@ question #3 11-12 orbs wernt causing client crashes, (no one reported it) they took it out because they screwed the price on the 11-12 orbs up, they made it significantly cheap and people were buying up big time which caused server instability and well i guess they must of made a decent amount of profit of those when they weren't expecting to i don't know why they didn't put them back in, but i do know they took them out for that reason, i was online laughing at there **** up.

Alright, joking aside, I just want a GM/Admin answer to the following, don't care if I personally like the answer or not, or if the answer is the same from previous responses, just an answer/update to the following questions, even if you have to restate it.


1. Why hasn't their been any action taken against those who used the FC glitch to lvl to 105, or to lvl brand news alts to 100 in a matter of days?


2. The promised DQ item mentioned in September and was implied to be released in October, why is it taking long? You don't have to mention the item itself, just wondering, is it coding issues, or China being slow on the delivering, etc, etc. I know a GM posted earlier saying it was "coming soon" in a post earlier today, but why keep saying "soon" for a few months now?


3. The infamous +11/12 sale. You guys said it caused client instability and pulled the sale in an emergency maintenance, what was the instability exactly? Just a simple client crash or some coding error to cause unwanted effects?


4. This question is a bit.....awkward but here goes, what happen to fun GMs? As in a random GM/Admin would say random things in the system announcement on the server in their red chat every so often. Why aren't there anymore fun from the GMs?


5. System Announcement messages that came about when the server resets for dailys long time ago, like the old "A new day has dawn on us." (or something like that) message. What happen to those? Do you guys have power over that or is it strictly something from China once again?


This is all I can think of currently, if any forum members have other questions, go on and post, I'm hoping this Q&A thread can............address some issues and concerns, and add more communication from the GM/Admins/Others.


P.S, this is not a QQ thread................I think.

Thx b:thanks

hey Knownase, here's the answers:

1) well its china being slow on the delivering..
2) china said it will be soon, so just wait. soon.
3) china told us to do that.
4) we are very busy.
5) china again.

Don't hold your breath, Frankie's got an awful record at this kind of thing. If and when Frankie shows up, I expect he will be using vague and purposefully insensitive terms like "soon", "in the near future", "I'll see what I can do", and "I can't give you any specifics/details/information". That latter term is the worst, as I find it akin to holding a string with a piece of meat on it in front of a hungry animal and keeping it just out of reach.

I plan on bumping it for quite a bit. They probably are making the responses now with the terms you gave, and making sound..............legit.

Ever since the last major patch, there has been very minimal GM/Admin communication.

If they are going to be annoyed by this, they should just lock this thread now, however, locking this thread will prove another point which most of us probably have made.

FoxRunning - Heavens Tear

back when the game first started, one aspect that really made this game appealing was the 'homeyness' of the GMs being visible in the game (my son and I were playing Untamed, so i assume thats why Kantorek was always in or around City of the Lost, where he was available to answer questions and discipline people for breaking the TOS. back then, on the PWI website, i think on the page of the TOS, was a piechart that listed infractions of the TOS and what the punishment would be for it.

and believe me, the GMs swung the banhammer back then...you swore, tried to sneak in dirty language, harass others...many things, and you were PUBLICLY NAMED AND PUNISHED BY THE GM. so this recent sissy "no name and shame" is stupid beyond words to me.. they had guts to stand up for what was right back then...

no more is discipline applied ASAP. and thats totally pathetic. there is no reason why things like this had to be dropped especially- keeping bratty, rude children ruin a game that is supposed to be for adults....the TOS states that you must be 18 or older, or have parental permission. if that were upheld, then we would have fewer problems overall.

One thing I find strange is the fact that when people QQ about duke shouting about this and that, it was always fixed by the next maintenance. (It seems that perhaps someone over here has a bit more control then they are letting us in on)

Not to mention the server going down for maintenance we used to get an hour's warning, that would pop up every ten minutes which pretty much ensured everyone knew/knows maintenance is coming, and yet we see a few complaints on the forums, and it gets changed by next maintenance. (I guess the QQ wins out over the sense in this case. xD lol)

To me it really seems like our main game master does have a bit more control about what can go in; however, I really don't know how much he or she does have... but when things like that get changed so rapidly can't help but wonder how if it takes forever for other things to get fixed/changed.

I do find it strange that they seemed to do little to nothing to reprimand those abusing that glitch... but as others said a perma ban is on the asinine side of things here... we would lose many players if people did get banned forever. (Really a reset of their exp gained would do wonders) Though I really don't expect them to name who, or even make the punishments known to the population as it would be breaking their own rules... (the naming and shaming) though that doesn't mean they couldn't say 'we have reset the levels/exp gain of all those suspected, and founded to be abusing this glitch.) Would do wonders for many.. legit peoples morale/hope for this game. (Perhaps even so for some of those that did indeed use this glitch.)

I found it hard to believe they asked us to screen shot people breaking this tos and then leaving... talk about just asking to be '****/'known as a tattle tale. ;/ xD

1. Action has been taken on some, and will be taken on more shortly. The fact that the glitch existed and that we were not able to close it up for so long was our own fault, so it doesn't feel right to severely penalize everyone who exploited it. That said, the worst offenders' accounts have been found and will soon be seen to.


2. We're saving it for a special occasion. You'll see it soon.


3. I'm sorry, but I can't divulge any more about this issue for security reasons.


4. The GM's are perpetually busy working to resolve customer issues, but I can see about there being more random red text for your enjoyment.


5. Those messages were actually built into the game, and they must have gotten removed during some major patch. I know that there was no reason for us to want to remove them. I'll look into it and see if we can bring them back.
