I\'m guessing this is your work, Icefalcon?

Is it that wise to post pictures of an administrative console on a public forum? -.- I doubt any of us care in the first place, I fail to see anything of interest.

Not like it matters, not to much vital info is given out here... Plus you wont be able to access it unless you are adming or can hack. And if you can hack, you would\'nt need the pic in the first place.

To reiterate what Danny said...who cares?
-
If you are saying who cares, than obviously you don\'t understand what rune scape is or why it is being blocked as such.
Rune scape is practically what every MMORPG should be (and often is) striving for. The in-game world has achieved an economic balance that allows every player to make a living doing almost every skill in the game, while allowing one to do quests and grow in skill.
I believe Planeshift, if it can get an economy balance as well done as Rune scape\'s, will be able to completely own Rune scape. The game just needs to keep the support of the players it has now, as well as bring in new players.
Once Crystal Blue is released, look out Rune scape! A new player is in town!

Are you insane?! Just about 3/4 of this community hates runescape. No jelousy, it just sucks outright. No one roleplays, theres almost no customization, no plot or any cool people! The game is horrible, and the only selling point is that its free. It is so bad that is a censored word in the forums so people won\'t talk about how horrible the game is.

Ahhh! Netscape Ahhh! It burns!
Anyways, Ill stick in that filter on the HV forms which noone knows about yet. <.< >.> :)

They are right you know. You\'r description is probably what Jagex intinded when they created the game however they did not cater to the player type needed to make it that way. I myself was even begineing to become dissolutioned by the game because of the shear absurdidty of the player populace and to be honest I doubt we want the magority of RS players on Planeshift.

\" Rune scape is practically what every MMORPG should be (and often is) striving for. \"
You really should see a doctor my friend. Follow my advice, or you\'ll end up pretty bad :rolleyes:
Trust me, you have to be nuts to say a phrase like that. And I mean really nuts, crazy ...

*Sigh*
You people... Ok, let me clear that up. The people are all broken, yes. As for customization, I\'m not sure what you are trying to customize. I guess I was concentrating on the game economy when I said that.
Miner mines ore. Miner sells ore to smith. Smith smelts ore. Smith makes armor. Smith sells armor to adventurer. Adventurer buys fish from fisherman. Adventurer goes and kills stuff. Adventurer collects items when adventuring. Adventurer sells items to other players who needs them (eg; Gems for enchanted jewellry to somebody who can forge such things). Not only that, but there is inflation, and price fluctuations in items as they become harder to come by. Things often cost less in bulk. And, if you work long enough you can become independant and gather together everything you need for adventuring on your own.
I think that was more my point, see it now? If you want to start looking further at the graphics (which you shouldn\'t judge a game on), or the player community, than yes, the people are tools and the graphics aren\'t great at all.
But then again, if we\'re going to start blocking out the names of MMORPG\'s that we think lick, than why not block Final Fantasy 11? In my opinion that game is hardcore garbage. Now I\'m sure I will get trashed on for saying that as well, but come on people! They sell in-game money for real money! COME ON!
Anyway, economy... just economy.
*shrugs*

You do realise you have the PHP Session ID in that address field right?
It\'s probably out of date now anyway, but if it was new it could make stuff pretty much easier for a hacker

Customization is a null basically in this game. If you play the same way another character plays (and you will, there only so many skills you can use) then one set of armor, one weapon, one peice of clothing etc. can be the best you can wear. There\'s no tactic of using any flame retardant robe or ice retardant or w/e in combat. There\'s one set of armor thats either copper, steel, mythril w/e that is the best you can use and thats it. No strategy is found in this game, nothing customizable like looks. Theres rougly 30 types of faces that everyone uses, or you can use a helm that like I said is the best for thousands of other people. Not a very fun game, you could play it offline infact. So it\'s barely an online game. Its more like an offline hack and slash, with a chatroom and a paypal feature. Just about it. You can go the whole game without talking to a soul. Thats totally messed up and defeats the purpose of making a MMORPG.

