    First non-human reply!

    The latest manual patch appears to be: Patch 796-798 14.1MB (14797264 bytes)
    That's average-sized.

    This patch hasn't been officially listed yet.

    I'd like to see the teleport bells (I think that's what they're called) given away. There is no downside for PWI whatsoever and we can get places faster. I'd do Paperclip for Villa every day on my chars too, if I had them....

    I'd also like to see socket stones given away. Again I don't see any downside for PWI. We could socket all our stuff and spend money on shards.

    Socket Stones, Crabmeat, Herbs, Teleport Stones, That bound teleport bell from that one map event, the bound auto-pots, C-B packs from War Avatars (These will not give tons of significant power the way A/S cards do.), Magic Shadow pills And the apoth you guys have been giving out already. Note I've linked bound versions of things whenever possible. :P

    They even have one made and translated. I'm guessing the only reason it was not released is because of the lame 1-80 pill. They should just have that item removed and release codes for these.

    Reasonable promo? Well first, let's move away from the charge promos.

    I enjoy that Crown+Plat HP Charm promo - but instead of the Crown/Tiara, I vote some sort of Fash wep? Hell maybe even event gold, and toss in Fash weps in there!

    Reasonable free promo? To me that says simple things that people need and use all the time. An example would be mirages, perfect chi stones or even teleport stones.
    I loved that temporary npc we had there for awhile. The one near the Tailor in South Arch. You could do a few simple daily quests and collect items for other nice things.
    Free temp fash is ok by me as well, I enjoy that sort of thing. Oh! How about the random chance to get Ecstacy Cards or Excitement Cards, or Rotating Cog of Fate.
    Nightspike Crystals!! Eh.. ok dreaming there xD.

    Hi!

    I would like to see the autorecovery orb or advanced autorecovery orb given once in awhile or even 'perma' like the blessings. This sort of functionality would promote pvp and help the overall game economy with more pots being utilized.

    How about some AWESOME, month long charm, that balances "anyone" at 100 or higher out to high end OP. For example, "EVERYONE'S'" stats rise to equivalent of R9S3 +12 ref with ALL VIT Gems. The ones to gain the most are those with lower quality gear and ref. Likewise, those with high end pieces gain the least. Then we can have 4 glorious weekends of NW battles where the CASH players will face an onslaught of attacks from poorer players. The Cash players would be forced to PROVE it is not just their gear that gives them bragging rights (Obviously we all know "some" players know their stuff and gear isn't what makes them who they are).

    The Charm should be
    NULLIFIED in TW
    ACTIVE IN ALL NON PVP instances AND NW!!!!

    Ideally, nothing.
    Alternatively, HP/MP food.
    Weapon fash would be cool too I guess.

    I agree with most of the things that have been mentioned so far but would like to add:

    > Absence Notes - There a numerous circumstances, out of your control or not, that can prevent you from logging in occasionally. And we're not even given any chance at all to obtain these anymore.

    > Smilieys - \o/

    > Profundity Scrolls - Why would you NOT want free experience...


    I am sure there are more, but I just can't think of anything else that hasn't been mentioned yet.
    Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

    Maintenance Question: What type of items (reasonable) would you like to see given away via promo codes?

    Since you have the problems with your codes under control now, you can surely give out some 10* Orbs. Or even better....give out a 12* Orb code that is ofc only usable on bound gears.

    Why? Surely ppl could use it to refine anything between 1-12 but only the fewest will actually go full +12 or at least even reach one part +12. When that single orb motivates them to cash for everything up to +11 then you make a huge revenue.

    Codes like that would be the smartest choice. Anyone would be very happy and you make lots of money. The ones alrdy sitting at +11 will jump into the air outta happieness and the others get motivated like I said.

    But this won't be considered simply because some smart-... ppl in PWEs marketing department think that ppl will cash for +12 Orbs anyways...so there is more to gain without a code like that. I could only tell them: Look at the current game. If you don't give them a reason then only very few will start cashing again. Codes like that would be a great motivator. ijs.

    BUT!!! MAKE SURE THAT THIS CAN'T BE ABUSED AGAIN!!!! W/E YOU CHOOSE TO BE YOUR NEXT CODE.

    Well more Event gold would be nice first off seeing as how the DQ system was never reinstated or newer version introduced. Some nicer things for higher levels would be nice to. Although with gear the way it is now i dont see the gear you can get for lvl 80's as a good option but some nice pots or accountstashable but not tradeable d orbs of various refine levels.And maybe some account stashable hypers again. When you stopped making them account stashable so we can use the abundance that we have already for lower level alts on the same account you kinda screwed us all. b:surrender
