[Complete] For Players with PWI Accounts that are 7 Years Old!

Yet another slap to those of us who have been playing since 2009.

Character: Flare
Server: Heaven's Tear (Etherblade)
Account Creation: August 26, 2008




My favorite expansion is Rising Tide. This expansion allowed me to obtain shiny gear and fully realize my shininess potential. As you see my display name is celestial, so I am crazy about making my character shiny/white. The TT99 gear only gave part of the shiny feel to it. Once Rising Tide came, the set of white gear changed it all, especially those Unicorn Axes.

The gear was not easy to obtain at all. I had to make connections that I never thought I would have. I made new friends in order to run Nirvana almost endlessly to obtain the best/shiniest gear of its time.

People would ask me where I got my axes and armor. I even tried my best to keep the origin of the axes and armor a secret in order to not have someone else looking like me.

During the time of Rising Tide, I was known as the shiniest BM on Heaven's Tear.

This is my archer Castleberry, the second character I ever played. Her home was on Heaven's Tear. (now Etherblade) This was my favorite ever fashion, sadly I dyed this dress and ruined it .... LOL. Never could get that color back.

My Favorite expansion to date has been the Primal World addition including Reawakening. The ability to expand your character and have a second and third chance to build the stats caused me to retry certain characters that were previously abandonded.

This is justbarb, the newest character on an account that started back in December of 2008 on Heaven's Tear (Now Etherblade) with another barb, wolfelder. He's standing just outside Lost with his white tiger cub, named junior. They make a cute couple running around Arch together. My favorite expansion would have to be Rising Tide, since it set the pace for future expansions. Plus, I do have fun with my assassin and mystic, though the untamed will always be my favorites.

Alright, time for my entry!

Character: Desdi
Server: Twilight Temple (previously Sanctuary)
Playing since October 30th 2008

Well, Desdi is not exactly my "main" now, but this is first and oldest account (and Desdi is the oldest character) I have, so I'm posting with/for the same character again.

Screenshot:


My super cool mount!
This is an old screenshot from the days when Desdi still had white hair and a poor girl's fashion (not the colours I want, no matching shoes etc.). I think I was around level 60 there. When it comes to mounts, I've always preferred the simpler ones. I don't know why, but all the big, flashy mounts don't attract me. I have two favourite ones; the Quick Sika Reindeer and the Black/Vicous Raptor.

I picked the Reindeer for this contest for two reasons: the Raptor has been buggy for months so I've kinda stopped using it because it bothers me looking at the character floating instead of sitting. The second reason is that this is the oldest screen with my character-on-a-mount I could find. Considering this is still kinda a "trip down memory lane" contest, I wanted to find an older screenshot again.


Favourite Expansion:
This was a bit difficult to pick because I have two expansions I could consider as "favourite". These two would be Perfect World International: Descent and Perfect World International: Sirens of War. For this contest, however, I'm going to pick Descent!

Descent introduced Morai, which was a great addition to the game. Morai brought a set of new skills for every class. With the exception of Assassins/Psychics who were pretty good skill-wise at the time, all classes got really useful skills that greatly boosted their abilities and performance, especially in PvP.

Apart from skills, Descent introduced other nice things to the game. Morai gear allowed players to get cheap, good gear for PvE. It may have lost its value nowadays, but back then it was a big deal because casual/poor players had a chance to get pretty good for a low cost compared to other options. Morai Orders offered other goodies as well like free COF letters from Luminance, a second PV token from Shroud and more. The Morai quest line gives a lot of EXP and it has an interesting story. Then there are also things like EU and AEU instances.

PWI was generally at its best during that time. Thanks to a couple of content updates that happened before/after that expansion as well.



​​

I am also not sure if I qualify but here goes. I started playing PWI around the time of their first expanion with genies. I was originally on Lost City, a PVP server. I was not too fond of getting killed while trying to level up especially being new to the game. So my friends and I transferred to Heaven's Tear. They have since stopped playing and I am still around on what is now my main Arynx on Etherblade.

