Hey guys, I started PW during the open beta but quit due to a dislike of the ingame movement. But now i want to give PW another try because almost everyone seems to love it.

So i have some questions:
1) How's the community for PW International now? Are the servers populated?
2) HOW CASH SHOP DEPENDENT IS THIS GAME? Perhaps the most important question. How necessary are the items for game play? I'm going blademaster...so i'm wondering if any cash shop items are TOO useful, making the player Overpowered.
3) which server should i join? Basically, which sever is the most populous, which is the least?
4) Are the GMs active? Bots? hackers?
5) What is "endgame" for PW international? I quit cabal online because there's literally no endgame, only an impossible to reach level cap.
6) Leveling exp bad? Is this a real grind?
7) How's the economy? Will new players be able to afford anything?
8) Lastly, how come last time i played, I couldn't see anyone else's customized characters? I just saw a template character for all males, and another for females.

blade master question
9) Are 1hand sword blade masters good? Can any blade master use any skill despite weapons? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using only one sword?



THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS!

    Just play and find out.. It's free to play after all (unlike WOW where you have to pay a monthly fee).

    I'm a BM myself.. I'm going for ax though cuz I want the double-dragon thingy skill :-). Swords have less dmg than axes but are more accurate, less chance of misses. Read else where on this forum for approriate build for each weapons. Check the skill tree for the skills you can learn for each type of weapons.

    1) How's the community for PW International now? Are the servers populated?
    I say its alright we me so far, I'm not in the bigger community and not knowing whats going on out there so basically I'm in my cozy little Guild :3

    2) HOW CASH SHOP DEPENDENT IS THIS GAME? Perhaps the most important question. How necessary are the items for game play? I'm going blademaster...so i'm wondering if any cash shop items are TOO useful, making the player Overpowered.
    Well I haven't explored much of the Cash Shop, but I've been wanting to buy some new covers.Either than that for me nothing so far I need to depend on Cash Shop so thats 1 person you can take off your list?

    3) which server should i join? Basically, which sever is the most populous, which is the least?
    I'm not sure about this but Lost City :D? Only reason is that I'm there :S...?

    4) Are the GMs active? Bots? hackers?
    Never seen any bots or hackers. I've never met a GM but I seen some post on these forums :D.

    5) What is "endgame" for PW international? I quit cabal online because there's literally no endgame, only an impossible to reach level cap.
    Umm not sure but probably in most game reaching the last level and getting good equipments and making new chars would be the end. Really there is not much of an end in the game unless you quit.

    6) Leveling exp bad? Is this a real grind?
    Ha! Quest of hell coming toward me so far from 1-36, but I've heard my guildmates saying its grinding hell in the higher levels, but yet I heard there are quests as well to solve those problems, also helping in FB's on lower levels give you some nice Exp :3

    7) How's the economy? Will new players be able to afford anything?
    Ugh the Economy is a real mix up for me. The mats and stuff go for a bit high, but then once you do your quest and sell some mats here and there you should be able to hang on with your skills and buying things. Just have to spend your money wisely.
    Well from what I went from scrap to the money I have now is like going up and down cause of skill costs. So you would need to watch your spending. Either than that is pretty ok not a big deal for me.

    8) Lastly, how come last time i played, I couldn't see anyone else's customized characters? I just saw a template character for all males, and another for females.
    I'm not sure what you mean by this, but I think its probably your options to make the lag less?

    blade master question
    9) Are 1hand sword blade masters good? Can any blade master use any skill despite weapons? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using only one sword?
    Um I'm not sure about 1 hand swords really. I'm a Dual swords, hoping you could find your answers in Blademaster section. Some you can use any, until you start hitting to their main skills tier such as a Sword/blade tier, fist tier, axe tier, and Spear tier skills. But the buffs and stuff are usually any weapon (I think I got what you mean?). Not sure about that last question.

    Aww quality didn't turn out as well ;(, oh well.

    Oh thank you for answering. I'll find out soon i guess. But what's this i hear about switching servers? Is this an option?

    Also, could I join your guild in game? It's very, very lonely w/o guildmates.

    Some short extension:
    2. Cash shop depends only players, but the charms especially makes your life easier. In the other hand, the exp scrolls too (i use mostly only this 2 type cash shop items, others may be useful).
    3. Depends on you. In lower levels, it dosent matter, cos you are defended from pk, after lv30, the levelling in pvp server is harder.
    5. Main goal in endgame usually participate in TWs (territory wars), or in pve making the hardest fb envrioment (we got this only with the expansion, i think).
