NOTICE: PWI Rising Tide Expansion site is LIVE!

Because Wikipedia is a completely reliable source of freely-editable information. b:surrender

The PWI mods/GMs actually can't be a reliable source of information by law. Even if they have a release date(which by now they probably do), they'll get sued or someshiz if they say ANYTHING about it. So they just say nothing is true till they officially announce it.

So we don't know anything because it's basically a legal issue. b:surrender

I have updated the release date on Wikipedia and added a reference to the mmorpg.com article. Perhaps someone should add a reference to the official announcement here when it is made.


Oh, and the Rising Tide site looks very nice, though the new voice-over on the video is a bit odd...but I guess that's just because I got used to the original one ><

note the previous post and I thought I noticed that some mentioned that it takes 50 golds to download the expancion that I wanted to know if it is true, as some people can not enjoy the same as we have no money to get the gold needed.
Porfin also want to know if any of the above dates are correct.
thanks for the help ... b:question

There are no plans as far as I know to make this a pay-to-play game

I recall someone saying PWI is "free to play, pay to win".

No release date had been announced yet! Any information that you hear is not official!

Thank you b:surrender Now I have a post to quote when people start shouting days again, or asking questions.

I haven't played this game for a while, fell out of intrest, but now it's patching (Slowly) and I began to think about the new classes.

Now I don't really know much about the classes themselves, but here are my thoughts.

Firstly, I hate playing overplayed classes. If I really love a class in a game that is played my most of the general population, I am not happy. I didn't play archer when I first started, because at the time I felt it was overplayed.

That little tidbit of information does relate to the new classes. When they come out, one can expect every single player in the game to roll a Pyschic or Assasin, probably leaning toward the latter.

Now, my two favorite classes in any game I have ever played have always been a stealth rogue/assassin, and a holy paladin. I hope you can see where I am leading with this. Do you think the "new-ness" of the classes will die out soon enough, so I can grind in peace and have a fun time with the new classes?

As for the classes themselves, hopefully they aren't overpowered or underpowered, although having a balance with the pre-existing classes will be quite hard. Chances are, if the devs think things through, they will be slightly worse than the other classes, for the sake of balance. There is still however, a chance for other things to happen. In trying to get new players to join the game, or old ones to come back, the new classes might be overpowered to some degree. Now I can't really see this happening to the Pyschic, but the Assassin is another story. From what I read on the expansion site, high level Assassins can attack while in stealth, and stay invisible.

That does seem to pose a bit of a problem...

Anyway, that was just a little bit of talk about the upcoming expansion, i'm sure the new areas and quests will very well meet our expectations, and hopefully the game will still be as easy to run as before.

Whatever my name is, out.

There is a big chance that peoples will not like the classes as much as they thought they would . And go back to their mains. But probably starting out its gonna be packed b:victory In every game that brings new features to the table, u will see a lot over use age. But as i said before, as time goes back the tideborn population should be cut in half. But i foreshadow, a lot of lag and kill stealing b:cry

Eh... i just noticed something on the site. Under the description of daily quests it refers to: "the Perfect World Prequel "

What exactly does this mean?

Full excerpt is: "Players can feel the exhilaration and joy of gaming by achieving coin, items, or EXP rewards through quests. In the Perfect World Prequel there is something new to get excited about, public quests!"

I saw that too. b:chuckle Spoons said it might just be an error in translation but I think it's because the story of the Tideborn starts before the story of the other races.

the only time it fails on quests is when ur a high lvl and you run out of quests. staffs and gms already said there will be new quests. stop your QQ if you think this game fails then find one that suits u better b:bye

People need to stop bumping this thread because every time I read the title my eyes like to skip over 'site' and think the expansion was released early. b:sad
