Merge all servers

Think best is dwindle two server with a one time option of server change stone for free after that 100 USD per change. One US server and one EU server open the account selling npc to our version. China’s game is actually popular with a playerbase that completely dwarfs ours with most playing on their respective times and legal toon selling while our is struggling with ping,timezone issues and banned sold accounts. I don’t think it’s hard to see what should be done

China allows toon selling. Our TOS doesn't. Why? Because we don't actually OWN our accounts. It's a common TOS legal loophole with many many sites. You can't sell what you don't own, right?

The size of China. The size of USA. I'm not surprised. I'd like to see what they're doing with this supposed graphics overhaul for the game and stuff. Make it look more modern and more new players would be interested. Look at the kind of graphics we are competing with here.

@nunator; More than that are running UPD and DHD. We're just filling the squads within our factions instead of getting randoms from World Chat. Join a high-power guild and you'll find runs.

How about we let all the former Harshlands players who were forced onto a Euro server migrate back to the US? You know, so that events don't take place at 2 in the afternoon when we're all at work. It would be nice to attend an event for the first time in over two years. Id would be nice to have a ping under 450ms again.

You cant complain about ping because european players have the same ping as you while doing xtw, xnw or arena. And noone cares about it.

2 hours per week for xtw or 166 hours per week for normal play. Yeah. Definitely equal.

lol

@heero200 we form bh everyday... i dont think.. people are coming back.. before the whole fs nerf updates (expansion) u might call it. ..we form squads during reset. and squads get filled up pretty fast. like u just literally just need 1 tele to form. and there are 3 people forming it @ the same time.. now...4 months later when you form @reset. it feels like a ghost town. im pretty sure the silent wc is a sign of players returning. or might as well be just the tele cost are pretty expensive. .. what ever the devs are doing.. they are prolly doing it wrong. idk ..but games should not be silent on any time of the day.
my only goal is to just make squads get form faster. and just basically stabilize the whole market. THE more players there is the more competitive the price of stuff will be. Everything will be easier with more people around. than a server that feels like there is only 30 people playing.

Too many dailies, too big a gear gap.

Another server merge wouldn't help beyond making it look busy until more people quit.

It is kinda confusing how we are told that we have problems because pwi make the game focussing on the pwcn playerbase,
and yet pwe is clearly focussed on the heavy cashers.
Those two conditions are mutually exclusive, so someone is not being completely honest.

I'm a minor league casher, I cash because I don't have time to farm, because I have to work for a living. Frankly I put more in than I can really afford, but even so, there's one radical idea I'd support, to try and re-invigorate the game.

Make r9 easily farmable, and by easily, I really mean EASY.

Easy like a simple questline that takes no more than, say, a month to complete, if you play a couple of hours a day.

Leave the smaller "edges" as cash/pack items like big tome, CoM, NP set, +12, top shards, 15-20AP, fine.

As it is, a new player looks at end game gear and says "5 years of farming, to get gears that'll be out of date by the time I get them? No ty, bye-bye"

And for goodness sakes, levelling nuemas and sky levels? I mean, good grief... the time that takes for players that have a life is just silly.

Gear should never have been a big cash item. Fash, flyers, mounts, by all means, spam those like a Marketing Consultant,
but making a cash-based gear gap was always going to be ultimately self defeating, since with that business model you have to constantly move the target further away from your entry-level customers.

For all those who will QQ like crazy " I spent good money on my r9 and you want to give it away? " well so did I. But what good will it do you to have your precious r9 if you're on a dead server, with only your own alts to play with?

As I see it, gear gap and the ludicrous amount of dailies required are the 2 reasons why this game is dying.

It can be remedied, it just requires the senior management to care enough to make the hard decisions.

NootNoot!

I agree with your idea, but only in part.
Yes to farmable r9 mats, but it shouldn't be THAT easy.

Considering that r9 is the best gear in the game, it should be a challenge where you put time and effort in it (with the option of speeding it up through cash shop). Not to the point of spending a year or more on it, but also not where you do something for a month and you have your r9.

Maybe a way inbetween?


But the problem here is the management/devs/whoever takes this kind of decision. I'm pretty sure hell will freeze over a couple of times before they even consider this kind of idea.

