Game is dead...

I was actually going to not post, but since I have one toon in a kittyshop (yay, merchanting!) and one just meditating, I think that I have the time to post. Or something.
The person above me has a good point, and I play this game and probably will until something terrible happens. It's all about the person. The game might be dead for some (and yet they never leave. Who knew?), but for others it's still alive and well. We see friends come and go (and some still bug you via Facebook or some other social thing) and we see new friends come and play. Personally, I started playing last year. Yes, that makes me very new to the game. But I am still having fun.

I don't remember where I was going with this. If you believe that the game is dead, go ahead and leave. It is probably dieing and decaying, but why state that fact over and over? There are other games out there.
I am a big believer in having fun, so believe me when I say this: find what gives you joy, find what is most fun for you. And do it.
Wow...sorry. I got off-topic big-time. I think? Was there even a topic anymore? *hides*b:cute The world may be small, but it is far from known.
Why the rage? It's a draining emotion.

I was originally put off by the idea of p2p games, until I compared the cost to other things I do. If I go out to dinner and a movie with friends, I'm already spending more than the cost of a month subscription (generally speaking, most seem to be $13-$15/month). And that subscription fee will provide me with an entire month of entertainment.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
Well I couldn't leave PW just like that. I mean, ALL those things I haven't tried and couldn't to. I am still a human. Very curious one. And yea, lazy as well. I came on a private server. You know, lvl105 as a matter of minutes, unlimited coins, r9 standard gear, etc. I want to try everything out before I will slowly leave PW for good.
To all who are saying that PWI is not dead. It is not. NOT YET. BUT HELL IT IS DYING. It REALLY IS dying. When you come on private server you can feel the difference. Half empty official server VS full private server with fun events everyday and custom content.
You say you like to play, but on a private server you're 105 r9 standard with unlimited money in minutes? Same **** different spoon, cept no one can criticize because you didn't cs. Right? Right. But play on an official server and buy r9 and everyone's all up in your shizz calling you a dirty cs'er no skill all gear hobo.
If it was as easy and as free on Pwi as it is on the fake servers no one would ever leave real pwi. Just admit it, you don't wanna pay for the gear, but you don't wanna work for it either, you want all the bling without the sting. Not judg'en, just don't try to beat around ze bush about it either.
Sure I could quit real pwi n join fake pw roll up 1 char of each class r9 105 in a day, but I'd be bored in a week. That kind of behaviour is just as bad to me as buying fcc from 1-100 and Gooning to 105 was.
Basically you left real pwi, where you can still do all the things you claim to say you liked about pwi, for a fake version of pwi where everyone pretends to be an op cash shopper. I give up b:surrender the logic here is too much for me to handle.
Go on, go, go! Shoo, out the door witcha.

- Skills acquisition
The game will have more than 200 skill challenges await players, Current knowledge, the players do not need all the skills challenge may also have a sufficient number of points to learn all the skills, you just need to pick you want to challenge those on it, of course you can also choose to they all are completed. Weapons and skills needed to slowly learned through the use of weapons and combat skills because their name implies weapons skills is the use of weapons, so once you use a Swords learned all five skills, you pick up another can be used as Swords five skills, without the need to re-learn slowly, they are the same type of weapon it. guild wars 2 gold portso you do not need to go looking for the skills of the trainer and then choose to unlock what skills through non-stop use, you will naturally grasp the actual use of the weapon. As previously said, the weapons skills to decide according to the type of weapons, not the weapons of the individual,First to take up arms, you will be able to use the technology first, followed by the sequence slowly learned skills 2 to 5. Treatment skills, generic skills and elite skills is another matter, including the fight against guild wars 2 gold for sale a powerful opponent guessing even drink spirits competition.and they need to learn the skill points, each skill must spend a number of skill points to learn, but once the players get skill points, you can according to their own like order to learn the skills, the knowledge and learning skills required number of points ranging from 1-14.0 -

