    some people are so stupid

    THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN IT IS COMING OUT YET THATS WHY THERE IS NO EXACT DATE, ITS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT

    get this into you're head

    I think you might be pretty close. FW cb phase 4 is also suppose to be towards the end of February. They might be trying to schedule genesis so it either won't occur on the same day or will be a gap between the two in case problems arise.

    FW: http://fw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=84441

    Phase 4 will begin on Feb. 23rd, and will not have a random selection process. Everyone and anyone that has a redeemed beta key will have access to the closed beta at this point.

    Open beta for FW begins on March 23rd. The game will be "live" at this point.

    I was replying to Laranda, to clarify that we DO indeed have a date for FW, and that this may be relevant to the Genesis release, as their post was inferring .....

    So it is. o.o

    Though, that post wasn't around when I made mine so I wasn't sure what the exact date was. Good chance the 23rd is not when genesis is released. Could be wrong though. o.o;;

    The latter. There's various petals and valentines stuff on multiple games, not just pwi.

    Girl~ People find new ways to steal more and more now.. b:surrender

    i have to admit this was a pretty smart way lol.

    taking advantage of the over eager players .

    i can imagine:

    *the player recieves the mail.
    *jumps up and down
    * goes to site and enters acc info
    * goes bragging to PWI players
    * goes to sleep
    * wakes up in the morning to quickly log on
    * realizes gear/money is gone then starts QQing

    ahhh i can see it now.............b:cute

Emerging from this darkness takes more then courage, it takes faith in ones own mind and more importantly in ones own heart. To deny the light is to deny yourself the feeling of true happiness and true peace within your own soul. Denying your own happiness and your own soul is denying all that one has to live for."

    Agreed! hit the button ;D

    On a side note... do CM's get trained how to speak in ways that you think you might have got an answer but you can't be really sure :o ?b:chuckle

    They have to go school to learn how to do something that isnt exactly conscionable, kinda like a lawyer who defends a clearly guilty person <.<
    Good intentions are like peeing yourself in dark leather pants, you get warm feelings inside, but it doesn't show.

    I got the email, but I decided it was most probably sent to the wrong person, since it said ''Hello Kesha'', but my name is Kinna. I just deleted it without following any link. It was also asking me to enter a survey on why I ''no longer play PWI". But I was logged on at that very moment. o.o;

    well. gms kinda did tell us when it be released. just nobody was smart enough to catch it, let me find link well. here it is ---->http://pwi.perfectworld.com/news/?p=189791 yes thats the facebook news from weak ago. here i quot ''So whether you're low-level, mid-level, or high level; be you a merchant, TW warrior, or elite grinder; you will have one heck of an(hmm some reason this phrase sticks out to me~~~~>>) exciting week (<~~~~) if we hit the 200k goal by March 1st!'' HINT HINT HINT and another hint and i quot ''We're going to do things a little differently this time around. In the past we've either made a set deadline for the prize, or we've removed the deadline completely. This time we're going for option 3: Two different rewards!

    Reward #1 - Stipulation: We hit 200k Likes by March 1st, 2011:( why march 1st?, maybe expansion, an 2x drops, *cums*)

    2x EXP/ 2x Drops/ 2x Spirit on all servers for two full weeks!''

    Well there's your problem- it's on Facebook. <_< I have PWI UNLIKED until rubber- banding is fixed, at the very least.

    ...Which means I will never 'like' PWi again.

    EDIT: FW's Phrase 4 and PWI's expansion might be linked, as mentioned earlier. Some companies have employees that cross- GM. Other companies keep their GMs confined to one game only. if PWE crosses their GMs, it would make sense why Genesis got pushed back.

    I already sent in the screen shot with ticket on this one...

    In-Game email needing my account name, password and mother's maiden name to claim a PWI 5M coin +100gold reward.

    ROFL, yeah... PWI would really need info they already have and my mom's maiden name??? Seriously... how dumb would I have to be to give out info like that.

    DEVS insstead of the Perfect Horn button that isn't working... how about a Perfect Zapper that would allow us to Zap someone stupid back to lvl 1!

    hey Guys, We've Received Multiple Reports Of Players Getting In-game Mail Telling Them That They Have Been Selected To Enter The Pwi: Genesis Closed Beta.

    Recipients Are Then Prompted To Go To An Unaffiliated Site To Enter Their Credentials.

    This Is A Scam; If You Follow Their Instructions, Your Account Will Likely Be **** And Your Items Will Be Stolen, So If You Do Receive This Mail, Please Take A Screen Shot And Submit A ticket with It. Under No Circumstances Should You Follow Their Instructions.

    As Always, Never Enter Your Login Information At Any Site But Ours, And Any Kind Of In-game Mail Or Whisper Claiming To Be From Pwe Should Be Treated With Extreme Skepticism/caution.


    Thanks All.

    P.s. There Will Be No Genesis Closed Beta. It Will Be Open To All Players Immediately Upon Release B:thanks

    Maybe Chuck Norris Can Solve This Problem.

    I know a lot of people in game who have been **** in the past couple of months and PWI has done little or nothing to help them. Additionally the phishing scam isn't the most popular scame. The one people are falling for the most are keyloggers that get installed through fake PWI programs on facebook. Email accounts and PWI accounts then get hijacked, looted, and deleted.

    On a side note, there is a general warning I want to issue to anyone who is hacking accounts. No matter who you are and where you **** from, there is always an IP trail (even with spoofing). Be careful who you **** because some people might invest the time to track you down and hurt you badly.

    hmf, i hardly use the mailbox the only thing I do with it is transfer stuff from my main to my alts like coins to help buy gear and stuff needed. or inserting the sharpness into the box to get my perfect military hammers for that matter. That's all the purpose i see fit on using it. If i even see such email of a scam telling me about a closed beta genesis it will probably be ignored becuse i only go to mailbox for certain reasons and it expires about 2 days of not looking at it. Or just deleted if i saw it.