@arigatormrroboto the reason the game is active in china is due to the legal toon selling toons don’t just quit and disappear they circulate and aren’t banned out of the blue. But why do Chinese own their accounts and we don’t? That’s a weak arguement as to why they can sell toons and we can’t X.X it’s not population the game actually gets attention and care while this version Pwi has become the red headed neglected stepchild imo

Coin needs to be pulled out of the market in massive quantities, not added. Any NPC that is added would need to either a) pay in gold and not coin or b) exchange coin for valuable / useful items at a useful/reasonable/appropriate rate.

As for the argument of "I paid for [insert item here] why do you get it for free / cheaper?" A) Because that's how games work over time. Things have to get cheaper as more and more content is added or it becomes an impossible hurdle to overcome (ie: what has happened now) and Don't forget about those of us who basically farmed our MOG from DQ points.

First is time zone. Someone will gather a group of 16 PM, and someone will not be able to gather a group at 3am. Secondly, we will lose many server-to-server events. It is not interesting((( But online of course falls markedly. Can be to introduce additional parties? Marathons? More PVP content? To do interviews of players lacking game? And based on that to think what to do next. And since I have a lot of time played on the Chinese servers and Russian. There is not have live pvp, namely to remove the switch mode PC. Will batches, there will be battles in every corner of the world. I think it's interesting. Please PC mode and remove the toggle button.

I just wanted to make the point that "giving" people R9 with an easily do-able quest wouldn't flood the server with OP toons.

There are so many other things needed, imo all it would do is make competitiveness slightly more attainable for new players.

Elite gears would still be as far away as the moon, but it would make it so that being able to do high level pvp is a possibility without throwing $2-3k at the game or spending 5+ years farming it.

They still would need to spend either cash or lots of time farming to reach elite levels, but at least it would only be millions of miles away instead of light-years

Agreed. PWI would also make money to compensate for any 'losses' by generating profit in other ways. Once existing characters obtain r9, they will then invest money for the other parts of the equation. This is even more likely from existing players who already feel the sunk costs of this game and haven't left yet. If they geared one character with all the accouterments, they're likely to do so for an alt as well, especially if it can pass the first barrier for entry. Lower-geared characters that have somehow persisted using G16 and other gear for all these years are likely to make the jump as well. It looks like a threat to their bottom line, so it will likely never happen, but its a trade-off for longevity and alternative earnings.

I am from War of the Immortal now we need to fine a new game to play as we been info sadly we are closing the server down ...So many will exit to china Server to play the game or Private servers that live in the stoneage ...I have a faction many asking where I be playing ..I play Percentworld in Maysia When it first came out with many English players around the world when PWI open up only a few came over ..An then Battle of the inmortal was new an then we made up our mind to play on PWI ...

Last night downloaded Jade that game so sucks an forsaken as well ...

As we been info we going to be back dated to sept 1th in Arc credit that's kool for zenner a lot ...Like myself it be harder for these who are not ...I had a faction Largest on WOI now we need to fine a new game to play an likely be here


Or else I end up in china with everyone else .PWI Never surported the game Last GM exit in mid 2014 when PWI starting to Lie to everyone about a update that never happen ...

SO I WISH TO KNOW HOW MANY PLAYERS L ARE LEFT ON PERFECTWORLD TODAY PLEASE >>>I BE DOWNLOADING PW TOMORROW NIGHT ..we been exchanging email address now so the Legion end up on another game from start off ...5 legions


A lot of Players around 10 percent are hard core zenners

Yours KASUMI

SAXROLL Wot server are u playing on may i ask ..........An the video show many players i see playing the game it a good sign the game still alive ..So gimmie the server u on an i post it up in the Faction Message .....

Merge is coming soon or pwi will die...
for those who says Xnw will not be able to work why you need Xnw when you merge all servers and make 2 or 3 NW in that 1 server with different timing...

Xtw will still work it has nothing to do with servers its faction VS faction

TW will be more fun and will not be limited to 1 or 2 factions on map.

arena will still work
so everything is fine its just the GM's and those moderators who keep on saying its impossible to do a full merge like they used to say about the last merge.
merge servers or u dying soon

Well, ok, I can see why you said that, and I agree it should be something doable.
But at the same time it should have a minor challenge that even a newly equipped g15/g16 could do in a hour each day. Maybe an instance like lunar with a quest rater than crappy drops?

Well, whatever it is, I think that the mats should be character bound. Can't have an already r9 toon go farm for a pill baby.