Hmm while reading the posts after mine here I remembered all the...times. I had in runescape. And all the people who came here from runescape that drove me next to insane while in game. I came to ps to get away from RS not to meet devoted RS players in game -_-. Damn 10 yar old rs players...
-
My verdict is such:
SpoonScape is a good but very dull game, it is missing loads of important features, as far as I saw there were no RolePlaying done there, and what is the game without RolePlaying? It is dull...But there are many good points to the game.
I personaly don\'t see any reason to hate it, what is there to hate? I really like to hear clarification of why people hate it.
-
Ok Verser, let\'s clear some things.
RuneScape is not a game. It\'s an idiot thing that didn\'t have to appear :D
It sux on all sides and it also doesn\'t have a community, 3/4 of it being compose by people who still drinks milk and are affraid to cross the road without their \"mommy\" :P
Graphics on a game don\'t matter? True, but for that there are great muds, way beyond what RuneScape will ever be.
Not to mention about the smart devs from there, that simply steals money from idiots to play it :)
Ok, sorry if I been harsh, but I was only telling the truth. :rolleyes:
-
I have to agree with John_Thazer on this one. Sure, it\'s not fantastic, but it does have it\'s good points. It\'s got a lousy community etc. and I personally find it boring. But that doesn\'t make it a lousy game.
It sux on all sides and it also doesn\'t have a community, 3/4 of it being compose by people who still drinks milk and are affraid to cross the road without their \"mommy\"
Yes yes, we\'ve agreed the community is lousy. Let\'s move on now.... Also, give \'em a break, little gamers have to start somewhere. I personally started in Runescape.
Graphics on a game don\'t matter? True, but for that there are great muds, way beyond what the game-that-shall-not-be-named will ever be.
True, but this is a nice middler. Personally I find it nice that I don\'t have to read the description of everything I \"see\" and yet the \"graphics(or lack of)\" can be run by any comp anywhere, unlike Planeshift, which takes a semi-decent computer.
Not to mention about the smart devs from there, that simply steals money from idiots to play it
There are dozens of pay to play mmorpgs, why pick on Runescape? That\'s really a lousy argument. And besides, it has a free side.
*resists urge to pick on grammar and spelling*

Am I invisible? I posted a pretty defining reason only 2 posts above you.

What?!?! Who said that?!?! :D

True, they don\'t use it in the armor itself. They have prayers and amulets. I find that a lot more realistic, than, \"Here comes a dragon! Better put on my fire-repellant breastplate! Oh wait, there\'s an ice elemental, quick where\'s my ice-repellant robe?\"

Huh? Were you playing Runescape 1? There\'s a whole lot of hairdos and facial types, etc. etc. etc. Sure, there\'s not tons of them, but as many as in most games, and sure they\'re not very detailed, but the devs chose to pay that price to make it small.
Not a very fun game, you could play it offline infact. So it\'s barely an online game. Its more like an offline hack and slash, with a chatroom and a paypal feature. Just about it.

Not a very fun game? That\'s not an argument, that\'s an opinion. And yes, although people could technically play it without ever talking, no one does, do they? Instead they duel with one another, ambush each other in the wilderness, trade, form guilds, etc. Just because you\'re not forced to do any of that, doesn\'t mean it\'s not there....

ECONOMY ECONOMY ECONOMY!! RAWR!!
I continue to get picked on after clearing up what I had initially said and focusing specifically on economy, while even stating that, yes, the community is a bunch of whiners! Did everyone just decide to ignore that and continue to reem me? Jerks =P
You can\'t argue with my last post though. It\'s quite possibly the simplest, but most well functioning part of said game, and yet you all seem to ignore that and continue to lash out at the parts which bother you. I also started out in runescape and it was good way back when... Well, as far as community went it was better at least.
Yay Phinehas! Cudos on not jumping on the bashing bandwagon! Although, you may soon be made a martyr with the current feelings in here (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/images/icons/biggrin.gif)

Heh. The thing is, I find it boring myself, but A. I\'m sick of seeing these guys gang up on people. :D B. Runescape isn\'t fantastic, but it does deserve a bit of credit, and I got bored with everyone pretending that it\'s an abomination. C. I like to argue. :D
-
Phinehas, trust me, I know how their payment works, I\'ve talked with some people over there :P They\'re robbing people in their faces :D
Their free part exists only to make people have the \"gold\" part :D
Anyway, who would want to give money on such games when Online RPGs like EVE, Anarchy and others exists ?(

Umm... dude, I was a member. Five bucks is not thievery. And the free game is a full game by itself, you don\'t need the member packet.
P.S. How do you \"rob people in their faces?\"

RS is a good game for what it does and the technology it uses. I play it every now and then when waiting for stuff to rebulid. The reason the filter was in place here is because we had a large influx of RS posters when they shut down their forums. But now a lot of that is directed to the tip.it site. If you want to complain/praise RS do it there.
