Do you think r9 is still worth it?

CUTEandSOFT - Lost City

I've been playing PWI for 3 years now and always dreamed of getting r9rr for my psychic. I have all 3rd stage r9 molds and badges. Now that I'm out of college and have a job I have some disposable income after bills. I want to buy r9rr, but with the current decline in population I feel it will just be wasted money. I still really enjoy the game, even after trying out other popular MMO releases. I still come back to this game and it's easy for me to get hooked again. Do you guys think r9rr is still worth it in my case or should I save my money?

Save your money and WORK for R9 instead. (In game work)

Xx_BeLLa_xX - Harshlands

That, just farm it in game.

SashaGray - Heavens Tear

Farming real life is more efficient than farming game. If its worth it or not is still a subjective determination.

I don't know enough about you to know if you'd want to buy it or not. I will say that if you have extra money, and you feel like it, and you'd have fun, then who cares what you do? It's up to you, spend your disposable money however you see fit. Buy r9, preorder a PS4, go see a movie, it's all whatever.

Decus - Dreamweaver

Do whatever you want with your money. Whether an in-game accomplishment is "worth it" or not is matter of your own personal opinion. Nothing anyone says on the forum can really change your feelings on it. I think you are better off putting that money in a savings account or maybe treating yourself to a fancy meal every so often. That's just my opinion, though.

Quoted for truth.

I've farmed my r9 and am just about to finish farming my r9rr armor. It definitely feels great to achieve the goal rather than cashing it, but if you feel like csing I'd limit myself to something like 10-20/mo to stay in line with other p2p games.

It's very easy to get carried away with the "power" money buys you, especially if you earn a decent salary. Stay disciplined!

Infamous_me - Archosaur

Do as u wish with ur money. If u still have love for the game and want it and have the money to spend get it. Nobody here can decide what u should do with ur money. But if I had the money just to get it now I would, bc I dont see myself quitting anytime soon. Game is still fun for me. Do what makes u happy friend. Grats on school and gl with ur choiceb:victory

Wickedbrew - Raging Tide

When r9 first came to be, maybe yes it was worth it, but the state of the game, the lack of new people, the loss of others that have quit over the years, not so much worth it now. Farm if if anything if you want it that badly.

Buying it is like a lottery. It all depends on how long PW remains fruitful for paying bills, and after many MMOs over a 15 year period, I personally don't trust the longevity of the game to warrant the spending of that kind of money, but having said that, its your money to do as you please.

70 inch television.
New pc build
75 to 100 dvds
Food for almost four months for a small family
A couple of vacations to exotic places
Down payment on a decent car
Savings for a down payment on a future house
Money put away for times of need
Bills paid for a few months
Necessities of life you can use now

Remember, when PW pulls the plug, r9rr +12 JoSD was only pixels on a screen and when all is said and done its gone.and gone forever. Do you want to be pro in a game for a little while, or contribute to the benefit of your life in the future? That is the question you need to ask yourself.

Personally, I have a few accnts & many IGNs 100+. I farmed my r9 gear mostly, & granted it did take considerably longer, my soon2be 105 r9 Cleric is far superior to even fully r8 s3 +12. Be careful about going hog wild w/ any spending spree & be wise w/ monies here, and have extraordinary fun farming the r9. With the right Faction & proper dedication, it is easy enough to accomplish.

Enjoy b:pleased

Eoria - Harshlands

In terms of the game, I do think it's worth it to get r9, BUT I don't really think it's worth it to straight up CS it. As someone else detailed earlier, there's a lot of other stuff you can buy that would be more beneficial to you overall.

Azura - Lost City

I would wait for a server merge. If they merged your server, I would probably think is worth to cash shop.

seitori

Honestly, I'd only pay real cash for any R9s now, only if I was really desperate...

But I would say that what many others have already said here is truly the best bet for you Farming it now a days isn't as hard as it used to be, so if ya really wanted it you could always combine part of it as real cash for it, but do the rest of it as farming so you can save yourself some real coin....b:victory

fireblood

Buy it man. DO IT :P

venoids

when somehow the game is totaly end although its already dead by now, and u all can think about where r the money u spent? this game its not worth to spent a dollar also the prices are totaly stupidly ridic for just a game rofl n thats my awesome spiderman's instinct of opinion though.

Desdi - Sanctuary

Your money, your choices.
Whether R9 is worth it or not is something subjective and only you can decide. If you feel that you're still going to be around and playing for a pretty long time, then go ahead.
If you're unsure about how much you'll be playing then I'd say save the money.

HrunsPanda - Archosaur

I dont think it has anything to do with declining players....

Anyway,

Now go spent your money on PWI and help to keep my game running !

Deadalus - Harshlands

Its up to you and how much you want that equipment.

When you have spare money, go ahead and buy the set. I wont suggest you to farm it, it will take way longer then working it out in RL for the money, but ofc you can spend your RL money on so many things, what you do with it, its up to you.

