Uh, ok I\'ll bite. But you will get a full report, no an essay on how crapy it is if it sucks or lacks in the RPG elements department. :D

ive been playing for about a month now and just had to share, there is something like 100 classes and 6 races, also a few customisable classes as well,   the game plays very nicely, not too much lag for me, the server is constantly being updated with more hardware to reduce lag (lag is an issue) but its getting better, personnally i dont lag.  its basicly just as good as a pay per play medieval rpg, except that the world is only about 6 large zones. more zones are constantly being added and they never stop making them, so as long as people donate, the game will grow!!!  we need you to become a part of it!!

I played this game way way back in the closed beta, it sucked.

Though I bet it has changed a lot since then. :baby:
Title:
Post by: WiseKran on August 19, 2004, 12:14:29 am
its awesome now, like i said it has VERY deep char creation, the only qualms i have are that the charr models are on the cartooney side, but they said there changing them soon, any good 3d artists are being hired!

there is about 40 spells for each school, and 6 schools, if im not mistaken, hundreds of different weapons of every tipe, and even more magical items

omg...I remember looking at that game when it was p2p. It looked sooo cool. Has it really gone f2p? That awesome!

Hmm, check out the webpage title:

\"EVENTIDE.NET :: home of Rubies of Eventide mmorpg the world\'s only FREE massively-multiplayer game\"

They\'ve obviously never heard of Planeshift :D

Looks like a nice game, though... *downloads*

Post by: Icefalcon on August 19, 2004, 01:16:26 am
Erm, Im having troubles qwith the download...I downloaded what I thought was the setup (SutupRubies095.exe.torrent) but its only 31kb and it has that wierd extention.

Edit: Nvm, I had to download BitTorrent first :P

Post by: Monketh on August 19, 2004, 02:17:42 am
Question: Before I go there, you must tell me this: Does anybody actually roleplay there?
Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on August 19, 2004, 02:37:30 am
Hey, You and I will Monketh...go download it :P

There are several fre mmorpg\'s.

I can\'t beleive I\'ve never heard of this! Years of searching mmorpg\'s  and I missed this gem.

Monketh-Probably one or two.

Post by: Icefalcon on August 19, 2004, 02:49:27 am
Well, I remember when it was p2p when I was searching for a game. I even read through the FAQs and everything, but it was p2p...So I came to PS. 8)

Post by: XpYtZ on August 19, 2004, 02:49:42 am
OK this is me officially pissed that I cant download this thing without having Bittorrent. I don\'t want it, I dont like it, and I wont do it.
If they cant have normal download available maby, just maby, it is not worth it. I\'ll try one more time with my accelerators turned off but really. No com? carn
Title:
Post by: Seytra on August 19, 2004, 03:01:24 am
What I don\'t like is that the webpage doesn\'t work with plain HTML only. Bad design practice.
Cartoony Chars are also bad (if they change them it\'s OK). Preferred players are bad as well.

They are in the process of obtaining a Roleplay server that will have:
Strict naming requirements for new players
Limit to one char per account (to discourage muling)
Players MUST be in-role at all times except for OOC or HELP
Peak-hour GM Coverage
Limit of 60 players online at any given time (to start)

So those who want to roleplay will be able to. Also they are going to get a PVP server for those who want to be assasins and the like. I downloaded the game and can\'t wait to try it, but it won\'t let you register a new account right now.
Title:
Post by: XpYtZ on August 19, 2004, 03:36:12 am
Well two things, first I was trying that very link before and receiving all kinds of weird messages from my accelerator client. I acutally needed to turn it off to download it through the savage (err, terrible) windows client to get it.
Second I\'m sorry for posting in my rage. It looks to be ok so far.

Post by: WiseKran on August 19, 2004, 03:41:02 am

you can pvp in the form of dueling, where you both must accept the challenge, or you could backstab players who have full pvp settings enabled,

lol if you like to be a SoB

Wow. 383 mb? That\'ll stress the downloading time. :P
Makes it seem even more worth it though. Just have to wait until they get the registration part of the site working again.

Here is a link to the werbchat is you have any questions or wish to speak to some GM\'s

http:////www.cyberwar.com/chat/

This as a review of RoE by Mnemosyne, LLC,

About Rubies of Eventide:
Rubies of Eventide is a promising example of change in the MMORPG industry. As a second generation massively-multiplayer game, Rubies defies the ?Everquest? template by bringing back the classic strategic RPG turn-based combat, with a twist. Rubies unique combat mode is an ?asynchronous real-time turn-based hybrid combat.? For players this means planning moves strategically with more attention to tactical rather than split-second decisions. Rubies of Eventide has seven player races and over 100 starting professions to choose from. With this system, no one is ever locked into a stereotypical role based on his or her choice of race and can develop their skills in-game, however they please.

