not going to tottally ruin your playing experience.
Thats the problem tho, people drive other people to believe, if they dont have it, then they are fail. Its the community itself that forces the feeling of needing to be a CSer.0 -

My experiences with this game.... I'll play along, too.
So I must have joined in... oooooh.... February 2009. I had been looking for a good MMO with a nice community and relatively pretty graphics and PWI fit the bill nicely. The community was great, plenty of very helpful people, and polite people too. You know, the kind of people who'd talk to you about their guild rather then just pop a random invite your way and hope you said yes.
Given that this was before the Age of Spirits expansion with genies, levelling was kind of... fun. I'm not the best archer in the world and certainly wasn't then and I found it pretty tricky to level. I remember pretty specifically that my 20s were a nightmare. I thought I could solo Darkbreed Wolfkins (hahaha, shut up laughing, I can hear you) and the Treeline Wolfkins and Heartless Wolves (I believe that's what they're called) were a nightmare. This is back in the day both kinds of wolves would automatically aggro you if you came near them. I died so much around there it's not even funny, but I didn't mind because this is back in the day that death didn't matter. Was just part of the game.
I liked the game so much that I directed any and all of my gamer friends to it. Only a few joined in the end but it made everything far funnier, and once they had joined up we all ended up making more friends. By the time I was level... I dunno, 24, I saved up my first 100k and made myself a faction for me and my friends to join just because we could. A faction that I still remember and a part of me still misses because those days really were so much more fun. (And I have no idea how many people remember me as being the leader of Pointless, but I sure do.)
But.... yeah... the game went downhill. My officers started leaving Pointless as packs became more common. It was no longer about being friends, having fun and helping each other out, it was about doing BH every damned day and levelling to 10x as fast as possible. God forbid anybody died any more. Being good friends and having a lot of fun while helping each other out lost all of it's values. By the time June 2010 came around Pointless was completely dead and I was the only person left in it. In a way, it still breaks my heart to see how the changes in the game changed the attitude of people. It went from being a fun game to being a "We must level to 100 and if we're in a squad with you when we die it's your fault and we will never speak to you again."
I followed a few of my friends to another faction after that but playing this game isn't the same any more. So many people have come into this game during a time where a lot of the old players, people like me or others who were around back when this game actually had a real sense of community to it, just don't play any more. So many greedy, snobby "look at me and my high level" who go out their way to be an ****. Even the game itself, with all of it's new bugs, now stops people from trying to get their gear the same way they did back when I was a noob.
PWI is not dying. The game will carry on running whether I leave it, you leave it, all the veterans leave it, or not. It'll die eventually, all games do, but it's not close to death now. But the community? The gameplay value? The friends, for heavens sake? They are long dead. This game is not what it used to be, and I sorely miss the old days.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
I still enjoy the character customization. It's awesome no matter how much the actual game sucks.
I remember when Etherblade was still crowded with players...every other day I would create the ugliest character I could think of for that moment and scare people by standing in the middle of that walkway going towards the elder.0 -
My 2 silver coins....
I joined in December of 2008, and I thought PW was a magical exciting place (yay Snowmen! remember those? b:laugh , yay! I can have a pet!)
It has taken me since then to level to where I am now, 100. (I skipped a month here, 2 weeks there, and was never in any hurry to level anyway).
My first BH was Qianji in the FB59 dungeon. The experience was nice, since I was grinding myself to death daily to get coins, drops, and Spirit! (always needed Spirit back then).
Oh, remember grinding endlessly on Justice Quests in the Swamp? b:surrender
I actually liked Anni Packs, at first. I got a Neon Purgatory and Ence's Scar hat out of them, plus the tokens came in very handy for me. But, the packs kept returning, in various forms, and I saw the damage they were doing. First dark cloud over PWI, from where I sit.
I've gotten my TT99 armor set, and it is quite nice. I see so many new people coming up so quickly now - not much effort required nowadays! And, like many here in the forums, I think that is sad.
Those people are robbed of a lot of the fun we all had grinding, working through quests, and all that. Nowadays people can skip everything but Culti quests. They miss out on so much!