First of all I said I went on private to try out all the things I couldn't do on PWI. Before I stop for good. I am not saying I will stay there for long.
Second thing about privates. You see, when EVERYONE has at least r9 gear its not about your gear and your money anymore. Its about skill. How you have mastered your char is important, not how much cash you give in game. EVERYONE are equal.
I wouldn't like these parts to be misunderstood. Well but I have to say that privates aren't all THAT good. I actually DO miss old good PWI. As I said PWI is a good game. Or was or whatever. Actually the girl above with strange purple text that was hard to read b:avoid pointed out a very important thing. It is different for every person. I was giving my opinion. I just can't afford to play PWI anymore. b:surrender0 -
Yeah this game is dead.

the point he was trying to make went right over your head lol what made the game fun for him has indeed vanished..go to the starter towns and look around and see for your self...or go to the level 20 plus areas where we used to fight to get our quests done and look how dead it is or to the 50+ areas and see how many are out questing...game may not be dead but it won't take much to kill it!0 -

Yes yes I know, Private servers are magical places all about ideal, fake situations that never even occur in reality let alone a video game - a la pure equality... that aren't even good?
Of course you wont stay there long, you're already superduperultimate endgame w/ no effort, there's no point to stay there long <.<
Every day I'm seeing cash shoppers 1 shotting people with "lesser" gear - and oh so proud they are of themselves about that.
Every day I'm see'n players with "lesser" gear but better skill beating up said all gear no skill people and giggling about it.
Still about skill in regular Pwi friends, Romans and countrymen, makes it all the more impressive to see what skilled people can do with the stuff they have.
If you expect to be on par with someone who can buy their way up, then my friends, your expectations are way outta whack. No one to blame for your disappointment and disillusionment but yourself there. There will always be people better than me, that have better things than me, that have better skills than me, that bought better stuff than I ever can; I could whine about it, I could quit, or I could just do my thing the best I can and be happy about it. I'm really not a positive person, but jeesh guys, braid some flowers in my hair and give me a bongo drum compared to some people around here b:shocked
And no his point didn't go over my head, I just thought it was funny how he went to a place where the things he enjoyed about pwi don't even exists fundamentally as a structure of the gameplay environment there.b:chuckle0 -

well, this game is 4 years old, and it's somehow a good achievement when you talk about a mmorpg.. Every mmorpg must came to an end you know..
I do know a certain mmorpg that can survive 10 years and still going on.. It's actually the same as here, "new players" are usually an alts, but that's not what determining a game dead or not..
Seriously, why do ppl have to concern about the game being declining in popularity, no new ppl coming, then start formulating a mathematical equations to predict the end of this game? actually you guys are not parts of publisher/dev team, you don't have to do all that research.. Except, if you have already / planned to spend like $10k on it, then it might be one of your concern..
What I should do as a player is play and enjoy the game, obviously. As long that I have this small group of ppl that I can enjoy playing with, the game is not dead for me..
When the fun comes to an end here, there are hundreds of alternatives out there. As simple as that. b:chuckle0 -

Just because a game requires skill unlike pwi where rank 9s like me 1 shot noobs all day. The only people left in pwi are people that csed so much they cant leave or the people that love the poor example of community in pwi. Only game i know where people break the tos so many times and don't get banned and the gms don't exist. PWI needs to earn the respect of the players and ban all 105s and account sharers(which i'm hearing they are starting to do.) Most people that play this game are alts anyways servers are dead compared to what they used to be.
Not everyone do PVP. Do you think that game is measured by PVP? Why?
I can't enjoy in PVE? b:cry0 -
Yes every game is measured on pvp or at-least the successful ones are even on pve servers there is pvp and tw. Just doing pve gets old real quick for a lot of people that's why pwi is starting to make alot more pvp events etc because pvp is new and refreshing not the same rehashed stuff you been killing for 4 years lol. Life is all about about competition that's what drives the world. Something you care-bears have to face is reality.0

