Title: It's still here!
Post by: Morfene on March 14, 2008, 04:24:36 am
As if this game is still around!!

First of all, I'm impressed by pretty much everyone for keeping this alive.

So whats new?

Can you fight yet?  Are there monsters?  Is there money? 

I'm pretty excited.

Well, I think we are all happy to say that we can answer "Yes" to every one of your questions  :D. When you say, what's new, how long has it been since you were here? A lot has changed, like a nice new update. Might want to see http://www.planeshift.it/ for the info on that. PlaneShift still has its server crashes, and it goes down every now and then. There are also several bugs with the game, as it is not a finished title yet, but hey, at least it's here to enjoy!

Player-created books and maps, guild housing, GM events, over 100 NPC quests, the start of a pet system, 3 armor types, an open-pvp arena, ~5 different maps/regions, and much more :) Folks have been busy since AB.

Ooh ooh.  Tempting to return... I have to ask myself if I have time.

Thanks for the quick update guys.

Wow, you played back then? I feel like such a newbie in comparison... I started way back in the early 0.3's... The first major update I can remember was the Great Ojaveda Shuffle which moved it over from where the Bronze Doors are now to its current location... Of course, the Bronze Doors themselves happened at the same time, but the move I remember more. I ended up getting lost, and I kept thinking how OOC this was because clearly the characters shouldn't "forget" the way... I think I had to get someone to guide me over to Hydlaa from Oja.

...Wow, I'm turning this into a PS reminiscences topic. I should stop.

Kary also forgot to add that now instead of just holding weapons in your hands by your sides, you can actually swing them and deal damage.

;)

oh, and no more crystal hunting.  think that was MB though.  *shrugs*

You have the most interesting post history, Sir :P

All the same, quite a bit has change since the last time you posted.  March 2003 is AB?  Damn, should had I been a few months faster I'd have four versions under my belt now :P

AB was earlier than 2003, I'm pretty sure.
edit: Molecular Blue was released on 7 March 2003, which means he missed Atomic Blue by 2 days ;)

Morfene is close to the border, so he might've had a chance to play the former version :] Forum registration dates aren't always matching to the date you first played.

That's true of course. If he really last played in Atomic Blue he'll be surprised when he gets in-game ;)

Haha, well I can't remember... too long ago. 

It's downloading now and I'm sure I'll be surprised.  I take it characters aren't saved version to version...?
Title: Re: It's still here!
Post by: neko kyouran on March 15, 2008, 03:47:46 pm
correct, but there was a char migration from MB to CB, and there was a full char wipe at the beginning stages of CB I think it was.

Something like that anyways.  Been too long ago for me to remember the details.

Post by: steuben on March 15, 2008, 04:12:16 pm
there was the migrartion. early in cb there was a db roll back to the start of the cb db. /me makes note: next version name shouldn't start with 'd'

i think the website to migrate is laanx.fragnetics.com/migration ... well it used to be... i think... not sure where or if it it is now

I think back int eh crystal hunts I found like 3 total... I also managed to get stuck under the world several times... ah, funsies...

I don't anyone would tell if they could (not that I could) ;)

Seriously, we ponder over and over for every new release and then take the best name and start all over for the release after that.

If people don't stop using the furnaces all day long it would soon be 'deep sea blue'  ::|
