    Thank you for the update.
    Question, will this new hardware decrease the ping of countries that are quite some distance away from the server? (New Zealand)

    New Zealand is always going to have kind of crappy pings to the rest of the world as you are so very far remote. Hell you are over 1400 miles away from Australia.

    Just going by the speed of light, if there was a direct cable between Auckland, New Zealand and San Francisco, California your ping would be ~70ms (remember, multiply by 2 for roundtrip time), it is impossible to get any better than that. Now since there isn't a direct connection between those two places it has to go further than that and in practice the best you'll see between New Zealand and California will be around ~200-300ms which I know is entirely possible.

    More guilds full of brain damaged d0uches, rich people parading around +10ing and +12ing NPC grade lvl 1 weapons and Dreamchaser weapons, lots of fash and cat shops sprouting from the woodwork.

    Can't think of any more news, other than me, hai, I am a back to not retired cleric ^.^

    One ice cold Pepsi and slice of cake coming right up c:

    And I do hope the folks down in New Zealand get a nice benefit from this . . . All that lag is terrible >:

    It's pretty bad in Brisbane, Australia lately too. I'm going to assume the same is happening periodically throughout Australia. Server DC's, lags, ping sky rocketing. Server not sending information about skill clicks, etc.

    Damn! Those Koalas must be messing with PWI's signal again :<

    I farmed my extensions, pull the whole FB 19 Untamed on my cleric two or three times, and you have enough DQs to expand a handfull of banks.

    Question, Why is most stuff left forgotten and not updated?
    Honestly, I couldn't tell you with 100% accuracy. I don't work alongside the developers.
    DQ shop, the inside~game guide (Most events don't even show there), old instance glitches (Fake wall in 39) and that kind of stuff.
    The devs go back and iterate stuff all the time. Nation Wars has received a ton of updates since its introduction, and things like BH and Attendance quests get new content/changes too. Even Jones got something new. You could always point to specific areas that don't get attention, that's true of any MMO though, but that doesn't mean the devs make content then never look at it again.

    DQ shop is a real difficult situation. Each time we have a great idea to add something to it, something inevitable get in the way or we end up giving the item away through a different system entirely.
    Also, can't wait for a way to increase the bank / account stash's size even more, with all the unique and untradeable items being added to the game, I really think we need an upgrade in our storage space.

    What do you think?

    The bank and account stash is a grim outlook. I inquired and the devs are not willing to overhaul the game to add more storage space. I'm not entirely sure what to do regarding it, but I hear there are plans to address the problem aside from just giving more bag slots.

    Here. I'll quote myself from a few posts up as it's fairly similar for Australia.

    How about instead of nurfing our drops for force people to cash shop, they increase it again? more DQ more coin..specially the coin part of it...its kinda rude that all they have done is nurf our ingame ways of getting coin..not all of us can get on for NWs so we miss out on the only way to get decent gear now? lol forward that one?
