    I think i have used the reflection place like 2 times,maybe a total of 30 min..its dumb.

    If it was an actual new instance instead of the bh metal/warsong instance then yeah i would prob send a low lvl alt in there.Im not gonna waste my power bill on a measely 2k exp per min.And the time you walked your dog and came back you really havent made much exp anyways.
    This game is like washing hair with shampoo... Rinse and repeat if desired.

    you're dumb.

    if you leaving your computer on is making you worry about your power bill then its time to upgrade. my computer is on 24/7 and my power bill is no higher then when i didn't have it on that much.

    thank you! though this should have been taking care of the day it started. im pretty sure delaying this issue is losing pwi allot of players from dragging out the issue.

    I start dc'ing 9pm server time and it doesnt stop b:cry Impossible to keep a cat shop up, let alone try and do bh. Fun fun trying to do delta.

    Gm's please respond to the many queries from players. Seems like the care factor isnt there lately. You were pretty silent on anniversay events etc and now silent on this. You guys forgotten how to type? Are you being held hostage and need rescuing? Did someone spill coffee on the server again? The hamster got out and is running amock amongst the equipment?

    Its not worth logging in!

    These server d/c thing happens ALWAYS late at night when there is no GM/Admin/Support.

    The d/c are server wide, and server side, in some cases (based on archo cathsop population) is like 40-50% of the player base.

    They happen at interval, the time is not set however.

    Both USA players and foreigners seem to d/c regardless of their location.

    They suddenly stop after a random number of d/c.

    I have several theories:

    The most logical is that PWI's ISP is doing maintanance during late night hours, and is causing the d/c.

    The d/c however is so sudden that I also believe that may be possible that someone is messing with the server late at night and that may be causing the d/c.

    Another possibility is that someone is DOSing the server late at night.

    My last theory (very unlikely) is that someone found a glitch that overloads the server and causes a massive lag spike that d/c the players.

    Not that it is your job to be a GM...

    ...but I find it hilarious that it took 4 days to hear anything from anyone about the lag/DCs. Again even though I do not like you it's obviously not your fault.

    Has our community dum bass whatever representative posted on this at all?

    The thing is, I'm finding it not worth playing the game anymore,
    particularly at these times. It gets frustrating to just get all buffed
    and start on something, then dc.

    Is this something you think they'll really be able to fix? I hope
    so as I really enjoy playing the game when all is running
    smoothly.

    This is getting out of hand. First the Christmas event last year, then this year anniversary, and now the mass dcs all around without an official word. A company that gets paid for a game that runs 24/7 doesn't have anyone to check stuff on weekends? Really? b:cry Do they sell Zhen and stuff on weekends?

    1st of all: grats Jen, you're gonna be a great mod.

    2nd, the statement u made kinda worries me, in that I'm thinking . . .
    shouldn't the powers-that-be at PWI already be aware when such
    a thing as these dc's is happening?

    I don't know how things in "internet gameland" work, but with
    all the various things that have been happening lately (the dc's,
    the whole lateness/weirdness about anniversary, the massive
    amt of spam in forums, etc.), it's like no one's minding the
    store anymore. It's like the game has either been generally
    abandoned, or some major shakeup is happening at PWE that's
    drawing their focus elsewhere . . . . I don't know, it's just a
    general feeling that the wheels are coming off.

    I do hope this all is just a temporary phase, as I really like
    this game & want it to do well.

    they could tell us why which would be very considerate and appreciated but perhaps they haven't cuz a.) the reason why the mass random dc's are happening would make people run to another game (though the issue I think can do that job solo/without some horrible truth being revealed) b.) they figure why bother as the rage posts and tickets will just keep pouring in until the problem is fixed. or c.) both ">.>

    Anyway plus one to the Q_Qing cuz who likes being booted out of the blue? And since PWI isn't the only game around I'll just scratch my game itch else where until I can log in without being dc'ed multiple times. b:bye

    I wonder if its like a different MMO I played where DCs were at one point common because of people editing the .ini files. I only DC in this game when I am around populated areas. When the other MMO banned people who edited the ini the DDCing stopped

    I figured it out !!!

    DC's are done on purpose !!!

    Here is my reasoning

    More DC's during 2x = Less Nirvi runs = Less cannies and raps in market = higher demand = higher prices = less people that can afford it = more people that charge zen = more profit for PWI.....

    Sounds about right ? b:chuckle

    Frankly, I'm thinking they are neglecting PWI on purpose because they want people to get bored enough to leave so, they can shut it down to concentrate on their own made games.

    Paranoid? Probably, but the purpose of a game for me is having fun, not having another source of worry. b:angryb:cry

    P.S. and this update it seems was to add just another pack! -sigh-
