Title: What the?
Post by: drumstickNL on April 11, 2006, 04:51:09 pm
I dont get the game, it\'s all a bit weird,
Control\'s are difficult. u dont know where u are and it\'s not user-friendly specially for new players!

If u adept a map or some control\'s u SURE get some players, and if u make all stuff better, i get u ppl some players. I got some good contact\'s at gamesite\'s
like: www.megagames.com and some dutch and belgium site\'s.

Edited for language.

Can you offer some better insights?  Comments like \"If you make the game better you will get more players\" are not really that valuable.  We know we have a lot of work ahead of us.

So is any RPG to the right mind and the right player. It doesn\'t make it any less valid.

Did you read the instructions? ;)

\"Adopt\" ? Are you saying there are none?  They\'ve worked for me.

I don\'t think bribing the design crew is gonna help. . .*Laughs*

And people here are interested in your \"contacts\" how? Unless you lead a major gaming clan or work for a gaming company I doubt you would take the time to invest in that, and quite frankly I\'m not too sure of either.

The title hooked me.

First off, the subject name is 100% inappropriate.
Second, if you\'re going to critisize, do it contructively. Join the team and bless all of us with your god given perfection in creating an MMORPG.
Third, directions..arrow keys..shift...it\'s all good.

Map..map..if you read any one of the 43434 posts about maps you\'d know that we won\'t be making any.
And PLEASE don\'t get us players, since they\'re probably going to be somewhat like you. *wonders if his mother is the only person on his contact list*

Alrighty, I\'m done.

drumstickNL I think the community is just fine. I don\'t think planeshift is begging for players. :/

Something about your post tells me you didn\'t even research as to how to control your character. Try looking for commands in your icon bar..... ya that\'s right ... clicky the one icon that looks like a question mark, and the one beside it is options.  There now you can stop swearing .... *sighs*

You\'ve got to be kidding me, Planeshift has a brand new tutorial, and still some people find it hard to even walk! I think the first or second page of the in-game tutorial instructs how to walk. And you with all your game expertise and game magazine contacts should know that 99,9999% of the time WASD works. By the way, what\'s with the language, leetspeak isn\'t cool you know, it only makes you post harder to read.

Stars, the sentiment in this quotation is not unreasonable, but its author is less so; couldn\'t you have picked a similar quote from Thomas Jefferson et. al. rather than choosing the one by a lunatic white supremacist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lane)?

That\'s why I said \"I\'m not too sure of either.\"

I could have.

As to all else. . .Wikipedia doesn\'t exactly come up as #1 on my \"top places to get information from\" list.

You DO realize that the whole system is editable by ANYONE that can browse the Internet, right? You don\'t have to have so much as a pulse to use Wikis.

What I DO like about this game very much are game\'s forums. You can post anything you invent even without using your brain prior posting and here you are - you get directions, help  and even some construtive criticizm (how do I write this word?:)). I\'m so proud to become new memeber of such friendly community:D.... WOW.... zorbels has 666 posts... He is evil too....

First of all, stop swearing! It\'s stupid and does nothing! Second, I haven\'t even created my character yet and i\'m not complaining. So far I found out how use all of the correct controls, I looked over the rules,  and I understand the game when I haven\'t even gone on yet! Wanna know how I did it? Let me spell it out for you,
R-E-S-E-A-R-C-H!