Featuring:
Unique turn-based strategy combat mode.
No racial limitations on any of the 7 player races or 104 professions.
A progressive skill-based advancement system.
Nonlinear quests that may or may not involve combat.
Parties with up to 10 players.
Switch between 3rd and 1st person perspectives.
A Faction/Reputation system that keeps track of your diplomatic relations with
NPC Factions, player-character clans, and guilds as well as your individual average reputation.
Summoned pets.
Crafting and Gathering skills.
Hidden zones and magic gates that respond to changing time and seasons.
Over 100 professions to choose from or build your own custom-skilled adventurer!

edit::: oh if you guys want i can log on and go to the Adventurers Guild museum, they have all the biggest and baddest monsters there, i can take some screens of dragons, scytherians, Trolls, and such and post them here so you can see what the monsters look like! brb with the screens

Post by: icebr4kr on August 19, 2004, 03:57:54 pm
I played for a little but couldn\'t really figure anything out. Too bad it is laggy as heck for me :(.

Psybur: It works under Cedega (WineX4) CVS on low settings (seems like high settings causes it to flash) :D
Title:
Post by: WiseKran on August 19, 2004, 05:01:30 pm
i hjave never had any trouble with lag, except that zone loading takes abvout 30 seconds :P  

please post more about your lag issues, im curious, and dont even say you lag if your on 56k, cuz its expected

nows the time for comments, how do you guys like it?
Title:
Post by: Moogie on August 19, 2004, 06:06:51 pm
Graphics are definitely sub-par at best, but I\'m intrigued at the variety of character classes and skills available. Not sure I like the idea of a \"realtime-turnbased hybrid\" combat system, but I\'ll not knock it before I try it.

*lols at the zig-zag water* Just curious, how old is this game?

Btw... what on earth is that character creator program? I really hope nobody expects us to actually spend hours going through 51 levels of development for no reason...

Hmm, should I leave EVE ... and play this? Hmm, nope :) Anyway, I knew it since was p2p. Good to see it\'s free now.
 Maybe we\'ll create a Planeshift Guild there :D
 Btw, since when is Romania is such a popular country? :) Every game I want to download ... every program, has a Romanian mirror. Hmm, not to mention Blood Rayne the movie will be shot in Romania :P
 Anyway ... that game ... guild ... :D

Post by: WiseKran on August 19, 2004, 08:47:46 pm
The water looks really bad because of the image qaulity... b4 i could host em i hac to convert file types like 3 times, dont ask why, im an idiot.      and personnaly the graphics are equal to most games except for new ones like lineage 2 and EQ 2,   i think the grafix r as good a PS, except for the cvhar models, those r the only thing i hate, but i can overlook them for a great game. if you get intot the game with a new char you create, follow the ramparts and go behind the archery practise area, you can see the water i took a screen of, it looks fantastic, you can see your reflection in it, and when the sun sets you can see it reflect of the water on to te walls and shimmer around, its just as good as any game you buy. well anyway, im not saying its better than PS or anything so dont start flamin me, but until CB release this is wut im playing.

or e-mail me  wisekran@hotmail.com

RoE in planeshift is bad enough but in this new game are you trying to spread the disease?
Title:
Post by: WiseKran on August 19, 2004, 11:28:27 pm
What disease? This is an incredible game Everyone deserves to know about. this is not a disease but a revolution...

      and DepthBlade, I would like to know what I have ever done to you? Every topic I start you must say somethings bad about, you always have something mean spirited to say about my sig, my guild, and everything about me.  please tell me why this is?


I like to believe there is a little bit of good in everyone.
Title:
Post by: DepthBlade on August 19, 2004, 11:45:47 pm
Your right there is good in everyone, its just to bad you will never see me show any good will towards you! I have answererd this question already in Private Messages that you have started!

LoL, I don\'t think we should make a PS sort of guild in RoE out of common decency. How would we like it if they made a RoE guild in PS?

DUN DUN DUN...

:D anyway, I\'m waiting for the download...stupid GS has Wait Time...

If I ever get to make a character in my lifetime, his name will probably be Zyphon.

Ortano - I\'ll try to contact you ingame...maybe we can save up gold and whatever that weird resource is for a guild..

[EDIT: Spelling and such.]

Post by: sashok on August 20, 2004, 06:24:59 am
I guess my comp didn\'t satisfy mininum specs :(
The game froze at the \"entering game world\" screen
and didn\'t continue.  My video card is 32mg so
maybe that\'s the prob.  Was gonna be an orc...
eeh back to Ultima Online :D
Title:
Post by: Zyphon on August 20, 2004, 10:37:29 am
Ok, I\'ve downloaded the game and my name is Zyphon. Last name Treeshadow. I wanted to combine sorcery with archery/throwing but no class existed...so I just took ranger :D

Ok, I also completed the noobie tutorials...and killed a goblin ALL BY MYSELF! *happily cries ;( *

Anyway..enough with my ranting ;)

How do you find ingame players? Or add to friendlist?

