So what gives? No News?

So what gives here...

A few observations...

New sales came Tuesday after maintenance, like always..however, there is NO NEWS POST regarding what said sales are (yes, I figured it out on my own), or WHEN they end, perhaps the most important part - pretty standard by now to assume two weeks, but come on.

Almost ALWAYS there has been some sort of weekend promotion since I returned to the game, usually announced between Thursday mid day between reset that night - here we are two hours post reset, and ZERO announcement on anything going on there, AND it's a holiday weekend to boot?

Speaking of holiday weekend - normally we'd get something fun - an event, or a special sale/promotion, or exp/drops, or something...Nope, nothing...

Has PWI forgotten about us? Is this the ended we've all been dreading for 5 years? OR is it just someone went on vacation and another rocket scientist forgot to pick up their job duties for the week?

Now is time for mr Surtr to define his time, will he stand up and roar, or sit back and purr?

    About the news post, ok you're right on that part.

    About the entitlement to events? Lol. There are already events running, and they last till when, somewhere in may?

    I think the "no news post" issue is due to the "no CM" issue...

    I couldnt give a rip less if we get an event or not...

    My bigger point is the fact the new sales came in without an announcement, leading me to believe that quite possibly there IS a promotion running this weekend that we do not know about due to no announcement, there could possibly be some kind of Easter event we don't know about for the same reason

    If nothing else, at least give us an acknowledgement posting.

    No news, no new contents and no new codes, why ? Because this game is dead.

    The game is as dead as the players are. LC server is alive. Forum trolls are not the game.

    Complain, if there is an issue, a real reason. There isn't one atm. This is a chinese product.

    We are getting the chinese events now, because the company has obviously troubles to stay alive on the tough market. Atm they don't have the money/people to create new content just for the pwi version. We get their anniversary now, not our own ones. Chinese don't have a christian majority/tradition, so there is no need to celebrate easter.

    Complain, when they are making big mistakes, like the ocean orb disaster.
    Or complain, when little failures happen, like the disappearing sparkling crystals.
    Make a petition to fix the tele/stuck glitch exploit.

    But don't complain if you are just out of fantasy.
    Make a comic strip with your own screenshots.
    Explore and enjoy the new landscapes.
    Make your own events.
    Work on your gear, weapons, skills.
    There is always something to do in this game.

    So lets bump this to the top

    Two weeks in a row, while we get new sales, we don't get an announcement on what the hell they are or how long they will last - yeah, nice marketing PWI

    on top of that, theres been no word of what, if any, "weekend promos" are running this weekend or last - we got the announcement for the login thing, but thats IT...I have a tough time believing that this cash grabbing machine is not spitting out either an S card raffle, or some kind of charge/spend rewards promo to generate more money...I think they are there, we just don't know it due to lack of communication.

    Crazy Frog found his way into the PWI control center, and did what Crazy frog does! He punched around on every button he could find, now all PWI staff are busy trying to correct the results of Crazy Frogs antics!

    You might want to check the PWI News section on the Arc site; they typically still do updates there. In fact, there was a weekly sales blog put up on the 14th describing the sales... b:surrender

    Yeah. They've retroactively added them. At the time of this thread (and the posts within) none of those were actually there.

    I guess we'll see if this means they'll update properly after today's maint.

    If they posted one now, it would probably confuse people into thinking there's another one.

    expect little else just like MAIN ARC page shows last MONTHS spend promo no mention 5 weeks later of new 1 or removal of old promo,lack of information is typical PWI like server going down was TOTALLY ignored and shoved under the carpet.
