Return PWI to the Glory days....

I'm Sure everyone can see the drastic drop in PWI players from 1 or 2 years ago, even on their FaceBook page people always comment saying things like "wow this game is still running?"

These days i see myself (Im sure im not alone)

Having to wait 2-3 days before you can get your BH done, never being able to get high level bosses down due to the high level player base dropping, Having to buy your armour because TT squads are so rare now...

But it wasn't always like that...

Who remembers the days....

The days when you would log in and there were at least 10 squads running a particular bh at any given time...

The days when you didn't have to WC for BH/FC squads, you found a squad right from the BH platform or Snowy village...

The days when there was always something going on whether that be bosses, TTs, AEU...


Well i for one miss those days... When PWI was truly an "MMO"RPG... These days it just feels like an RPG...

Anyway here is my idea... Having NO servers, everyone on the whole game can play with each other, just have 1 server with all players

Questions you may have on your mind:

But wouldn't that over crowd the game?
No, they could implement Worlds rather than Servers, for example there could be say 10 worlds (off the top of my head)
1)BH world
2)FC world
3)TT world
4)High level PVP World (This could be capped to say level 90+)
5)Low level PVP World (Capped at levels under 95)
6)Casual world
7)Casual world
8)Casual world
9)Event world (Or events could run on all worlds)
10)Other stuff

How would these work? ok, so the world has a specific thing its the best world for, e.g when you have to do ur BH goto a bh world since thats where everyone is doing BHs and so on, and then switch to a casual world to do some quests, get my drift?

What about people with the same names across different servers?
Simple solution, whoever made their character first gets priority, all others get a free name change.

I know this isn't a full proof idea as of yet, and would take a long time to implement into the game, but it could work.

I for one am sick of stacking BHs and never finding a squad until 2 or 3 days later, or having to wait all day to have someone help me with a quest because the high level player base is dead.

    If you mean server merge, that is not possible due to name database sharing.

    Really? No no no no no, you have that all wrong. The reason why you are having a hard time finding squads and such is not because all of the high levels are gone, but because they all are doing things that a person like yourself (somebody below 100) most likely can't do as fast as they want. The higher lv community has turned into some kind of microwave community (most, not all just to specify -_-) that wants things done in 60 seconds or less, and anyone that makes them go even slightly slower is messing them up.

    I remember the good old days, those days where you'd log on, go to the BH center and do a few 51's 69's and even do some 39's with people at that level.

    Nowadays, most of the people that play play because they've already reached the end, all there is to do is the daily high lv quests, the little minigames like TW and NW, and whatnot, PK'ing and socializing with people you know in-game.

    Making different worlds won't solve anything, in fact it'll make more people leave because they'd have to start over from scratch. Why would they do that?

    Merging the servers, even if they could do it without **** up something, would only be a temp fix. Oh, there'd be new people to pk, factions could merge (and could possibly be a problem in terms of TW, where it's a joke for low lv's anyway), nice nice, but without any new content, let me repeat, content, doing all that would mean nothing.

    The real problem is that there aren't many low levels that aren't alts of endgamers being power leveled by their main or his friends.

    Your proposed changes wouldn't change that.

    even 2y ago; even 3y ago, farming your own TT stuff was not a choice for most DD classes (or it was a stupid choice since you could grind and buy it way faster).

    true, lower bh are rare. but bh89 was always kinda rare.

    did the game move to 100+? yeah, what would you expect? but now you can go there much faster and get gear to keep you going easier. it's a camouflaged server reset really.

    And how exactly is the game progressing when people are quitting everyday? And if you think they aren't go onto every server and see how long it takes you to form a BH squad i guarantee you would give up on half the servers after finding 1 person, or go onto the facebook page, or just have a look at the refer a friend rewards and tell me any game with an average-high player base who would give away things like PWI are...

    If all the servers merged into one noone would have to start from scratch... that kinda was the whole point behind this

    Well if all the servers merged TW would be a lot more competitive and it wouldn't just be 1 or 2 factions running the whole map on every server due to 200 players limit in factions, also having a high and low world for PVP could also be done for TW letting lower levels get into TW aswell...

    It is impossible to return PWI to the glory days cuz its not about the game.

    Every game forum has the same QQ ****. Yes it gets boring after a few years of dayly play. Yes you get that empty feeling that you are just doing the same things over and over again while wasting your life.

    Doesnt have anything to do with the game.
    Everything i write is from PvE perspective unless mentioned otherwise.

    Not really QQing am i... Its an idea which could possibly work to make the game more interactive between players, whether they do anything to change the dying community or not ill still play... TBH after reading some of the posts on this thread i think the high levels are just uptight and ignorant people who put others down, whereas they could be doing alot more to make it fun by guiding others... Example above
