    i think my brain farted on the first 2 lines of reading it and then exploded ._. half way.

    So basically, all that wall of text to say:

    - Do not buy gold on other sites than pwi.perfectworld.com or you may be banned.

    b:thanks

    To all the wonderful, loving, and hardworking GMs of PWI b:dirtyb:kiss This is but one of the issues that caused me to leave the f2p game I was playing before coming here. The gold farmers, hackers, and bots were rampant ingame, and sadly the GMs did nothing because, in my opinion, they didn't care. Word of mouth is how games like this get popular (and in some cases die), and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience so far. I know this has probably been said to little, but you deserve it: Keep up the good work, and avoid the dark side. b:victory b:thanks

    Funniest thing I have read in a long time! Your brain is awesome Sihndra! I want to buy it, do you have a cat shop on an island that isn't "upcoming" and are those dinosaurs dangerous?

    Seriously funny, informative, and delightful all at once. I'm glad I saw a link that took me to this topic!

    Well I did it once Got Burned and Banned so I know it's DEFINITELY not worth it and not knowing where the stuff came from makes it a liability to everyone. I here to Play, have fun, meet some nice People and relax not support the seemingly increasing BAD Behavior of some of the players. See You in Game People.

    Hello my children.

    As you may have noticed, PWI has been attracting the persistent and unwanted attentions of a certain gold farming website whose title undoubtedly stands for an unspeakably taboo act that a barbarian and a venomancer who love each other very much may engage in at their own discretion and webcam framerate.

    Let me assure you that these attentions are as vile as they are illicit, my fair children. Most of you know that buying from farmers is wrong. Not wrong like showing off your 25 APS to a new player and making him submit eight support tickets about a **** blademaster. Wrong as in you wake up to check your catshop to find that you have been paid a visit by the GM fairy; your coin is gone, your items are gone, your friends are gone, the life you thought you led is gone, and your catshop is on an island surrounded by dinosaurs.

    But what you may not know, other than that FrankieRaye has an RBI and batting averages so high that even he does not know them, is that these farmers are the most terrifying thing to happen to PWI since we realized that players could glitch an extra 1,000,000 coin into their bag each time they type I LOVE PERFECT WORLD GMS ESPECIALLY SIHNDRA in worldchat.

    Basically what happened was some gaming site with really awful security got ****, and the hackers got a whole bunch of username/passwords. They then set about trying these logins in PWI with a fervor known only to the great green Earth's most prolific and industrious peoples. Some of the logins worked, so a whole lot of innocent PWI accounts got possessed by malicious users much in the same way Duke Blacke gets possessed by a need to extoll the virtues of every blade of grass on the great green etc.

    So if you buy from this gold farmer site, you are in all probability going to get paid with items that have been stolen and liquidated from your friends and guildmates. While we here at PWE are pleased to note that this practice causes no inflation like normal gold farming, you can imagine the havoc wreaked on your friends' accounts.

    Therefore, I offer my commandment to change your passwords often and do not buy coin from fraudulent third-party sources!!!


    Go now, and know that I will watch over you.
    you sure its just that? >.>

    We really don't know. Most of the logins that were being attempted couldn't possibly be valid Perfect World accounts (invalid characters, spaces, etc). We've since implemented measures that prevent these kinds of massive login tests.

    very nice post, love to read more like this b:dirty
    so thats the reason why there actual so much love up and downs are selling.
    some ppl say its a dupe exploit and pwi stop +11/+12 sale for this reason.

    but i personal now think most of the tomes are ripped by those account hackers.

    very nice to read some fresh info in a way, reading makes fun *thumbs up*

    @Magichamsta hiiiii

    and meh... people would want to buy gold from 3rd party websites as mentioned here cause... gold here is going higher... how long does it take to understand that unless you stop doing the stupid updates where people can buy their stuff out with real life cash no matter what you do you cant stop this from happening... all this post of your does is a simple warning and awareness that you people are some what working... but seriously easy way to stop this is just get it back to normal....

    I want to go back to the time when innocence was Natural, getting high meant, on a swing. Drinking meant lemonade. Dad was the only Hero. Love was Mom's hug. Dad's shoulder was the highest place on earth. Worst enemies were siblings.
    Hurts were Bleeding knees. Broken things were only Toys. Goodbyes meant only till tomorrow!

    Life has changed a lot ....

    Hasn't it .. ?? ..b:sad

    okey dont really know why but im starting to see a pattern here ..

    a few of my friends are saying that they have bought items (like perfect tokens of luck)from catshops and they was not able to craft with them and ended up with 10 tokens nomatter how meny they have bought ..

    i kinda use a lot of tokens each day and this worrys me alot becours now on the server im on i see more and more ppl complaining about this problem and i see more and cat shop selling items that cant be sold ..(like on the pic) but you can buy them...hmm

    so when i hear ppl saying that pwi havent been **** and stuff like that i worry becours do pwi really care about the true players in pwi or what is it only oure money PWI are after now this days...???(yes i know meny ppl got banned but that dont help PWI surviving this if it keeps on going on)

    http://db.tt/9cKzYnE3
    got pm by a friend saying he bought from the player in the PIC and he sayed he hade 13 of the item (now after 5 days and he is still here in pwi after a lot of ppl reported him but nothing has happent with him so fare he are still putting up shop and selling unsellable items in the tons !!!!!)

    So PWi power house mods are the rumors true? are pwi getting **** by the BOT makers elitepvpers.com & the german underGround^Ext1z hacker group( or is the game gonna die from this atk from the "Farmers and phishers and hackers" ????

    (the shops i have seen & Reported that are selling unsellable items all have german names)

    i just wonna know THE TRUTH THIS TIME!!!b:thanks

    PWI's "Power" house~mods and all.
    WE the users need to know and we also wonna know the truth this time plz...b:surrenderb:cry

    Yeah... thinking of that too.

    Many spam messages right now on Raging Tide for lolga.com. Wondering how many players actualy will give username/password to get gold. Also wondering why GM's cannot block the whole IP range* of the spammers.

    b:victory see you all in the game


    edit: cannot block if they use proxy... hope they kick _XucrutiS, Kristanna and all other names
