Is PW a dead game?

[Sᴡoosh]

R3D23R0, I do not mean the sad attempts of PWRD to sell PWI to it's investors, I mean the state of the game as the players see it. Capital death != game death. But I am beginning to believe that you actually either can't or don't want to understand me

Well, I don't mind if you believe that, as long as it makes you happy. No it's not dead by a long shot, from the players' standpoint. There's still a ton of people competing in events, clamoring for t3 and r9 refines, and I'm starting to see more lower level players around again. One thing that does have me concerned is the recent transition to arc on the site. They seem to be distancing themselves from the 'Perfect World' name and concentrating more on Arc now. They could be transitioning in such a way that it doesn't seem that bad when they let the flagship sink. So who knows. Such is the trend in gaming companies these days.

yo swoosh,
from all the informations i could gather, i ensure you pwi do have a future

they got back archosaur studios to dev for them,
also pwi company itself merged with Arcgames and their structure really really improved in last month

they made dev choices that do not imply heavy cashing for latest content updates (r9r3 patch had been a real cash sinkhole, latest content, new skills card system can be farmed with dailies)

they made in-game botting legal, giving all the players opportunity to have a decent money income. (in game bot is still no-match for pgrind, but at least pgrind users now wont get banned\wiped by gms)

also i tried other mmos, recently gw2, and for the endgame pvp, i still prefer pw over that.
consider that mmorpgs genre is kinda dieing, what you can play now are f2ps or gw2\ff14, and for the f2p mmorpgs pwi is still the best one available.

lawl they just released in pwch a major expansion called PERFECT WORLD 2, whit 1 new race, 2 new classes
they upgraded the game engine also,

so i believe this game does have at least more 3-4 years sure future

but still the game balance is waaaay so ****** up lots of players are quitting or thinking to quit

Perfect World 2 won't save anything.

why u think pwi is dead? because your bots are not useful anymore?! yea i know since they added in-game bot and that earning time activity on elitepvpers went down and not because pwi is dying just cause of game updates and soon, at next expansion, all DQs items will be sell for 1 coin at NPC. PWI cant be hacked or not yet but those bots are not usefull anymore..i know that you are crying cause your little "business" is down. U must come with something new if u want a good activity on elitepvpers...

[Sᴡoosh]

For some reason people still buy bots though The ingame bot actually boosted my sales by a large amount. Earning time is what brought it down again.

I am not crying, I am hoping that it finally dies completely so I can leave for greener pastures. The game deserves to die, it was fun while it lasted.

belive me i have a friend who works for pwi staff and he told me that they make huge amount of money from players after they added those cards and in-game bot. U know before those things they were thinking to merge some servers like Morai but now everything is k

[Sᴡoosh]

The amount of income for PWE doesn't indicate the health of perfect world. In contrary - this just confirms that they are milking the cash cow for as long as they can before they shoot it.
