    I hope to God you're right that there will be a second part that's cross-server. But considering PWI wouldn't even do cross-server battles when they were doing the PW World Champ or whatever thing (which is why each server had to kill Harpy Wraith instead of fighting), I'm getting the feeling that PWI is just too lazy to allow cross-server events.

    Edit: Also, I would think if PWI was making cross-server, something they've never done before, they'd play it up so much there would be no doubt.

    Edit 2: Fixed terminology

    Correct... Server vs Server wars would be one of the major selling points of the new patch and hence at the very least highlighted when promoting the new expansion. However only "server wide" wars is mentioned. We definitely aren't getting it.

    Just a note on the sweepstakes, it seems that as someone mentioned earlier you get a Warrior crusade bundle, so you get a pet and fashion set plus you get to open a Crusade pack every day :).

    Along with 100k free xp?


    How are some people getting these bundles? I signed up first day of teaser on ll 4 accounts I have and not one gift yet?

    Er, it would be cross-server.
    Inter-server is within one server.
    The inter-service parts refer to within the server.

    inter-server means between servers... what are u smoking? b:shocked

    Er, excuse my terminology :x

    Actually, I take that back.
    inter-server communication is an extension of the client-server model in which data are exchanged directly between servers.

    I'm really tired and I can't figure out now why google translate is using both inter- and cross- .

    From that teaser it seems unlikely they are going to let us do server vs server battle :(
    PWI fail.
    I hope they lower the cost of the new gear then since the battle is now going to have much less activity.

    Lemme see if i got this right. You MAY win a 'prize' when the new expansion begins but it's only a time limited item?

    That's got to be the most dumbest idea i have ever heard tbh. oh wait, it's from PWI, enough said

    Nation War preview released

    Times are about the same as the latest TW bracket, only every day instead of just the weekend. So if these ''Military Coins'' and their reward items (dragon orbs, raptures, cannies, warsoul mats) are untradeable, this will be yet another feature that non-North Americans won't even notice exists.

    I've read about the new expansion server v server timing.. and it says that the wars will take place at 20:00 server time and only during weekend.
    Well i don't think this is a good idea, server v server should be every day or at least 4 days a week during different daytime nad nigthtime , i come from Europe and i play in american server, most european players would not attend this server v server wars;
    in the end we will see always same ppl during wars. I think that's not a good idea. b:surrender

    PWI or anyone from PWE never said that it's gonna be Server vs Server. That info we got from Google Translate, and it may not be translated correctly.

    Read carefully, it's not Server vs Server.
    It's just one server, but a lot of people on that server can compete.

    Google is accurate enough.
    It wouldn't elaborate so much on single server and cross server if that wasn't the case.

    There is a lot of stuff that pwcn gets that pwe never mentions about. SvS may end up being one of those.

    I do agree with that XD I understand PWI HQ is located in the USA and it's generally focused around that area but there are a lot of players from other continents b:surrender

    Blame international laws. They used to actually have contests where they were willing to send things outside of the states. Then after something or another happened (maybe they just said F it or whatever. Too lazy to find out what sparked it) they stopped doing that and made it so all physical prizes were restricted to being in the US only.

    The EU servers probably do still have their own promotions though, so...

    Hey, You! I had the idea that these Nations Wars would be inter-server wars too, but in your post it doesn't say anything about inter-server wars D:

    Could you clarify if these nations wars will be inter-server or not?

    I quit, a while back for a game that officially came out Tuesday, August 28th. (and I was part of the 3 day head-start [since I pre-purchased] :D) A friend that still plays PWi (IDK how!) said there was some 'expansion' coming during tomorrows maintenance, so I figured I would at least 'glance' it over. What's really sad is that they probably put more effort/time/money into that stupid 'teaser trailer' than they did the actual "expansion"... Not to mention this whole "new" 'nation wars' thing, yea like that's not a complete and total rip off of the new game I play (and the WvW feature in it). At least that is what it looks like at face value to me... I must say, aside glancing over this so called "expansion" to 'humor' my friend, I am glad I have turned my back on PW and haven't looked back. For the longest time I was so accustomed to never seeing a GM, having any complaints/tickets ignored (or CANNED RESPONSES) etc... Well, while playing my new game I almost went in to cardiac arrest when I received not only a response, but a personal response from an employee of that games company. Thank you Perfect World Entertainment, for setting the prime example of how NOT to run a customer service department of a company!!!!!!!!! Maybe it's time you not only copy your competitors games, but their superb level of customer service that they provide with them too!!!!!!!!!

    Grats on comparing a P2P that just came out with a some years old F2P game. Besides that, how much do they pay you to spam those links?


    Meh, mildly excited about the skill balance and other stuff. Don't care for wars as an European...
