    Depends on what you are looking for.

    Personally if they brought fishing into this game, I would never leave.

    Sadly. This game is a shell of what was once a very well made game. But like Every F2P MMO. "Lottery" comes into play it starts turning into a pay2win and then mass QQ ensues and game eventually dies.

    If you enjoy the style of the game, can live with the shortcomings, and find your 'niche' in the community, it can be extremely enjoyable. One of the main reasons that I still play is not because of the new content, but because of the friendships that I have created here.
    This is basically true with any type of MMO. I feel PWI is a bit more challenging at finding that sweet spot because the overall community in the game right now sucks major donkey balls.

    i have alredy left it to 20% of my time i mostly only play when my second life game is getting boring and then play pwi as its not how it used to nor will it ever change.

    once i realised my pw is not gona change i was once again without a game and found it on a more simulator kinda game but without any drama or any actions so i come back just to troll and get the lil extra.

    No.
    PWI is dead soon enough, I wouldnt give it more than 6 months.

    Nothing is getting fixed, its not MMO anymore, its SOLO or GTFO.
    The economy is broken.

    No questing. you can lvl to 100 in 3 days easy with hyper.

    No Instances to farm mats in squads, unless its 2x and ure 5APS.

    If you love spending huge amounts of cash on virtual items then you will LOVE this game. :D Sadly, the game is now such that if you can't drop at least $1.5k into the game you can't compete with the top-tiered people.

    In short: -whispers- get out while you still can!

    Yes, you don't need to dump all of your money into it. I actually play through the game the way it's intended and am farming my endgame gear.Yeah it may take a little time but that's the fun of it but instead there is all the QQ about having to pay top dollar for it all when you don't HAVE to people need to get this through their skulls. People have been saying this game is dying for years, so why believe them now? Play it and decide from there how you feel about it don't listen to all these people with the patience of a peanut (whatever that means)

    The content is very fun and enjoyable. It has its ups and downs and imbalances, but I learn to deal with it as best as I can.

    However, if you're looking for a game with excellent customer service, this is not the game for you. PWE seems to have given up on this game. A new game will be released soon that has PWI similarities that shall not be named. I wish I could give it a try, but my computer sucks.

    Answer is, if you want to play the game and ignore the BS community (the company included) then yes, it is worth it. You don't need to follow the TOS if you don't want to. As it is proven from the staff's promise being broken about the glitch abusers in FC. Go ahead and buy/sell accounts, find glitches to abuse, scam other players and troll on the forums and have a 10% chance to get banned if you spend some $$$ on this game.

    If not... Do not play this game, PWE staff do not give a rat's *** about the community and most of the moderators are *** kissers.

    I still play however... too much things I did ingame to lose it, I think a break would be nice for me instead.

    1. Addiction

    2. Invested so much previously...they don't want throw away everything they've done.

    3. They have the hope that someday, maybe, the game will actually get out of its mire and improve. Some people remember the game in its "glory days," also known as when it sucked less.
    "PWI has an F Rating with BBB"
    This doesn't surprise me at all...but what I fiind the most hilarious is that PWI tossed the thread into "The Lower Depths." Where it really belongs is the "Shame Corner for Corrupt Businesses" sub-forum. b:shutup

    I started playing this game a few years ago. I busted my butt and did all the boring quests (Kill 30 of said mob, fly here, fly there, talk to this person, fly back there, kill 30 more mobs, etc.) I got involved in TW which was a blast, made some good friends in-game, had a great time and was really looking forward to farming my end-game gears.

    I started putting money into the game so I could fly here and there a little faster, have fashion that I liked, etc. Not a lot of money. Maybe 10 or 20 dollars here and there. As I rose in level, I started working to get my end-game gear only to find out that there are some mats PWI has made VERY rare so that you have to cash shop or farm non-stop for years to get the mats to make it. So I decided if I was going to put that much time and money into it, I would go for the best and get Rank 8.

    I CS'd and farmed rep like crazy for a year. I soloed FBs for darkness stamps, farmed DQ mats to trade for them, etc. Finally, I got my R8 gear. One week later, the gear I had acquired that used to be worth a couple grand in US Dollars was on sale for $80 in the cash shop and R9 was available for what I had put into the game.

    I submitted a ticket thinking that the people at PWE might show a little empathy seeing as how I put my last $500 into getting my R8 one week before the rep sale. They ignored my ticket, like so many others they have ignored. One of the few tickets they didn't ignore was when I was a faction leader and submitted one against someone for fake bidding me out of a TW. And they banned ME! Not the notorious cash shopper that had actually committed the offense.

    For those not familiar, R8 gear isn't even comparable to R9 gear. A few people have farmed R9 I guess, but for most people it is impossible unless you plan on spending four or five years doing it. To sum it up, unless you are planning on dumping thousands of dollars into this game, or playing it long after much better games have come out, this game is not worth even downloading. The in-game content has been sacrificed just so that greedy people can make even more money. The customer service just flat out sucks. Not to mention, ever since downloading the new extension, EVERY game on my PC crashes mid-game...

    So do yourself a favor and find a game you like that has a monthly fee, or one-time payment, and access to all gear+perks in-game. Maybe I will see you there.
