    I recently returned to check PWI out after several months (after several supposed
    'improvements'). HT and LC servers seem relatively deserted now even in Archosaur (city), and it sounds like some of the other servers are even worse.

    Is this what others are finding too? Of course I was also shocked to find that in only a few months the exchange rate had quadrupled, and we now have freaking motorcycles in a world that is supposed to be traditional.

    Is PWI dying? b:shocked

    we have one person quitting the game or playing less and less every week in faction atm

    and the reason is always very similar,
    its the way this game is managed (greed, bug fixes?, sales, support? - all in all the feeling of no dedication to their own game- only thing left is the money) - and nobody can really disagree


    sometimes you get the feeling this game is dying
    but there are still new people (at least more people willing to join our group than quitting)

    and now the EU servers coming up will make it worse. I think FW took some players too.
    Problem with the game is end game content, when i reached 101, there 'was' nothing fun to do, and no new goals. i dont like how u can just buy R9, if they do it like that they should make it more expensive, right now is too cheap that it is almost not worth farming for...

    I'm not sure about end game content being the main cause. I think it is the economy. With the exchange rate being so high, there is now a huge difficulty gap between players that spend real money and those that don't. Part of the fun of playing the game is the social aspect and large number of players of all levels (whether they spend real money or not). The economy has discouraged new players to join and that means no one to replace those who leave. The newbie areas are deserted which means it isn't much fun starting a new character.

    This is interesting to hear.. I had no idea arch was so empty. Im curious to know what your guys' market is like there? What are things selling for there, how many estimated people +100.. active people? Major Factions?
    Im too lazy to go on the server and look myself cause from the posts Im reading, it would be too depressing to go look. (lol.)

    Im very happy with the trolls and actives on HT. It is packed, but yet everyone knows everyone in the end. Only negative, the increasing economy prices..... x.x

    Heaven's Tear is the most populated of all servers, Lost City is the most populated of PVP servers.

    I'm quite confused as to why most people decided to roll on west coast servers, since 75%+ of the world who plays this game would be better off lag-wise on an east coast server over west.

    I think that lag should be just as high of consideration for joining any server. I've noticed my ping more than quadruple on HT just by moving from the Bay Area, California, to Toronto, Ontario.

    I am on the east coast, and play on the west coast server, and I regret doing so, especially during the part of the year I have school.. When I first joined pwi my friend who today doesn't play told me to join.. so here I am still playing stuck on a west coast server.
    Stuck doing tiger event at midnight on a Monday night sucks yes, but the server and people on it, I much enjoy.
