Perfect World

[Silverjinx18]

Anyone play this game?

-----

Server: Heaven's Tear

GLG - NRGLG, NRVeno
Jessifer - Novaeth
!K_A! - KingAmazon
Senesia - Senesia
Silverjinx - Kiory
Spector - wOrdd
Wallow - Treadnought

[D3V]

Never heard of it.

[Senesia]

I recall seeing some advertisements of it in some Chinese site. Do you play it? How is it?

[Silverjinx18]

Yeah I'm trying to switch servers right now cause I have other friends on a different server. It's GREAT! It seems like WOW...but it's free...

[WetWired]

How to they make money, then? Do they sell extras for cash or something?

[Silverjinx18]

They sell something...some type of "special" curency for "special" things, but it's worth playing :) It's not Sh*(y looking or anything.

[Senesia]

So they have those special currency (that you purchase using credit card) which allows you to buy unique looking clothings or whatnot that cannot be acquired in any other way. Reminds me of Maplestory..
How's the population, do a lot of people play it? How viable is it to go solo in the game?

[Silverjinx18]

You really should just test it all out yourself. I've only started playing it. It's a very solo friendly game...I've heared that if you like playing in group then you'll like this game and if you like playing solo you'll like this game more...

pwi.perfectworld.com

[!King_Amazon!]

I'll likely check it out. What server would you suggest playing on?

[Grav]

Never heard of it.

[Silverjinx18]

I'm on the lost city server and the ... it's dream something...but it doesn't matter because you can have as many characters as you want and you can have characters in each server.

[Goodlookinguy]

This is a freaky coincidence, I just made a thread in another forum asking for people to come join me. I started playing when it was in beta months ago. I'm actually playing it right now.

I'm on the Heaven's Tear server under the username NRGLG.

------------
Edit: Just so you know, I'm not an extremely high level because I didn't play for months during my schooling. Since getting out, I started playing again. And here is a picture to accompany it.

[Lenny]

Oooh! Another one's popped out of the woodwork again. :)

---

What's the general story behind it? What's the setting, etc?

[Goodlookinguy]

What's the general story behind it? What's the setting, etc?


Aw, not sure. I never really payed any attention to story. There are no guns, but there are ranged weapons and bows. There are a few Races, Genies (which are more like fairies | They help you fight), Pets, Land Mounts, Flying, Swimming, True Form Transforming, and awesome Pandas.

[Senesia]

I'm on the lost city server and the ... it's dream something...but it doesn't matter because you can have as many characters as you want and you can have characters in each server.

But you're trying to switch server right? If we are joining now, we'd probably prefer starting in a server with some other forum members.

[Silverjinx18]

I'm probably going to create a character for each server.

[Jessifer]

Sounds interesting...I'll check it out.

[Senesia]

I made an archer on Heaven's Tear. Haven't tried the game out though, I got timed out and couldn't log back in.
I'll try again tonight.

[Jessifer]

I'm in the process of installing it now.

I've been reading through the beginners guide, and noticed that the Marriage Feature only allows marriage between a male and female.

That's sad. :(

[Goodlookinguy]

That's unusual. Well, whisper if you get on. I'll probably be on for another 3-4 hours.

To whisper, go into the left bottom text box and type
/NRGLG (Your message goes here. Make sure there is a space between /NRGLG and your message)

[!King_Amazon!]

I'll be making a character on Heaven's Tear as well. Sometime tonight, likely.

[Silverjinx18]

Cool I'm sticking with the dream server, but I'll make an aditional character for heaven's tear.

[Sum Yung Guy]

I've been reading through the beginners guide, and noticed that the Marriage Feature only allows marriage between a male and female.

That's sad. :(

That is because the setting of this game is not on Earth. It takes place in a magical, wonderful land of heterosexuals.

[Wallow]

Yea, I was kinda put off by the main page with the fairy and the woman devil...

[Jessifer]

I'll create a character on Heaven's Tear as well.

[Goodlookinguy]

Pussy, that is all.

----------------------
Create characters in Heaven's Tear and join me! I'm level 40 (41 in a few minutes).

Name: NRGLG
Race: Barbarian - Panda

[D3V]

I'll create a character on Heaven's Tear as well.

