Goodday people,
How is the world of planeshift doing a year after my leave ( i took note of the people saying: \"ZOMG, CUM BAK AFTER WUN YEAR\".
After having my decrypter run on the sentence, it came up with something like come back dude we miss you but don\'t come back now...
Offcourse being gone for a longer period of time, causes you to fail to see what has happened over the last couple of months, so a small update would be very appreciated.
The main things that i know:
Moogle left, More females playing the came then ever, i have a job ^^ aaaaand well thats it, so who is willing to update me on what in Talad\'s name is going on here, so i can start talking on what is, was, and will be.
Hail me.

Hard to tell exactly...
A lot has changed in the environment (grass grew, chimneys smoke, and for a while we had even apples growing).
A lot has changed in the population (long known important people left, new people made themselves important - even more people rummage in the arena and the hills).
And a lot has changed in the population structure, but not everything (one claimed but retreated Octarch, a council of guilds and other people with similar interests, lots of new guilds and a few less - namely a recreated Felines Lair without Ayshe).
If you may or may not like what you will face now... might depend on the people you meet at first. But don\'t give up too quickly if you took a wrong turn... We will enjoy everyone who still cares about this land.

You stopped playing at around the time I joined. In that time...
- the death realm has expanded
- there are more weapons and countless variations on them
- daggers are in the game
- people now deal over 200 damage max instead of only around 55-80 max
- a lot of bugs are gone
- there\'s a \"keep maps loaded\" option
- Laanx makes an occasional experience (if you meet her face to face, I advise you to be extremely respectful!)
- the quests are working and there are a couple dozen of them
- Hydlaa has been expanded
- there are a bunch of new glyphs which you get through quests or friends
- the GM team has been improved
- GM\'s will run events from time to time
- Guild require at least 5 members and a starting fee
- Certain weapons are enchanted and give bonuses to character stats
- there are mushrooms
- there is a /me command and a /my command (/me yawns results in \"Zanzibar yawns\", /my eyes look tired results in \"Zanzibar\'s eyes look tired.\"
- invite spamming (including trades and challenges) are punished automatically by the server
- the arena is the new place that people camp instead of the tefusand valley
I\'ll probably think of more later. I have more of a \"PLer\" perspective on things, others can probably tell you things which are more useful.
-
Wibble is old! :D At least as old as MB.
-
Well it\'s relatively new to me. >:|
-
Hello Dorbian. :D Welcome back, and ummm.. watch the fall damage. It can be a pain in the butt if you just run down hills. DR is a long trip. See you around ....
-
hey old mate i remember you and your radio station.
hahhaa i annoyed you a bit and i said i would shut up and stop requesting songs if you mentioned my name on the radio, good stuff and now im famouse.
-
okay, lots of game improvements, but i was talking more community wise, i left because the community changed to much in a short time ( and by the looks of it, it still does ).
A game like this needs a big group of steady people, now here i am cutting my own head by leaving, but it also shows that i still am wondered by this community, and the game ( which became what it is today because of it\'s great community ).
And yes i remember the radio station very well, it\'s still running, but nobody is actually streaming, most because none of us can get the program running again.
The site still exists and maybe if i can get the license back and the bandwith on my server spared, i will think about relounching it, thanks to my new job i found several good ways on how to do the conversations and i have enough cash to buy better hardware to do so :)
btw what happened to the dice rolling that was so popular in MB, is it still alive...
Ohw well, i\'ll probably put my Incensio Tenebrae guild image up soon enough, concidering im still a member and i\'m still playing other games under it\'s name.
If there are other changes, please let me know, i have to know who the new popular kids in the forum are, so i can smash m and do dreadfull evil things to them.
Yes i will keep the anti flaming and anti killing and the god rp-ing in tome to make sure my deleted post count will stay as low as can be, but you can\'t blame an evil RP Character for showing it\'s true nature once in a while.
*Now where did i leave my book on how to destroy Laanx, damn dusty place in here...
I should never have left this dump behind for the sunny beaches, no i have to hire a damn cleaner*
-
Dice rolling is dead. Seperot is about the only person who actively advocates it. Really, there is simply no reason for it in combat, and it even works against the mechanics and ballance issues that the devs have worked so hard on solving. For other things, people tend to ignore them.
If you want to throw someone out of the tavern, you might do rolls and then use your strength stat as a modifier. But people just don\'t do it, I don\'t see it happening.
If you want someone to go on a date with you in game, you might do a roll and use charisma as a modifier. But people don\'t do it, and I don\'t see it happening.
Who knows. Maybe things will change. Personally, I don\'t like it because it isn\'t transparent... it feels disruptive.
-
w00t heya dorb!
good to see others from the early eras returning, things are progressing at PS\'s pace. Though my only complaint is that PS\'s is becoming more a \'video\' game, where as I never thought of it as such before, rather it was a hobby all its own.

