    Wedding Ceremony System

    Now you can plan and take part in a new wedding ceremony for your spouse to be! The PWI marriage has been fully upgraded so that couples will now be able to celebrate their marriage via a brand new ceremony in a beautiful cathedral.

    After the civil union occurs in West Archosaur, the bride and groom will then be prompted to begin preparations for their wedding ceremony; the newlyweds will have to choose a date and time when the cathedral is available, and they will be able to create dozens of invitations for all of their most loved friends and faction-mates.

    On the date of the ceremony, just before it starts, all guests will be able to enter the venue and appreciate the architecture of the structure while the groom-to-be decides just how extravagant he would like the ceremony to be—does he want flower arrangements, special lighting, or a full choir? How about a dozen decorated soldiers to line the red carpet, raising their sabres in honor of the matrimony?

    Once these preparations are made, the wedding ceremony begins. Vows are repeated, promises are made, and rings are exchanged.

    And this is where the real fun begins: The wedding activities! No longer are the bride and groom the only characters who get special quests with special rewards. In this ceremony, the guests are encouraged to participate to earn prizes both for themselves and for the newlyweds. These wedding activities include cutting the cake, serving champagne, catching the bouquet, and defending the church from a monster assault. Yes, you read that correctly, a monster assault.

    As guests partake in these activities, they will be accumulating contribution points, which, at the end of the hour-long ceremony, will be used to determine the prize level of items given to the bride and groom. The guest contributors themselves will also receive different prizes based on the amount of contribution points they’ve accumulated, so the newlyweds will get to see which of the guests really cares about their love.

    Couples who are already married can each purchase a Banquet Reservation from the Boutique, squad up, and reserve a Banquet date.

    Some things to note:
    1. Players must be married (to each other) for the Banquet Reservation to work.
    2. If the registration times are all filled up, just wait until the next available week appears.
    3. Players must be in a squad with their significant other.
    4. There is a contribution quest during the Banquet ceremony. A Jealous Ex will arrive and try to stop you from having your ceremony. Make sure you are equipped to fight him and his friends off!



    Oh and don't forget, Wedding Packs are on sale until August 11th at 1AM server time!



    Jungle Ruins

    Jungle Ruins is an exciting new event involving dungeon races, games of chance, and NPC hunts! This weekly event will include lots of prizes and fun for everyone involved, assuming you complete its various challenges.. Look for it every Tuesday!


    Celestial Tiger Event

    This is a brand new server-wide event! Four Celestial Tigers have issued a challenge, and you all must work together to defeat them. Earn event contribution through various ways, including fighting minions, turning in gems, harvesting special herbs, and run special event quests given by the elders the major cities!
    Players will be rewarded based on their level of contribution. There are multiple levels of prizes; the highest will be given to the top representative of each class, and the lowest will be given to all players who reach at least a certain fixed amount of contribution.

    Look for this event every Monday!

    Network Status and Frame Rate

    You can now see exactly how good your server response time is in milliseconds (ms) as well as how high your frame rate while the game is running. These can be seen simply by mousing over the “System†button.


    New Item-link function

    Shift+Click is here! Want to show your guildies the gear mold that you just acquired in FB89? Maybe you’d you just bought a new mount and you’d like to advertise your old one on World Chat to try to make some of your coins back. You can now link items in all forms of chat for all players to see gear tooltips and stats.


    Bidding Hall

    Introducing a new function in the PWI Boutique—the Bidding Hall! By pressing “o†and clicking on the hammer icon in the top right corner of the Boutique window, you will access the new “Bidding Hallâ€. At a certain time every day, rare items to be bid on will be shown, and players will then be able to bid on these items using Gold. Bidding on the item will end when either the highest bid has been up for 15 minutes, or when the current day’s bidding period ends.


    Territory War Rules Change

    Territory Wars… Territory Wars have changed. We are revamping the TW system to make it more competitive, and to make the rewards more exciting and unique.


    1. The bidding process will no longer be announced; all bids will now be secret bids, and faction leaders will only be able to make a single bid each. The highest secret bid wins that faction the opportunity to attack the territory at the scheduled time.

    2. Bids will no longer be refunded. If your bid was not high enough to win, the coins involved will be lost. This should minimize the occurrence of dishonest or fake bids.

    3. The TW victor no longer receives any part of the winning bid. This should also minimize the occurrence of dishonest or fake bids.

    4. Rewards for holding territories will no longer be coin-based. Instead, the rewards will be a combination of Mirage Celestones and the chance of being sent the Medal of Glory, an item necessary for attaining Rank IX gear. This Rank IX gear is still in development, and should be available in the near future. One Medal of Glory will be sent to one of the 47 territories at random each week. Rewards are as follows:
    o Tier 1 Territory: 300 Mirage Celestones + Chance of being sent Medal of Glory
    o Tier 2 Territory: 200 Mirage Celestones + Chance of being sent Medal of Glory
    o Tier 3 Territory: 150 Mirage Celestones + Chance of being sent Medal of Glory

    With these new changes, we believe Territory Wars will become a more fun and competitive activity, with less opportunity for exploitation, and the chance to get some of the most powerful items in the game!
