What about a city like the wookies have in star wars?
Just in case you are wondering to your self (what the heck is this guy talking about) then here is a basic desrcription
Race: Very diverse mostly a trading town so just about every race is found here
Architecture: this is where it gets interesting, i want almost a
tree house city. Basically a bunch of tree houses connected by rope bridges. It seems the ropes holding the bridges inside the giant tower turned out pretty good. i mean u can even stand on top of the ropes (thats detail). All in all this to me would be an awesome city, except one problem would have to be adressed and that would be people falling off the bridges. Either the lag would have to be fixed so people didnt go through lag and find them selves on the forest floor, or if you fell you could respawn back where u fell off of, or you could just make the bridges impossible to fall off of via invisble walls
Cmon give some feed back guys, im desperate....
(i like cheese...)

This is my first post on 07.01.2002
This looks like its going to turn into a very good game. Judging by the pictures and features, this is a very ambitious project. I want to thank the developers for taking on this very ambitious project and making it free for all.
I hope you will more praise for all your hard work!
I wish to play this as soon as it becomes available to me.

And that\'s when everything started to go wrong...
Anyways, my first post is quite a long one and apparentually the longest:

We\'re going to have a punch of people nothing but coughing all the time and we\'ll just assume they\'ve catched a cold or something.

V/ Hide stats
THAT is a very innovative idea. (i don\'t remember who said it first in this post) You would not say anymore \"I have 500 strengh\" but \"once i was attacked by a group of 5 huge orcs and I killed all of them...\"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Great idea, but probably most people would be against it so it could be compromised: Instead of numeric stats we could have descriptions for your abilities. For example strength could be descriped \"strong as a trepor\" or \"can beat 5 huge orcs at a time\" or \"stonecrusher\" or anything what comes in mind. Or just plain, boring \"strong\", \"robust\", \"weak\", \"fragile\" and such. Not sure if this is already suggested (most probably by Davis) but doesn\'t matter. As for myself, I\'d prefer hidden stats though... It brings a nice comical aspect to the game as you can\'t be sure are you able to knock down that giant with your hand made axe... (Unless you have tried it before, or seen your friend trying it and being squashed like a bug.)
And what comes to the powerlevellers, they could be called barbarians, as they speak strangely and want just to kill everyone in sight. They could be teached manners by the advisors or anyone willing and thus make them civilised. That way even powerlevellers would fit the world. (For I haven\'t seen any RPG without barbarians)
PS: Powerleveling ruins lives!!
It\'s actually quite easy to find people\'s first posts from the members section, but if you consider it such a amusing sport you probably don\'t want to use it.
-
well duh its easy. hit search in thier profile then use the button that is 2 arrows facing right and you get to thier first post. easy squeezy. quite fun to read stuff like kierns and the generals. almost like time travel...
-
All hail me!!!
For start the NPc\'s should recognise different questions. In english u can use different questions to ask the same thing. Or make it that the NPC\'s just recongnise certian words. If somebody said the words \'want sword\' to you, you would probably assume they were asking for a sword.
Wow, I used to actually post proper ideas in the wish list. 8o
:P

Made on 05/09/2002:
Great site Alcapalis! Can\'t wait till there\'s more info.
My first post was complimenting the Planeshift.tk fansite. After that I started the Elven Order. But this was my very first official PS Forums post. [/COLOR]
-
they are offline now arent they? how were they able to use the planeshift name without violating the copyright?
-
it\'s a fan site, who will sue them.. http://www.planeshift.tk now links to kada\'s tavern.
anyways, my first post here was in one of those \"I have lag\" threads in technical help, posted my sys. requirments there too :D
-
Lol i was an heavy newbie, complaining about my problems. I remember especially one of them who was really stupid. Shame on me :D

Monk\'s First Post
Map editor + contest:
Ok, if you need a huge world (I know it\'s a demo but one town isn\'t enough) you could distribute a simple map editor. Then take map submissions and add the best ones.
Just an idea...
:)
I wasn\'t half bad as a newbie, as evident by my posts.
-
hah, yes, mine are really bad ;) (although my actual first posts were on the other boards) ..I didn\'t ask any stupid questions I don\'t think though, just lack of maturity (or more so).
Luckily though, that didn\'t last long...or at least I don\'t remember it :P
-
Mine is evergreen :|
Hey people! Don\'t be so sad. I can\'t even \"initialize directdraw\" with my radeon9600pro! And I could with my previous kyroII !!!

My first post was from here: Link (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=5853&boardid=18&sid=792715eeb0972b5c89b77fd16d15149f)
It was when OI was first announced to the public and the first time I looked at forums. Almost 2 months without looking/posting. :P

Not n00bish imo. And I said they were a guild to be reckoned with, but I hardly knew Kada was much of an oldie(time-wise at least; I don\'t know what to think after that long thread about \'Good \'Ol Times) Hehe, my next 2-3 were n00bish in a way. :P
But, importantly, not my first. :D

Backstab! :D
-
hmm, my first post was regarding some technical trouble, although I don\'t remember having any :P
-
The first post made by me that I can find is a post in the technical forum, helping someone out.. doubt that was my first post though, a cookie to anyone who can find my first post.
Ah, the good ol\' days... we could spam back then. Me, Xalthar and Tyger... you kids think you can spam, no sirrreee :P

umm...

