PWAdmin 6 Free — free edition

alexdnepro 1 min read v6.0

PWAdmin 6 Free is the free edition of the monitoring and management system for Perfect World servers. It has the same server part and the same interface as the full version: watch your server, start and stop processes and instances, make backups and work with players at no cost.

PWAdmin 6 Free main window

What you get for free

Monitoring

CPU, memory and disk load, online and GMs in the new main window with charts and an event log. The Server information window shows the machine, the elements.data and tasks.data versions and the listening ports.

Server management

Starting and stopping the server and instances, auto-start, a custom start and stop order, backups of the database and the whole server. All of this runs as background jobs on the server, with progress, a log and history. Process logs open from the client, and search runs over the whole file on the server.

Background jobs

Players

  • viewing characters (JSON view included), accounts, clans and chat;
  • bans, mutes, kicks, GM rights;
  • gold to an account and dividends;
  • account password and data changes, account creation;
  • deleting and renaming characters;
  • the item generator and server rates.

Viewing a character

Everything new in 6.0 under the hood

A 64-bit client with High DPI support, packet schemas for any server version without a rebuild, elements.data and tasks.data read by the server part, one-button updates of the client and the server part, a master password for the config.

Full version only

  • Changing characters: in Free the editor is view only. Also restoring a character from a copy, mail, the account storehouse, the player shop, VIP, sending items, level changes.
  • Gold and mail to everyone online, to a clan, by unique IPs; chat announcements and private messages.
  • Removing members from a clan and assigning ranks.
  • Changing territories: owner, battles and bids.
  • Item searches across the whole database, with reports.
  • Server users with separate rights (Free has one administrator).
  • Nodes: processes on several machines.
  • The console in Server management and handling other processes.

Both editions use the same server part. To move to the full version, just install the full client: your server and settings stay as they are. More about the full PWAdmin 6 →
