Title: You have been summoned...
Post by: Illysia on October 02, 2016, 10:49:17 pm
Alright you lurkers, I know you are out there. Time to speak up. There's at least 12 people a day coming through these forums but most of them never say anything, I'm not counting the bots either. :P It's time for us to hear from some of the other people still coming to the forum.

Also, you oldbies lurking especially need to pipe up. No small number of you raised heck around here in the past. Don't go silent now. :P *looks around and pats her pockets* I don't have any flamewars to bait you with.

Hello Illysia!

I don't really consider myself a lurker, since I do post on subjects that are important to me.
Don't get me wrong: All those threads you launched have their sense. But IMHO mainly to people who are new to RP and want some orientation.
Which for me would have been about six years ago.  ;D
In the years since I did learn a lot about RP, mostly by watching, simply RPing and thinking about what I can improve for myself.
If now I think too much about it, I may not be spontaneous in my RP anymore. Therefore I just let it flow.

Greetings,
Gonger

Hehe, I bumped you out of the forum stats for top posters Suno. :D You better get back here if you want to try to get it back. I'm coming for your spot on top topic starters too. :P

Aww... Don't worry. The sting will pass. That matter possibly could have been handled differently, I wasn't really around so I'm not entirely sure what went down, but everyone has gone to their separate corners now. Hopefully, you had some good memories at least.

Do you think things are getting better in PS? Talad said that he doesn't care if there are any players, development will continue. While there have been many improvements in the 6 yrs. I've been playing, there have been many things that have driven players away.

*resists urge to be a cranky oldbie*

Depends on what you mean. Do I think the game itself is improving? Yes, but not fast enough to compete in the general MMO market. Do I think the part that keep players, the RP community, is improving. No. There are still too few people.

It actually doesn't matter what ran people away in the past. What's keeping PS from growing now is RP lethargy and an uphill battle. Until you get enough player willing to reclaim, till, and tend the RP soil, it will never be fertile again. That will take a lot of work and commitment. One person can't do it all. Until RP is healthy and growing, the game will just be a bunch of features developed without sufficient players to use them.

So, yeah, development will continue but what difference does it make if the game isn't being enjoyed?

I dunno what to say beyond that. While I have fond memories of this game, even I wouldn't try to martyr myself for it twice.

Woah, is that actually a thing? Surprised I didn't mount it up with other early-game achievements. Man, those duel points though...

You're just saying that because you need 671 more posts just to catch up. :detective:

Well atleast forum stat competition would get some life up here(and higher stats for me  :D).

We may get more people to do more than log in briefly yet.

I doubt you'd get many of them in game but at least the forum can stop being dead.

I've been lurking for 9 years! But I'm nowhere near competitive on forum stats... That top stats page brought up a few memories. Long live Adraax!  \\o//

Well, see... that's what happens when you don't post a lot on the forums. :p

However, you can get a few more posts in with Kwyn's next moves. ;) We need to get Tidebringer back too though.

When there is a summoning I always picture warlock-style magic, and how much it must suck to be a demon getting summoned in the middle of taking a dump.

Also hi.

Hiya Jonoth. ;D However, you know Oldbies don't go to the bathroom, they just sit behind their screens nitpicking until they are called... or not called as the case sometimes is. :lol:

Speak for yourself. I just made sure I went whenever I was in the Death Realm. This way when I got out my inventory was light enough to stand!