I do feel the classes were very well balanced, overall. I agree with a lot of people that the Assassin class are overpowered.
I do not think making the bosses so hard in TT is the way to solve PWI's problems, either.
I miss the earlier days a lot. b:sad[SIGPIC]TY Santacruz![/SIGPIC]

Euh....
I joined this game in August 2009 because I had some friends playing the game all in different however I joined Dreamweaver because (Graviora b:kiss) was in it and was the last one to talk to me about it... I found the game very entertaining, nice graphics, not really that hard to figure out as an MMO. I joined my first guild and it was quite amazing how people are helpful and social to the point were you find random people saying 'Hi' to you. I kept playing till my mid 30's and had to take a break because school started and I didn't have time to play.
When I came back this year again, couple of months ago after the Tideborns expansion, actually. I found that my first faction was eventually dead because many people have quit the game.... Through my journey, I gained some levels alone and joined my current and second faction. My guildies helped me with some changes I didn't know about and I felt a bit weird like a TOTAL noob when I came back...
Now I've been playing ever since and may I say, it is NOT getting better. Before all these changes it was truly a perfect world to have some peace and get away from real life stress. However now....the amount of rage inside the game and on the forums, the WC drama that I only ever saw when I came back, and the no-questing-just-BH is taking over the entertainment in the game. I'm still playing and like to still play it because I have a lot of friends in this game that make it tolerable.
It seems that the worse is yet to come...[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
Joined second half of 2009. Liked it then, and i still like it. Soloed untill lvl 80. Used a few oracles (about 5 lvls). Started searchin for a nice faction a few months ago. I think i found one in "Dragons"
Not interested in TW or PvP. like helpin ppl. Used a few hypers now they are soooo cheap.
I think the game is very enjoyable if u are not frustrated by gear or by the fact that you had to work hard for anything what others are buying.
If old friends leave i make time to look for new friends.
All together: nice game and i hope i will be able to play it for a long time.0 -
My experience I guess then since 09..
December09
- Downloaded the game after seeing this on another MMO that I got very tired of.
-Made my archer, who I have never stopped playing since.
-Spent the first week wandering around the map, since this thing looked WAY more complicated then it actually was at first.
-Started reading the forums and actually knowing what to do (although I never made my first post until 2x)
January10
-Joined InStyle, where I was to stay for a long time to come.
-Did my first ever fb, since it was my first time I was absolutely petrified (seriously, my hand was shaking irl, LOL)
-Got my first outfit: a blue fairy dress+lollypop sleeves which I wore all the time. Fashion Addict here we come!
Febuary10
-Gained Executor rank. Never looked back from it.
-fb29. Thinking high dex made me unstoppable let me just say I died. Alot. Too much alot. O_O
-Not much that month because of school so I was very busy.
March10-June10
-Leveling fest!
-Started making machinima after meeting my ex who showed me fraps - a level 9x wizard who I shall not name.
- Released my first machinima video: Untamed Love
-Met my best freind/mentor Teppeii, who I would join in his faction Dynasty later.
July10
- In which I would call my depression month. My ex went away for a month and we basically drifted apart..
-Temporarily left InStyle after being accused by a fellow member of being a cheat. Needless to say I was very hurt because I would NEVER do that.
-Joined again after a week, the person who accused me was ejected after being rude to other members.
-But really that month wasnt all bad, I met my new boyfreind(that word is so overused.. I him more then that) Raven during a PWI parade. Since then we've collabbed on youtube and are working on some stuff together.
-and then fb69 reared its head around the corner, needless to say there was plenty of jokes about it on TS during the run. I was loling XD
August10
-Time to grow up and move on month.
-I left InStyle to join Dynasty for TW, and began to step up my game. Since then I have never looked back. Although I miss my faction alot, I shall be popping in there on my Psychic alt to check on everyone.
And now you are all wondering about why I havent QQed about the packs or the economy. Why? Because I dont give a damn about them. If I dont like something, I dont buy it. Full stop.
This game is absolutely amazing, beautiful graphics, amazing scenery, and the variety of places to go and explore is brilliant.
