    PWE Devs are working to fix the issues from last night's patch.

    No ETA yet on when the servers will be back up.

    We like to be in the game too b:victory

    Please keep assumptions and rumors as just that, do not take those as truths.

    Please look for official posts from Admins here on the forums in regards to the emergency server maintenance.

    Oh, thought this was the same message again?? b:pleased

    We aren't allowed to say anything until the devs tell us and things get tested.

    Have a little bit of faith that PWE is doing the best they can to get the game back up!

    And yes, we do play! b:victory

    lol ^_^ that sucks

    Can't they just admit someone lured Chin in the server room and it killed and destroyed everything. Now their technicien have less experience since they had to go back to town. Considering they have to walk back to work and repair everything it's not gonna be up soon.

    Because I pay to play and not to fix things. The ones that fix things get paid to do so. Maybe they should worry a bit more with a good tech support and a bit less selling items in boutique at outrageous prices. So it's up to tech to fix and up to me to pay and play. Correct?

    I feel that this is offending. The GMs are working their butts off trying to get this fixed so that we may play again. No, you choose to pay to play this game. And, how exactly do they have bad a tech support if they have a right to with hold information that is critical to fixing the game? Just because they have not fixed the game as fast as you may have liked, does not mean their tech support is not trying as hard as they possibly can to fix the problem. For all we know, their whole department may be scrambling to fix the problem are are not paying attention to comments like these so they CAN fix the problem.

    Having fun reading these people who haven't the slightest clue about server databases and tech mechanics?

    lol I'm surprised this topic hasn't been locked yet with all this "oh no, something bad happened, let's all fret and blame the GMs for everything"

    To the idiots posting about possible legal action, stop.

    The ToS are completely impregnable on that front.

    the reserve the right to do whatever they choose. Aggravating? Yes. Illegal? Not at all.

    Shut up about it, they're not going to **** us like that. Have some faith.

    Not quite true. The GM's do play as normal players in their free time to test things out. Some things just can not be properly tested with a GM character and the powers that come with it.

    I refer to your latest discharge of plebeian verbiage; in which, you have proven, once again, that there is no such thing as unutterable nonsense. How about putting that into proper syntax, form, and grammar so that I can at least understand what you are saying before I dismiss it?

    It seems your fingers not only did your typing, but did your thinking too. Have you considered suing your brain for non-support? If you're going to say something that ignorant, you could at least fake a stroke. Well, you're certainly thoughtless; I just wish that you were keyboard-less, too. You bring to mind a quote from Josh Billing: "Doesn't know much, but leads the league in nostril hair."

    You are a bore, and a very dull one at that. Is there anything I need to know about you other than your a grungy social outcast? Maybe you wouldn't come across as such a jellyfish-sucking mental midget if you weren't so stupid that even single-celled organisms out score you in IQ tests; if your weren't so fat that the Brooklyn Bridge would collapse if you ever tried to go Bungee Jumping off of it, or if your face wasn't the strongest form of natural contraception available. Nah, of course you would.

    You really should go to sleep after having read this type. Why do you capitalize every word in the sentences? Doesn't that take longer to do?

    I just want to LOL over the whole lawsuit that was mentioned earlier. First off, no lawyer is going to bother with a "case" that you yourself went and added your credit card information on, got your zen, gold, items then later on down the road you decide to quit over an emergency maintance. I would like to say get a life really and stop your pipe dreams!!

    I so love seeing people going emo over a game b:chuckle more please cause I think this is more entertaining then Perfect World itself!

    Wow. That has to be one of the more intelligent arguments I have seen on the Internet in a while. I am surprised that someone else actually has some sense of proper grammar and punctuation! b:victory

    He makes a mean rant on people who feel like making money for things other than supergear. ;)



    Er, sorry. I guess I should post something relevant to the thread... hoo boy.

    Yeah, I joined this late and I haven't attempted to get on since JUST after the server came back up. Rollback? What's the news on this? I wouldn't mind a rollback of a few hours... I'd only be worried about my Sinister Shooter auction which should've deposited roughly 720k in my mailbox shortly after the servers came back online. But a rollback wouldn't affect that, I guess...

    Let's all just be patient, the staff has proven that they do care about the game economy and I seriously doubt there'll be any serious issues resulting from this, even if it means a rollback. That said, GMs, we're about due for another update, don't you think? :)

    Speaking as an IT manager with over 20 years experience, the solution to this "little quandry" should be quite simple. Any company worth thier salt performs nightly server backups....especially prior to an update. Now granted, I don't know how PWE does things since they obviously didn't implement any change control procedures to insure that the patch was ready to go prior to implementation, but if they did thier server backups, just export all transactions logs for reference, then restore the backup performed prior to last night's patch implementation.

    The transaction logs will show who purchased zhen gold and allow those players to get thier zhen gold back, which they could then sell or use as they see fit (minus the ability to exploit). Those who played and gained levels and such, well the game is played to be fun....just re-play the portion you've done since the patch. In fact, the quests and such should be a bit simpler as you will have already done them once before and will know what to expect. Also by restoring to a pre-patch state, any items you purchased from other players will revert back to the origional owner just as your game coin that you paid will revert back into your account.

    QQ all you want but the only way to insure that the in-game economy remains stable is to rollback to a pre-patch condition.

    Mods and Admins play PWI, and we ARE NOT ALLOWED and CAN NOT ACCESS any GM game stuff, or be an in-game GM. I think there are a few exceptions with the other Admins, like Xarfox as an example.

    The rest of us in QA and Tech Support have to earn and play our way up. If we are employees, we don't get the option of ever using the cash shop ourselves, we do things in-game, the hard way.

    There are many of us watching the servers in-game, and why botters and farmers get reported so quickly and easily, because we look like everyone else, because we play like everyone else.

    Our awesome community reports things to us too, and we love the support that you guys give us.

    Server downtime really isn't so bad, in relation to how much uptime PWI has strictly maintained since Closed Beta. Hiccups occur now and then, and there are many layers to work with in game development in order to get things fixed.

    So please be patient, and hope to see you in-game soon!
