Title: back... for a bit....
Post by: tygerwilde on April 22, 2004, 04:07:51 pm
{{struggles into thread on crutches, bleeding from sucking chest wounds, hacking and coughing}}

well, this semester has been a killer, but I think I\'ll survive. This has been about my first free moment since we started. on top of working something like 18 hours a week in class, I have one teacher that gives us a mandantory requirement of 15 studio hours a week and all of my teachers give  homework... good thing it\'s winding down for the end of the semester. The good news however is that while I\'m developing my technical skills, I\'m also opening up artistically. my more recent projects are more and more beginning to show my individual personality... I\'ll try to get some of them online sometime to show off

so, how\'s everyone doing? who here even remembers me?

Welcome back I suppose, even though I don\'t think I have met you before.

Ah, ID 34,244.  Those were the days...  *sighs in rememberence*

good to see you all too
it\'s questionable as to how often or for how long I\'ll be able to get on, i\'ve got three more weeks of this semester left, and I do have projects to work on, but it\'s not nearly as crazy as it was the rest of the semester was. at one point I had to do 22 sketches, a painting and a sculpture in under a week. Right now I\'m working on a culture project for my three d foundations class and a revisitation to Eschers \"hand with reflecting ball\" done in colored sections.

no cirque, I\'m not serious... ask any of the \"oldbies\" as icefalcon calls them, I hardly ever am...

the kids are great. Anika is almost 6 months, has cut two teeth and is crawling.  Dominick is 3 years now, is talking along with blues clues, counting to twenty in english and spanish, and knows his alphabet (ahh the wonders of educational tv and toys)

my ingame name is tygerwilde :)


yes I remember you hook, been a long while.... think we had a couple of debates... not sure, but I know I don\'t hold any grudges if we did. I like to argue sometimes.

nope, i don\'t remember any arguments either, i don\'t remember you in a bad light :] ...erm, could it be that you were helping with the TreeCastle project for a little while?

glad to hear everything\'s alright ...oh, and congrats on the kids ...it\'s been so long, i don\'t remember if Anika was born then already :(

Post by: tygerwilde on April 24, 2004, 09:38:03 pm
nope, she wasn\'t born till november. last time I was on here was like june I think.

we took nicky trick or treating at the mall, when we got home we went trick or treating around the trailer park and about two streets down dani started going into labor...

hmmm ...not the best timing by far, but as it seems everything turned out well ...congratulations on becoming a dad once again :]

hope to see you in game someday again - but don\'t neglect your real life for planeshift ...you seem to have quite a buch to take care off IRL ;)

Post by: tygerwilde on April 24, 2004, 10:01:17 pm

cal mentioned things changing, what\'s different, and what is the news on the game?

I\'m downloading now, so I should be on tomorrow sometime.

Post by: hook on April 25, 2004, 10:10:00 am
Yea, the next release is comming on (the one you\'re downloading is probably still MB ...unless you use CVS) ...it\'s called CrystalBlue ...we don\'t know when it\'ll strike us in the head, but it\'ll probably be really good:

- improved NPC AI
- in game shops and trading
- money
- monsters
- fighting system
- magic system
- skills system
- improved chat system
- improved GUI
- and i probably skipped quite a few other things :]

The game hasn\'t changed much, it is the community.. spies within each others guilds, hacking each others websites, empty lame threats.. me and others are pretty tired of it :(

wow ...didn\'t know the guildwars were that bad :( ...makes me feel a bit better not being in a guild.

but i did notice that there\'s more hack\'n\'slashers around that there was a year ago. ...well, i think things will improve anyhow  ...just have a litte faith, will ya :]

Post by: tygerwilde on April 25, 2004, 04:17:20 pm
they\'ve been working on Crystal blue forever. not to say I don\'t believe it\'s coming out, because I do, but I didn\'t expect it to be any time soon. do they have a rough date projected yet?

as far as the guild wars, I\'d heard about that...
spies suck

I\'m partly independant because of that. That and the fact that I\'d be torn between choosing a guild that performs activities that I like and joining one with my friends.

Yea, but the promise of combat is bound to attract them alot more than when PS was just a \"3D chatroom\". ;) It\'s inevitable, but, I think it could also swing back the other way in the future. Once the developers start implementing proper RP features, we might even get a balanced mix of all types of gamers, whether they be playing for hack\'n\'slash, roleplaying, crafting, leveling... everything.

...Heh, in an ideal world anyway. :P
Title:
Post by: Xalthar on April 25, 2004, 08:32:14 pm
an ideal world would be a world without n00bs, hack n\' slashers and anything even remotely resembling them.. but that\'s an ideal, and we\'ll most likely never get to see it.. true roleplayers are far and few between.

As to the guild wars and stuff, far from all guilds are involved, and even though there might be spies in these, they haven\'t fallen yet..
