Hey all,


Server maintenance this week needs to be delayed by one day, so you can expect to see the newest patch tomorrow night!


Also, keep your eyes open for an exciting announcement in the next couple hours...


b:thanks


-Update (7-12-2011 03:56)


Hey guys, the big announcement was about the PWIC (of course), and there are a few parts of the post that I wanted to quickly clarify here right now. I'll definitely be able to answer all of the rest of your questions tomorrow from the office:

1. The original Sanctuary Faction List was incorrect - it was accidentally copied from Raging Tide when the post was being formatted. This has been fixed in the post.

2. The post says that the North America part of the tournament will take place in August - this is incorrect, it's actually happening on July 19-20, i.e. next week. The dates on the tournament schedule are the correct ones. The actual PWIC tournament in China will happen in August. This typo will be fixed first thing in the morning.

3. The other thing I wanted to clarify was that the server tournaments for North America (PWI) are going to be huge free-for-alls, meaning that we will be teleporting all teams into the arena at the same time, and there will basically be a big battle royale. The post isn't completely clear about this, and I can see how someone might read it and think that teams will be facing each other 1 on 1; this is not the case.


So that's it for now, but I'll be here to answer your questions in the morning today, as in, after the sun comes up :)

    The only thing I can think of is the PWIC (Perfect World International Championship, for those living under a rock.) and even then that's purely aimed at cash shoppers. b:sad

    Please be it something not cash shop based! b:cry

    For once I'm mildly excited to see what the announcement will be.

    Perhaps all the meds I'm currently shot gunning to combat this virus is the source of that excitement.

    You guys understand their definition of running around setting things up is a new random sale, and a pack sale+ a new event that gives fail rewards right :P?

    My guess:

    1. We are entering the PW World Tournament.

    2. Physical-immune Nirvana will be available.

    Whatever they're planning it's deemed important enough to implement this week rather than wait till next week's patch window.

    Because of this step out of regular practice, i'm intrigued as to what it could be...

    I thought the PW tournament concluded already, heh.

    If memory serves correctly, the last delayed maintenance we had was last year on a Thursday night after TW bidding had ended, and they announced the no refund / anonymous bidding thing for TW/Mirage pay.

    Surely to be exciting.
