Not dying huh!?

It's just not PWI that is dying out, It's also the bigger genre of PWE games, ESO(DEAD), JD(GETTING THERE), PW(GETTING THERE), FW(GETTING THERE)
So it's basically the company itself, with the Arc implent and some other crud, it's knocking allot of games down. Even with private servers, the amount of development work for the PWE games have went down hill. With PWI most of the tools needed is already out i guess, for editing and so forth, Though on here our other pwe game sections are suffering also, Hopefully there will be a turn around! :):!

Hello sir 343.

This is an off topic reply so here i go.

I am an old player of PW Private servers 1.3.6 and 1.3.8. I'm a huge fan of the community and everything. I basically grew up with this game and it was all possible because of you and few others.
I am writing this in order to thank you for all your time and everything you have put in into this.

If you know if there are some alive 1.3.6 servers which i couldn't find on xtream or other voting sites I'd love to hear from you.

Have a good day and I know you get tons of these but I just want you to know that it is appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Risto

I redownloaded PWI a few days ago to hop on and check out the state of the game and see where the community is at. When I logged in, I had LC appended to my name and I was now on a PvE server. This game is surely dying and it's an absolute shame -- years later I still find myself comparing games to PW. You guys have kept this community alive for quite some time, it's dwindling down but people like Bash show that it's possible to prolong the inevitable death of this game more and more.

Well knowing what I now know about this game (I signed up on PVP when I first started too [long before my RZ days]). PW is actually MUCH better as a PVE server. Being that it's a crappy F2P/P2W game the PVP was HIGHLY unbalanced! Unlike other games, where PVP *really* means PVP and PVE *REALLY* means PVE, on PW when you're on a PVP server, you're STUCK in PVP. On PVE you can still actually chose PVE or PVP (chose to be white or blue name). That was one of the reasons I actually quit (besides being F2P/P2W). A few "sub-reasons" as follows: PW actually started to make me think I SUCKED at PVP (PW was my first MMO after all so I had no clue if I did or not), but alas, when I started playing other MMO games since quitting PW (official) I found out I'm actually QUITE GOOD @ PVP. That being said, it's a F2P-P2W game so, I wasn't really competing against other players, I was competing against their wallet! PW isn't PLAYER VS PLAYER it's more like players wallet VS players wallet!

All that being said, PW is REALLY trying to milk that cash cow, because unlike other MMO's, almost ALL of which have a "server transfer" feature or service available, PW did not. By the time I caught on to all this (and subsequently quit) there was NO way I was re-rolling another toon on a PVE server. All this being said, knowing about the server merge, and that ALL servers are now "PVE" I would actually consider going back to playing. I must say I was SUPER nerdraged about the people that had really big wallets (and probably little to NO ACTUAL skill) griefing the crap out of people like me who weren't willing to spend $50,000 on their TOON/ACCOUNT! MANY people in PW were flat out assholes, period (full stop). Moving ALL servers to be PVE was probably a VERY wise choice on their part! And don't get me wrong, I'm not a "carebear" by ANY means, but again, in PW if I have some assclown who dropped $20,000 on his toon, and has NO actual "skill" can still grief me, I can give the biggest fuck you and go back to blue name! Then IDIOTS like that literally spent all that money to "become badass" for NOTHING (and serves 'em right)! So I could say, PW would be worth it's PVE content, but PVP is a fucking JOKE! If you want real PVP - it will not be found on PW! Unless of course you want to drop $100,000 on your toon >.>

Maybe I'll re-download the client and check out this new "server merge" they made a PvE server. If not for anything else, for a brief nostalgic moment...
