    so let me get this straght b:pleased where you can do all the available quest/instance without being pked means there shouldnt be any tw or nw on pve servers cuz it ar einstances that req getting pked

    Yeah I can understand this point of view even if I see TW/NW more as events than instances.
    TW is not really a problem because if you want to do PVE stuff only you can just not go. But talking about NW is more interesting : indeed people could choose not to go but in this case they won't be able to get some stuff. So you might say that they can also choose not to do veno's instance I guess...
    The main difference would be that after turning to PK mode for veno's instance you must wait 10h without being able to turn back to blue and you can then be pk while doing any other daily quest. When you attend to NW, you will stay blue when leaving the "instance" and can be "pk" only during his event.
    But well... I didn't want to push that discussion this far xD

    It's just a toggle in the program script. It's actually easy to change how a server behaves and what its settings are just by setting a few FALSE's to TRUE's and 1's to 0's and off's to on's.
    Actually, it's only one that you need to change from 1 to 0, and not surprised they screwed it up.

    Also, as has been previously stated many times, and also in this thread... PWE have PvE servers, and it's a difference from the way ALL the Wanmei servers are coded, so not surprised they forgot to flip it.

    Would be interesting to see no PvE servers anymore though.

    Well now they can't say they can't switch servers PVE to PVP and vice versa. xD

    Of course they can. You just change one digit in the config and then reboot the server.

    Edit: PWE can't because they can't touch/change the files, but Wanmei can do it.

    You'd be amazed. Some people considered farming a certain player because he drops valuable stuff so often.

    I'm one of those people who go and pk without gs or lock b:surrender. I bind all my fash of course because it is obviously to precious for me to lose. Just avoid killing white name players and u will drop the minimum such as pots maybe or nothing at all.

    Okay guys. Got some feedback that the message was received and now they're looking into removing the carebears that transformed Harshlands.

    Edit: Also, I learned that Sparkles is a ninja. YOU WIN THIS ROUND, SIR! BUT NEXT TIME SHALL BE MINE!

    There is a player on Archosaur that used to be notorious for this. Would drop all sorts of expensive gear only to replace it a few days later.

    Also I got my Emperor from a PK drop b:chuckle Most times people don't drop anything when I kill them except like pots or Celestine's. One time I killed a BM standing outside SZ (probably didn't realize he was out of SZ) and he dropped his weapon. I gave that one back.

    I only remember once seeing a Love Up and Down tome as a PK drop in world chat. And my thoughts were that a chance of finding someone this careless must be about as slim as the chance of getting that tome from Lucidgold chests...

    This will require a server restart to fix. We'll let you know when that will be as soon as we've confirmed a time.

    This is a simple setting that can be set to 0 or a 1 if I remember rightly. Amusing tho glad they are on the case.