Favorite Expansion? Hmm I honestly don't know. As an Archer we haven't received too many "great updates" to our skills and what not. Although the one where I felt like I really got more interest and wanted to do more to my archer was after Reawakenings and War Avatars were introduced. I was so excited to see if I could break over 900 dex which I have done, and I am one more 105 away from having a comfortable max at 926. Also the fact that I love TCGs, I played Yu-Gi-Oh, and Magic the Gathering, which is what really got me into the Avatar System. Though, it fell short of my expectations. I feel like PWI could've made a lot more off of it as an in game TCG, than just gambling for cards. For me, an expansion that drives me to compete really piques my interest. And from Sirens of War onwards the game has been able to keep my interest and keep me playing.

Character: DarkFightrLC
Server: Twilight Temple (Lost City)

I`ve been playing the game since November 2008 and the game was fun for me throughout.
But the game started dieing a bit with high levels having nothing to do after reaching a saturation point in the game.
In comes PWI: Descent



The new area introduced, Morai was tons of fun to explore na dhaving something to do again. New gears, skills and quests in a beautiful and well designed area.
It kind of grabbed alot of intrest and brought few players back too.

Also the update following Descent, PWI: Sirens of War was pretty good too as it made Niravana 3 (G16) gears accessible for more. It did kill the Niravana instance ( the once most popular instance) but it was a huge stepping stone in PWI history.

So Thanks PWI for these wonderful updates and keep them coming

Hi sheepclouds,
I did create collages in last contest, I hope this was still within the rules.
This time i took just one screenshot, but tbh it's hard to make a screenshot where you can recognize a "face" + "show fashion/gear/whole body + mount/flyer" + get a nice background.

I also got another idea for a contest: create a photomontage with at least four toons of your account/ same account

Can we partecipate here even if we posted in the previous one?

Well figured i'd jump in and see where i land

Honestly, this game has continued to surprise me with each expansion, i don't think i could pick a favorite. i've been around since the closed beta and seen the game go thru some incredibly drastic changes, while grinding daylies gets dull at times above all i think it was the friends i have had that kept me coming back and playing, from the first time i joined from early of game play. (sadly no early game pics, as i lost all my screens when my computer failed T^T)

(extra points if you can guess exactly where this was taken!

The Raging Tides Expansion:


The Morai and Earth Gaurd Expansion:


When they changed abba and SoT:


Tho i have to say it was definitely my friends that kept me interested, most of whom don't play anymore, from this cute pic of my favorite mounts (me and my roomate respectively):


I'll close with a few pics from the most memorable times i have had in game in no particular order, (i'll leave direct links as the forums lack spoilers to condense the images):

Best Expansion: Rising Tide



In the coldness of mid December of 2008 I was playing a single player game quite heavily when I came across a bug that meant I had to stop playing while I waited for the developers to fix it. During that time I decided I would try to play an MMORPG and after searching the internet for one that would fit, I decided to give PWI a go. I decided to start on Sanctuary, current Twilight Temple server, and came across a nice guild. Still keep in contact with some of them even if that guild is gone since over 5 years now. My first character was a barb because I wanted to be tanky but in all honesty I did not do very well on that, and later on found that caster classes are a better fit for me. I might have started PWI because of an accident but now it is 2015 and I am still around.

When the EU server started up I decided to move to there and currently my main is SannaForYou which is a stormbringer. Still using the same account from 2008 even if the Dawnglory server is my main hunting ground now.

My favorite expansion would need to be the Rising Tide expansion because that is when I found psychic's and that changed the game totally for me. Still remember that full day of playing, trying to race friends to gain those levels, as well as the unity it brought the guild and the server, as people needed a lot of help and we all did our best to support each other. I think that was something very special and even if it has been mirrored in the game since then, I think that first big expansion with new classes was very special.



Me and my favourite statue in the game. The fashion is a mix of after hours and school girl.

My character name is LoVeAnGell (cleric,my main now still),she was created in 2009 , month 7 day 4,server Harshlands (Downglory now)but i would still like to share her story .

And this is her now^^