Well, I am not religious enough to believe in the inevitable fate... :P
I prefer to listen to the emotions I get from a player when I talk or watch one (or even read character descriptions), to decide if there is a possible \"partner\" in front of me. I don\'t like rolling dice to decide if I want to date someone.
Editing the character description, using emotive expressions (/me, /my), offering \"rare\" gifts (like pies) ... that all is just much more natural than asking the fortune. And indeed, there have been very few situations when I really could not decide what to do. Then an OOC note, or a tell, is just closer.
_
But the dice are not yet dead! Recently I joined a nice gambling game, similar to \"17+4\", and another like \"Roulette\". People are creative. Maybe in a different way than before, when such things were more usual, or even necessary (e.g. without PvP duels, I can imagine that dices were a good way to find the more powerful between two people; oh, that must have been a peaceful life...).
-
It\'s nothing big, but in MB it was out the only thing i did ;) so i was wondering :P
Does anybody have any idea what happened to the cabal, the strange guys that run around naked and scream:\" I\'m god fear me\".
I still haven\'t downloaded the new client yet :O
Currently very busy with the guildwars part of incensio tenebrae which is getting more popular by the day :D it does take almost all my free time thou which is becoming somewhat of a bother.
I still don\'t know anything about the mayor community changes :(
And Druke, PS is a video game :P you can\'t really do this pen and paper based although it was more like that during MB
-Dorb
-
First thing is hello Dorbian, welcome back.
Second, of course, I\'m god fear me!!!
I was the only one who claimed to be god though, and Savion and Saty were the naked runners :P
Yeah we cabali disbanded a while ago...public opinion is that it is all Xordan\'s fault :D
Dice rolling is just as annoying as it was in MB though :D
Major Community changes: Everything except the DE and the EG is gone... or so it seems.
Guildwars is bloody addictive though, how many of the IT are playing it, I may join you if I can.
-
errr aldar,daecery, me and possibly faldie, the others are doing other things.
we have other non IT members in the IT guild and they are pretty active.
Now why is it Xordans fault, did he stop running arond naked ? (the horror)
-
Actualy yes, that pansy became a dev and so he couldn\'t lead the guild.
-
The horror! Yes I\'m in a spammy mood, but Dorbian knows the <3 is there...!
-
yes... love... what love >;|
I like pain and promises to torture me in painfull and pleasurefull ways.
I like to flame people for no good reason, to promise death upon the ignorant and the godrpers, to show them that i always win, with my mighty greater golden wyrm ( not wurm) arse attack.
I like my love for killing of the unknowing ones.
my love for this community.
Yes Xalthar, i love you, if i can eat your brains.
I don\'t know what the hell i just said, it was just something that ran through my head.
Don\'t bother to understand... just... don\'t

Dorbian was IT and I was a \"friend\" of the guild....Meaning I pretty much spammed their forums and they laughed at me :P
And I am not a godrper, I don\'t rp a god at all. As for ignorance I am far from that aswell. :D
Funny thing though, is that a few of the older players seem to be popping up from time to time now, it\'s refreshing.
-
couldnt give info about the change in posting hierarchy if i wanted to maybe someone else can, other than that the only community info i can give is that seperot made a webcomic incase you didnt find that out from looking at posts.
-
Oh yes, you didn\'t know about Sep\'s webcomic did you Dorbian :P
-
Originally posted by Waylander

You mean that one that stopped after 40 something strips? :D
Hey waylander, ever notice that we have the same amount of deleted posts? :P
-
i payed for the domain, i host the site and i build the site...
how can i not know about the webcomic...
and there where several problems, yes, but we are working on that right now.
Waylander, shame on you, go flame and spam some more.
ohw and for those that are interested in joining the gw guild, the webiste can be found at: http://www.dorbian.nl/guildwars or http://www.itgw.tk or http://dorbian.no-ip.info:1643/guildwars

