    The game is played to have fun.
    Packs and powerleveling killed fun (for many, many players).
    Therefore, one might say that the game is dead.



    It's only an opinion, though.
    Still, it's quite sad to see how official PWI turned into cash-farming machine. And it's even more sad to see how some private servers have better class and gear balance than official.

    Actually this game is more alive than the other games including the new ones (maybe not more active than that NC soft game I have yet to try, which was new. It's so bad on other games, not even the forum is alive, almost no one posts about some topic, not even QQing, people don't even play the game. That's when you figure the game is dead.
    Sage barb in progress.

    I can't be bothered with a game that exploits its users with gear gating and disgusting power creep, unbalanced classes and a power creep in the cash shop. It's disgusting in this day and age it makes me sick.


    http://youtu.be/zIAxgO_hqsU certain demonstrates why I am not a fan of PWCN as a publisher and I feel ashamed that this corrupt publishing company house prays on people and more importantly can keep doing these things. Also PWCN (PWI?) seems to be like the old style of MMOG developers who care nothing for their users and see their users as cash cows where as the newer developers

    A: Release content every 2 months or 2 weeks.
    B: Meet users expectations.
    C: Use Imcomparables when they make mechanics in game
    D: Improve upon existing design
    E: Are more honest with their users (and more fluent in game theory and solving problems.
    F: Have a degree of respect for their users.

    Just hoping the old hats like Nexon and PWI/CN and the like actually see right of way and see how other companies are doing it. Not have half-**** lazy developer teams and dodgy business practices and also allow the free players some degree of 'earning' things over time.

    (i.e when you have a cornered market and a broken auction house, it sucks right?)
    Time won't wake/make you wiser, but it will definitely wound you.

    What I've Heard:

    Perhaps this is only in Heaven's Tear server, but a lot of people have been saying PWI is "Dead" or "In its sunset years"

    I asked about why they think such things, their replies have been:

    PWI has been making new games that are better

    the PWI "engine" is old

    The Levels are very top-heavy. Nobody wants to join a game where everybody is level 100.

    My Opionions:
    There are lots of new games of course, yet I feel like Perfect World is their main game... I have played a couple others and it seems like this one is by far the best and PWI puts more into it..

    The levels are very top-heavy... yet you can have many characters of different classes. I think a lot of us only have 1-2 level 100+s. Also if PWI would advertise this game more, lots more people would join.

    Please put your opinions down! I want to hear them :)


    @ The OP...

    I beg to differ I've seen certain (a lot of) products that update, once every 2 months and once every 2 weeks and that also have a lot better development teams that are more honest and open with their players. That are REALLY developing a competitive environment for E-Sports or are expanding our with great art teams and level designers and that don't have to work with a 6 year old flaky engine.

    I've also noticed the rise in quality in betas that have been coming out. Also developers that are VERY open and honest with their users. This could fail but it is still a lot better than the Chinese language barrier. PWCN is hopeless about whatever features are coming down the pipeline. They don't have a Twitch TV, a youtube developer channel or nothing it is disgusting.

    Also the high ranking armor should be achieveable (not by using coin ingame -- over time) to achieve but it isn't, it is limited to a narrow band. I'd rather spend 30/50 USD and be able to access everything with my 'play time' over the course of 1 to 2 years and feel like I've achieved something that have to pay for health (pot system in PWI is a joke.)

    Also please watch this video:

    If this sounds like Perfect World International. Yeah. I also feel sorry for Cryptic Studios as well they got picked up by a very nasty vexatious publisher. Also a lot of the 'content' released just seems to be more power creep, not more "mechanics", "story" or that "difficulty" is never fun it is just boring. Also that the solo ability is limited to one class. If you play tank like yours truly you want to still be able to have that degree of solo ability (without using charms) but here is where Perfect World as a game, I think falls flat.
