    Easiest way is to use the hyper link button when you first post. It will have a little picture of a globe. Paste the link into there, hit okay, then type whatever it is you want to say.
    Doing it that way makes it kinda like geico. But you could also just insert text between the url tags as well.

    I'm hoping that whoever conducted this interview reads the comments and realises what a heap of **** this 'Tony Liu' (who the hell is that, anyway?) is spouting. Listening to the community? Warsong and Lunar are the most popular dungeons? Bounty Hunter can give powerful items? (socket stones and chips, anyone?)

    b:laugh

    If there was a ROFL bear emote, I'd use that instead. That entire interview is hilarious.

    edit: my avatar is fixed :D

    So... This is who is Tony Liu (TY Mr. Google) :
    Product Manager
    Perfect World Entertainment, Inc.

    June 2012 - Present (2 months) Redwood City, CA



    Producer Lead
    OnNet USA

    October 2008 - May 2012 (3 years 8 months)



    Assistant Producer
    OnNet USA

    January 2008 - October 2008 (10 months)



    Game Master / Community Manager
    OnNet USA

    February 2007 - December 2007 (11 months)


    Been 1 month with PWI. No wonder he don't have much clue about what he is saying. And the guy who made his cue cards was not that much more knowledgeable either.
    Frankieraye said : "we can promise that we will work to improve all facets of community, engineering, and customer service to ensure that something like this doesn't happen again."


    (We are still waiting to see any improvements or changes beign implemented. More empty promises from PWI?)

    This is so counter-productive it's not even funny, it's sad. Seriously.
    I'd rather them interview a 4-5 year player of PWI and a dev, ask the same questions, and then see what happens.

    There's nothing I can really say, other than the suggestion box is horrifically under-read and underused.

    Ok I have to admit I would like to know what game they are talking about. Because I don't believe anything mentioned in there. Lunar as a popular instance? Please no one ever wants to do it because of the entrance fee. BH rewards being powerful....if they want to make it powerful start handing out warsoul stuff to make the weapons.

    Anyways that was a funny article to read, and if they really want to know whats happening with PWI they should come to the forums and get the real story.
    All generalizations are false, including this one.

    Uhm, Frankie, it would be better if he asked people that actually play the game. You know, people that POST HERE.

    And Lunar Glade is FAR FROM beloved. No one likes to do it, and no one likes to pay the fee.

    Lunar Glade dungeon isn't so popular, but Lunar Glade gear is popular.

    Just look at any sin or bm.
    Lunar Glade Robe and Lunar Glade Wep, everyone want's them.

    About Lunar Glade:

    What percentage of the people wielding Deicides have actually farmed them? I know i didnt. :P

    Remove the fee, or adjust the reward.

    I am sad to say this, but this article is a perfect example on why I don't trust corporate blah-blah at all (or any 'Hey all, look at our oh so wonderful product of ours!!' ads, in this matter).

    To be less radical than many people here, I'd say the following rules should apply to all companies:

    Do listen more to the playerbase, they may have good ideas to pick and apply (of course, it's not about taking everything from them. Wise judgment and choosing is also needed). Capcom made the same mistake, they are quite reviled even by veterans now.
    To add on this, even if suggestions were to be implemented without thanking whoever thought of it in the first place, at least do acknowledge that some users truly contribute to improvement... and please not that simplistic, extremely stale, fake-sounding line of 'we listen to our players, etc.' (especially if nothing is done in that direction).

    Frankie, as you always state you defend us (it's a line that is getting much old, you know), why is it so that sheer vulgarity in world chat, offensive in-game names, economic barrier to new gamers... have gone so much worse?

    Please try to not force-feed us with stuff 'by popular demand'. I still remember how anniversary packs were coming back at our faces over and over. Now this game just needs an in-game casino/gambling joint to top it all. I'd rather have the long-time forsaken housing, you know.

    The legitimate way of doing things is to correct most of the mistakes and bad decisions that have been taken. It's only then you can brag all you want. Otherwise, it's mere false advertising and heavy misleading.

    That is all I can say for now. Let's just say I am very pessimistic over the current state of PWI... Yet I really am fond of this game.
    Maintenance time. Please choose a line:
    - When is it over? OMG I need my fix!! *super spazzing*
    - Fix the damn bugs, dammit! I'm so angry! I'll quit!!
    - New codes out there? I like free stuff~ *wink*
    - When will we get new content? QQ
    - Will we get sales? I got a ton of gold to spend.
    - I'm bored, I'll create a useless thread to annoy Opkorock.
    - *Incessant poking on Sweetiebot* Fun~
