    If you only care for some casual gameplay and find a good faction, yea.

    If you're looking for something competitive, forget it.

    Depends. Everyone who sticks around has their reasons (friends/faction, goals to work towards, fashion/customization, still having fun, ect) despite all that's happened. If you're coming back for any of those, you're more than welcomed to. However, if you hope to contend with top players in PvP/TW, it'll take a lot of time (or cash) to "catch up".

    ....At the very least, there's a lot to do, what with all the daily quests and instances to run, so perhaps logging in and playing around/examining some of the new features and after a bit of playtime, you can decide if you really want to stay.

    Anyone who posts here obviously thinks it worthwhile playing or they wouldn't be on forum. People who don't think it's worthwhile playing, yet still post here need to reevaluate their lives.

    Fixed it b:cute.

    If you find pwi fun to play, you play it. If you find pwi a chore, you don't play it. PWI = game, it just depends on you on how serious you are about your fun and how much pain you will take before you start having fun.

    PWI is still a pretty good game and offers quite a lot to do if you're new or you're coming back after a very long time.

    The bad thing is the inflation and competitive PvP that will require extreme merchanting or charging a lot of real life money to catch up. The majority of people that PvP are those who have been around here for a lwhile already and had time to farm and build up their "fortune" and catch up to the new things.

    You can still participate in PvP events, Nation Wars, Territory Wars etc. but without the minimum required gear/refines/shards and other things like reawakenings, war avatar cards, titles, meridian, nuema...there will be a large gap and you'll find yourself rather powerless in most situations.

    Nah I recommend finding another game to play that has more action,better squad play,pvp etc because this game lacks it now days.The character now is more powerful than the mobs in the game and what fun is that?..its like buy hacks or something...though IMO armor should never have to be bought in a cash shop.

    The game is still worth playing, yep yep. And PVE is still fun, even when you're OP, I mean after all, there was a time mobs used to kick our ***** in the low levels anyway.

    I am STILL on the fence on rather or not it is worth charging for still. That ultimately keeps me from starting up an alt and seriously taking it to the point of getting R9.

    I can't seem to justify paying 1500 again. 5 years ago when the game was still a lot more "alive" than it is today, this decision would have been easy to make.

    To be fair, I think that only really applies to people with very good end-game gear. Not everyone can afford that, so for everyone else pve can still be fun and challenging


    HaHa... not true. G16 +7 gear is considered "mid game" at best yet with that you can still face roll nearly all of PVE excluding maybe a couple of instance dungeons.

    I wanna say I agree but... considering the amount of stupid I've seen, it's not quite true that G16+7 is faceroll tier for a majority of instances.

    So with only a few pieces of R9 you might run into problem going against full G16/full R9/R9R3 characters that have several rebirths/neuma/cards. This can be remedied fairly easily though.

    As a veno you'll have a lot of work to do both for yourself and your pet.

    I never really get why people continually come here and ask this question. You have an account, why not just log in and play to see how things are? Only you can ultimately make the decision on whether or not you enjoy it.

    Depends. Sometimes is fun, sometime is not. Sometimes you find nice ppl, sometimes you find greedy jerks. Sometimes everything runs perfect, sometimes you lagg like hell, or lag spikes. Sometimes you get things that you need or want fast, sometimes you work hard for them. Sometimes an instance run like EU takes 10-15 minutes, sometimes it takes 30-40minutes and thats because some players are to damn proud to tell its their first time, so you can explain to them what to do or not to do.b:pleased