That's a funny server name.

[Jessifer]

I made a Venomancer named Novaeth.

[Senesia]

Senesia, Archer in Heaven's Tear.

[Chruser]

This is like déjà vu all over again.

[D3V]

My perfect world would consist of the no-pants-party like on Harold and Kumar.

[Silverjinx18]

I'm a venomancer named Kiory if you guys want to look me up (I'm only lvl 3 right now though :( )

[Lenny]

What on earth is a Venomancer?

Does anyone care to explain the classes to me?

[Goodlookinguy]

What on earth is a Venomancer?

Does anyone care to explain the classes to me?


No. Just play it.

[Jessifer]

I'll explain Venomancer, to the best of my abilities.

Actually, I'll quote the game:

"Evolved from the likes of serpents, foxes, and other crafty vermin, the Venomancer looks cute and seductive but packs a poisonous punch. Venomancers have the ability to control animals and take the form of a fox."

So...kinda like a Hunter and Druid combined? Only they don't use Ranged Weapons (except for wands), and use magic to attack. I'm not sure if they can attack in fox form yet...

A picture of my char!

[Senesia]

I think of Lenny as a wizard type person.

[Lenny]

I put on my wizard hat and robe... :rolleyes:

---

No. Just play it.

I love you too, Sparky.

[Senesia]

I never thought of that line being spoken with British accent..

[Jessifer]

My sister made an Archer on Perfect World. Heh...

[Lenny]

English accent...

Britain is England, Wales, N. Ireland and Scotland - without even going into local accents, people from each of the four countries sound different.

[Senesia]

So which of those do you fit in?
And, what class are you going to play?

[!King_Amazon!]

I'm playing KingAmazon, archer on Heaven's Tear

[Senesia]

Male Archer?! I think they look terrible. Horrifying.

[Lenny]

One would assume that an English accent implies a citizen of England. However, I thought I'd buck the trend and become a citizen of Russia instead, simple so I could fuck with people's minds. ;)

---

Haven't the foggiest which class - I've been too busy to look at the website, I can't play the game until I get home so there's no point in downloading it yet, and I just can't get my head around all the helpful posts in this thread that explain the various classes.

[!King_Amazon!]

Mine doesn't look bad, I customized him.

[Jessifer]

Okay, okay. Classes. These descriptions are taken directly from the game.

First off, there are three Races: Human, Untamed, and Winged Elf.


Humans have Blademasters and Wizards as their classes.

Blademaster:
Righteousness, justice, courage and outstanding combat skill- this is the domain of a Blademaster. Specializing in melee combat, Blademasters must also master and harness their inner energy, called Chi, in order to channel the most devastating attacks.

Wizard:
Enthusiastic and passionate, wizards embody the principle of 'the best defense is a good offense,' utilizing the elements of Water, Fire, and Earth to attack enemies

Wizards have great damage potential but not much defense, so they do their best to keep their enemies at a distance.


Untamed have Barbarians and Venomancers as their classes (You also can't choose between male or female for them. Barbarians are male, and Venomancers female.)

Barbarians:
Barbarians evolved from tigers, lions, and other hunters (Side note: Although...since when were panda's considered hunters?). They are natural born melee warriors, very comfortable both taking hits and returning punishment. These fighters have plenty of powerful skills at their disposal, including the ability to take the form of a tiger.

Venomancers:
Evolved from the likes of serpents, foxes, and other crafty vermin (Side note: Apparently "bunnies" fall into that catagory...), the Venomancer looks cute and seductive but packs a poisonous punch. Venomancers have the ability to control animals and take the form of a fox.


And finally, Winged Elves have Archers and Clerics as their classes:

Archer:
Archers are both strong and agile, which makes them well suited for their role as guardians of the Winged Elves. Their heightened senses and steely temperament set them apart from other warriors, as does their choice of ranged weapons.

Cleric:
Their radiant glow emanates elegance, grace, and divinity. Clerics are masters of support and recovery spells. Though usually reliant on more combat oriented companions, a provoked Cleric's arsenal of metal elemental spells can stop enemies in their tracks.

[Jessifer]

Male archers can actually look quite fetching if you modify their appearance yourself.

