    After the aniversary sales, stocks went down and they thought, wow we really need to do something about this, lets put back the aniversary pack again. We want another spike in stock prices like it did when the first ani event came up.

    pwned, stocks dropped immediately after the release. PW seriously, fire whoever is in the marketing office and hire someone who is actually good and bothers to listen to the playercommunity.

    http://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ%3APWRD

    Players make up the market and the playing community makes up your stock exchange, the F2P market is so saturated now that these paying players can jump to another game in the matter of seconds. Listen to the players for once and you may see improvements.

    true, you have gotten a lot through the aniversary sales, but that's because it was an "innovative" idea. The same trick wont fool anyone twice.

    Well ppl...
    LETS ALL GET A LIFE!

    LETS ALL STOP SITTING IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER AND LET SOME FREAKY IN-GAME ECONOMY AFFECT US

    Besides,playing long hour of game is bad for health.Let not get pissed off by the price. We have our own life to lead. We have our own job that need to be fulfiled.

    I have exams to take.I need to focus on the exam than the DAMN GOLD PRICEmaking a hammer 1 million.

    I believe that there is no need to use the gold price in order to get to the high end levels. I will just be giving all my best to try to make my "$".

    And I see no point in wasting $200 for a few words in the screen.Do you see my point? Why would you want to spend huge ammount of time and money on this thing?

    Come on folks we have a life to live.Life is short, if you are going to spend almost all of your life time on computer and become a coach potatoes than go ahead. Your life will be meanless. There is no more love in the world. You can't trust everyone you met on the net.

    There is always other F2P game to play you should know that. I am not going to mention them as it will offend the people who is constantly trying to solve it.

    The ones who destroy this game are the people who play it.Not the dev and GM.GM has the worst time when they log in to their computer. You guys complain this and that making their life worst.

    So lets all get a life,be positve and not negative.

    -Peace On Us-

    Well, thank you, Dr. Phil. It's clear that you posted here just to be annoying- because the above quote has absoloutely nothing to do with the topic we are discussing. Go away.

    yes, but the game isn't very de-stressing if you can't enjoy it because every kid who's mommy has a platinium card can afford to BUY their Frost or Lunar weapons. Nice try, tho.

    Dude, if you seriously think to distract me by quoting real-life tragedy surrounding online games, spare me. In fact, spare all of us- go sit in the corner and /ragequitlife. personally, for someone of your obvious lack of intelligence, I reccomend washing your mouth out with buckshot. kkthxbai.

    If that's the case, then she shouldn't have had an online boyfriend at all. If she wants to kill herself over something she shouldn't have done in the first place, that's her fault, not PWI's.

    I'm sure her husband was thrilled to know she was having an online affair with another man. Make her kids real proud, too. Yeah, your friend sounds like a real fine, upstanding citizen... or not.

    Again, spare us your BS and go away. We can all pick up the paper and read about **** like that any time we'd like- before you came along and rudely interrupted, we were having a game-related conversation. STFU and go back to your lego's. kkthxbai.

    latest update: highest buy price on HT- 505k. highest sell price 555k

    the day gold prices hit 900k is the day massive outflow of players will take place. Enjoy the game while it still lasts

    As I've said elsewhere, gold inflation in the game only makes it easier for me to buy in-game coins with my zen gold dollars. Maybe those who call themselves (and are) 'dedicated' game players think this defeats the 'game experience', but I'm in here to have some fun, and if having enough coins to level my skills up with the spirit points I get piled up, then it's ok with me.

    I've been reading about other games (not naming them) that have gone away because they quit making enough money in the real world. I realize PWI is a company that needs to make money to pay for their hosting servers and bandwidth, and I've canceled cable tv because the shows were boring and the advertising was killing a third of every hour watched.

    If the money I spend buying stuff in the Boutique is helping to keep PWI around, so much the better. I have allowed for it in my real life budget and I don't want the game to go away - though I do realize the money is like that which I might have spent on cable tv- at the end of the month, it is gone except for what evidence remains in PWI which, of course, belongs to the company running the hosting servers. That's only fair.

    Now then, how much would PWI charge to include a boutique costume for venos to wear that looks exactly like the one the "Little Girl" teleporter's daughter wears just outside City of the Lost?
    I'd buy it for my veno in a jiffy!

    First off, its great to hear that you are doing your part for to keep the server running. I have got absolutely nothing against that, in fact i do admire/praise you for your effort.

    However, like someone has said, PWI = Pay2Win International.

    500k for 1 gold. In order to get a mount, one would have to spend 5x coins they used to. It is a fact that the prices of the mats farmed in game do not increase linearly with the gold price, it is getting increasingly hard for a F2P gamer to sustain himself/herself in game.

    With the introduction of Tokens of Best luck, 5million in game coins is injected into the economy each time someone gets a best token (i've seen more than 20times a day). It would take months for someone to accumulate that through farming.
    So now you have a "perfect system" of paying customers able to sustain themselves. Farming for in game coins is no longer needed because gold buyers can always exchange the 10million big notes for in game currency.

    What this does, is to attract zen payers like you (nothing against you). However, they are also driving away the F2P population. While its true that these F2P customers do not pay money and are a burden to the servers, they make up majority of the population.

    With the F2P population driven away, what you have left are the 10% of the orignial population who are the paying customers. After a while, these paying customers get bored because there are simply no one to play with. They leave = End of PWI





    PS: i do recognise the need for PWI to maintain its servers and pay its programmers as well as make a profit, these reasons however do not justify the recent extreme stream of sales.

    When an economy undergoes hyperinflation, it is bound to degenerate hard. A jump from 100k a gold to200k a gold is acceptable, but comeon, a jump from 100k a gold to 500k a gold? The economy is going out of hands.
    The main reason: introduction of 2 best luck for 10 million. DO you realise how much money are being injected into the economy artificially? its worse than mass printing of money to meet up with inflation in real life
