Title: Somewhat late tenth anniversary *BOOP!*
Post by: Moogie on June 17, 2013, 12:55:52 am
That is to say, the tenth anniversary of my account registration, not the game itself-- which of course is much older. This is also meaningless because I'm never here! Woo, anniversary of me not being here! I'm sure some still celebrate it every year. ;)

So, anyways. Still chugging along, eh? Planeshift: one of life's constants. :) Keep on keeping on, you brave warriors of opensaucy gaming! You should advertise more; I never see anyone out there in the wider Interwebs talking about PS. One day, my memory is going to fade, and it'll be as if this place never existed-- part of my subconscious will feel sad about it, but I won't remember why. I'll remember nothing, except for a vague sense of loss and a fleeting image of a ruby crystal, encrusted atop the crumbling stone pillar of some old, dark temple... It'll feel oddly comforting, this dreamlike scene, but I'll never be able to put my finger on just why it feels so... important to me. Then I would shrug, assume it's from "some jumping puzzle game I once played", and go about my day, never again knowing of this place.

But for now, my brain occasionally taps me on the shoulder and whispers, "Hey, you remember that one place, with the people and the things?" and I think, "Oh yeah... I wonder how they're doing these days. Maybe I has messages!" And I did. I had two messages. :) But more importantly, the project itself continues. Now, go out there and show people you still exist, damnit!

No, I mean: In contrast to 10 years ago, rather during the last few years.

Hello, you. :) I'm good, thanks! I hope you're also doing well. Do you still come here often, or did you just randomly decide to check up on the place (like I did)? I browsed around some of the recent threads and haven't recognised a single name so far. Kinda scary.

Oh, that reminds me. Is anyone in contact with Princess Aeyla? Niber was asking about her a few days ago. Said he thinks he saw her in some 'famous' Youtube video and wanted to ask if it was really her. xD

Oh wow... A Moogie appears. :D Hello there. I think I started playing around the time you left but I do still remember people mentioning your name fairly often back when I first started playing this game.

And look even a UTM has appeared. ;)

I haven't posted in about a year and a half, because the longer I went without posting, the more I wanted to go even longer without posting.  That is one terribly convoluted sentence.  Anyway, I had to leave this anti-posting cycle to say hello to Moogie.  It's good to see your name after so many years!  Also, Moon:  Get back to work, you bum!

UTM is one of those that will work without us knowing. But generally,

According to my 83,145,085 bytes of plain text PlaneShift logs, a certain "Moogy" last made an appearance on Feb 25th 2008 when she was looking to buy damaged leather armour. Maybe - in order for it to be a proper celebration - a certain "Moogie" should deliberate to download a certain "client" and log in to receive some anniversary presents! How about some un-damaged, enchanted leather armour of finest quality? ;D

Joking aside, there is a lot of new stuff to be discovered if my guess is right and you haven't been on in more than 4 years. Revamped Hydlaa, many new crafts, quests and items. You are missing out big time, old fella!  >o)

(And once you are up-to-date in terms of game content, you can start that advertising campaign, that we'd need indeed! ;D )

EDIT: Thanks to LigH for the subtle hint! ;) And a question from a non-native speaker ... what the heck is the female alternative for "old fella"? xD

I fear that she, the great Moogie, was so long away that she may have to make a completely new char.

Well, that may not be the worst issue, regarding the intensely improved tutorial.

Old gal works...old lady is a bit strange, usually only used to describe a wife (by the unformed masses), as in "my old lady is working late tonight,"  something like the strangely insulting "her at home" used in England, by the same masses....or, you can get creative...was this Moogie a warrior type, strong and heavily armored?  Old tank would work....did she irritate you, stick in your craw?  Old fishbone.  Was she the prettiest thing the crystal ever did shine upon?  Old dish.  Was she sort of aristocratic?  Old dame.  Did you love her?  Old lovey dovey.  Were you married to her and a bit bitter about it?  Old ball and chain.

I think I'm losing my mind (old batty, in case she was mad) so I will stop.   >o)

Well, it seems I'm somewhat fashionably late to the party but, hey moogs. Seems the big old msn changeover wasn't as bad as we all feared, no :p

Now maybe grono will make an appearance soon?

Necrooooooooo. I'm also 8 years old since Planeshift popped my RPG cherry. Pretty much all of this is offensive. Except the last sentece, which is not offensive, since it is self aware and honest. Why are you still reading this?

Also -- a UTM. Now where's Xillix?
Title: Re: Somewhat late tenth anniversary *BOOP!*

UtM and Xillix used to be involved in different game development projects.

I know that. I was involved in one. I think both are done for, however.

i'll just leave this here for when you check back on this in 10 more years.  hello moogster, congratz on still being older than me.  :P  i hope all is well.  and now we just need miss k to make an appearance and we'd pretty much have linear history of the global mod team in one thread.

oh and i'll have something special for the rest of you all later tonight.  depends on how long it takes to type out  :3