[Thanatos]

quite fetching

Made me LOL IRL.

[Jessifer]

I'm happy to amuse you.

[Willkillforfood]

So this is a free game? It looks pretty good for being free! I need to look at more screenshots and shit before I invest time though.

[!King_Amazon!]

It's free, yes. And it isn't too bad, actually.

[Jessifer]

I got my fox form yesterday. Ain't she pretty?

I also included a couple of spell shots.

[Goodlookinguy]

Since you took a few shots of the game. I'll take some while I'm playing today, as well, and post them later tonight (well, it's morning for me right now).

[Skurai]

I have a female Venomancer, level 33. ;D
It's easy to trick guys into giving you items that way. :3

[!King_Amazon!]

I've tried adding a few of you guys as friends already, and it doesn't seem to work. I've tried multiple times in the past couple of days.

This game seems like it has potential, but like most asian MMORPGs it is clunky and hard to learn/play. I guess I'm just spoiled by WoW. Perfect World seems fun anyway.

In order for someone to be added as a friend, the person on the other side has to agree to it and must be playing at the very moment.

[Jessifer]

I'll get on it really quick if someone wants me to. I'm currently on a FP on WoW.

[!King_Amazon!]

WHY

That is retarded.

[Senesia]

I got bored. :(
Level 5..

[Goodlookinguy]

Level 5..


Do quests.

I love him, he's so cute! :love:

[Sum Yung Guy]

Thanks for lagging this thread jerk.

[Goodlookinguy]

Thanks for lagging this thread jerk.


Thanks for lagging my website jerk.

--------
I'm streaming 11-12 MB of pictures from my site. But don't they look so pretty?

[Sum Yung Guy]

Yea that game looks pretty good for a free MMO.

[Wallow]

I started a Barbarian on Heaven's Tear ---> Treadnought

[Skurai]

I think I'm going to start playing again.
Look for me, ok? I look for you too, guys! :D

[Goodlookinguy]

I think I'm going to start playing again.
Look for me, ok? I look for you too, guys! :D


Are you trying to ruin everything we find fun and want to do. You know what you're like? An annoying little brother. I think a portion of people here will agree with me. Whatever, it's cheese eating time.

[Grav]

And you're like the dorky awkward kid we want to push down the stairs.

[Goodlookinguy]

And you're like the dorky awkward kid we want to push down the stairs.


Except that I'm rather large and strong and would probably end up pushing you down.

[Senesia]

The high and mighty Grav.

Anyway, I'm still playing.. it's getting better, and I hope I'll gain a few more levels tonight..

[Jessifer]

I'm getting on now for a little bit. Novaeth.

[!King_Amazon!]

I'm bout to get on.

[Skurai]

Are you trying to ruin everything we find fun and want to do. You know what you're like? An annoying little brother. I think a portion of people here will agree with me. Whatever, it's cheese eating time.

Awww~
You see me as a Brother? :3
I always thought of you as a Big brother too! ^^

[Wallow]

You can't power-level on that game. The only fast way to gain exp is to do quests.

[!King_Amazon!]

Yeah, the difference between kill experience and quest experience is absurdly large. If you're a grinder, you'll hate this game.

[Senesia]

Hm.. just a question, if I "trashed" a solo mission, there's no way to reactivate it?

[!King_Amazon!]

I would assume you can just accept it from the NPC again.

[Senesia]

No.. I trashed one, and the option from the NPC was gone. I wanted to pick another monster, but then..

[!King_Amazon!]

Try contacting a GM then, I suppose.

[Jessifer]

I'm not sure if that friend invite worked last night, KA. Did it work for you?

[!King_Amazon!]

It did.

[Jessifer]

Hm...I looked at my friends list and no one had shown up on it. I had even clicked the "Add as friend" option.

[Skurai]

Yeah, the difference between kill experience and quest experience is absurdly large. If you're a grinder, you'll hate this game.

That's true. I usually go running around on MMO's solo-killing things and helping people who go by. The questing in PW was the only reason I got rid of it. :/

[-Spector-]

I started playing on Heaven's Tier... I think you can message me at wOrdd ... I think. I'm a human wizard/mage whatever.

