Pwi is now a dating website. Next up, How to catch a predator.

Lolgasmic - Raging Tide

Oh baby, barb LF a second wife, maybe thirds.

I'm looking forward to it, being a barb and tanking/pulling is difficult to learn and do it well when one has never done it before. I'd be happy to help out in that respect, and more.

Also all the people spazzing out about pedophiles? Where have you been.....? This is the internet, its always been here. b:sin


Here's a semi-related topic should anyone be interested.

My point for linking it, is exactly what Jack is getting at: Everyone is anonymous.

Now this matching thingy....is.....bit......furiously.....disturbing b:shocked

Going to be forever alone just for the sake of my mental health while playing PWI now b:surrender

Angel_Spawn - Sanctuary

I can see how the increased ( I bloody hope it is) blacklist will serve its purpose just fine.

MeiLilana - Dreamweaver

The people of Dreamweaver know that this function is being implemented solely for someone whose name rhymes with Cakaveli.

All joking aside, there is an option to seek a friend, mentor or lover but where is the option to become a mentor?

Spectralis - Sanctuary

I totally agree with a lot of comments to this post, the matching system simply fails by given the gamer an option to find a lover, really ridiculous.

The system should have some kind of disabling buttom, to allow the gamer to use those options they want to use, like the pk buttom does.

Considering the mentality of the majority of ppl on this game, and their purposes to be in: it is reasonable to think that the "find a lover" option will create an uncomfortable, perturbing and also misunderstanding situations among gamers.

Isn't the marring system of this game more than enough?, Why giving gamers tools to
simply annoy others?, we have enough with the so - abused wc channel already.

PWE must consider seriously, the stuff it brings to the game: or the game: will have a big fall that it wont easily recuperate from.

I welcome new things and think you're being way too harsh over something you have no experience with yet.

Enjoy new content.
Every change forced by the player base pushes us further out of sync from the parent version and creates more bugs.

Seriously,
Chill out.

There are way more important things that ought to be worked on. Use the system or mess around with it a couple weeks.

Then complain when you're more versed in the.topic.

Lesthar - Heavens Tear

The whole world chat samples of silly, rude, perverted roleplaying already creeps me out.
One better not annoy me while I happily quest or harvest, or will face a nice barrage or sarcasm. b:laugh

In fact, I wouldn't mind meeting more kind people, but I seriously doubt PWI is the right platform to do it. b:surrender
GMs, prepare yourselves to get flooded by more harrassment-related tickets from random people. *madly laughs*

I sure as hell hope there's an opt out option, whether it's literally 'opt out', or you can just leave it alone period.f:gross

I'm super doubtful on this. We already are forced to get through red spam from the bids, the events, the pack results and other system messages that are sincerely optional.
Oh and yes, horns. Darned horns b:scorn

Manostra - Harshlands

Pwi is getting more and more absurd each day. Here i go browsing the forums after months of absence and first 3 things i read was :

1. I need some extra software now to download pwi , will become mandatory in the future to play it.

2. Some Dungeons was not in the last update, even russia got them

3. Dating tool for PWI

Sorry but thats just hillarious

If you remove all shops, i wonder how much player would be logged in on the servers right now doing something aside from being afk.

The system could work, minus the under 18 option, however, and this is a BIG HOWEVER, there are far too many immature, sub-human, intellectually insufficient, trollish, moronic, inept idiots that play this game to even consider it being viable, especially on RT.

So, no thanks.

I've had enough in game wanting to marry me without this ****.

Fiery_Demon - Heavens Tear

Well the "find a friend" part of it is a nice addition, since all my "friends" either quit, aren't online when I am or won't ever talk to me again after adding them to my list. So I hope I'll meet some new people this way b:victory

I don't even want to imagine what's it like as a female toon in PWI. I have few female toons but I inform very quickly who I am so they don't creep/troll on me. Sometimes some girls (or GIRLs) do come at me like: " Ooh your toon is so hot! Do you have a girlfriend? "

Knowing the playerbase of RT this will include some serious trolling...

