I've heard several rumors that TW pay has been restored in the other versions. Can any GM, moderator, or other forum-goer provide any evidence or confirmation that this is coming to us?

Thanks guys! <fingers-crossed>

    These are nothing but bull**** rumors. TW pay is still the same over on the Chinese servers.

    I've heard the news from several sources now, but I can't read Chinese so I can't navigate the wanmei or Malaysian sites very well. If anybody can, is there any updated information on the TW system there?

    There has been rumors.

    There has been talk.

    No GM here will verify IF it will happen.

    Just wait and see.

    Does not matter anyways imo...what is done has been done.

    Wasn't the reason that coin payment was taken out was because there are not enough coin sinks for those that dominate a TW map and to add some competition? Nefarious pretty much totally dominated the map on Sanctuary, but since the changes have gone in, there are still wars every weekend and the map is MUCH more colorful than it once was.

    It seems that if they restored coin payment, that to maintain their "new balance" of coin sources/sinks, they will have to put some serious upkeep taxes on those that maintain lands... which of course doesn't change anything as far as net positive income for land-owners and will thus only generate more hate mail... why bother?

    Yes, loads of people have quit, but new people are still pouring in and buying Zen... TW just doens't seem to matter to the bottom line of gaining revenues in US dollars or they'd have reversed gear 2-3 weeks after putting the changes in. Again, if you're in PWI's shoes and Zen purchases are as hot as ever, why would you mess with the in-game economy by putting TW coin payments back in when your "analysts" told you it was creating a game imbalance and they're sticking by their story?

    I don't see any change coming, but rumors are always amusing to discuss! b:victory

    Too little, too late.

    How many territories have just been handed over to the top one or two ruling factions on every server since the changes? The damage has already been done. Bringing back the pay will mean little to those that have already given up. Break your leg, then wait a month before going to see a doctor. It's going to take far more to fix things now than it would have if you had just gone in to get fixed when the problem arose.

    On one hand, it is important to note that TW pay is not so high that people get rich with it, I think I defended this strongly despite the fact that I was not in a landowning faction at the time. On the other hand, it is true that nevertheless, factions with TW pay does attract a lot of applicants. I think people of my server at least, need to look back at the times when one, or even two factions dominated the whole map. Despite the fact that the pay wasn't all that impressive compared to the expenditures, the psychological attraction was still enormous. People complained day in and day out about how TW was going to be ruined in this flawed system where all the best players converge into one guild for pay and the rest of the server has no interesting TW to speak of. I find it ironic that people complain about the same now, especially those on Sanctuary, when you can see that there are 5 factions owning land on the map at the moment.

    I don't know about your Server but TW is alive and well on mine. We don't do it for greed, we do it for pride, glory, and 3 hours of intense competition. If your tw map is dead then blame it on yourselves.

    Time to get real... serious

    On PW MY tw pay is pathetic, coin prices are so inflated a scroll of tome is 2 billion + coins. Tw pay is not anything but a token of appreciation. 200 mil on the tw map is bid... semi regularly.

    Dark micheal and roses red are kind of giving their server a bad name, tw if anything on RT got more exciting and competitive. It has never been for the monies but the love of the game. If the tiny tw pay made the difference for your server then your bad, and it is your servers problem. Again tw pay eventually after server matures is more of a small token of appreciation, and can't really compensate the coins you sink into charm apoth and gear.

    Honestly comments like

    "you really think it will help now"

    People tw for pride, glory, and fun not diamonds or not the coins. So no i don't think too much damage has been done, maybe to my brain at watching people complain over nothing.

    Someone give this Man a medal. He understands. b:thanks

    P.S. So everyone knows...this whole TW pay being given back on the CN servers is a bold-faced lie. Asked someone who plays on there. TW pay has not been given back nor are there any announcements about it. QQ moar plz.

    sensless stuff from a person from a half-emty server

    First, you're an idiot. So are you Eoira.

    I actually monitered the TW changes thread and the various forum threads for both positive and negative comments about TW after the changes here.

    After going through and reading as well as re-reading ALL the comments in the TW Changes Thread... both of them... over 3000 posts... as well as checking in on each server's sub forums, my unbaised, researched conclusion was that the changes have broken TW for a majority of the players.

    Before you sprout off like morons, at least go through and read ALL of the posts in the stickied thread, as well as many of those in the thread that got buried and come to your own conclusion as to how it's affected PW in general, not on your half-empty non-factor servers.

    Go away now or I shall taunt you a second time.

    b:bye

    Or you can read the posts here and here, then you can come back and we can have a real discussion.

    tw on dreamweaver is kinda nearing its last few breaths. and bidding sometimes even results in bans if ur faction isnt top 4. top 5 faction is apparently bannable lol. but old tw pay system would be quite nice. much nicer than mirages. lol

    Hey, TW isn't dead. I'm just a single person on a single server in my own little world.... everyone is stupid, nothing is wrong

    What I get from your post is that, you have a house over your head, some food in your fridge and a job, school or parents to leech off of... so of course, everything is fine and nothing is wrong. lol Take the blinders off and look out the window. There are homeless people in the world staving to death.

    Just because you see something from your perspective doesn't mean all is fine and dandy.