[Senesia]

I think only online ones show up, but I'm not too sure. I'm still getting used to all the weird layout and stuff.

[!King_Amazon!]

It baffles me how all asian MMORPGs are annoying to play like this one. There's nothing "easy" about the UI in any way. It's horrible.

[Skurai]

I'm waiting for "The World" to come out.
The games and shows made it look easy, other then figured out the 1000 button combinations to make the character express itself...

[WetWired]

"The World," as portrayed in the .hack series would be a boring grind-fest if things hadn't gone wrong.

[Skurai]

All they have to do is change a few things, like more questing, and more event battles.
And, of course, the ability to express emotion better. I want it to be the way the event scenes made it look.

[Goodlookinguy]

Hey people, I'm handing around Plume City with my new character who I named wrongly as NRVeno, but is actually an archer. Originally I was going to have a Venomancer. Anyways, I'm hanging around there. So if you want to meet me, you can meet NRGLG and NRVeno all at once. I'm using two computers and accounts. Because in reality, NRVeno is just a bank for my crap. However, I want to level it up a little.

[Lenny]

Yeah, the difference between kill experience and quest experience is absurdly large. If you're a grinder, you'll hate this game.


Cool - I wouldn't say I dislike grinding, I just don't do it.

---

As for my class (answering an earlier question), I'll probably go for Wizard or Archer - I prefer ranged attacks to close and personal.

[Senesia]

Not even Lv 40 and already made a new character? What's wrong with you!

Lenny, like I said.. I see you as a wizard type person. But since you're a bird, you might want to have wings, so Cleric would work too.

[Goodlookinguy]

Not even Lv 40 and already made a new character? What's wrong with you!


I'm level 48.

My Archer is level 8, will be 10-11 in an hour. (My Archer is a Bank and a Low-level Materials Gatherer)

[Lenny]

Lenny, like I said.. I see you as a wizard type person. But since you're a bird, you might want to have wings, so Cleric would work too.


A flightless bird, don't forget. ;)

[Senesia]

I'm level 48.

My Archer is level 8, will be 10-11 in an hour. (My Archer is a Bank and a Low-level Materials Gatherer)

Ah okay. It's annoying, the inventory and safe spaces are filled up so quickly, and I don't want to spend money on it. (Even if I do, I can imagine it being filled up in just another day or so)

[Wallow]

GLG, how long have you played this game? I'm barely lvl 12...

[Jessifer]

Yeah, I'm constantly having to go back and forth to sell stuff...

I may make a Cleric to see what that's like.

[Goodlookinguy]

GLG, how long have you played this game? I'm barely lvl 12...


Well, I started with the beta in 2008. Then because of school, I forced myself not to play for months. Then when I finished school, I started playing the now non-beta version of the game. And I've been playing for 3-weeks.

--------------------
Sorry, for once there is no server maintenance.

[-Spector-]

I'm a level 10 wizard now... not a bad game to kill some time

[Wallow]

Yea, it's pretty good. I have to make everyone invisible on Archosaur to avoid the lag XD

[Senesia]

It has become a grind for me.. when I need to kite enemies, it just gets annoying. And with all those loots and small inventory..

[Goodlookinguy]

It has become a grind for me.. when I need to kite enemies, it just gets annoying. And with all those loots and small inventory..


Buy a Super Inventory Stone, it helps out a lot.

[Senesia]

With what, 9 gold?

[Wallow]

Hey GLG, did you pay real money for your Manta Ray?

[Goodlookinguy]

With what, 9 gold?


Yes. Actually, my brother bought this for me when I started the game. He actually bought it with real money he'd put in. My brother is level 74 I think.


Hey GLG, did you pay real money for your Manta Ray?


Real money from someone else's pocket with my in-game money. It's only about 1.5 mil.

[Senesia]

So many people during the weekend.. I can't even hunt werewolf archer and longhorn whatever..

[kyeruu]

i've been playing that game since shit ages, but i quit a few days later xD

[Jessifer]

How much are Super Inventory Stones, anyway?

Also, I keep on forgetting to feed my pet.

[Senesia]

The once and for all inventory stone which upgrades your inventory to 64 slots is 9 gold.
Super safe stone which upgrades your safe slots to 80 slots is what, 12 gold?

