[9th Anniversary] PWI Memories of PWI

When pickaxes we're actually useful.. or when you learned the skills at the actual skill trainers rather than just in your skills window haha.

When you were going to BH 29, 39, 51, 59 with same people lvl and full squad.

When you wiped a couple times at FB19 before your newbie squad pulled it off~

I've got a few:
The happiness when my first ever character (a Blademaster) hit level 100 finally

When I finally (just recently actually) beat a good friend 1v1 (and recorded/ posted it Here ). I had wanted to for like 3 years and when I finally got him at the end I was so nervous I almost screwed it up XD

And just the random crazy conversations we get into in faction chat that never cease to entertain and amuse me (Tempest )

Where to start with my adventures of PWI...
It was new years of 2009 when I first began to play PWI and for the length of time I have played pwi my life has been a rollercoaster.. Pwi helped me get through some rough times in life when i needed to hide away from the world but I had those who were close to me in guild and friendwise help me out and made me feel better about myself. PWI over the years has been great but of course ive stopped playing time to time, watching pwi grow has been interesting with the new things it comes out with, starting from when they first added the tideborn classes to now with high level instances and such.
I am really blessed with playing PWI because if it wasn't for this amazing game i continue to play each year I wouldn't have met the love of my life who I have known for about 6 years and counting Thank you pwi for being there and being such an amazing game i've done so much and grown so much in game I greatly enjoy my time in game.

My favortite memory was when gold was still under 1m!!!

One of my favorite memories, Being a New player and having All the Server All star's begging me to Let them Run Dungeon's for My Tab's for FB's .... YAY xD. Enjoy the flashback's everyone:D

Back in 2007, I met the girl I fell in love with. For the next few years she was at school in another city and we didn't have much options to stay in touch beside expensive phone calls (hours and hours xD). She knew i was gamer and she found out that my favourite game was PWI (from day 1 CB/OB). So she started to play PWI although she did not like it..(she never liked much video games xD) so we could spend more time together. We spent so much time playing and chating and it was..perfect. Some of best memories from any game (and i'm mmo veteran). Now, 10 years later..the same girl and I..we're married, happy and we got a son few weeks ago. I still hop in PWI from time to time. Ty PWI...

The best and worst memory I've got in PWI was when we had the Heavenfall Challenge. I did my very best, invested bulks of time and was the ONLY PLAYER that could prove to have a legit time. That was important because it came out that the instance was glitch-able and thus the time of everyone was doubt-able.

Whats the best about it? That I was so determined and worked my way through all odds and finally achieved my goal.
Whats the worst about it? That, despite no proof for a legit time, I didn't win the challenge and other, very doubt-able players/times have won. That hurt me alot tbh.

Maybe, after all those years, I can finally cut out the worst part of it with a nice little price +winky-eyes+

For reference, this was the video I've made back in the day to prove my time:

I don't remember when, but I remember learning about some holes in the walls in BH39 and wanting to see for myself. It was fun exploring the outside of the cave. The greatest fun was finding the edge and jumping off...repeatedly.

Memories from SneakyZoe about early PWI years

I started to play PWI with 2010 on server Dreamweaver and jumped over to the European server after release date in 2011.

Baby Archer SneakyZoe in 2012
Following, I recorded an early PV run as mostly no one was used to choose this option to level up so far.
My objective was to be the 3./4. character at all and first archer on European server who was level 105.
For fast level progress I decided to have a mix of PV runs, FC runs and ZEN farmin in open world as well as finishing all questlines.

Beside, this was my first video and yeah I know - my skill for video creations is not very high

Young Archer SneakyZoe in 2013
With level 105 I tried to improve my gear and skill level and sure - its not finished up-to-now.

May you can remember the instance Dragon Hidden Den?
Here is one of our team runs from my previous faction Revision recorded:

Also at 18th of December the PWI add-on New Horizon was published followed by the re-awakening part.
Just watch at the upload date of my recorded video (20th of December) about my first FSP run. As many people still were
unhappy about disabling the hyper possibility in fc I tried out the new instance with the rare lvl100 reborn players on the server.

My quality of making videos is still very bad but luckily 4 days later our cleric was able to enter the instance and uploaded a tutorial video for beginners with nowadays 18.000 views.

There are a lot of more good memories but this would not fit into one forums thread.

Happy Birthday PWI!!!

When a channel geared Veno with a Herc was the absolute thing that stood between squad wipe and surviving instance BH39.... and opening mystery chip pack one at a time to make General Summers Tokens ... ( cries looking at all the broken mouse )....

I see a lot of post here, figured i would share too. Tbh i hate talking about pwi memories because it always bring some form of sadness. PWI was my first and still the only mmo i play, i was young and filled with excitement. At school all i thought about was how awesome pwi was and how i need to get home fast to play it, i told all my friends. I havent felt that way in a very long time. As someone who has played this game as an f2p person there isnt much left for me to be happy about. As i posted on fb probably wont be able to maintain my HS anymore with the recent change of FSD. Im at the point where i know i need to quit, but i just cant.
Lets talk about memories. I remember when we had to run from etherblade to arch, i remember when pickaxe was a must in your bag, i remember getting lost looking for npcs because we didnt have auto path, meeting so many people on the way. I remember when gold was less than 100k, i remember when getting gold armor from molds meant something, i remember the excitement we got wondering what we were getting next from general summer's chest. There is literally too much things that have lost their relevance.
I remember learning to jump quest. thats probably the first instance where i met friends, asked for help and offered help. All these memories, all these , I say start a new movement Bring back the glory of pwi https://imgur.com/a/PXjVM

i remember when gold was cheap. when a mill was alot. when ur squad didnt have a barb it would get wiped. when u had to have at least a sin barb cleric and bm and archer in most fc squads.i also remember picaxes the first time trying to pick something and it tells u nope u cant do that lol. to hitting 100 for the first time. then came rb when u finally got to rb and you started getting sky lvls and getting some spirit. its been a long road to get here but every step was worth it. because of the friends you make the memories you have the storys u tell one another. theres alot of good memories for me on pwi and im sure there will be many more to come. and even know you just changed it i remember sitting in place for hours to get all your crabs or herbs lets not forget how u used to have to dig the beans in delta and if u didnt get back in time the squad would wipe

This is the best thread ever because absolutely everyone has the same memories as me, and there are too many to list so hopefully they all get on here by different posts lol. Let me say it was always exciting to level, so you could visit the blacksmith and get the next piece of armor to make you stronger and a new weapon so you could hit harder. Until you finally could visit the forges and get some TT armor. I remember the 60's and having to grind to get to the next level, I remember TW's that lasted 2 hours or more because nobody was OP, and you had to outsmart and outplay the other faction in order to win. And also the squad wipes, especially in FF (Forgotten Frostland) FF people...........good times. super............powerful..........
