@ Zwenze:

Yes, it is a game. As realistic as some people want it to be - it is still a game.

Why do I play a game? ... Because life is serious enough. In a game I want to be able to enjoy my life easier than in my real life, I want to have fun.

If "mining all day long" is fun for you, do that. Be happy. But it is not my choice. This time, houses were rewards for those who spend most time in mining. I seriously hope next time they are rewards for people who do something else with the most efforts... may it be a "social project of the government".
Let me guess, the gainer if that social project shall be you?  ;D

@ Zwenze:
At least I can't accuse you, Zwenze, that you don't know what roleplaying means, that you don't know what people play in this game. I know that would be wrong.
Sure, you are the best roleplayers and because of that you deserve another guild house   ;)
Roleplayers have a few times to often tried to govern me, to limit me and to tell me what maps I am allowed to enter and what not. Have told me where I am allowed to make a market and to what rules. And told me what people I am allowed to play with and what not. I went deaf on that ear.

If you are unhappy with the fact that mining alone is boring, that the economy in hydlaa isn't taking off and so on, post ideas how to improve the game. How to make it fun to gain tria. Moaning and frustrating devs and gms will bring us no where.

1. Devs put a lot of work into the settings, the art and the engine. GMs put a lot of work for moderating the players.
Devs/GMs are not perfect, planeshift isn't perfect, but they deserve appreciation. After 100+ posts i think its well understood that the guild house auctions aren't popular among players and there is room for improvement. Similar discussions turned up after nearly every auction. Get over it. Devs/GMs own the game and they can sell the guild houses for any price they seem to be appropriate, and they did a good job so far. But I think this thread is derailed and serves no purpose other then venting air because some players are not able to afford a house. If you want to roleplay owning a house, you need to roleplay buying a house which means you have to roleplay earning money in the first place.

2. This is a game. A special game, but still a game.
A relative of me got alzheimer's disease. Neither does she or her husband moan as much as you do. After all planeshift is a game - get over it. IT IS A GAME.

As a side note, when there was only a gold mine around the prices for houses where around 5 to 10 million with some cheap exceptions. Consider what people earn by mining today and do the math, that equals 13 million to 26 million tria today. The prices actually are lower then they were in the past.

Houses are a limited resource and as usual things are only considered worthy when they are rare. If devs would sell the houses for 50k, they have to sell to all players. Soon every house would be sold and there would be moaning why the devs sold the houses in the past so cheap.

3. Christmas is in three days.
Relax, cool down, visit your friends and relatives. All the beloved ones. Switch off the pc, take a walk in the snow. Enjoy conversations and dinners with friends.Thats what I am going to do.

And after you have logged of for a few days, had a good time, then log back and see ps as what it is: A game. A special Game. But no guarantee to get one house or two. A wiser fellow than myself once said, sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear, well, he eats you. Next auction will be yours.

Merry chrsitmas, happy new year and congratulations to the successful bidders.

P.s.: Any one in need of a white bearded dwarf to role play a dwarven santa claus?  ;D

Who says there is a rivalry between stone breakers and hammer wielders? Afaik there is no such thing as racism in hydlaa and as far as i know there is also  no rivalry between the two dwarven tribes.

And what speakes against an parade of dwarves wearing the same armor and items? Leather armor stays leather armor, even if worn by a hammer wielder or a stone breaker. Is there someone yealous for our cute parades?  ;D

I can remember how Silavur and I have overtaken two elder and well renowed guilds. We both had ambitious plans, sorry to see that SoV are in a sad state at the moment.

I hope better times will come for SoV, as that was allawys a nice guild, had nice members and was an enrichment to community.

* Zwenze also steps out of the Hammer.

I would like to thank all the hammers who served my loyal and who helped the guild to obtain the hall of the hammer. I have stepped down as keeper, but I will stay part of the guild.

The keeper stepped down, hail the keeper!

General Discussion / Re: Your favorite PS moments
« on: July 24, 2008, 06:54:37 pm »
Well, my favorite moment was one day after i got fooled. An other player told me there is a platinum mine at the bronze door.

The next day I run into a player who logged in after 2 years of abstinence. He re logged before my eyes and after some time of ooc chatting what has changed it turned out he had 3 platinum ores. He sold me a platinum ore that brought me much fun  :D

On the evening I went to kada els and roleplayed with a friend having discovered a platinum mine. Of course I had my ore on the table to make that role play more realistic :P Besides many other people who fell for this prank I even made the player who fooled me believing his own prank.

When I read the logs of that, i even crack up today. There have been many high lights while playing planeshift, but for me this is THE highlight.

General Discussion / Re: anyone have a azerty keyboard?
« on: July 24, 2008, 06:33:01 pm »
Keyboard layouts are called after the first 6 letters in the top row. US layout is referred as QWERTY, german layout as QWERTZ and french or belgium layouts as AZERTY.

Keyboard layouts were designed to avoid the hammers of mechanical typewriters getting stuck. And to have all letters of the word typewriter in the top line as marketing gag  :o . But that makes them suboptimal for computer keyboards. Therefore people have made other layouts like DVORAK. But those never found widely usage.

Here is a geeky web comic introducing in the topic of keyboard layouts