My advice is to just ignore all the QQing, and play the game the way YOU want to play it. Dont follow the crowd and stick to being yourself.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]<3 by Silvy

I can't really put a timeline on this, because I suck at timelines.
So I joined the Dreamweaver server either late May, early June 2009. I made a veno, and a cleric. I found myself playing the cleric more than the veno and promptly deleted her. I went through two no-name factions, until I joined SkyLight after Elve helped me questing. I went on vacation for a week a day later, and came back to new faces, and some missing faces.
My life in SkyLight... amazing. I met so many friends while there. Imprisoned (<3), Elve, PeaceMakerXI, Brigander, Yrana, Lingie, Riney(yes, those two nubs on RT were in SkyLight for a bit...), FieryFury, FatalNight, and a bunch of others who quit. Most of those I listed quit anyhow. Nonetheless, I improved as a player within the faction. I was known as the "ninja," the one who watched and listened, but rarely spoke. Imprisoned and I got married, and we still are. He and I leveled fast together, catching up to the higher levels. Yrana and I were rivals, but in a good way. He's still my best friend, though only on msn.
Gamma... I miss gamma. I met so many people, but during that time... SkyLight died. It got to the point that people were leaving everyday, until Imp and I were the only ones online. Sometime during our gamma days... we met an exec of Equinox, and placed our applications. That was a terrible goodbye for me. I wanted to cry. But those I loved were no longer there, and somewhere else.
Back to gamma. I met Airyll, Penutbuter, and a bunch of other people during this time. Again, most of the good friends I had fun with in vent quit. Honestly... Airyll and I didn't get along much during that time :P
Equinox. I was iffy on EQ at first. It didn't have the family feel I was used to in SkyLight, but I found myself attached to this family quicker than I had anticipated. My second TW was the Calamity win. I made so many friends in Equinox, and also, some people I dislike. I keep it to myself, so I don't cause drama. I also made some friends outside of faction during this time, such as Saiha, Thrivelia, and a few others.
I'm still in Equinox, and I plan to stay. Even if EQ begins to crumble, I will stay here until it comes to the point Imp and I are the only ones online (or if I quit o_o)
everyone I met during my journey to 100.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
I'll join in with my own experiences! ^^
It was really nice to read how everyone played this game and what things and experienced.
October 29th 2008 <-for some reason I remember the day I downloaded it
I saw an advertisment somewhere and I decided to click it because I saw a kemonomimi design (venomancer). I was directed to the old site and I looked at the classes. I was surprised to see a realistic kemonomimi and I read the description of the class. I decided to download it and try it because I love kemonomimi & using pets. I played only about half an hour as I had no time left. I found it so fun how the tail moved and all that. I fell in love with the customization system. I told my best irl friend about it and th eother day she came at my house, made an account and used my computer to play the game.
November 2008
I was having fun with my Venomancer. Another close irl friend joined. Both started with a winged elf (cleric and archer respectively) but ended up making a Venomancer,too. We discovered the game together. We also met a guy who seemed nice and played together. I tamed my first rare pet and I was so happy. I spent my time exploring the world and trying out the other classes. I didn't even know quests exist. Later I discovered them and I focused on leveling up Desdi. I absolutely loved the game and I just explored it.
December 2008
I was lvl 30 by the time 12th December came. I was so happy I could fly and the game just became more and more interesting. I loved the fact that it was based on chinese mythology. I went for Christmas holidays in a different country though so I didn't play the rest of the month.
February 2009
Untill February I wasn't playing much. That guy we had met at the beginning stopped playing and my friends weren't playing much either. However we started playing again in February and we also met some really fun people with who we are still friends and talk. I was level 45 by then. We started squading and doing FB19 runs together. I'll never forget how fun it was.
I also bought my first fashion ever; a light blue summer chipao. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
March 2009
A friend told me I should join a faction and invited me in Emberlite.
I became an executor later like my friend. I started loving my faction mates. They were always helpful and fun. I was about lvl 50 by then and I was excited for getting close to high levels. Lvl60 then was something amazing and Twilight Temple was the coolest thing ever. I spent most of my time grinding and questing.