[Lenny]

Paying for in-game gold with money out of your own pocket?! I don't care if it's Barack Obama's money, it's still...strange.

---

On average, how much gold can you collect in a standard hour of farming?

[Goodlookinguy]

Paying for in-game gold with money out of your own pocket?! I don't care if it's Barack Obama's money, it's still...strange.


Well, it can go one of two ways. I buy real money with in-game money. If you choose, you can put your real money in for in-game money. I think I may have phrased what I'd written a little oddly.

On average, how much gold can you collect in a standard hour of farming?


You don't collect gold, you collect the in-game money known as "zen"(I think). On average, as a new player, 2000-10000 or so. My level can get anywhere from 10000-200000. I've gotten 190000 in 50minutes of grinding one time not long ago. When you get into levels 70-100, you become a millionaire.

[Lenny]

Gold, zen, bottle caps - they're all the same thing...

Would you prefer me to phrase it as "in-game currency" in the future?

[Goodlookinguy]

Gold, zen, bottle caps - they're all the same thing...

Would you prefer me to phrase it as "in-game currency" in the future?


I wasn't trying to correct you. I meant, that thought you'd taken what I'd written the wrong way because of how I phrased. I thought that you'd taken it the exact opposite of what I'd written.

[Jessifer]

level 100...geeze. How long does it take a person to get to that level? Because so far from what I've seen...we don't level very fast.

[Senesia]

What level are you now? I'm wondering if someone could do FB19 with me..

[Goodlookinguy]

What level are you now? I'm wondering if someone could do FB19 with me..


I could get a good group together from my faction to come with me and help do FB19. Just make sure to whisper me. I'll be on in 20-minutes or so.

[Senesia]

Nah, I'm at work right now.. I won't be able to play for another, 9 hours.

[-Spector-]

How long are your shifts?

[Lenny]

The client is ever-so-slowly downloading, so I should be joining you all tomorrow.

Make that an hour and a half.

The character is called "dukeofzelaron" (Lenny was taken, lenny1882 is my username and I can't use that apparently, Lennis was taken, so I thought "Fuck it, I'll do some advertising whilst I'm at it").

Heaven's Tear server, right?

[-Spector-]

That's where the most people from zel seem to be, though Ive yet to whisper anyone..

Someone should edit the initial post and list our contact names! =D

[Senesia]

Usually 8 hours. But that doesn't mean I would start playing games immediately the moment I arrive home..

And yes Lenny, Heaven's Tear.

[Lenny]

Someone should edit the initial post and list our contact names! =D


If everyone PM's them my way, I'll not only edit the first post, but I'll also add you when I get playing! Cool, huh?

[!King_Amazon!]

I think my character's name is KingAmazon

[Goodlookinguy]

My characters name is NRGLG and NRVeno. I may have more later.

----
Also, do you see my sig? It will now tell you when I'm on and when I'm not and what I'm doing. So refer to it when you want to know if you can catch me on the game.

And if, for some reason, my website screws up and doesn't load up the picture. Go here to check the status. This is where the image is pulling data from. http://nrgs.org/status.txt

Just wondering, who actually plays actively?

[Jessifer]

I haven't played in a few days. I plan to over my three-day weekend coming up.

[!King_Amazon!]

I haven't played in like a week. The general annoyance of the UI makes me not want to play, or rather it makes me choose WoW over Perfect World.

[Senesia]

But PW is free..!
I don't care much about the UI after awhile. I just kill stuff now.

[!King_Amazon!]

Perfect World is free, but I already pay for WoW, and I'm not going to leave WoW for Perfect World. Perfect World is there for when I get bored of WoW.

[Senesia]

Oh, I didn't know you are still paying for WoW. Okay, that's understandable.
What about RO though? If Zelaron has it own RO server, will you play?

[!King_Amazon!]

A Zelaron RO server was my idea, of course I'd play. I love RO.

[Senesia]

Regardless...

Kingy?! Arr Oh Eff Ell!

Turns out the client dislikes downloading quickly. Tomorrow will my day of triumph! It better be a good game after all this hassle...

