Is this game worth playing??? lol. I picked a zen thing up in wallie..and I started playing but you cant even see your helmet////everyone seems WAy to chill, like no public chat/////and idk how to use half the stuff. lol

is PW worth playing ppl????

Here's an easy way to find out if a game is worth playing:

Before playing it, check the forum. If it's filled with people saying how much the game sucks and all the problems it has, like this one, then the answer is no.

Take the negative responses with a grain of salt. Every MMO forum has it's share of doomsayers and unreasonable cry babys who cannot adapt to change.

Just try the game to see if you like it.

And of course always remember...if the QQers and complainers hate it so much then why are they still playing???

If it sucks don't play. End of story.

Is it really a reason not to play if you dont know how to use half the stuff?Thats known as "learning"
Archosaur is the most recently opened server so its empty compared to the others.

I would guess from your reaction that you don't read forums for other games. I have played at least a dozen MMO's, from F2P, P2P, Insanely old, and brand spanking new, and out of those dozen MMO's (not to mention the dozens more I have researched) and in all those games I think I have found a total of 2 games where the forums are not primarily filled with people saying how much the game sucks in one way or another.

I'd rather ask the advice of unbiased MMO reviewing sites or close friends. 'Try the game and scout ahead; if it fails, thank you for your sacrifice. If it's enjoyable, I MIGHT give it a try'. b:victory

I've told myself I wouldn't post in this thread because of how controversial the topic is, in my honest opinion because I have played this game since the game started, this game is no longer worth playing. But for someone who newly wants to try this game out, I've found several threads for the OP where people asked similar questions:

(a) Worth returning?
(b) is it worth installing?

Next, you should read up reviews by outside sources like these:

(a) IGN PC
(b) Gamespot
(c) Game Ogre

But please do consider the dates in which the reviews were made. With that said, you need to consider the new things in this game like the introduction of the Head Hunter & the daily bounty quests. After you hit level 30, you are given these daily bounty quests along with the crazy stone daily. With these, you'd be able to level quickly.

Most of the gamer community is friendly and helpful. As a new gamer, you can always hit up the Beginner's Guide section and post new threads with questions concerning the game if you can't find it through the "Search" option. If you wait about 20 minutes, someone with more experience will most likely have answered the question for you.

Now as many people have stated, this free MMO has a cash shop. Concerning how much you need to spend, you'd have to look at these threads:

(a) Cashshopping: Required?
(b) Is spending money a requirement for success?

For the gamers who have played this game since the beginning like myself, we believe that this game is going downhill. But for the newer players who have never experienced the 90-100k per 1 gold, they would think this is a good game in terms of the cash shop. No, you don't need the cash shop if you want to be an average player who wants to enter this game for fun. But if there is anything more advanced you want, with the in-game market economy as it is, you will need a bit of start up coins (which can be obtained through real life cash).

The GMs of this game appear from time to time and there are the occasional fun events, but sometimes those turn into lag fests. We usually have a weekly maintenance update every Tuesday night PST time. But even with the weekly maintenance, there are some glitches or bugs to the game that has not been fixed for a very long time.

If you're able to ignore all of the problems, you would most likely be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and characters that this game has to offer.

*giggle* All game forums are just like that! Actually, I'd be more pleased to find a thriving active forum for a game, even if the negativists are more vocal than others, than a dead forum.

All I'd recommend is to pick your server carefully.

I will say this and end the thread (in my mind anyways)...

Download the game

Update the Client

Log-in

Create a Character(s)

Start playing

Try a different class if you find the first mediocre

Ask questions after searching the forums for an answer

Decide if you like it

Continue playing or uninstall


* Really it is that simple. Haters will hate and I can assure you that every one person has at least one thing they do not like about the game. The thing is though that you need to decide for yourself whether it is right for you or not. I personally did not like the game and thought about quitting more then a few times but as I leveled I found more and more things I enjoyed about it. There is a great community here, both on the forums and in-game. I have some issues with recent additions and the game has insanely changed since the beginning, but it is for you to decide, not anyone else.

You make the choice....b:bye

your real life experience must fail then

rl economy inflates obviously, but then the government "attempts" do something about it to stabilize it and bring it back down, in PWI that government does nothing to sort the gold prices out.

so there is a big difference between rl economies and PWI economies

Yes, my experiences must fail, (whatever that means).

Hamburger 1960's : 10 cents
Hamburger 2010: $6.00

Gasoline: 1990: $1 Gallon
Gasonline: 2010: $3 Gallon

So keeping gold farmers and botters out of the game (compared to different versions) isn't keeping the gold from being 800,000K+ ? Sounds like a reasonable way to control inflation (gold to coin inflation that is).
