Yes during the World Cup PW Chiina held a competition had like the best pkers on each of the China servers
Also if I am not mistaken you was able to watch this cross pk competition..
This HAS to be in the files here since we do get the same patches from China.....
EDIT:

we dont get these from the China version by force, PWI has the choice of implementing these updates here, they just use the excuse that PW-CN did it so they do it to hide the fact its all power play for sales.
On topic GM's have said before cross server anything isnt possible, alot of people were expecting server merges and they said its impossible, so cross server fights would be under the same catagory. b:surrender[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

If we dont. Then Why did they agree to Nerf TT, DQ, and TW pay?
If they dont HAVE to accept the patches... why **** off the people that play and pay your game b:surrender
I dont get it
Also China was able to do cross server.....Doubt the Chinese/USA servers are really any different0 -

because TT mats raised in price, people charged zen to sell stuff for money to buy mats, or the farmers couldent make as much cash which = profit for PW, also people making money from DQ and people getting lots of cash from TW = less profit for PW...go figure.WraithTanker - Sanctuary wrote: »If they dont HAVE to accept the patches... why **** off the people that play and pay your game b:surrender

cos they got so many players that they dont care about the players, just as long as they make as much money possible, thought that was generally obvious.WraithTanker - Sanctuary wrote: »Also China was able to do cross server.....Doubt the Chinese/USA servers are really any different
They say it's not possible, but they dont have the first clue, there not the game Devs, im betting these GMs dont even know how to use Maya, end of the day, all these GMs do is tell us what *they know*, and the behind the scenes sales managers do everything, the GMs simply shove it in, monitor the forums, and make the odd rare event while making sure there servers are stable, not that it takes much work anyway....which gets me thinking, what really do the GMs do in there office all day?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

It would definately not be a required skill set seeing as how most of our graphics come from China, it would be redundant of them to learn things like Maya, Zbrush, Max or anything on the articstic end. As for programming, they probably know just enough to not **** up the other thousands and thousands of lines of codding whenever they go in and put in things like events, new fash, "minor localizations" etc. As in they're probably told "Okay insert this here between this" and they probably just plug it in and test it, hopefully awake to make sure it works properly before servers come up.That and I'm sure they have enough admin permissions to do various things to change pieces of code, such as spawning coin, items, and appearing in individual instances to monitor certain players- b:shutup

tbh the only reason i play this game is because of the friends i have that play it.
True, but I'm not ignorant. Thus, no bliss. This game could be much better, but instead its a Pay to Win piece of Made in China ****.If I tear you open wide,and take a look inside;

Sure you can think that. I once thought that. I once QQ'd how the game was free to play, pay to win.
But then I thought about it, and the conclussion I reached was this;
Even if the game was free to play, without any form of gold: I wouldn't have the patience or willpower to "win" as so many put it.
I mean just ask yourself, have you put hundreds of hours into the game to be able to say, "that darn cash shop, always making them rich kids stronger than me?"
Some have, and they have the right to QQ.
But you? At level 80? You still don't know what 90% of the game is like. You really don't have the right to complain about cashoppers because they don't become an issue till 90+ when people start getting endgame gear.
So if you don't like the game, give a real reason. If you're simply bored of it, say that. But complaining that the game is "pay to win," when you're level 80, is just an excuse.0 -

Well for cross server pking, I would imagine that you have to physically move the players' files across servers or somehow link two servers together o_O.
Our GMs might just have no idea how to do that.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

This might be easier considering the sheer size of the two areas on the map.
Physically moving files from east coast servers to west coast servers could be a hassle and risky.
It'd be easier in China, where although the country is large, it's population isn't distributed as much because everyone lives close to the south/east coasts, so physically moving a file might be easier.
But tbh i have no idea what I'm talking about and cant imagine a file being hard to move anyways b:cute0 -

I guess it depends if servers have USB ports XD
Edit: It just occured to me, I doubt there are even ANY GMs at the location of the East Coast servers, probably just maintenance staff.
So the reason why they can't move the files could be because they don't want to drive across the country to do so.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
i predict this thread will never have an answer from a GMb:thanks0

Ask yourselves a couple of questions..
As far as I know China maintains a single time zone, so they have no requirement to have different servers set to run events at different times. So are all the chinese servers located in the same building in Bejing? Are they simply "virtual" servers on a single server farm which all share a single database? If that is the case then doing things like cross server battles would be much easier to coordinate and run, as you have no server to server lag issues to contend with.
PWE on the other hand have servers located at opposite sides of the USA, set to different timezones, only some of which share a database.
While a cross server event would be fun, I can see why it would be difficult to the point of being unpractical on this version.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
event =/= game mechanics0

But in all seriousness, I think a PK Server War would stop complaining for a while...It might even be fun, hell....that IS what this game is for, right? [/sarcasm]0 -

You mean something like, they get the two servers in the same room, pull out the hard-drives, and start smacking them against each other while shouting, "Merge Data, merge!!!!"?
Data files don't work that way, you know. It's not 1963 anymore. b:chuckle
The cross-server PK on the China servers was done by copying the contestant's character data to a new server and running the contest there. The character data is stored in an SQL database on the Linux game server while the log-in information is on a separate SQL database that can be anywhere else in the world (which is why you can log-in to both West and East coast servers using the same log-in information without anybody from PWI having to "physically" move anything).
From a technical perspective it would just be a matter of grabbing whatever handy SQL utility you prefer and using it to copy the players who will be participating to a new server.
I'm sure the problem is logistical, not technical. Any IT guy/gal worth his/her salt could do it, but not if the rest of the company wasn't there to help organize the whole thing.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

well, you're kinda' lame if the only thing u can trash is carebear server ep.
and lemme remind you somethin, a few hardcore pvp-ers from our server moved to LC ... ask the folks on LC how easy it is to trash those carebear nubs.
true, overall pvp on pve servers is kinda low , but ppl with skill are ppl with skill regardless of server. Remember that next time you're getting roflpwned by a carebear who rolled a char on HL____________
