For those of you that don't know what arc is here is a link about it for you. http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1620421. I was just informed by a GM on the Raging Tides server...GM BearClaw that we will have to have arc from now on...im not sure how or why but there you go people....let the rage start. But first i would love to just thank you devs of PWI for officially ruining this game that i have loved for so long. TY so much.

    that is super nice of you but again u have to realize half the people that play this dont know how to follow simple directions. Im still researching the extent of the Arc requirement...any Moderator that cares to post explaining the extent of the Arc requirement with the new update would be GREATLY appreciated....still not happy i have to download a fail platform to play pwi

    Agreed, which is why I started this thread, where I ended up delving deep into what Arc does, and how to work around it.

    I hope the workaround still works after the update. If not, then I really have no desire to install some other program on my computer, just to play this game, regardless of the money I have spent on it.

    It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.

    You can rest assured that I will work to provide something, and there's a damn good chance it will still be a legit download as the current workaround is.

    I think they might frown on me hosting files, but it'll give me a good reason to power up my server again.

    AS much as i dont like ARC and have stayed away from it im gonna give it a chance. Ill say tho i dont think its right for PWE to copy Steam and if it slows down my PC it will have to go. I disable steam when my games are running.

    For 1 set to lets just see what they can offer us with this ARC. I think at this stage where people dont like ARC they would be rather stupid to put somethin into place UNLESS they have someting good planed with it!

    Lets hope its is a good arc rather than a learning curve for PWE!

    I dragged the client down to my toolbar and arc is installed.

    No issues.

    I don't like installing another program just to play a game.So it'll be frustrating for me if Arc is gonna be a must have to play PWI.

    Having to install arc is a huge turn off for anyone interested/new to the game.

    I really hope it's a joke, cause if it's true then it's really lame that they don't announce it anywhere.

    I don't like what I heard about arc. So I never bothered getting it. But saying you'll quit instead of installing it? lol. You don't even believe in that yourself, do you?

    I do. If i am forced to download Arc for playing PWI, then its a (very sad) farewell.

    Me too actually.
    Especially if Sylen's fantastical work-arounds are thwarted or my ineptitude is unable to utilize them functionally or there was no trustworthy client download floating in the aether.
    I don't really like thinking about that though, because I hope it never has to come to that point.

    I had to go around the arc with exactly the guide you saw in the beginning. I tried Arc, I got it installed fine. When I tried to install pwi, it just got stuck. Like, boom, it was there for 9 hours because I left it on when i went to work and when I came back, there was NOTHING done.

    Hope they keep it possible, otherwise its just byebye PWI for me.

    Yea i noticed too which is kinda funny cuz i was specifically told by BearClaw the GM on raging tides yesterday that Arc would be needed for PWI.....so kinda funny that we dont...or kinda typical that a GM doesnt really know anything xD

    No it is not. Arc is installed on my system cause I have other games that I try out. I launch PWI the same way I have been for years.

    AGAIN...we have established that fact...now if only i could be told why a GM would tell me we WOULD need it when we didnt and cause me to worry when i didnt need to that would be nice.