I\'m tons o fun, you should know that zanzibar :)
aaaaand now i don\'t know what to type other then i can\'t get planeshift to work properly on my laptop...
-Dorbian
-
kixie what you talking about?
http://www.darkstorminc.com <- it was updated thismorning :s
i did have a comp crash which cause me to be offline for like 2 weeks... but DORBIAN posted news about it -_-
yea a double question answer :P
Dorb <3
-
So Dorbian, IT\'s just a Guildwars guild and not a multi-game guild anymore?
Anyway, good to see you around here! I hope Faldie also remembers to drop by one of these days :D
-
IT is multiguild, but i\'m mainly doing the guildwars part atm ,because i\'m pretty active and i want it to be alot biger when factions comes out.
And i\'m somewhat happy to be around again, about faldie, dunno if he comes back concidering his PP addiction.
-
Welcome back, I guess the old saying is right, everyone comes back eventually...

Why should I know that about you? I don\'t remember seeing your screen name until a few days ago, meaning that we haven\'t talked with eachother or that you haven\'t done anything to catch my attention.
-
Or you\'ve been living in a box, which is also possible...
And give me a good reason for me wanting to have your attention, not that i would care for it.
-

That is beside the point. You claim that I should know what your habbits are. I challenge your assertion.
-
points to the rest of the thread, that should clearly show my mood ( tons o fun not a habbit, it\'s a mood )
Now if you don\'t mind, i created the thread to figure out what is going on in planeshift, not to have discussions with people that just have to show that they are alive and have a attention disorder.
And yes, you will most likely prove my point by replying to this post by telling something that is totally off topic, which your previous 2 posts also where.
-
Awwwww
I <3 Dorbian \\o/
And Zanzi he was before you came. He knew a lot of people and can not hope to remember them all.
Seeing as you posted in this thread he assumed that you must have known him and he had just forgotten you.

Possibly. He certainly doesn\'t seem worth remembering.:)
-
Don\'t judge to quickly. He is a very good guy once you get past all the sarcasm. And he helped the planeshift community out with his hosting and his radio station.
-
What sarcasm :O ?( :P
Lets say i knew Zanzibar and somehow thought he also knew me ( yes i did read the forums while i was away )
I think he started somewhat before i left, but not much.
-
dorbian!!!!!!!!
hmm so for how long will you be staying this time? :D
oh and you STILL have the greatest sig in history :D
-
To Zanzibar:
/me has been here for a LONG time...
And I sure hope Faldie looks in...

When did I say that anyone else hasn\'t been here for a long time? When did I say that I have been here for a long time? I\'ve just challenged dorbian\'s assertion that I should know and expect his pattern of behaviour.
-
Efflixi, lets say i will stay here for a long time, although the game itself will have to wait since i can\'t get it to work properly and i\'m to stubborn to ask for help.
Dammit I have to put my stamp on this here again, i mean my soul collection went down the drain, i have to recollect each and every one again.

No no no! Don\'t get me wrong, I meant the command \"/me\" has been here for a long time.
:)
-
point proven.
-
I thought I said that \"/my\" was new, not \"/me\"?
-
zanzibar, you where probably right that you can\'t know my mood, but looking at the previous posts which you should have read since you where the thirth person to post in this thread, you could have asumed that i\'m a tons o fun kind of guy.
You can always call it human knowledge, or making assumptions.
But the reason for all this is your own fault, you actually posted something to create a reaction that you could have known would create something like this.
\"Well you\'re just a bottle of sunshine today, holly smokes.\"
This is your post replying to something i said, while in that post was nothing wrong or offensive or showing that i\'m pissed.
Now you say that you can\'t know my so called \"habbits\" in my words moods, but, you do claim to know what mood i\'m in.
The assumption i made that you should know something is a logical answer since you allready claimed to know what my mood was at that very moment, and that my dear friend, was a wrong assumption.
Now i don\'t know you that long, but concidering your post count and your join date, you post alot of bs and just like to be in the spotlight.
I bet that if everybody would ignore you, you would go mental.

