I think PWI needs a new server.All current ones contain mostly level 90+.there are no new players and no help for new players-.i.e-questing.Perhaps some of us need a fresh start in a new server with a working economy unlike the broken one in harshlands.what do you guys think?b:shutup

    No.

    What PWI needs is a way to engage new players, and a way to keep old ones involved in the game.


    A new server on a game with servers that may as well be deserted? Not the smartest call.

    A new server would have a broken economy, possibly even a more broken economy than current servers.

    Within a week or two a new server would be inundated with assassins level 100+ botting, running FC and cornering the economy. Within a month some probably r9rr, NW would be unbalanced, TW would be unbalanced, etc.

    Restarting with the same does not fix the underlying problem. Root cause for a broken economy is:
    - Ways to generate a huge supply of coins
    * Jolly Jones with a dozen accounts - against the rules but people do not care
    * Autoculti with a dozen accounts - against the rules but people do not care

    - No heavy coin sinks to get rid of the coins
    * Tokens of Luck, Dragon Orbs and charms not directly available for coins, therefor no ceiling price for these.
    * Endgame (R9) gear only available with gold, not with coins due to Medal of Glory not being farmable -anywhere-...

    These put the supply/demand in an imbalance, and reduce the value of the coins as a whole. The only reason that gold hasn't breached 4 million per gold on Morai is that the system doesn't let you set a higher price then 4M.

    Solutions:
    - ENFORCE 2 accounts per person and 2 connections per IP (that'll trash multiclient farming, and also kill off a bunch of catshop farms in the process).
    - Create coinsinks for consumables. Especially, selling the Tokens of Luck for 20k or so somewhere would solve a lot of problems, since players can do a lot with those (from skills to crabs to teleacoustics - stuff I don't use now but if I could get em with coins I'd definately get a few).
    I'm so P.R.O... I Press Respawn Often.

    Ulsyr 103/103/104 BM. Working on the last R9 part (Axe).
    Khelvan 103/103/103 LA Cler. LA? LA. Deal with it.
    Evryn 103/102/101 Sagely Mystical Myst of Mystiness.
    Gromth 102/102/102 Sage Panda.

    NO!!! we really dont need a new server. Wat we need is a server merge.

    What we need is:
    - Server merge

    - Option to (even if for once) transfer to other server (i personally would love to move to EU server to be able to attend events, since my main focus is PvE anyway, idc about activity in pk too much)

    - Active GM's

    - Stabilized economy, possibly by adding ways to manufacture items through (for example) NW tokens, mysterious chips (yes those exists, but who uses them when it's so easy to just farm the mats?), NPC's selling items for a fixed prize

    |||||--> I am not saying EVERYTHING should be available through NPC's and exchanges (with coin sink obviously), some/most items should be cashshop only, simply to be able to keep the servers running.

    |||||--> I see this more as make an exchange rate of (for example) 100 tokens (or more) + x amount of million coins to create a platinum HP charm, while they are also available through cashshop / packs.

    It's a very rough idea on the economy stabilisation, but stabilizing it takes a lot of thought and work about what to do and what not, it's not as simple as:
    "Take out X and Y will happen".
    Which seems to be the way PWE's management thinks.

    Out of any suggestions made in any thread ever will actually be listened to? None.

    Sorry I don't believe a new server would support the reasons why you would like a new server. My self I believe that another answer will soon stand on us and eventually the servers will have to merge to support players. Opening another server I don't feel would bring new players either.

    With the above in mind and comments from other players taken into account im not going to Log this.

    Thanks,
