Title: The "Game that must not be named"
Post by: Nil_IQ on August 08, 2003, 07:34:05 pm

Hi, I just joined this forum,  (me = nubbin. GET THE NEWBIE!!!!!) and I noticed several references to the \"Game that must not be named\".

Now I know it is ironic that I should ask this, as it means someone will have to write the name that must not be named, but:

What IS this \"Game that must not be named\"?

I am assuming it\'s either Ultima Online or Everquest.

Okay here\'s a test so you can try and find out.

1.) The following word in quotations \"farscape\" is not the game, change the first syllable and replace it from the following selection.

       a.) Dune
       b.) Rune
       c.) Prune
       d.) None of the above

It is censored by the way so if I type
Runesc@pe (note: @=a)
it comes out as
runescape

Ah, RS. Yes. I can see why you hate that game very much, and I don\'t blame you.

But what is everyone\'s opinion of UO? I played it for a while and it was.... o.k. If you find the right guild. I was one of those \"f**king rpers\" :)

If you\'re reading this could you please at least attempt to answer my question in the tech support forum? Thank you.

Runescape.

Hehehehe. testing. :D
Only bad thing with RS was that Andrew suckered many players into his p2p program to \"Get more stuff, quests, and more bank space\", and shunned the f2p\'ers. 3D update (that isn\'t even first person...) will prolly be the F2P\'ers last update forever... that and mining was and is still increadably borring no matter what they did to it [as it is the only real way to get lots of cash, aside from fishing and cooking (though fishing+cooking go together)]...

the fatigue system and thus a sleeping bag. fatigue system \"necessary\" to stop macroers... maybe if you made it alittle less tedius and way more fun, they wouldn\'t macro... :rolleyes:

lol Runescape..  Rune|scape...  Planeshift blows runescape out of the water..    Lol has anyone seen the screen shots for rs 3D?  Its garbage...   Planeshift simply owns RS.  

I laugh at RS

PlaneShift pwns RS b/c PlaneShift is PlaneShift.
And if RS looked like PS, well, PS would still pwn it, because you wouldn\'t have to pay to get the better stuff; the better stuff would be there for everyone to use!
 :D

hehe.. i just looked at the \'3d\' runescape for the first time just now... wow that is crap!

Post by: Monketh on August 09, 2003, 03:46:21 am

It looks better in 2d actually, I play RS and rather enjoy it sometimes. (don\'t shoot me, I didn\'t say that :P)

U\'ll probably find this question stupid but am new here so excuse me, but i just want to know why exactly is the word Runesc@pe censored on this forums???

Title:
Post by: Monketh on August 09, 2003, 04:55:29 am

Because once upon a time, there was much complaining about it, even though PS had nothing to do with it.  So the devs got annoyed and censored it.  So now few ppl talk about it.

Title:
Post by: Drilixer on August 09, 2003, 05:03:31 am

except for the fact that it is censored... smart thinking on the dev\'s parts - next we will all be using Double Speak

Post by: Vengeance on August 09, 2003, 05:45:52 am

I\'m the one who put that censor/synonym thing in there, and I mostly did it as a joke--not because I was annoyed. :-)

Heck, the synonym makes people talk about RS more!

Actually, I have a lot of respect for the guys who made that.  As someone building one of those (more elaborate, but similar), I know exactly how much work RS represents.  Kudos to those guys.

Yea, they do put alot of hard work into it etc, but playing it just isn\'t fun anymore......(Can\'t do this, Can\'t do that, when you are in serious trouble it lags horribly)

It has alot of issues, but the worst of those issues were the new *features* they added themselves. :(

Post by: Niber on August 09, 2003, 11:22:25 am

lol! I never knew that if you typed \"you know what\" it atumatic becomes Runescape. I had always writhed Runescape manually. I like the censurship, becouse it really should not be named.

Title:
Post by: Xalthar on August 09, 2003, 11:53:32 am

I really don\'t care about runescape but the two times I played it, I had less fun than I have playing PS... and PS hasn\'t really got any game content yet, compared to runescape, that is :P

I don\'t like the game, but I recognize the work that must have been put into making it, and for that I respect their devs... The results of their hard labor is another thing :P

Planeshift wil be the mother of all games when a working version is released........so long as it stays free  :)

It\'s guarunteed to stay free Iron, Oh and I do play, but only to get rich :D I have 13,383gp in the bank.

*cough*Java is limited so stop yelling about*cough*
*cough*it. P2p is to support servers and feed hungry*cough*
*cough* computer specialists *cough*

Post by: Drilixer on August 09, 2003, 09:40:10 pm

yeah I usually play to get rich too... but bashing things can be just as fun

Post by: Monketh on August 09, 2003, 11:24:18 pm

That\'s the biggest problem with roonskape, bashing things isn\'t very exciting.  Hopefully PS won\'t be like that, you know, just standing there whacking something with a sword, waiting for it to die.

i used to play rs, and the thing i didnt like most was the way it had no coherent feel - it was all dragons and witches and then there was a mad professor and robots and shiz.. wtf?

plus the \"click the pick, rightclick the rock, click \'mine\'\" x1000 thing :P