Naw, you\'re parrotting the usual talking points that other imbittered regulars love to throw around.:) With a very high degree of accuracy, I might add. Either I have this effect on all individuals with your \'attitude\', or... *nudge nudge*.
My comment was not bait, nor was it thrown out there just to get a reaction. In three threads, I saw you making making borderline-flames towards people who did nothing to deserve it. It\'s really as simple as that. And yes, you did say something obnoxious in the post I replied to.
-
Yes oh mighty lord Zanzibar, i have the oppinion of the masses, my brain is lead by other people and i have no free will.
You are right, as you probably always are.
I hope this was enough ego boosting for you to start leaving me alone, or i will show you what borderline flaming really is...
And that my friend, is a promise.
Now that i have dealt with that, Who wants a cookie.

That is kind of rude to say...and he never really was ahead.
Either way, Zanzi, no matter how right you are (which you aren\'t) you should be respectful of Dorbian\'s friends and not use this thread to show how much of a bastard you can be :P
-
This thread makes me laugh for all the wrong reasons. :)
So yeah, a close should be iminent. Wibble Dorbian. That is all.
-
So now that we can stop ganging up on each other and giving me further reasons to end the thread as it so happened with every other I\'m-back/I\'m-leaving thread that was ever in existance, I\'m sure we can find other ways to release all netagive energies and create a nicer and friendlier atmosphere throughout the forums.
Shall we?
-
Awww, but half of my entertainment comes from watching people getting pissed at other.
Meh, it\'s not even that bad, it\'s just Zanzi\'s and Dorb\'s attitudes clash badly, they\'ll get used to each other...Oh, that and I am a bit of a .... peanut disturber :P

Nowhere have I disrespected Dorbian\'s aquaintances, and nowhere have I used this thread to be a bastard. I merely commented on Dorbian\'s string of negative posts since his return, and he even agreed with me on it but said that I should expect it from him. That\'s where we disagree - I say that I had no reason to expect it from him. It\'s a really minor thing and I\'m not sure why it has attracted so much attention.

It wasn\'t the right place to comment on the string of negative posts. Mainly because you were bound to just turn this thread into a string of negative posts.
You know it would attract so much attention, that is why you posted it here where all his old friends were posting.
And, you took my post a little more insulting that I had thought you would. I didn\'t really mean anything more than don\'t be quite so outspoken in somebodies \"returning\" thread, especialy if you aren\'t being friendly towards him.
-
You\'re responsible for what you post. I\'m responsible for what I post. How about moving on?
edit: I don\'t see how I was outspoken more so than anyone else, but whatever. Let\'s move on as has been requested.
-
*shoots Zanzibar for the edit* :P
Anyways, if we haven\'t scared you off Dorbian, I go by the name of Nurahk ingame, if you ever do play I\'d be honoured to show you around
-
:P I highly doubt that Dorbian was scared off, or else he certainly wouldn\'t live up to his name now would he? Hurry up and come into game Dordian .... Stop being stubborn and ask for help. :D We need the chaos. \\o/
-
pfft I made Dorbian... if it wasent for me he would still be a quiet loner in PS doing nothing but keeping to himself :P
In other news im tired someone read me a bedtime story <3

Hence the reason i didn\'t post what i was going to post, some people read it and i wouldn\'t have left anything alive of him, yes he was doing the wrong things specially reaction in a wrong way on sarcasm, but some people can tell by reading, others have to hear it, you can\'t really blame someone for that.
and nowhere have I used this thread to be a bastard
FYI, in every thread i have posted, you have been negative towards me except for the first 2 posts here, please don\'t make it something personal.
Anyways, if we haven\'t scared you off Dorbian, I go by the name of Nurahk ingame, if you ever do play I\'d be honoured to show you around
Scaring me off, unless you look like a 900 pounder with huge warts and you smell like a bearpit, you won\'t scare me off.
luckily this is the internet and we wouldn\'t physicly smell and or see eachother.
We need the chaos. \\o/
Hurray Choas, i was born for that baby :D
pfft I made Dorbian...
Where you on crack when you where writing that o.O you made me, i believe ( sorry for the jehova\'s ) my mother made me with some interaction with my father.
And the sorry for jehova\'s is for the following:
They always tell me that Jezus is my father >.> still wondering why they do thou...
Now who wants Pie :)
Ohw waylander you can always come over to the forum and spam all you like :) just keep your fingers out of the guildwars section :p