May 2009
I don't remember much about April but in May I was playing a lot. I got even closer to my faction mates. I did a lot of fun things with my friends. I also became closer friends with a guy who later asked me to marry him in-game for fun. I obtained my lvl59 skills that time and I thought Parasitic Nova is THE skill xD I used it every time I had sparks.
June 2009
I reached my goal. I reached lvl70. Level 70 is my favourite number of level and I was extremely happy.
I got married with that friend and had fun being a high level now. I helped my friends with every FB and boss I could.
By the end of June my faction started falling apart. However we managed to keep it up as some marshals/executors stayed. I was promoted to a Marshal.
In the meantime I started focusing on my cleric and playing less with my venomancer.
That time I also bought zen for the first time and bought my flying and riding mounts.
August 2009
I was getting closer to level 80 with my venomancer but I started playing with my cleric more.
That time I became Director in Emberlite and my irl friend was the Leader. We decided to revive Emberlite but by the end of August my friend left and I became the leader.
September 2009
BH was introduced and I got excited. My cleric was now close to level 70 and and my venomancer around lvl 78. I did my best to level her to 80 before school was starting. That time I met a really nice girl who accepted to become leader of Emberlite and work for it while I was gone. I became the Director. After school started I stopped playing but I kept logging in on Saturdays to check my friends and my faction.
November 2009
I only played a little and during that time Emberlite was alive again. My in-game husband divorced me.
I returned my focus on school.
April 2010
Easter holidays so I returned to the game. Most of my friends had deleted me from their friends list. Only a couple of them still remembered and cared for me. Emberlite fell apart again. I talked with the original leader and we decided to leave it. I reached lvl 85 with my Venomancer and lvl 75 with my cleric. I also started a second Venomancer to play her in LA and fox.
June 2010
I joined Liquid after some friends told me to. I felt like a stranger there so I left after a few days. Then I joined Siege, again because of a friend, but once again I felt like a stranger and left. I decided to stay factionless on every character. I played mostly on my Cleric. I reached lvl80 with her and by the end of June I married my Cleric with my best friend's alt barbarian (who has became her main that time). We had tons of fun. My alt venomancer was about lvl 60. I had so much fun in for form and I almost forgot my main vit-arcane one.
July 2010
I did everything possible to hit lvl 89 with my Venomancer. I joined Negans which was a small faction created by my best friends. We had a couple of friends join and we put our alt characters there. We had fun and I felt like home again. I didn't care if it was the smallest faction in the world. I was happy there. No rules, just fun.
I hit lvl89 at the last day of July and I was extremely happy. After that I just helped friends with their BH/bosses.
August 2010 (now)
I started playing less. I got kinda tired. Later my computer broke down and I don't want to download the game on my laptop so yeah...I can't play but I don't worry very much, when I can play again I'll come once in a while for some fun instances with friends.[SIGPIC]http://i.imgur.com/MtwcqjL.png[/SIGPIC]

well I went to PWI because my dear friend trickib:thanks told me about that game. And in the beginning i had a lot of problems because this game is a different kind of MMO than the ones i played before.
First char was a wiz, and because i was a totally noob i deleted him when he was 25. I got problems with the points and so on. Made a bm, lvld it up to 50 to delete him again. (Although i met a lot of nice buddies with my bm, i also met some strange ppl. Got in a bad mood, delete the BM and quittet for a month)
I made a veno and lvld her up to 50+, but being a female char did just make me feel a way to female as a guy xD
It became a way more funny with my cleric, i helped ppl, could solo a lot but lvling was harder. I didnt care, i just had fun with helping some friends who finally joined ther game too.
Then i went my first time pk, and decided to make another char for pk only - so i made my archer.
And yeah, the most of the friends i got quitted and we are playing other Onlinegames
together now .
The first TT runs were funny , then it got boring because most ppl didnt wanna go tt anymore without double drop.
Bringin up my veno wasnt a real option anymore because im an Non-CS and dont wanna spend that amount of in-game-money for herc/nix for an alt.
Now since every1 has to be a "perfect" CS i just dont really play for exp anymore, doing tt and other things just with good friends.0
