You know, i checked the updates today, a week after quitting,with the hope that the Gms would have some kind of rememdy to the anniversary packs. But no, what else can you expect from PWE? "BUY MOAR ZEN WE THROW IN A BONUS, CHARM PACKS TOO!!111"

Whatever, keep milking it. The servers are looking awfully empty these days (server status displays "low" most times of the day now, instead of the old "high" for most of the day") Have fun becoming the next PW MY-EN. b:bye

    I dunno... I usually like sales. If you are patient, you can just buy things when they are on sale (like I'm buying flawless gems with in game coin for about 1/4 of what they usually sell for, apoc pages for like 1/10 of what they used to sell for, etc) and I was worried about high charm prices... they just put a sale for those. I'm sure a new dragon orb sale will be coming soon... being that I rarely put money in the game, these sales actually make things more affordable. The only problem is that when gold prices go up, anything that's not on sale goes way up in price. But overall, I really don't mind these events/sales.. just a game b:chuckle

    Rubbish. Other than the back-to-school kiddies leaving, the servers are just as full as they were before the sale. My cat-shop sales are just a brisk and there's just as many people doing quests as before.

    Sorry to disappoint you, but you're just another, "The End Is Near!" false prophet.

    and they will not merge the sever's it be a waste of time as well as money spent.
    if anything they should have T.w. war's vs other sever's for the right to brag what sever's the best.

    Are you kidding? Before this lame anniversary sale (dont call it event, because there were no events...sales are sales, nothing more), you could mount up a BH squad in less than 5 mins near BH npc with a dozen ppl later PM'ing asking to join your already full squad. That was right after reset. Any other time of day, of course, took a few mins more.
    This week, ppl took up to hours to get the squad up. If you dont spam WC (as in, overspam the disrespectful system msgs) or lucky enough to grab certain classes before other ppl do, you wont get your bh done.

    Have no doubt in mind, ALOT of players have already quit. Now there are more sales to make the gold skyrocket. Sorry to say it, but its a big middle finger to the entire PWI comunity.
    I like this game and its atmosphere, but im getting really tired of this abuse and disrespect our GMs and Devs have been giving us. I suggest you stop before destroying the game.

    I would probably bet on Lost City, assuming there are enough people in a PvP server by then. If not, then Heaven's Tear.

    If u look at the charm sale, I believe that they are attemtping to lower the ingame coin charm cost. Charm packs used to be 4 gold charms and an egg for 16 gold right? Now it is 5 charms for 1 gold less. Correct me if im wrong...

    Unfortunately that is still high, but when anniversary packs go away it might be alot better.

    I think that frost event is just a way of trying to get more ppl to go try out the new revamped frostlands. If u haven't tried it.... have a go, its really fun. ( well i enjoyed it :P)

    Not really, it's more like they're trying to get people to charge more zen, basically it's like a 15% bonus zen sale in disguise :3

    If they really honestly wanted more people to try it, they'd be giving out other prizes to complete the challenge, not a zen discount coupon.

    I have to agree with this, the cost of a gold charm had nearly trippled on sanctuary to over a mil. I consider this sale to be very timely and exactly what we need to get some more of these much needed items back into the market. And with the duration of the sale, It means there shouldn't be a flash flood rush to get charms, as they said "you'll have time to think about it" in other words watch the gold market for the non zen chargers and save up some.

    As far as the 15% zen, yes this is to get people to charge zen but another thing, by giving it in coupon form it means you can get discount zen when ever it suits you, not just during a limited time frame that you never know when it will crop up. I like the way they have turned this into a challenge reward scheme and am looking forward to the challenges for the other level ranges.

    I am happy with both the charm sale and the frostcovered challenge "event"

    Actually I'm pretty sure the coupons have expiry dates.

    In any case it still gives you more time leverage than you would have with a zen sale that's basically what i'm getting at here

    Which means more time to charge even more zen XD, nah dw i get your point...

    However, it still doesn't change the fact that they're targeting cash shoppers/pushing players to charge zen, it's not exactly a bad thing... but they really should be doing something more for the free-playing community, especially with all the complaints going on with the cash shop recently.

    I certainly agree here, it would be nice to see more acutal events, right now the most they can seem to do is get more gold and popular items on the trading/cat shop market to reduce in game prices b:surrender