[Wallow]

I had to download it twice because I accidentally quit the installation =/

What are everyones' usernames on Heaven's Tear? I keep on forgetting to add them.

Edit: ahh, didn't notice the first post

It's on the first post.

The leader of my faction recently left, and I log in today to find he put me in charge. Now, it's only a green faction, but it's decently large. Any advice?

Good incentive to play the game?

Really though, unless you have lots of money and lots of respect, being a leader is worthless.

[Lenny]

God damn I feel dirty.

So dirty I'm not even going to think about putting my character name into the first post.

That was a waste of 2.5gb of bandwidth.

[!King_Amazon!]

I got on last night for about 10 minutes and then realized I would be more entertained if I went to bed.

[Goodlookinguy]

God damn I feel dirty.

So dirty I'm not even going to think about putting my character name into the first post.

Lenny, what is your problem? The game is great, it just takes a certain amount of time to get used to it. If you put things aside without giving them a fair chance, how will you ever know what the game is really like? Up in the higher levels the game gets better. Lower levels sucked, for me anyways. And really that was because I didn't know how to play. The UI can be a little overwhelming at first too, but you get used to how it is after a while.

And if I did get you right, I hope you try it again. Oh, and if it isn't about what I wrote above and instead of about the all of the catshops and idiots constantly dueling and chattering in town. Well, I ignore them for the most part. Except that I do become a catshop when I'm sleeping or not playing, quite a bit.

Now, I have to get back to my level 12 Archer and possible make another new character for no reason.

[Lenny]

I've washed and washed and washed and I still can't get the feeling of being dirty out of my system. I shudder to think what it's done to my computer. :(

[Senesia]

Why did you feel dirty..

[Lenny]

Because I played it for about an hour.

The UI was horrible, the mechanics felt clunky, and the game as a whole was an absolute waste of time and effort.

I could probably program better in a weekend. ;)

Ha, ha, yeah right.

The UI is great if you get used to it. One hour is not nearly enough time to get used to a game like this. It's too bad that you're so impatient that you couldn't just sit down and play it for a longer period of time to give it a fighting chance. I really can't stand people like you who judge a game when they've barely even played it. You're being like the guy who rights reviews on games he's read reviews about.

If you have to "get used to it", the UI is not great. That's kind of a given. It's tolerable at best.

I love the UI. I think it was made with intention of ease, but can be, like I said earlier, a little overwhelming at first. Once you do "get used to it," it is really nice and convenient.

[Wallow]

Ahh suck it up. It's not a bad game if you get used to the UI :rolleyes:

[Lenny]

The whole definition of a good UI is a UI which is simple and easy to use from the word "go". If it takes people a while to get used to it, then there's less chance that they'll come back and actually learn how to use it, in which case the company who created the product will lose a lot of money.

A UI can make or break a program. Surely you know this?

GLG you should program a better UI.....

I like the UI a lot. I honestly couldn't do any better.

Story Time!

Wallow, Guy 1, Guy 2, and Myself are the characters.

So we're going through a dungeon which I can take out by myself with a cleric. However, we got Guy 1, who is really sucky at being a cleric and always wants to attack instead of heal people. Then we got Guy 2, who just complains a lot. Then we have Wallow who was being Leroy Jenkins. And me who was trying to just get through it and isn't being healed because Guy 1 is a freakin' retard not healing people. But instead letting people die and then revives them forcing us to lose XP. Right before the boss Wallow has to apparently get off his computer wasting 20-minutes of everyones time and causing a massive strife among the faction. I was planning on kicking the guy who kept backtalking me, but instead I simply asked my brother about how Guy 1 plays. And he said that he does exactly what I said he does. My brother is kinda annoyed by Guy 1 too, because he doesn't heal people like he's supposed to. Anyways, the moral of the story is I want to kill Wallow. And I wanted to rant, because I'm annoyed at Wallow and the guy who was provoking me, who I really want to kick and plan to if he backtalks me anymore.

Okay, I'm done ranting. Seriously though, damn you Wallow. Don't make me have to kick you to stop artarded drama in the faction.

If you play this game, don't act like any of the above besides me. In fact, these are your primary functions.

