Hey everyone,

This week we'll be having maintenance tonight from:

8PM PST to 11PM PST

This maintenance will update PWI to patch 767, which includes a small handful of text fixes. Patch notes can be found here.


Maintenance Question of the Week:

What is your favorite quest chain, and why?

    I don't have a favourite quest chain and why! But my favourite song is If I Only Had A Brain.

    WTF?? It cannot be ending tonight since "ending" implies it actually started. The santa NPC does not show up on heavens tear. I have not managed to do this event once.

    what about other broken stuff such as the new cleric buff not having hp and mp regen, having to relog if you autopath on a mount, and other various issues?

    favorite quest chains are Goshiki chain and spirit foxform chain

    also,will forum avatars bug out with this reincarnation system or what? i dont get why they wouldnt simply be based on our 1st Historical character to avoid avatar bugging out (like mine zzz).

    and whats with the lag been getting freezing lag in remote areas like bh79 going from 100 ms to 30k ms?

    Ooh o,o..first page?~

    Edit: Favourite quest chain?
    I did love the Goshiki one but also the lvl100 Venomancer one for the new fox form. Both of them had interesting stories.
    The Primal World quest chain is quite interesting too. Morai one had a nice story too.

    So basically neither the santa event nor the flame festival work and your solution is to remove them? Uh, well thanks.

    Ending would imply it was working previously. You are halting the service of a broken event that was not able to be started, completed, or even half-completed.

    Maintenance Question of the Week:

    What is your favorite quest chain, and why?

    The one where you consistently **** up TW times every expansion and then start maintenance two weeks in a row DURING ****ing TW.

    Nobody does the Santa event anyway, the rewards are horrible. Let us TW thanks.
    there are no stupid questions, just a lot of inquisitive idiots.

    Second time in a row you cheat people out of Monday Territory Wars??? How absurd and idiotic is that? Why schedule a war on a day maintenance is being held, not once BUT TWICE? Wow can you guys get any less respectable?

    Wow. Never-working events ending and some text fixes.... What is with Morai server, will we get our broken instances fixed? Just to remind you, Fb51, Delta and Guild Bases not working, earth boss bugged in WS and dunno what else....

    (And dont dare to bore me with standard answers like EU forums and support.... EU GMs and support are non-existant, and noone of the PWI staff gives a **** about that so Morai players are completly left alone....)

    I wonder is it because it is close to new year, that is why they are having maintenance on Monday night or that is when maintenance will be from now on?

    Thanks for letting our faction lose a land and then not gain one back, real favourable there

    Oh FFS SERIOUSLY???

    I get today off so I can prep up for the stupid New Year's Drunks and THIS is what you do? Can I have my zen back then? This is ridiculous I've been planning on this TW (and yet again it gets screwed over)b:shutup

    Can you not fail any harder when it comes to scheduling maint and sheet? You broke the events, you fooped up on TW and the D-orb fiasco just about caps it all. Make 2014 less fail and I might consider actually playing a bit more :/

    Keep in mind that this is the second week in a row that they've done this to us; monday maintenance is fine, but I implore you to please push the maintenance back a few hours just like the normal maintenance times. Or get rid of this Monday 20:00 TW time slot. b:angry

    If you're seriously going to just fix these 'text', it's lame in my opinion. Fix the freakin TW times and thanks again for jacking up the TW times and also last week's TW on Monday and today's. z.z. Also, I agree with SxeChik, you guys screwed over after the incident.
