Wish list / Recreation?
« on: July 25, 2003, 06:06:17 pm »
MMORPGs usually revolve around battling, and more recently weapon/armor smithing, and also shop keeping. However, when I play a MMORPG (or even regular RPGs for that matter) I tend to get tired of the same killing of monsters, weapon smithing, bartering.. and instead I just want to spend a little time doing something fun with friends. And in that, I ask for one (perhaps two) things that would be fun in PS but not essential. This could maybe take the form of a trading card game, animal raising(I don\'t like it, but maybe some do), fishing... just something that takes the tension off trying to get stronger, and just having a little bit of fun.

General Discussion / Banned from IRC
« on: July 23, 2003, 12:12:06 am »
Agh, this is so stupid. I got banned from the PlaneShift IRC chat because Kiern and Link were talking about how Alucard got banned because of the gline-me room or whatever, and without a thought I joined that room, and lo and behold I get a suspected spammmer message and banned! Ah, I guess it\'s ok since it was a dumb mistake of mine.. -sigh-.

The Hydlaa Plaza / My sig
« on: July 22, 2003, 10:25:49 pm »
Hey guys, I\'ve been missing with my sig and I thought I\'d see if I could get some help from you guys. Well, first of all the sig is made up of three pictures and one text. The picture of the person and the hand are of War of Genesis characters. The smoke/aura surrounding the hand was a cloud I stole from a Princess Mononoke picture and smudged up on Adobe Photoshop 7.0. The real problem I have is with text, I can do almost 0 text effects. As you can see it\'s hardly legible, it says \"Sorrow\". If someone could help me with this I\'d be very happy, I can send you the picture without the text.

Guilds Forum / Guild Registration
« on: July 21, 2003, 11:52:49 pm »
After taking a look at the amount of guilds and their orginization, I found it impossible to even take a look at any of these. Thereappears to be no orginization of the guilds. I would like to propose an idea of some formal registration of the guilds in order to create \"official\" guilds. Though, I am not aware of anything such as that exists already. Something as simple as a page and a list of guilds, their alignment, amount of members, website link... because searching through the threads is extremely tiring.

General Discussion / Hello

Hey, I don\'t know if you guys remember me. I\'ve followed Planeshift off and on for years. Haha, unfortunately sometimes I get bored (My apologies) and disappear for a while, then come back. I\'m suprised this Username still exists! Well, I\'ll be seeing you guys around.

Granted or negated Wishes / The Planeshift world in general
« on: July 31, 2002, 07:45:05 pm »
I keep running into the very same issue every single time I play a MMORPG. In MMORPG\'s you would usually want Role-Play to be highly regarded, and the world to be as much like the imagined world.. therefore, for example.. the big issue PKing.. say perhaps in the PS world, as in imagine it as if it were real not the game, if someone killed someone.. everyone walking on the streets would turn and try to catch the guy while city gaurds came to attack.. now, in the game world, it is different.. the player could just log out, or the people walking around if there were any, would do nothing possibly. Then we come to things such as guilds making a siege on a city, everything like that. In full respect, I don\'t think there should be any PK rules at all, but rather ingame laws made by the ingame government against murder. And then there\'s the issue where players come back to life.. I suppose you understand what I mean.. there are several issues regarding almost all aspects of MMORPGs, making it as real as possible, however, making it playable.

General Discussion / Thinking about changing my PS name..
« on: July 29, 2002, 09:00:50 pm »
Hey guys, I need a bit of your time if you don\'t mind! I was thinking about the name is was using and Shinji is from a mecha anime and all.. so I thought I\'d chose something more.. appropriate with the sword-esque type of world.. hence, I came across Sasaki Kojiro Genryu and Miyamoto Musashi, the most famous and strongest swordsmen ever in Japan. I\'ll give you a bit of history, and what names I can pick.. try to pick the ones that sound cool stuff.

Musashi is the most famous Japanese swordsman ever, his religion was called \"The Way of the Sword\" a branch of Zen Buddhism. Musashi was a ronin in his youth, looking for opponents, though as he became older he turned into a philosopher, but still battled. Musashi, hence, was extremely spiritual. Musashi was the first to utilize two blades in combat.

Sasaki was Musashi\'s skilled rival, aristocratic, intelligent, extremely good with ladies, though not a womanizer, while Musashi was a rough type of person.

Finally, the two were set to duel on a small island off of Japan. Sasaki arrived first, but after waiting for a supposed five hours, Musashi finally arrived. Sasaki was extremely angry at his rival, and in his anger he unsheathed his huge drypole longsword and tossed the sheath away. I don\'t remember exactly what Musashi said but it was something like \"A warrior without his sheath is nothing\". And after this, Musashi struck down Sasaki in a single blow, it may have been two but no one knows.. anyways, it was kinda fair and kinda not.. but you get it. Anyways, that was Musashi\'s final battle, and he named the island \"Gairyu\" after Sasaki.

So now that I\'ve given you the background, here\'s the names

Musashi
Miyamoto
Sasaki
Kojiro
Genryu

You take your pick. Thanks alot! ^_^!

General Discussion / The intro, and then some.
« on: March 24, 2002, 07:05:14 pm »
When I saw the intro, I was stunned by the graphics. Wow. I was awed. Looks like the graphics were pulled straight out of Myst or Final Fantasy X. Wow. Not only that, but the music made it oddly all go together. For a little movie like that, it wanted me to play the game so very badly. I want to download the music. Give it to me. Good job, guys
