Hey all,


We will be having server maintenance tonight from 11pm - 1am Pacific. During this time, the servers will not be accessible, so please keep that in mind for your gaming tonight.



As for the usual maintenance question:


Now that it's a reality, what should be the next "Arcane Barb" (i.e. a class wearing gear that seems to go directly against what would be considered the ideal). You just might see the most popular choice in a future news post...


See you tonight!

    (Hey Frankie 11P - 1P would be a really REALLY long maintenance, I hope that's a typo)

    Oh yea, and to answer your question:

    I would say, a Heavy Armor Wizzard (or HA cleric)

    A PVP player in non-cashshopped non-rank gear.

    (Seriously, the joke/irony only works for arcane barbs. Any other combination aren't nearly as much of an ironic contrast, and/or make the joke seem old because "arcane barb" has already been done. AA Seeker? same as arcane barb. HA Cleric? Might actually work if you sink enough coin in it. LA anything-not-dex-based? Been tried, usually doesn't work, but not so unusual as to be funny. And so on.)

    I see you really liked boogie's video xD

    The largest contrast would probably be something like a HA mystic or AA seeker.

    Wow... I don't even.

    I think you should reconsider what you just did frankie. Boogie was just jokingly asking about his main character that got permanently banned from forums, not his alt you just banned.

    But am I not understanding the rule correctly? If one of your characters is permanently banned from forums, does that mean you yourself cannot go and post on the forums anymore? Even from alternate characters?

    I'm pretty sure that's the rule. If your main has been banned on the forums you can't post from an alt. IIRC.

    edit: I knew I had seen him state it somewhere before. :(
    frankieraye wrote: »
    My rationale is: If people can post on alts after having their main banned, then what's the point of banning them in the first place? Game account bans I can understand, after all, playing PWI on an alt is not the same as playing on your main. On the forums, though, posting on an alt is no different from posting on your main.

    Forum bans are meant to remove posting privileges, thus forum ban circumvention is not allowed.

    That's correct, it's here in the forum rules, #22:

    http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=63291



    After all, what is the point of a ban if the player is allowed to simply switch to another character and keep posting? The ban is supposed to be aimed at the person controlling the keyboard and mouse, not the in-game avatar that shows up to the left of the post.

    So? Noone gave a damn when Kephras did it. And he clearly even had his name in his signature.


    It's a damned shame when people like Yulk and tweakz can go around insulting in every post yet nothing happens to them. Even bigger shame are things like that...

    I agree with this... :/ boogie never really stood out for me as someone who is annoying/rude on the forums.

    But there are people on the forum just creating flameposts, flamebite, insulting, calling names. And making new players, or anyone with questions look like fools.
    Why not ban those people..? They aren't making the forums a better place. At all.

    Players do get banned for these things, there have probably been a half-dozen in the past week even. We just don't publicize the bans. If you think a player is behaving badly on the boards, you need to PM myself and the moderators (ChaoticShelly, FuzzyWuzz, and Krisnda), and we'll look into them.

    For privacy reasons, I can't give the specifics of any player's ban, except to say that no video has caused me to ban anyone.