The problem is that PWI is opening themselves up to a lot of legal issues by having no form of age verification for each account.

Well FB doesn't have verification either.

Edit: About the under 18 part, I think it makes sense. I mean think about it. If it was only 18+ those under wouldn't actually not use it; they'd just lie about their age. Besides, there is a ton of -18 players.

With so many people hating, maybe PWI should give it a week or 2 and then make a poll for "keep it" or "drop it"

Well, serious opinion, I'll be fine with it if I got the choice if I want to appear in other peoples list. If it comes with people being able to contact when I'm not even using the system, I'd hate it. Being a female, people already hit on you enough <<

WannaBM - Archosaur

I must say i was disapointed when i saw this feature.

When it was pre anounced, i had hoped for some feature to find people to do quests / instances / farming with. Would have been a great opportunity to improve that aspect. But no, we get a bull**** function instead.

The whole age thing is irrelevant though. Who cares.

_Thia_ - Dreamweaver

So...when do you guys put a condom vending machine in the dark halleys of archosaur? Or do they come in packs too?

Vitenka - Dreamweaver

An expanded "looking for group" interface is a good thing...

But.... "Interests"? "Looking for Love"? this is beyond creepy. Seriously, what were they thinking?

Agreed. We're not sure exactly how it'll go quite yet, and I'm sure for those who find it distasteful, it won't be mandatory. For those who want to use it, use it for your benefit, and let others do as they will. Child monitoring is not solely the responsibility of PWI, and claiming that they should be more responsible and children-friendly on this game [ which is laughable considering world chat, PWI's current drama, some of the Quests' storyline being a tad bit mature, and just the general INTERNET] is just an unnecessary bite towards the company.

If everyone would treat this new feature maturely, then it would give us or the gameplay little issue, I'm quite sure.

Transcend - Lost City

MMO's usually have a Looking For Group tool, while PWI has a Looking For Lover tool.. seriously?

The last thing you'd want is PWI to be 'the' game that promoted AND facilitated sexual activities for minors.

Does no one at PWE use their heads anymore? WTF are you guys doing?!

Colum - Raging Tide

I'm sorry but when it comes to predators, they do not need this "perfect match" to find a victim. It probably just gets them to **** themselves up, honestly.

At Raging Tide I bet under 18 year old people put they're over 18 and over 18 year old people put they're under just because the server is full of immature trolls. b:surrender

Other games have a system to form squad according to your level, class and the instance you want to do... that perfect match system is just useless since the only options to find are "friend", "lover" and "mentor"... there's not an option such as "find a squad" or "find squad member"... :S then what the hell is this for.. dating websites have that purpose already, why adding this to a game..

While I would have loved for PWI to implement a "Find Squad" feature along with this, I'm willing to wait and see if this is the start to what will be a more elaborate system of Friend/Partner finder. Maybe in the future, they will grant us a system to find Squads and Factions that match with our interests.

Also, there was always an encouragement for 'e-dating' in the game. Its called Marriage.

Yep seriously and no they do not use their heads.

I agree it's very inappropriate, but what really REALLY irritated me is they also added a button you can press that will put all players in very sexual undergarments, males and females both, with the outfit varying depending on class (one female version has the butt crack showing). Wherever you go, no matter what fashion you have or what INI edits you did, anyone at any time can click a button so they see you in a sexy bra/brief set.

I was going to use the find-player thing to find teammates to fight with, but it looks like it'll only be used by horny teens looking to cyber. I can't imagine anyone taking it seriously or using it for any other reason.

A find-a-lover tool implemented along with a button to put all members in bras/sexy mini briefs? That really bugs me out.

I wouldn't mind the sexy underwear replacing the regular undies that show when you have no fashion equipped, but I don't want other people taking off my clothes without my permission, that's just weird.

Why would the site make an option to put ALL players in porny outfits and then add an option to "find a lover" ? What kind of game IS THIS? It was 13+ not 18+ last time I checked.

Kinda hard to roleplay when one of the choices for hobbies is 'television'.

On the other hand, there are apparently time-traveling motorcycles in ancient China, so why not TVs? b:chuckle
