FC Glitch Update

Naychur - Harshlands

I am just trying to make people aware there are alternative private servers ''psytrac'', the company cannot afford vast advertising like pwi since pwv is a FREE GAME!!!!!!! They make no profit and do it for OUR own entertainment! perhaps u did not like me posting this, but plz show some regard for your fellow players who may not have the money to compete in this game. and fyi 6 hours to some people IS 1-2 days, since some have jobs/school/kids/other obligations. rather then sitting on a computer for years of their life, hey im guilty of that too, but atleast i am aware of other players and not just my self. plz show some concideration and dont be so selfish.

Naychur - Harshlands

p.s u get 1k gold every 4 hours, r9 takes about 1.6k + rep, so that is 8 hours at the very least...nice try tho ;D

Attn : I found this on the internet , freely available for anybody to view http://www.pwrd.com/html/en/annual_report.html . From the 2011 Annual Report ( filed May 11 2012 ) I have selected a few passages of interest .

My comments are in GREEN , Normal Text is copied and pasted from the 2011 Annual Report .



Game Life Span

In order for our business strategy to succeed over time, we will need to continually develop, launch and operate new online games or license or acquire new games that are commercially successful. We will need to do this to both replace our existing online games as they reach the end of their useful economic lives, which we believe are typically three to five years for most of our online games, and to meet our growth strategy of operating a larger number of online games that grow our overall player base and increase our revenues.

Existing Games

Although we currently have a number of new games in pipeline, and will target to develop and launch more games in the future, we cannot guarantee you that we will be able to successfully develop, launch and operate any of these new games. Accordingly, any of the following could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations:
- failure by us to make quality upgrades, expansion packs, enhancements or improvements to the existing games in a timely manner;
- any reduction in or failure to grow the player base of these existing games, any decrease in their popularity in the market due to intensifying competition or other factors;
- any decrease in or failure to grow the amount of revenues generated from the existing games; or
- any breach of game-related software security, prolonged server interruption due to network failures, hacking activities or other factors or any other adverse developments relating to our existing games.

Hacking / Cheating

Unauthorized character enhancements and other hacking or cheating activities could harm our business and reputation and materially and adversely affect our results of operations.... Continued occurrences of unauthorized character enhancements and other manipulations may negatively impact the image of our online games and players perception of their reliability, decrease the number of players, reduce the players interest in purchasing in-game items, shorten the life span of the games and adversely affect our results of operations. Furthermore, once we detect the players who have
engaged in hacking or cheating activities, we generally suspend their access to their respective accounts, which may result in significant user dissatisfaction and cause some of these players to cease to play the game altogether.

Glitches

Undetected programming errors or flaws in our games or failure to maintain effective customer service could harm our reputation or decrease market acceptance of our games, which would materially and adversely affect our results of operations....From time to time, our players informed us of programming flaws affecting their game play experience, which we were generally able to resolve promptly.

Customer Service

If our games contain programming errors or other flaws, or if we inadvertently delete our customers records or otherwise fail to provide effective customer service, our customers may be less inclined to continue or resume playing our games or recommend our games to other potential customers, and may switch to our competitors games. Undetected programming errors, game defects and unsatisfactory customer service can disrupt our operations, adversely affect the game experience of our customers, harm our reputation, cause our customers to stop playing our games, and delay market acceptance of our games, any of which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.... Furthermore, customer service, including in-game masters, is critical for retaining customers, and we may not be able to maintain and continuously improve the quality of our services to meet customers expectations....We also will need to continue to expand, train, manage and motivate our workforce, and manage our relationships with our distributors, customers, overseas licensees and third-party service providers.


The 2011 Annual Report is available in its entirety here http://www.pwrd.com/html/en/images/2011_ar.pdf . I have just selected a few passages that pricked my ears .

On the surface , they seem to recognize how their games need to be ran and the risks / consequences of failure to deliver. So how is it that the end result has gone so horribly horribly wrong b:sad b:sad

Typical mode of operation for a game company such as PWE. Get the licenses to run the game, build a nice player base with said game, when the time is right pump them dry till it dies. All the while they keep operating costs to a bare minimum. Hence the issue we have here with no gm to player communication and no resolvement of issues such as the goon glitch in a timely manner. As well as no punishment for the abusers of that glitch.

Reaperarm - Harshlands

Oh no no no no no. We're not done here Mr. Thread.b:angry

Back to the top you go.b:bye

Looks like the GM's altogether stopped posting on this thread, haha, any thoughts? No wonder they're making the level cap 109. So people will shut up about 105 and they can go "Its legit"

b:puzzled

But even if they did, that accomplishes nothing. Not unless they change the amount of exp needed to get there, so that we could reach 105 as easily as 102-103.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

To be honest... I think the EXP to get to 105 is actually the EXP requirement to get to 109~120

My logic is if you look at the EXP table after you hit 99 the exp requirement skyrockets up.
It's more noticeable after 100 but going from needing 30mil for 99 to 67mil for 100 to 267mil for 101 and so forth is a very drastic change.

See source here.

Compared to the previous levels that don't have even close to that EXP increments

AH HA! I found you Mr. thread. Back up you go.

Please Mr Reaperarm,

'If I place a bet' on the life of this thread the Mod's & GM's no longer want to read.
