Another beautiful year of PWI comes to a close, and to celebrate this joyous occasion, we are pulling out all the stops to make this the best PWI anniversary of all time!     First off, if I may, I would like to direct you to the PWI Fan Content page (Contests Tab), where dozens of aspiring artists have put their hearts to canvas in showing exactly how much their characters mean to them. Seriously, when one talks about creatively passionate communities, PWI has to be at the very top of the list.   But moving on to the anniversary itself, nothing makes us happier than to show our appreciation for the awesome players that populate Perfect World, and to this end we'd like to announce that this year's anniversary gifts are the best we've offered yet!     To claim your prize(s), simply head on over to the Anniversary Page, located here!    

Marmot Style: Given to all Players

Note: The Anniversary Page says that you'll be receiving the "Swag Seal". In reality you'll be getting the "Elite Expedition Pack" which is the same item, but just named differently. It will be renamed to "Swag Seal" during maintenance tomorrow night!

Anniversary Mount: Given to One-Year Veterans

Anniversary Fashion: Given to Two-Year Veterans

Purple Fox: Given to Three-Year Veterans

And our newest anniversary gift...

Doom's Stare: Given to Four-Year Veterans

    Territory Map Reset   So is everyone ready for Season 3? Well we hope so, because the map is resetting on 9/11/2012 during maintenance! After this happens, the map will be completely free from ownership once again, meaning that dozens of factions big and small will be vying for map dominance with a frenzy that is rarely seen in this world.   Territory Wars Season 2 officially ended on 8/14/2012, and the victorious factions are as follows:   West Coast

• Heavens Tear: GoldDigrz Faction (22 Territories held)
• Sanctuary: Vindicate Faction (16 Territories held)*
• Lost City: Insurrect Faction (26 Territories held)
• Archosaur: RogueXXX Faction (17 Territories held)

  East Coast

• Harshlands: Crimson Faction (23 Territories held)
• Raging Tide: Vicious Faction (24 Territories held)*
• Dreamweaver: Regenesis Faction (11 Territories held)*

  Europe

• Lothranis: Reign Faction (17 Territories held)
• Momaganon: Requiem Faction (23 Territories held)

  * Denotes repeat Territory War winners     Every member of these Territory War winning factions will be sent an extra special prize within the next two weeks! What is this prize? Few know, but there are rumors that it is extremely... colorful.     So again, we would love to thank all of you, the PWI players, for continuing to make this game one of the most beloved, enjoyable experiences that the MMO landscape has to offer. We hope you enjoy the prizes and events, and we'll be looking to kick it up yet another notch next year, which according to our research, should involve either wood or silverware.   Happy Anniversary, and we'll see you in-game!   Take care of each other!   -The PWI Team
