    Yesterday, I wanted to do my 202020 for my tabs for fb69 on my wizard. People were like "WTF NO ONE DOES 20x3 ANYMORE!!!" And someone actually pm'd me asking why she only had 1 tab for fb69 and that she was 71. I told her she had to do 20x3 for it and she was like REALLY? UGH.

    Then I met up with her in an fc heads squad. I facepalmd. b:sweat

    It has nothing to do with the topic but I had to share!

    I'm young to PWI compared to all here. But! I love the 20x3 in Wraithgate. 3 wizzies, 2 barbs and a good cleric. It rocked so much. All of my toons near 67 have the quest.

    It has plenty to do with the topic and is the point of the topic! BTW, I am doing my 20/20/20's now too. If they dont do their FB's how the HELL do they level their skills. Gotta do them to get next level skillz. Sighs! People are too much gotta have everything today and don't want to work for it. Sad really!

    man, I remember when there were only Bronze and Silver charms in the Boutique, Israfel was the fastest Untamed flying mount in the Boutique, and the highest level player on all of Sanct was a 7x Veno. It was extremely rare to see anyone use WC back then...

    I bought an Israfel around two weeks after they put them in Boutique, I felt so cool and unique having a faster flying mount while everyone else had the ugly slow free ones.

    Then I upgraded it and made it even faster...

    I love what that person says in chat, there's so much to do she can never be bored. The days when you could play all day and still have things to do. Now people just stand around, or repeat instances, or play kitty shops.

    Kinda, (actually) yes you can. It's an 'allowed move' last time I checked too. Well, you can't go back to the 'all original' of course that's long gone QQ

    BUT, you CAN go back to the UI from RAGING TIDES expansion. Simply change

    THEME=1
    to
    THEME=0

    in your SYSTEMSETTINGS.INI (remember this is a move that IS ALLOWED)

    C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86)\PERFECT WORLD ENTERTAINMENT\PERFECT WORLD INTERNATIONAL\ELEMENT\USERDATA

    See in this provided pic that there's actually supposed to be a ticker box choice between the two interfaces...! Only problem is it DOES appear on R/T UI but it does NOT appear on the GENESIS UI b:angry

    http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n481/sparc343/switchable.jpg

    In part, because of this, if you switch back to 'emerald' you will lose your ability to come BACK to 'classic' (without editing SYSTEMSETTINGS.INI again).

    One possible workaround to this is making systemsettings.ini READ ONLY (right click / properties ~ tick read only [then click ok]). Then, this way if you switch to 'emerald' and want to switch back, all you have to do is exit and re-start the client b:victory

    I'm guessing that it doesn't appear on the Emerald UI because the Classic UI still has some flaws here and there. They probably want to have that fixed before adding the option.

    I don't know if the next expansion brings a new UI into the mix, maybe we'll get to pick between 3 interfaces then?

    This IS true, (there are flaws here and there); but to me they are so minute they are worth it (I just REALLY hate the new UI!)

    Yea, the good old days. When no one said "link your weapon" to get into a squad. Because people weren't 'elitists' who only want to shave some playing time off their day. People didn't really care about being the fastest levelers. People ACTUALLY played. Sure people died because of the n00b in the squad, but you met tons of new people via forming these random squads; and the 'n00b' didn't wind up kicked out of squad and PK'd. If you were me, you felt bad for the 'n00b' that you'd run across - so you'd go try n help ("train") them later on. Oh *sighs* too bad those days are gone =\

    Ok, now you made me feel ancient:
    Due to being invited by an online friend, I started playing Perfect World International, a fantasy-themed MMORPG. The character that I chose was a Winged Elf Archer, whom I named Olba. At the time of writing, he's level 15 and hasn't done much. So far, Perfect World International, aka PWI, looks like a pretty good game, just that it seems to contain a lot of travelling, which is rather time consuming. And of course there's the whole deal of not knowing what I should be doing or not, so I've mostly been playing together with this online friend of mine.

    Dated May 18th, 2009.
    I am Olba. Not Ol, not Baze nor Blaze. And even less would I go by Olblaze. Please, take a second to read a person's username.
    If you see b:cute be sure to take a second, calm look at anything I said.
