Sheesh, after a multitude of begging from old friends, I've decided to give this... thing another chance. is it still the rotting pile of dung from when I left, or are things actually worth playing now? Did they bring any kind of change, or are we still suffering froma semblance of balance from the lack thereof? So I ask former friends, rivals, and people who didn't like me:

as to what's going on with PW.

Going sage is like drunken sex, at first she may look good, but when you wake up the next morning; you'll look at her and go WHAT HAVE I DONE.

    Well, rubberbanding has all but been extinct. The two new classes are in full swing and there's little to no complaint about them from any end of the spectrum. Sin's, 5.0, and R9 are the hot buttons in the forums, but it also seems theres a series of intelligible sins out there who dont just perma spark their way to winning, (finally). Um Guildbases, and a soon to be released 40vs40 guild war is due out any day now. Outside of that, there's really nothing new. The game is the same as it always has been.

    However, please be more specific when you say "steaming pile of dung" there's a lot of reasons why people dont like this game, but moreover there are more reasons why people are still playing it.
    Apparently its more difficult to milk a smurf than originally conceived..

    All of those still exist so not worth coming back in your case.

    To be fair, the moderators have mostly improved. The game is the same deteriorating train-wreck it's been for the last year and a half though, expansion did nothing to alter that.

    Yes....the pile of dung has gotten larger and the stench is worse then ever. Only have to glance thru a few threads here on the forums to get an idea about how bad things have gotten.

    PVE wise nothing is new since all of the content was used on lv1-60 for mystic/seeker there really isn't much to do PVE... no new instance just the same old ****

    PVP wise 40v40 doesn't work and I won't believe it will until it actually does. TW is the same... some skills are still glitch +12. That being said for the unbalance... new to the unbalanced broken fight : refined Psychics! I'm not one of them but hell there isn't much one can do against them in their Rank 9.

    ....nothings really changed on our server at all. Still the same immature WC people b:angry Black list full, etc. b:victory

    Rubberbanding like above posts state is still present, 5.0 is still needed in (almost all) instances. Gold still hovering over 900k+

    Pack sales like crazy as always, not a big fan of the Easter sale...

    ...nothings' really changed from when you quit.

    The difference? The same horrible mis-managment of the game that you remember + how ever many months mis-managment you missed = you do the math.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    Your friends begged you to come back? You should make some sense in your friends to leave this game actually. I don't know why would anyone here play, unless you have expended thousands of dollars.

    The game is really in favor of heavy cashopers. We used to have the possibility of getting rank9, but recently they changed that. Now it seems only the heavy cashopers who bought rank9 a few months ago will be the only ones to have it.

    There is no issue that has been fixed. Anytime they make a new class they give them "something special" that the old ones don't have. So pw is telling u: "reroll, and expend more money."

    They made fun of me because I wasn't a R8 Psychic...and then came third cast. It's not funny anymore.