From Miss_Moogie, my first account
Hey all!
This wouldn\'t be my first ever post if the bugs forum would let me alert the codies of the \'admin console\' hack. But anyways, ever being the eternal fiddler of files and such, I decided to do something useful now and create a skin.
Starting simple, of course. Seeing how it works and which files are used/how. I\'ve pretty much figured how just 4 skins create all those different skin/hair/eyes/clothes combinations... very clever, well done PS artists! :)
Now, on to the skin... I was a little disappointed there was no \'snow leopard\' appearance (yet), so, that\'s what I did. This is a female Enkidukai with snowy white fur and starry black clothes. It goes suprisingly well and looks just as good as those that come with the current PS release.
Click here (http://\"http://www.geocities.com/vmoogie/planeshift_skin1.txt\") for a screenshot, or
click here (http://\"http://www.geocities.com/vmoogie/FEnkidukai3.zip\") to download the file.
(Note that only you will be able to see the custom file; everyone else will see you using whatever *their* female enkid\' 3 file looks like.)
The file goes in C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift\\art\\textures\\races\\fenkidukai and overwrites the current Female Enkidukai \'3\' appearance, so back up your old file just in case. For the full skin, all relevant character appearances, meaning eyes, skin and clothes, should be set to 3.
If you like it, I\'ll create more, so throw me some feedback! :)
[EDIT: Fixed broken screenshot link... Geocities only lets you link to .txt files and the file was still a \'.jpg\' Silly me.]
[EDIT2: Damn, this forum is wierd. When you click the download link, the URL gets added to the end of Planeshift\'s. Just remove that first bit and click the remaining URL and it should work. Silly forum.]

How ironic. :) I am the single person I\'ve ever seen here to complain so much about the forums in my first couple of posts... and look where I ended up! :D

I\'ve also tried monitoring memory usage which shows you need a lot more memory than the 128Mb I\'ve got at the moment (Yes I know its not alot, I need a new computer).
Well my first post looks quite practical now.
HeHe and to think I\'ve still got that same computer with the same memory and now have very few problems!! :D
-
My first post was a reply to this thread: Hack and slash or Living (http://planeshift.oodlz.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=3404&boardid=13), and it\'s nothing n00b.
Actually, my first encounter with planeshift was on irc when I started bugging acraig because I was downloading a corrupted file from the server. Took me a while to figure out it was my motherboard going crazy with big files (> 50 MB) when using high-performance kernels.
I also bugged Vengeance for a few days (sorry) because I was getting errors when compiling cvs version (and all those who tried know it can take a few days before every component works well with the other ones).

20th of June, I made this first post, seems like I made quite an impact ;)
My First Post (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=4365&boardid=11)
No, its nothing like a tutorial. This is merely a method to give newbs the help they need when they first log in that doesn\'t spam the global channel. However, I\'m conflicted on how I\'d like to see it implemented, any clues? Well, here are my two ideas on the subject:
1) A global /newbie channel, much like /shout other then that can be turned on and off.
2) A /helper command that flags the current player as a newbie helper. Newbs then use the /newbie command to find an online newbie helper. This kind of system could even offer the possibility of a helper ratings and rankings.
Method 1 would be, by far, easier to implement, but more prone to abuse. Method 2 would likely be less prone to abuse, as the helping player has to go out of their way to flag themself; but #2 might be more confusing to the newb, especially if they don\'t have MUDing or MMORPG experience with /tell.
In fact, Star Wars Galxies will be using a system like #2. In contrast, I\'ve been on multiple MUDs with the /newbie command. So both systems have actually been implemented in other games, demonstrating their plausablity and appeal.
Notice how Number 2 seems vaguly familiar to this new \"adviser\" system in CB? ;)

Venge boy? BAH!! lol yes thats a pretty good first post grak.

My first post was regarding joining the AO (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=5622&boardid=18&sid=d9263e142460f689c25a4cb430b023bc&page=5). Boy, I was a newbie! And probably still am... A, what the hell! You can be a newbie only once in a life time!
-
Maybe i can contribute some good ideas to the discussion(and eliminate some problems with those).
What if unique/rare/magical items (or however you want to call those) can only be made by players.
In many games there are certain creatures who drop (by a certain chance) a rare item - this results in camping the location of the mob spawn most of the time.
Furthermore the crafter could have his name embeded in the sword (so that its recogniseable).
To make it more complex (and to prevent one geek from crafting his whole life to have other people beg on their knees to get special items) players would have to decide in what category they want to specialise. For instance you could only do ranged weapons or close combat weapons (etc.)
Also if you specialise in a category you are already skilled in (for instance an archer would do bow crafting) you would get better results.
Was a thread about crafting ... and the problems of camping a location to kill a certain mob to get unique stuff. And its exactly 1 year and 1 week old :)

Has anyone heard from link? hes kind of a dead member right now.. Anyone heard from him? his first post kind of implies he posted on the old boards too.. and also is there any way at all to look at the old boards?
-
His first post implies that he was new back then Links first post (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=781&boardid=1) .
I think he got banned but i am not sure cause i havent been around when he last posted. Or he got fed up with n00bs and he left (he really seemed to hate n00bs and their stupid questions).
Edit: Ok you convinced me that he is male :)
-
ahahah....hell no...and Link was banned twice :D
-
Link...as annoying as he was...it was kinda funny to have him around. Unfortuantly he got on the mods bad side...he used to be around Kada\'s Forums though.
-
He had his own forum with LAWZ for a while...
