How many people would play this game if all non cash shoppers left? Do you think there would be enough people to fill 5 servers... much less 1? How fast would this game die.. please **** with the generic response.

On the flip side, how many people would play this game if all cash shoppers left? Would there even be any servers? Perhaps there would be in-game builboards for Pepsi, Toyota, Burger King and other companies.... "Welcome to Dreaming Stronghold... enter your 5 digit Coca-Cola 24-Pack code located inside the packaging to receive your special quest"... or "Finish this quest in 10 minutes and receive a free small fries from your local McDonalds". lol

I wish there were many, many more cash shoppers... then gold might be a bit cheaper. b:surrender

I laughed hard at this. Maybe also because I just got finished with a McDonald's as well and the idea of entering a coupon into the game from McD's onto the game amuses me to no ends.

I know right now McD's in the UK is playing this little monopoly game going on. PWI monopoly perhaps? >.>

Hi guys im looking for a good 3d game with a good PVP/PK concept. Is this game worth my time?
I also dont like games being pay to win using the cash shop, so kindly tell me something about the cash shop in game.

True, it's hard to play PW without cash shopping, but Ive seen it done. It may take you a lot longer to reach your goals, and will certainly try your patience, but trust me when I say that the end result is worth it.

The only f2p game that's not p2w on pwe is jd. Jd is pretty easy, good pvp easy to get cash. I spent minimal amount of money on CS got to the top 7 richest on the server became one of the most epic players in the server and that's saying something because I fail at making money

. So the OP should give JD a try. Although its not for everyody because some find it boring because they are able to legally bot using an ingame item.

Why you quoted me and not the others complaining about cashplayers is beyond me. I never said cash shoppers should leave.. My complaint is the generic response that if you don't pay then you should leave or shut up. Whether you cash shop or not shouldn't factor in or whther they help you with your problem or brush you off. Agreed we need cash shoppers, but we also need the non cash shoppers as well.

It's the generic response because it's just the facts. EVERY F2P mmorpg is exactly like this. Cash shop favors the people who pay. The people who don't are happy to play for free and settle for less (in general but in every game there are always non-cashshop merchanters who are just as rich as the cash shoppers). The people who want to be the best for free are the only ones complaining. If you find a free mmorpg that isn't like this, please tell us so everyone can go play that game.

And I seriously doubt GMs would do special stuff for CSers (like reverting a cape just so he can sell it) without a very good reason. Service is generally crappy for everyone. If anyone has a right to complain, it's the people who actually pay. Everyone else is just playing a game for free. We get what we get and we're free to leave at any time if we find it unsatisfactory.

They did change the cape back to wing trophy for 2 players on DW server. I am married to one of them.. The reason why? He said "I can't use the lunar cape". They made it back to wing trophy. So doubt all you want but it did happen. And non cash users should be heard just as well. If you play this game for free or by cash shopping you are keeping the game alive and are an asset to the company.

Every F2P game with a cashshop is P2W eventually. Cashshops are like legal gold sellers. Trade cash for ingame currency so you don't have to spend as long getting money for what you want. It's not as bad when $1 gets you 100k which doesn't take too long to farm. But eventually inflation sets in because there are never enough coin sinks in a MMO and $1 will get you more and more money and make it harder and harder for non CSers to keep up.

To be honest it still isn't that bad on PWI. $1 is 400k or so. I've been in games where it's so much more inflated. $1 could buy you 20-30mil. You either cashshopped or had to learn how to merchant like a god.

The good thing going for PWI are its graphics atm because its not chibi xD

4th, unbelievable amounts of dps in this game, BMs are OP from stun lock / APS, Wizards are OP from skills that makes them cast instantly for 6 seconds, clerics are OP from two sleeps and freeze, archers are OP from both physical and magic attacks that are ranged, Assassins are OP from attack levels and chi gain, Psychics are OP from voodoo and instant, MOST OF ALL, venoes are the most OP ingame making them kite melees with their own slow or slow from pets, able to gain OP pets like nix most likely, making players depend on refines, the demon ironwood scarab, sage purge. Easy life gain.

First time i heard someone say clerics are OP due to a skip they may not be able to cast due to stun locks >.> BMs can have sleep, id trade it for stunlocks lol

I'm just wondering why people are so against the cash shop. Everyone makes it out to be that you've either never spent any irl money on it, or that you buy everything as much as possible from the cash shop. What's wrong with just buying a thing or two every so often?

I personally don't have a problem with the cash shop, packs, or whatever. Most games you have to pay for in some way. But you don't always have to pay to win. (Second, there's no winning in PWI, no screen saying "You've won", there will almost always be room for improvement with all the updates and such).

Also, I'm doing fine, and I only buy the useless **** from the cash shop. (Like fashion... Lol)

agreed.

whats wrong with supporting a game that you enjoy playing? seriously, if you dont like playing it, then dont play. and if you do, and want something that may cost a little IRL cash, then theres northing wrong with spending a few bucks on it. This doesnt mean you need to do spending hundreds of dollars, because there ARE ways to make money in game. be thankful that you can actually buy cash shop items and zen (gold) from other people within the game.

heck, ive played a game where its way more cash shop based than this. if you wanted to + anything, you HAD to buy items so your things wouldnt break. wanted fashion, or any other type of special thing from the cash shop? you HAD to buy it with IRL cash, because everything was untradeable. So, at least be happy that this game, perfect world, has the freedom to let their players be able to obtain items without HAVING to spend a dime.

ive also had the same predicament i was stuck on the archo server for about 2 hrs before i got any help my damn tow tele wouldnt work or anything i tried to relog tht didnt work but 2 hrs later i finaly got a GM to help me get unstuck. sad thing is ......... im not much of a cash shopper ill spend maybe 50 bucks every 2 or 3 months and ive been playin for almost 2 years how messed up is tht

Vixter - Harshlands · July 2010

um i dont know how to send a pm on the forum lol but the game is called .............. (there are several different versions but theyre all the same with non tradeable cash items) its a 3d anime/chibi type of game... it was really fun but yea... the cash thing was a little too much. i have spent money both here and there, so im not all against supporting games, but when u cant even trade or sell the items you bought with your real money, then thats bad xD

edit : tell me how to pm please xD