Clerics: Heal people, don't tank, don't take on places alone and don't let people die.
Venomancers: Suck it you cheapscapes
Archers: Bunch of pansies, but stay back
Barbarians: Go on and attack until higher levels where you need to tank
Wizards: Faggots, stop trying to act cool, you suck and you know it
Blademasters: Go on and attack, attack, attack, don't tank.

Okay, now play and don't be a faggot.

UPDATE: Mentioned faggots have left the faction by choice! Yay, that's a win for me!

[Skurai]

If you insist.

[Lenny]

I must say that story left me in tears! The characterisation was completely believable, the moral choices made me question me own life and the plot... you should win an Oscar! The clearly defined beginning lead to a surprising middle and, through some masterful twists and turns, left us with an entirely unexpected, but completely satisfying, conclusion. Sir, I am in awe!

I never knew that Perfect World could be such an inspiration to today's youth. I feel ashamed that I gave up on something that so obviously plants the seeds of imagination in the younger generations and persuades them to write about their experiences.

I can't help but laugh at all of this. It reminds me too much of the NFF.

Anyways, I really wanted to just press on, and I think the lvl 73 was right about the other two members not knowing squat about running an fb, but like I had said 45 min. earlier, I had to get off at that time.

Unfortunately I still have two more years until my parents are off my tail, and yesterday my Dad was over my shoulder telling me to get off or else X|

So I guess it was irresponsibility on my part, just the factors you mentioned and that I got there 10 min. late contributed to the fb running slower than predicted.

So moral of the story: start fb's early in the day

And by the way I stopped playing my archer. Got annoyed that I can't really solo elite mob. Started a Veno.

[-Spector-]

I now get an error while starting it up. :(

[Jessifer]

I like the Venomancers.

Actually, Clerics (I made one named Safiraah) don't seem to be so bad either, but would be more enjoyable in a party.

[Senesia]

This is weird.. I installed PWI on my netbook, and was able to run it several times, but it apparently stopped working. The .exe for both launcher and install won't work (I tried to reinstall). No error message either. The hourglass apeared and went. I tried restarting as well.

Other executable files work though.. just this two PW files.

[Senesia]

Ar nevermind. One of the IE8 updates were causing some problems. Now it's fixed. Really need to transfer all these mat and stuff.

[Senesia]

Triple post bah.
I'm really enjoying venomancer.. good money, low maintenance, requires basically no pot, very good choice for a starting class.
I am thinking of getting a herc. How long do you think it'll take? 20mil.. i'm 1/20 way there.

"Venomancers: Suck it you cheapscapes"

[Senesia]

Being a venomancer is better than running out of money then quit.

[Wallow]

Veno's are for pussies who don't know how to keep at a game, no offense Senesia.

[Senesia]

You guys probably say the same about Necromancers in Diablo 2 and Alchemists in Ragnarok Online.

No, veno's really are cheap. It's written all over the PWI forums. Veno's basically never get hurt and pretty much keep all money and don't have to pay for repairs. Then, there's a monster they can get that can PK someone in one shot. Veno's are definately cheap. However, I think that they are probably a good idea to combine with another character. What I mean by this is, create two accounts. Create veno on one and main character on another. Then use the veno to get money and give it to your main character. Anyways, I'm blabbering on. Later.

[Senesia]

Back in the days when a level 50 Necro could just solo 8 player hell game with BG IM, people were saying the same thing.
But anyway, I don't care. Venomancers can bring the prices of molds down if anything.

I'm getting a phoenix.

[Goodlookinguy]

I'm in PK mode right now, you guys should join me.

[Senesia]

In a PvE server, what kind of players can you kill? Is it limited to only players who are also in PK mode?

Yes, and if you're lucky, plenty of level 30 people try out PK for the first time. So it's fun to go after them. However, I went after someone who was my level or one level below me according to his equipment. And I won, then he sent higher levels out to get me, who failed. Then I got my leader to come out and kill them all, which he did and had fun doing. I loved it.

You're no McManus!

Ignoring the post before this one, I have new screenies!

I'll be off now.

[Jessifer]

I've stopped playing altogether.

And this is the first time I've seen your sig say you're not playing PW.

[Senesia]

I stopped as well.. Level 4x and can't take it anymore.
