I really actually think that they don’t want anyone to play the game anymore.
The admins just gave up trying.
Really sad.
They don’t know what the game means to some players
If they have the lore, than why dont just try to slowly reveal it? Ok. It is too hard for them. Well, can they just send a Google docks with all lore so we can read it at least?
Advertise ourselves until no motivation? They aren’t even running a real content creator program (Which really could advertise the game), buuuuut as said earlier they are too lazy to manage that simple stuff. So the game has came to the end phase, I’d like to call it “Last cents” which means they are going to try to get much money as possible from the players until they give up on the game (Totally). They did give up already, but this would mean those lazy high ranks won’t even open the forums, even better, the game.
Last summer I think, I wrote bunch of posts what will happen to the game in the future. And I am pretty sure I was right, seeing the current situation / phase of the game is chaotic.
I am 100% certain if you are seen with a duped or hacked item you will get a ban.
The chances aren’t so high but none the less. Trading them is where most are caught out, especially if another player reports the player(s) involved.
In many ways it’s safer to buy from PWE cos no one will see!
It’s a bit off topic but it really makes me mad that sellers can put a hacked item up for sale. Take a common pick axe jack - infinite durability. It would be easy to add a few lines of code that check the level and reject the item if too high . It could add a warning and permanent marker to a player’s account - strike one and all that…
if you are seen with a hacked item by a moderator what would happen is get asked to hand it over or get a 30 days ban that won’t even expand to permanent, but having duplicated items that are literally everywhere even if you know it or not will not get you banned even if you willingly took them from a duplicator because they aren’t really easy to track and the developers don’t even care anymore
However the game has been awash with bans, at one time i used to be one of those that thought “what aren’t you telling us? Or there’s more to this…” Now, I think there have been some false bans given out, end of. Especially as not so long ago PW said that this would no longer happen - which means it must have been , otherwise why say it?
As far as i know this was about the last communication the game had with players!
I know of one case in which a player was banned for simply being in the same world. - I don’t know if it’s been lifted but nonetheless it was given … quite frankly that’s a nonsense
The game itself can even send you to any world . It’s not about the world and it never should be it’s about the actions of individual(s) in them
I’m not holding back when I say the moderation in PW is a joke - it’s indefensible . Players spend REAL money in it which they use to buy stuff with or indirectly trade for to be scammed and not even get it back. Duping costs players too. Both of which I’ve seen first hand in my own family!
In the last few months I doubt anyone has racked up more game time than me (I’m actually trying to cut it down ). I rarely go to gatherings in worlds anymore in fear of being banned. Yet I haven’t seen a moderator since the summer