This game will live on in a stagnant setting but won't completely die off until PWE decides to pull the plug on the servers. The issue isn't a direct issue with the game but more on a large scale for the gaming market. What games in general lack nowadays is innovation. Until games find the innovation they will have that overlapping and same redundant feeling to them and will lead to gaming fatigue which many people suffer from. This game has some good points while other areas are bad. Gaming has become too static in general regardless of the game you mention.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0

*sigh* b:surrender well you are still criticizing me for not being you. To be honest I don't like PvP. I hate PK. I never enjoyed it. I was on my PvE server having fun like that. Went on private to check out r9 stats and more importantly all the DUNGEONS I haven't been in yet. It was first time there I got in Nirvana. At least I saw HOW IT LOOKS LIKE. I know, you'll say I CAN do the same thing on PWI. But with all the money needed for my gear required to do nirvana? FC camping for weeks? I said before I want to play for FUN because it is A GAME. I don't want come home from work to another, virtual, work. But it is me. You say life isn't that easy and you have to work hard for what you want and I couldn't agree with you more. But this is a game. Not life.
And yes it DID go over your head *sigh*. Never said you can't have fun on PWI. Again, I am saying it is a good game. Fun game. But it lost something. Something that was fun for ME. I am just saying WHY I left. I don't see many new players around. Very VERY few actually if you compare with PWI 1 year ago. For ME fun was playing with new people, guiding them when they needed help, finding new things with them myself. NOW it is gone. NO new people. And if there are you gotta spend some time looking for them. I said one thing twice. You misunderstood it twice. PWI lost something that is fun for ME. It hasn't lost anything that is fun for YOU if I got it right. Guess playing for me is something different than playing for you. I am NOT you. b:cry
But oh well. I probably appear like another "QQer" to people on forums. To be honest I didn't even bother to go on forums until I couldn't bear the problems I described. I can understand you. When first guy started... "QQing" that game is dying you probably asked him why? You discussed things with him. Shared emotions and suggestions. What with the second guy "QQing"? Ignore? Third QQer? Hate? And so on and so on. What am I trying to say is that... they are not the same person. Now you tell to every player who shares his problems with game to gtfo?
If I appear like that, I'm sorry. I really apologize. I don't want to QQ and I didn't want to look like QQer. Looks like I AM QQing and I AM QQer. I won't post anything about game-health anymore. Maybe I just had bad luck. Maybe you have more experiences with games to judge game state. I'm an ordinary player, sharing his views. I promise I won't bother with this anymore. Cheers.0 -

Every game is measured by number of players, doesn't matter if they PVP or not. Companies really doesn't care if players PVP or not, as long as they're spending money on that game.
And game also is measured by it's activity. HT is really active server, and it's PVE server.
And there is so many PVE things to do in PWI that you can play it for a really long time.0 -
I'm surprised Noa is ******** about the game. 3 spark IG running to safe finally got boring? I think you just wish the game to die or account sharers to be banned so alllll these people who have been hurting you over and over can disappear. b:sadElena Costel: I wash my hands of this affair.

I installed a private server on my old computer so that I could see what the FB109s looked like.
It was nifty to check out, but apart from that initial exploration, I haven't bothered with it. The game loses a lot of its charm (for me) with no other players to talk to, at the very least.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

This game is old - 4 years on International and 6 years on China market. It's only natural that players will start searching for other games, and it's expected that newer games will be better than older ones.
However, problem is that many players who have "quit" this game, they have need to return on forums and tell us for the 100th time that they have "quit" the game.
And that makes me wonder why do they come back?
My guess is, that they feel hurt so much, that they need to convince us that game is so bad and that anyone who play this game is complete idiot. Cause they can't get best possible gear and be 105 in 7 days and one shot other people whenever they want.0 -

Agree 100%. I find the more mature crowd of gamers when they move on, leave the game, and the forums behind, and let those of us still enjoying the game they once did continue to play without the juvenile "this game is dead, this game sucks, why do you still play, etc" forum threads started by, well, juveniles.
If I enjoy the game, I will continue playing regardless of what's new on the market and regardless of the diatribe spewed forth by a handful of moron kiddies on a forum.WeBeKinky Leader - lvl 10x psychic