When you farm it, way more time will pass till you finally have it and dont let anyone tell you its easy and its done fast, its not. Its faster then it was when it was released, sure but it still take a long time till you have the set + weapon.

Alsiadorra - Sanctuary

Note the past part of the above post - weapon.

Thats the hardest part of farming it, and hurts the most when "buying" it.


..And no, at this stage in the games life, spending 1500 bucks for R9 is not worth it. There's no guarantee the game will be around for more years to come.

800-900 of that can be used to buy you a better faster computer. The rest towards new games/consoles. Or even food..

Ultimately its your choice, I am not sure which server you are from. I spent money on game to get r999+11 but if I were given a choice to do it again I would not. Money is not a problem its pocket change for me but point is I got r999 for nothing since PvP on our server is dead and TW has been 1 sided for last few months.

So question is if you get r999 what use would it be for you?

This is the same story in almost every server PK is dead, TW is 1 sided & ppl are mostly interested in Nation Wars. R9r3 is now just left for showing off that I'm R9R9. b:chuckle

Apostasy - Raging Tide

PvP is dead at the moment except for various times, find those time slots and you will see pk. They are usually after certain events because thats when the most people are on still.

TW on Raging Tide used to be one sided... although that has seemed to flip from Vicious (for the last 2-3 seasons) to QQme (this season, atm)... The battles between these 2 factions have been 1 hour 30 minutes+ (to the full 3 hours even). This is hardly considered one sided, considering when Vicious dominated the TWs were 15-30 minute rolls... and can easily still flip the other direction on any given week. Vicious has been recruiting fairly hard, as can be figured from seeing the new members they have been picking up recently. And as a QQme member myself, I am truly hoping the battles start going back and forth as to the victors each week to keep more suspense as to the end season results. But dun tell my faction members that b:quiet b:avoid

As far as what gear to choose, enjoy the game and get what you feel is good for you. Do not worry about what others are doing or will say about your choices. Do not worry about the "blah blah blah game is dead" jibberish... Scroll back in the forums over the YEARS worth of threads as far back as you can scroll back... The game according to those threads "has been dead for years". And yet, here we are. Hearing the same "blah blah blah".

Me personally, I went R8r gears and Warsoul Recast weapon... Took me the T2 Nirvy Helm & Cloak... Cube Neck, Jungle Belt (the one you need jungle stones to make, not that cheap *** one), got the 300k rep JUST to get the R9 ring mind you (even though thats the only R9 piece I have or will get atm), gots me a 20 mgc and +1% crit tome, and an 87/100 genie with lots of fun stuff suited to my being a DEMON Psy. And tbh, there are plenty of R9rr geared that I own 1v1 or battles go back and forth with as far as who wins... I simply am designing my character to the stats and gears I want.

So do what tickles your **** the right way b:cute, it is your money... there are much worse things to spend it on... And it is all too likely you will enjoy this "dead game" another 4-5 years b:victory

OIdpop - Heavens Tear

If I thought it was worth it I would have got it a long time ago and I been playing going on 5 years now,to me no it isn't worth it,unless I could get my money back for buying it,MMO's lack in the pro department of gaming unlike FPS shooters to where you can actually go pro make some cash flowb:laugh

Im waiting to see the next crush pwe does on its players that acquired such gears its going to be epic.

The only thing pushing for such gear is TW and NW..wow how cool.PVP is stank in this game and always has been due to its hefty cash shopping unbalance..but that's my 2 cents worth.

Unitarium - Archosaur

Hey OldPop

Can you tell me stats for this armor when reached grade 16 ?

☆☆Spirit of Justice pls

Reliea - Sanctuary

I never thought r9 was worth the cost of it, so I'd still say no.
That being said, I guess if you are one of the ones who consider it the only end game option, farm it, don't cash shop it, like most people said.
You'll get a much greater feeling of satisfaction for the amount of time/energy it will take to make your goal happen.

Vinat - Sanctuary

With chips on sale at 50% off it's approximately $2.40 USD per GST to outright purchase R9 with RL money. If I recall correctly it's 205 GST in total, so about $500 if you buy them all now. If you also need the medals and the rep... you can do that math yourself.

Beleni - Dreamweaver

As most people have stated it is your decision.

I have known people to buy Rank 9 then quit the game after ( directly ). perhaps they just wanted to quit the game but couldn't until they felt they have completed it.

Also if you do Buy rank 9 items, where does it stop...
After all rank 9 itself is not over powered, you will need refines and shards too.

so perhaps if you were to buy it, limit yourself to $50 a month so you can see your character grow.

Or just out right farm it.

I had alot of fun farming and gathering materials to make my R9 armour set.
it took me just over 2 months as barb to finish it off.
of course it is still a work in progress, I now have to make it r9.3 and refine and shard it.
