    I think the one big test is coming up on August 28, with a well known mmo going on-line. The time to check PWI survivablility will be:

    B/- 3 months later - say 1st December and see how many came back.
    I will be checking back on a regular basis. I want to print out the "servers are closed" screenshot to put above my bed.

    Hardly anyone will move ... Over the past 4 years, every year "OMG PWI GONNA DIE OMG THIS GAME IS COMING OUT OMG GAME OVER" ... Nothing changed ... besides another game and no population lost. Actually right now, Perfect Would is doing better than ever. What WILL determine for sure, is if they do the 8hour timer. TRUST ME. Either THAT will kill them, or something else will. IF they release the timer. The Timer = Next Week Population drop by HALF. I a sure you this.

    Can you also "a sure" me that you're correct?

    What 8 hour timer? I heard of this a *little* bit in details, but then assumed it was a rumor due to how stupid it sounded...link perhaps to where this was said?

    Basically, it was a timer thats supposed to inhibit excessive farming.
    If you attack/are hit by wraiths (in certain zones?), it starts counting down. Once it hits "0" you wont get drops or XP/Spirit from any that you kill. If you're in a squad with someone under that "time over" effect and they attack the boss, it wont drop anything either. However, there was supposed to be a warning given about those who are almost out of time once they enter the squad.

    Was it another stupid false horn made to look like a system message like the fake x2 extension horn?

    A/- one week later to see how many left to try out the new game
    B/- 3 months later - say 1st December and see how many came back.

    Expect 2x drops starting August 28th.

    Aw.

    People still think PWE has anything to do with content production and that bishing on forums works.

    If you refuse to do the high level content that is available, of course you won't have much to do. Derp.

    Actually they removed the medals from dq rewards because there was a glitch to allow people to remove the nontradeable attribute from them and sell them for coin. So instead of fixing the glitch they simply removed the item, typical right.

    Huh. Never even heard about that glitch, and I suppose that response would make sense, better then saying "We'll fix it guys, don't worry..." if their previous attempts at 'fixing' bugs are anything to go by...

    O_O?

    Have you hard of the Scroll of Tome glitch at least? >_>

    And yes they removed medals because people were abusing the removal of the no-trade function of it.

    (you can technically still do it with other items in shop but I didn't say how or to do it.)

    I seriously expect something happening on the week of the 28th, it's well timed with sales and maint.

    My predictions:
    -2x will be flipped on.....for the "anniversary".
    -Some epic sale, like 12* orbs or r9 taking a big discount.
    -Pack Item sale like Gem and Vit stones? (Probably not...)
    -Mega cheap Pack Sale.
    -Some "event" will be flipped on. (Hope for Nien!?)
    -PWi does nothing because the hype of said MMO is too big and will flop soon after.

    My predictions:

    -Some epic sale, like 12* orbs or r9 taking a big discount.

    * They're already discounting R9 now.
    * They're already giving bonus Sage/Demon Cards


    -Pack Item sale like Gem and Vit stones? (Probably not...)

    I say if you're going to pay for power. Just be blunt about it.
    (Not more exchange the chips for materials. First ****-up)
    (Putting the Rank as badges, when its in Warsong from the dungeon. Second ****-up)


    -Mega cheap Pack Sale.
    The mandate is: If you are going to pay for power be blunt about it don't bollocks it. Put the JSoD stones, Savant stones either in a dungeon or in the cash shop or not at all. That is the demand it is also better business. Put the matchless wings straight up in the cash shop. Also you might want to think about people who are still using the lower level 90 gear. Oh yeah they're going to get the really cool super gear eventually. Uh yeah, right. Only if cough up the green.

    -Some "event" will be flipped on. (Hope for Nien!?)
    Like another automated town attack that they have GM codes for. Wouldn't want to breaking China's seal on the server code.

    -PWi does nothing because the hype of said MMO is too big and will flop soon after.

    Funny thing about hype versus facts. Yeah.
    - Sick of having to redye fashion if I want to have it a different colour and the fashion has amounts.
    - Sick of not having access to stones which should be grind-able/in the DQ shop/drop from dungeon; not in a random pack that costs money
    - Sick and tired of paying for health, mana and unfair semi repair costs as tank. Why should I have to reroll my character or more importantly ROLL a new character that can stealth through everything.

    Yeah and in 30 years time it will still be:
    - Gating dungeon runs / content with charms.
    - Gating R9 with the cash shop materials (Oh yeah that DQ Medal fiasco) remember that.

    I'm cool with "pay to win" but don't hide it. Don't hide it behind you need X number of stones/packs to get Y stone. Oh but wait those stones are super rare and their random. But it straight out there.

    Oh hang on there is another rare skill book. Oh I can't get that in my Barbarian book set because "Oh it comes from somewhere else.

    We've locked off the Rank 6 stuff and just made everyone get Rank 8 anyway. Well now we've done it.

    I could go on for hours. Then if its not a cash shop that isn't straight up its a cash shop that drives 'GOLD' that the Free to play players need for charms to stay competative but thats fine we'll milk them to just like everyone else. If you don't lose them when AH gold goes over 300~500k you sure as hell will lose them when it goes over 1 million. If not, a lot more of them.
