An Opinion of the Issues that Plagues Dragon Server of PW PH



Lately, Dragon server (my home server) has been plagued by so many intrigues and rumors that it not only affect the persons involved, but the whole community itself. A lot of people have expressed dissatisfaction from the way things are going, some of them are leaving for another game. It can't be help, since the situation is really disheartening. But whose to blame?

On the natural order of things, Clans rise and inevitably fall. If it's their time, just let them be. After all, Perfect World isn't just about TW. there's a lot of things to do aside from that.

But the more important question is, during their time, what have they contributed to the game? Or are they the one to further funnel the source of dissatisfaction among the players?

Throwing out accusations without any solid evidence (despite the overwhelming suggestiveness of the situation) might just be discarded as plain bitterness and bickering. Albeit we see some things happen that is hard to explain, isn't it always best to probe first and ask before assuming things?

Problem is, people are being labeled before they are even judged. It doesn't really matter how clean one does things, when he's already labeled a cheater, he will always be a cheater in the eyes of everyone. Sad, but true... People have this notion to label and group things around them, and their opinion about them, is determined by the which group they belonged to.

Doesn't really matter how one's Items are acquired, legally or illegally, but what matters is at the end of the day, how we feel about ourselves. Am I feeling this way because I think there is injustice happening or am I doing this because I am envious of the things that they have?

Fact is, Life is really never fair, and even Online games are no exception. Imbalance will always exist, because some people have more resources at their disposal. And most of the time, game handlers never really cared as long as the game brings profit in. Just like in any other business, it's all about the money.

What we can do is work on what we have, although it's disappointing sometimes that we toil and labor hunting materials for our equipments, while others get theirs in a snap of a finger. When these moments pass us, what we can always look at is our reason for playing. Surely, everyone has different reasons, why they still stay despite of it all. I mean, one can just easily give up everything and walk away when we had enough, but why are we still here? Is it because we've already invested so much in the game? Or is it because our friends are still here? Or is it because we still hope that the game will eventually be better? Whatever your reason is, its only for you to know, after all, each game is meant to be enjoyed, and not to further stress us out...

Sure having godly equipments eats a chunk out of our game experience, but It's not the end all be all of every game.

For me, the Pride that comes from Integrity is something more fulfilling from the one that comes from being powerful, wealthy and strong. Godly equipments have their price tags, but the Respect you earn from other players is priceless.
