1. Comprehension 2.0 sounds more like a big expansion (or maybe PWI 2.0) which is set in a whole new world map.

2. The new world in question is dynamic in nature: each and every of your action can change the map, the buildings, the npc's, your battle pet, gameplay, quests, rewards etc... (sounds like 'dynamic events' from you know where... but this might better: dynamic world v/s local dynamic events)

3. It seems that level would not matter anymore: anyone in the comprehension 2.0 will have same level. (no more pwlvl )

4. There is a new stats system. No specific detail about it. It only says that there are 4 different new stats and its about developing the spiritual soul and the physical body.

5. New battle pet system, each pet has different personalities, 100's of available skills. Each battle pet will be unique.

6. Server war (might be a major change to nation war to accommodate players from different servers)

7. Google translate the name of the expansion as 'comprehension 2.0', it can also be referred as 'cultivating the truth' or 'developing the true-self' (its more likely it is making a reference to some Chinese-related philosophy on how to be perfect)

8. Release date in China is 2 April. My guess is that it will come to the international servers in 3 to 6 months. We are still expecting panda/ninetails form, new nw map, eu server merge, weapon fashion, tw reset to come along in our own upcoming content update.

I'd say it will come on PWI anniversary LOL. But seems the update its cool and interesting

kayeeee

Sounds pretty interesting although I'm quite confused as well. It does sound like it's a new version of PWI but at the same time it doesn't x.x

Alexis - Lothranis

Wow this sounds like too awesome to be true. Don't fully trust google translate to get too excited about this so..

*patiently waits for someone with chinese comprehension to translate*

Brillance - Raging Tide

Doesnt seem to have been mentioned yet - just a lot of stuff about Barbs and Venos.

Barbs need something, since they haven't quite recovered from the release of Caster's Nirvana yet.

Anything for Mystics?

I know what I am doing April 2nd. b:scorn

Kwandelan - Heavens Tear

From what I read on that Chinese link(using Google Translate), it seems to me that:

1) they are opening a new "instant-max lvl" server. The new server will NOT affect the normal gameplay of current PWI. You will be able to instantly make a new account/character there if you are atleast lvl 40+ and Aware of harmony on your character in pwi. If I read it right, you will get high lvl character and high lvl gold gear instantly for free on the new server if you meet the requirements.

2)Coming back to the current pwi servers, there will be a 24/7 active pvp instance(similar to NW) you can enter to fight against players of different servers. Also there will be 2 new map layouts for TWs, besides the current TW map.

3) The current original pw map will be getting extended with new areas to travel. Also if seems after stealing too many concepts already from the biggest MMORPG game of all time which has a monthly subscription, PWI will yet again have another interesting concept of player interaction with NPC factions. Im not sure, but it does seem like players will now be able to gain favour with specific npcs throughout the world starting with the Qing Emperor's envoys that will be introduced in the next major expansion. The players will thus will be able to buy pots/gear/stuff for cheap than regular prices/repairs might cost less than usual if you hold enough favour, etc.

Indeed, I noted that when I saw the date a second time earlier today.

But wasn't sure is April's Fool was an international fun day or not.

Yeah, it is pretty obvious by the fact that it takes quite a few hitting on a decent barb...just to tick his charm. Barbs should be right up front of the line with wizards and archers ready for a big fat nerf stick.

I think Seekers would be up front, ijs b:angry

OMG... this had BETTER be a separate game, because I like PWI how it is, and if they make me lose my gear, character, level, or change the game in a matter such as this in general, I swear I'll beat the Chinese people who made this with a nerf stick b:angry

1) We are in March not April
2) April Fools is on April 1st not April 2nd
3) April Fools is a western tradition not chinese
4) The news post isn't even funny.

Who would think it's a joke?

Yeah but, this is a NEW game right? I'm serious, I don't think this game needs this kind of change. Or at least give us the option to opt out of this rubbish China is coming out with, and continue to play the game we love. Kind of like another game, which brought back their old school servers. Two different games, just under the same title. b:chuckle

True, this is something that the GMs and Devs need to personally address, and soon. Because I'm about to start getting r9, and with cash. I won't do so until I know my investment isn't going to be for nothing within the next year.

Narcillatrix - Dreamweaver

Wait, wait, wait...A new server that instantly gives you high level stuff? o.o;;
Ummm....that almost sounds like a private server...No thanks...What's the point of playing that?

GM will not tell you do don't get R9 for future, they won't say something that will make people stop spend money in the game.

That's just treachery and deceit, and will make them lose an even BIGGER player base. Lying to the people that pay your bills is a bad idea. It's called biting the hand that feeds you, and we have every right to know if our RL money is going to be for nothing. Instead, a more appropriate way for them to handle this is to be honest, and tell us. Give us something to look forward to in this new game, something to keep us interested. Look at console games that give you DLC in between in game releases for a particular series. Something like this would help keep at least SOME of their player base, instead of causing us to mistrust them. Keeping the people happy should be of the UTMOST importance to them in a scenario like this.

PWI isn't well known enough to be able to afford to lose the amount of people that will likely go elsewhere if they follow a deceitful course. They don't have commercials on TV like some of the more well known MMOs, only YouTube vids that advertise to already established players, maybe picking up a few new people. The only TRUE advertising that PWI gets is by word of mouth, and if I tell my buddies that this game company kept a replacement game under wraps until after I spent $1000 or more for end game gear, and then I lost it, do you think my buddies would play a game made by PWE? Likely not.

I'm sorry to say this but this is PWI what do you expect. This game has almost no respect for it's player base. The only reason they might try to appeal to us is if they are losing money due to players leaving because they realize how broken this game is. All they care about is our money and that's it.
