Hello,

I know this is probably futile but I will post this nontheless since it's always worth a try.

I don't rememebr exactly when the old expansions have been announced, if there was "some big content coming soon" talk beforehand or not. But we have been getting infos from chinese speaking users for weeks now and we actually do know a lot about what we are to expect, so I am not asking for info about the content. I would just like to know: Do you know if it's planned that we get the expansion or is it some china only thing? Can you give any info about it. I don't even dare to ask how much patience we need to have, but I am surely not the only person here who would like to read some official word about it.

Thanks in advance.

    The GMs probably know less about it than we do, if history is any example. That aside, since we do get our patches from China, it's bound to affect us eventually. It's just a question of when.

    Historically you get better info from players about new content than any official statement lol <_<

    They are in a frustrating spot though since anyone can see new content months before it arrives here. Kinda hard to get any credit for announcing stuff everyone already knows about.

    Now question is, will it be info that'll be useful or vague statements that won't mean anything?

    Considering most of the expansion has been covered in great detail, I would hope for the very least a projection time for a release date... At least a quarter would be fine. (I would assume late Q1 or Q2 at this pace...).

    I know its fun to be coy but it looks kinda bad when an admin doesn't know there is no new race <_<

    Or Sihndra could simply be referring to the fact that the earthguard race had been hiding underground for thousands of years and only just resurfaced to guide and help the other races through the coming calamity.

    After all, the advertisement and lore behind the Genesis expansion alluded to a great cataclysm of sorts and I don't recall much of a apocalypse after the last expansion. Therefore, this upcoming one could just be a sort of continuation of the earthguard/armageddon idea and the new skills could symbolize the guidance the earthguard gave the other races to defeat the new menace.

    Or I could be over analyzing this entire thing.

    So my guess a year ago that they were gonna be Wraith-based is true? xP

    PWE needs to stop introducing new races and start upgrading end-game content.

    Gm's do terrible work here. They absolutely not providing tutorials of new incoming things.
    For instance. Trials. Where is tutorial, how base work? How trials works? What to do? What base offers and etc. The support of game is just horrible.

    I believe there's a section in PWI Wiki that sheds some light on the Trials, I saw it in passing but not sure how detailed it is...

    I've only done one trial... it was like Trial 5 or 6... I forget, but from what I can tell the intentions were good, but the execution is pretty horrible.

    We can't have everything spoon fed to us by the game Admins and GMs have other things to do besides teaching you how to play the game. It's amazing what you can figure out on your own if you just put some effort into actually searching the PW Wiki guides or even using Google. Certain aspects of the game require us to figure it out.
    I **** bigger than you...

    Shut up and play the game.....Damn

    and honestly I'm increasingly convinced that that is what you scoundrels love about PWI and what has made it such a raging success. Compared to [OTHER MMOS] that hold your hand and walk you down a hallway and give you encouraging pats/strokes every scheduled 8.75 minutes, PWI is a stark wasteland of bizarre quests and antiquated world building.

    Figuring out PWI takes talking to other people, wandering around a lot, and an astronomic level of resourcefulness, BUT, I submit, those qualities form the foundation of any good MMO experience because they invariably, indisputably immerse you into enduring, thriving in, and sharing a common world with other real people.

    Sihndra is speaking about normal, IMO .... always a little off that one =O

    @Michael_Dark: I <3 Trials. One of the better instances in the game, IMO. Provides a challenge kinda spices up guild chat when its going on... its nice. Something that require coordination almost at the level of TW is nice.
