Poll: How do you feel about pwi?

I think the game is a really ****ing amazing game that's extremely well made in so many way. If you're looking for something casual to play to make friends or chat you should definitely try it out.

The company handling the game is complete rubbish. If you want to win you should run as fast as you can and never look back.

PWI is a great game, but mismanaged like nobody else can except the current one is doing

Stay away from this game. Just a bunch of people that would set your house on fire just so they can make you pa for a glass of tap water to extinguish it

I voted neutral. The game still has the potential to become something on the same playing field as EQ, but fails to because of mismanagement by PWE, and horrid code changes from Wanmei to support our versions specific differences.

If some people could pull their heads out of their *****, they could really revive the games community and make this version as popular as it's parent in China. It's going to take a lot of work at this point though.

Pretty much this ^

This man speaks truth!

Voted against playing, this last fiasco with roll back/ not roll back / already had done a rollback is just to much of a headache to keep me interested, so now i will only play on weekends if my faction needs me for tw. Luckily there are many options in gaming.

f:ouch New gms i dont think they know how to fix the glitches, hire the old ones back maybe the game would be better with less glitch b:dirty

Before you go and vote down this game based on the last week of mishaps. Maybe you should look into why they were caused. Because i feel like most of you are still QQing about a Rollback. Tho i feel Archosaur server isn't even all that popular and confirming this for me is the number of names that went up on the redspam from Emailed Orb codes. I saw maybe... 20-30 people i've never seen before. Quit literally all of arch got to know each other that day.

Furthermore, for those that a QQing because of the roll back, do yourself a favor and do some Research into a Roll back. See what it is, why it happens and how oftain it happens to games. IMO tho i've only player this FREE MMO. Only other server games i've played was.

If you can't accept bugs then MMOs are just not for you.

So what, someone wrote a Code and forgot to put the digits in to make it a 1 time only game. It will be handled. For a gaming community of a free MMO you all are asking WAY TOO MUCH.

Gezz, -snip- forums didn't blow up this fast when their **** hit the fan.
DoD and the rest of the Staffing of PWI, thank you for trying.
My opinion will always remain, should have stopped at 2x/5x. I can speak for 2 others when i say, we just wanted to know that you cared about us. Nothing more.

Lag spikes, Bugs, random Patching updates, Losing NPCs, its all a fun ride. I like an MMO that keeps me on its toes. And, tho i've only been playing for 1 year and so many months, an expansion update every year is pretty... sweet.

Great game mostly,
Mostly honest player base,

But the few dishonest players who think its their god given right to rip everyone off and a management which fails to punish them because they listen to the few who think it their god given right to rip us all off, make this game a nightmare for those who play by the rules.

In any business: consistency is important. PWI is consistent in not punishing mass abusers. It's not that they feel it's their given right, but that PWI let others off the hook so they should and will continue to do so.

And whats with these stupid short bans.
People who cheat should be treated like Lance Armstrong and banned for life when caught doing any cheating, not just a 3 day ban.

Lance? - His career was already over! He's just getting publicity for his other **** now. No: PWI should be consistent, learn from their past mistake at punishing and stop the madness. (sure they will eventually anyway as they've done).

Considering playing this game, just wondering what the public's opinion of their game

I am an avid MMORPGer and have played most every game online.

I started PW when PW-MY came out (sister to PW-CN)... and that was about 3 years prior to PWI. Then PWI came out and had Fairy's so I came over on day 1.

The community is exceptionally strong and I have yet to see this type of interaction in any other game - including how tight knit some guilds can be.

I did leave and went to two huge games by a big named gaming company - one is about 5 years also now. And that game and the other... is like sure... everything is gainable but the squading, the guild families, the wars? It's like .... simply hundreds and thousands of people .. going through the movements and ... nothing more.

They have events > and give you stuff. As you level > they give you stuff. Some has methods of moving to another channel > to level at a 2x pace.

Give > give > give > give... Fun at first.. but it's almost as if - you are saturated in stuff so easy to get... and nothing really worth working HARD for.

And that's the thing.

I've been in some of the top guilds - where folks group up (fixed squads) and keep the same groups in TW. Over time, trust is built - where you go in and farm for each - one at a time.. knowing eventually it will be your turn - but giving 100% - when it is someone else's gear you are grinding for.

And when these groups do go to war - they move effortlessly together - almost no words needed because they know how each other works in a group, thinks and reacts.

It's very hard to explain but the moment you leave to go to another game - sure.. the excitement of NEW .. is there.. till over time, you see... it's not the same, and simply cannot compare.

Even when I left and kept playing other games - I kept taking peeks at this site and forum and it was like I was deeply ... home sick.

I came back in September - and was torn between this and the game I was leaving. So for 30 days I went back and forth.

What changed my mind? I got into several guilds - met up with old old players like me, new players and there are such helpful folks in game.

They talk to you (not AT you), they don't treat low levels as a plague - not worth their time or effort and they are very good at mentoring.

So I deleted the other game - and have not looked back since Oct 01.

It's all about what you want.

This time I'm having fun and not being too serious ... I don't need THE best gear anymore, I don't need to be THE best either.

I'm quite content... just being back.

My first character was a Werefox (Venomancer) and the changes PWI made - are .... thrilling. I can't wait to hit 100.

And when I do... wow... the expansion will be here by then.


Here's the thing. Everyone will tell you it's Pay to Win - sure, it can be.... but is that what you want out of the game? Some of the happiest times playing PW was when I was small, had nothing exception great folks in my guild and around me - helping and hitting the instances... together.

That's what I like about PWI - the together... it's very strong in this game.. like no other I've played.

Yeah, you guys only complain on everthing they do to us, if they give rewards you complain, what's u guys problem? b:beatup b:beatenup

that's exactly what i meant to say, that's the best in PWI, no other game have it, everyone... together.
I'd like to meet you someday.

And keep like that u'll reach lvl 100 as the best like that b:laugh i'm lvl 100 already, i don't like to lvl like this but i reached some part of my lvl 99 and 100 with FCs even though i hate to do rooms, but i love to do Full FC, because i met lots of friends in there hehe. see ya b:victory

I still play the game on a daily manner. I have some good friends here and a great faction.
Sadly I saw how badly the game was managed over the years (the others have I guess already explained all of the reasons for that).
I keep asking to others: "Why wasn't this game properly worked on? Imagine how stellar it would have been if developers and GMs truly cared!".

It ends being like the other MMORPG I quit before being here, particularly the huge mistakes we are put through, followed by inadapted compensation and "sorry, we will fix it SOON" without any proper fix date (if there is any). Do you guys need an example for that? b:surrender
...at least the prices for basic weapons and armor are not astronomical unlike there (I still wonder why TT and other farmable equipment are not dirt cheap, given how instances are overfarmed).

Etc..

This game has had great times and not so great times, I'm still here and I'll remain.
