SweetieBot, please report server status.

Answer to question: Not a system that tries to make their people cashshop alot of stuff, for example the Guardian Scrolls, Tisha/Tienkang stones when refining and those red messages telling you to buy Zen because...!
Why? This game is only busy with money and stuff and therefore few to zero new players will join, they can't keep up with this system because you need to be effin rich right now to be able to actually buy something.

The MMO I played before coming here near 5 years ago, is no more. There was, however, one feature that was a part of the game, if you bought the actual hard copy of the game, as opposed to the free download, that I sorely miss. That feature was called the "Bling Gnome".

Now the name, being a bit cartoonish, wouldn't have to be the same but the Gnome was much like an all class pet, I suppose, but it's job was to gather all the drops your killing and plundering would produce. In addition to freeing up your time to continue plundering without having to run around picking up stuff, it would also convert all items below whatever level you set, to coin, as if you had gone and NPC'd the items, and then directly deposit the coins into your inventory.

It was fantastic, and a brilliant enough feature that most players I would come across who had started the game by using the free download, would seek out a hard copy of the game just to get that "Bling Gnome Activation Code".

So, in my not so short manner, this is the feature I would MOST like to see in PWI, that comes from a previously played MMO.

Sweetiebot please award 5 points to TechDawg - Sanctuary for excelent suggestion!

How about a sort of "Tax" as an extra income for factions that own land? Basically; a percentage of all cash spent at NPC's is split amongst all land-owning factions, based on the percentage of the map they own. I was gonna say 20% of all NPC cash from the lands you own, but then whoever owns Archosaur would get 90% of all the cash being spent and that's not really fair. Another game I used to play actually used to let the dominant faction set the tax rate, at minimum it received no extra income, but it could be increased.

Just an idea, could help with rising charm costs a bit. Could also just increase the value of lands again, I suppose.

Maintenance Question: What feature, that you've seen in other mmo's, would you like to see in PWI. Bonus points if you can explain the benefits of said system/feature.

PvE server, i.e.:
without PvP: without PvP events, without Nation Wars, even without PvP skills (PvE players not need them).

But it is impossible.

Also remove bots and add quests to compensate absence of bots (but bots have same chance to be removed).

About TW ... make them original (like right after reset).

Also remove Arc since other games not use it without problems.

A way to transfer to another server, allowed like once every 6~12 months. PWI went from 1 time zone to 3, not to mention that ppl have their rl schedule change from time to time. This would allow the players to have the game adapt to their rl rather then trying to do opposite. It would also finally give a real use to the Morai server.

Aww tyvm, Guess I need more posts tho to bring it to fruition. Thank you all the same tho : )

Maintenance Question: What feature, that you've seen in other mmo's, would you like to see in PWI. Bonus points if you can explain the benefits of said system/feature.

1) Events for Holidays - Example -Winter Events that run from like the week before Christmas until New Years. Christmas Dungeons, Christmas Quests, special drops that help restore your health etc. Bonus -Drops tie into the title system of the game ie. sweets for the 'sweet' title etc etc. Every holiday in a year has some kind of event with special drops:)

2) Title System -Way cooler titles (think Anchorman movie, lol); easier ways to get them than the current title system we have. One of my favorite titles is a mapping title where you have to cover every square inch of the territory/map to get the title; kind of a pain but one I'm very proud of.

3) Not sure what you call this but every time you log a character; you can inquire the age & it tells you exactly how long (years, months, days & hours etc) you've been playing the game as a whole and that particular character.

4) Birthday Presents for the character - Every year you used to get a mini pet; now it's changed to a couple different things.

Benefits of these things -Gives players more of an incentive to play the game and stick around; makes use of the map besides just certain parts of it. Plus maxing the title system of that game was intensely challenging but you didn't need squads to do a lot of them. So something to do for bored players besides mad dallies that are starting to feel more like chores & less like a fun part of playing the game.

*sigh* Dreamer dreams on lol

1. a feature that allows us to actually turn off Horns. We are given the options to click off all other chats, but the most annoying and largest one of all we have to suffer through. It's a bit more than annoying when suddenly you have all this large text and usually of no importance other than someone had to announce they are farting rainbows and you are in the middle of a TW or NW. And because of so many of those morons who just love to spam horns, your block list is already full. I know so many ppl who have just said "**** it..going to go play (insert game name here)" and logged off PWI because of the spamtards with the horns. So essentially, PW lost out on players while another game gained. Just let us have our own control over the Horns, k?



2. I think the idea of pick up pets is spot on.
No need to explain, it's not rocket science lol

3. And yes, YeS YES! we need a customize feature as to what is picked up while we are using auto-culti. What one person doesn't want as drops, might be treasures to the next so it all works out for everyone.

4. Areas to bot/culti in should be in another map as others suggested - identical to where we all bot now but made for auto-culti purpose only. Culti would NOT be allowed in normal map areas so all quest mobs would be there and not farmed to death. (auto culti would not work in normal map areas)

with that said...nighty nite PW. I be sleepy b:surrender
