Still new to PWI, just as the Title says!
I have always started playing then I quit, pretty fast, countless times.
I just don't know what's making me do this!
But then, I keep being pulled back because of the later game content..
Let me ask something, How's the population and community for PWI? :)
I used to be into warrior type classes.. tanks or damage... But NOW..
I'm more of a ranger or support guy now ;D
So, I'm guessing that Clerics or Archers are the classes I should try out for?
In your opinion, which of these 2 classes do you find to be more fun?
I'm into PvP, but not a whole lot.. I'm more into PvE and joining groups to kill bosses, go run instances, quest together, do events, stuff like that.
Another question, is it easy or hard to find a guild to be in?
I'm a guild type of guy as well... I'm social, I love making new friends, I'm used to helping people or being helped, etc.
So, I always find a guild as fast as possible, a guild that will take in new players in open arms and just be as friendly and nice as can be and help with questions and stuff :)
One more important question, from a player who's trying to NOT spend so much money at once.... Is this PWI Pay 2 Win? I mean, if it is... I'd be willing to spend some money but im trying to not spend like $50 in a couple days >.<

    Lol if $50 in a few days is too much then don't bother playing. Yes PW is the definition of pay to win, all f2p games are, but this one is especially bad. If you don't spend at least $500 you won't have very much fun in endgame pvp. And that's pushing it. Guilds are easy to find, active helpful ones with mature adults however are next to impossible. Just don't bother playing...

    If you're into ranged and support characters, archers and clerics would do that for you. Everyone needs a cleric, and archers can do some nice damage. Mystics are another good option for supporting a squad and wizards have great damage at range too. I personally prefer archer. The high crit rate is nice and I just never got into playing caster classes. You'll have an easier time finding squads to run instances on a cleric, so that's something to consider as well.

    It's really easy to find a guild. If you walk around Archosaur (the main city in PW, you'll get sent there at ~level 20) you'll get plenty of faction invites.

    As for question about PWI being pay to win, yes, to an extent. If you're content with running instances with faction mates and doing PvE, then no. You can get good gear without spending any money on this game at all. Endgame PvP is pretty much pay to win. You can buy the best gear in the game through the cash shop and dominate everyone else. If you're good at merchanting or are willing to spend a ton of time farming you can get the best gear that way too but it will take a lot longer.

    I still find this game fun even in PvP, and I haven't spent much money at all on it.