And how do you exit normally? there\'s no menu thingie..I have to use alt+F4 or ctrl+alt+delete...VERY annoying..so are the cartoony graphics..

/rant off
Title:
Post by: Shadowfax on August 20, 2004, 10:50:10 am
My Ranger\'s name is Shadowfaxx.  I too had a hard time in the beginning figuring out how to quit. You type /logout or /quit. The problem I\'m having now is that the Spell tutorial monsters won\'t give me a cert.

The games char creation doesn\'t let you see your char\'s hair too well. You don\'t really get to know what it looks like till after you made your char. Also the camera doesn\'t follow my char around well, and he makes wide turns. Is there a way to walk becasue he also moves to fast and it takes me awhile to make it through doorways and other narrow spaces. I don\'t think I will be playing this game too long because so far it isn\'t that great.

mea...not a great game but ok enough that i can play to kill off my boredom for a few weeks....
Title:
Post by: WiseKran on August 20, 2004, 01:24:55 pm
To walk you can hit \"x\" to run is the same, you can control the camera with all the keys on the numpad, 0 on the numpad is to swotch 1st/3rd person nad such,

you can also zoom in and out with the - + keys on the nupad if he makes turns tooo wide,  oh and about saving cash,

i went troll hunting with a lvl 47 and i got enough for 10 guilds!!! but i dont think i need to be leader, someone else shud have the responsibility,      

about a PS guiild, that is pretty lame, we can think of something else, considering there arent too many guilds, prolly only about 5 succsesfull american ones.

Two hours just seems very slow to me..  But I guess I\'ve been spoiled..  

If I ever manage to play this game, I think I\'ll break the Mirthful mold a bit..  :)

Lhoran En\'Elone has been reborn in so many worlds and again he is born into that of Eventide. Maby he will eventually learn how to use the channels after memorizing (printing) the inscriptions on the Tree of Cosmic Wisdom.
I look forward to finding you IG.
By the by, there does not seem to be much of a tutorial on the finer (bestiary and location) aspects of the world. I can always explore on my own.
What Time Zone you are in and when you are on would be good things to post as well.
I am in Pacific Standard, and while I won\'t be on this weekend I\'ll probably be on there around or after 4pm (1600hrs) PST which is +8 GMT on Tuesday and after; untill the game either becomes and obsession and I a Zombie in its clutches for nine hours a day or I become so underwhelmed that I return to my more recent obsession with pointless (non-RP) psudo games like Diablo-2 or Conquer Online.
I do have to warn everyone that while the game was playable there was no one IC while I was on. In fact the OOC and Help channels were the only ones that seemed to be in any use.
Monketh, DL the thing and save me from the lack of RP, Please!

{Shadow And I were on at the same time :?  I could hear him complaining about the dummy when I logged into it the first time. Did you solve that one because you need to wait till they finish their respective tutorials before they will die and drop. Oh they will die they just won\'t drop. Cheeky little buggers if you ask me.}

Since I am all abuzz about having something to pass the endless days till CBs release, and since I am in the process of porting a MUD to Video like what these folks did and the research is sooo helping, I thought I would help anyone that is an information hound like me with this handy dandy link to Eventide\'s WarCry site.

Post by: Waylander on August 21, 2004, 01:55:16 am
Yeah very nice Moogie

The way you people are talking about it the game seems to be a hack and slash type.  Go hunting now, go hunting later...
Title:
Post by: Moogie on August 21, 2004, 03:14:25 am
You\'re not wrong, Waylander, but fortunately it does have more than just combat to keep us pacifists occupied. :) Whilst leveling is the main source of skillpoints (and the main way to level is through combat), you can spend those points in craft skills such as tailoring, mining, smithing, etc. Or you could train yourself in camping for a quicker regen out in the field, scouting to help find NPCs and mobs, hunting to find rare items, and first aid to heal yourself without using MP. There\'s also a massive range of weapon-type skills, and a host of magic skills (plus \'spellcasting\' and \'focus\' which help magic %success and power).

Another thing I always like to see is the ability to customise armour. In RoE you can tint your armour for a small fee. Also each piece is seperate, so you could mix and match different armour sets and tint them to look unique to everyone else.

When loading into a new zone, it sometimes lags horrible to the point where it froze up on me ^^

Post by: Waylander on August 21, 2004, 03:17:28 am
hmm, sounds fun, altho I dislike the combat as main leveling up.  I would have CoD to keep the time but I just missed a clan meetin (just now lol) so, yeah I might get the game :P

All players=human?
different ways of magic?
Good quests?

Anyway, Im through the tutorial and got to level 2, where I died. I pretty much just sat there because you had to type something to ressurect yourself, and...I had no clue what it was. Someone eventually said it so I ressurected myself, but now I forgot again... :rolleyes:

this game isn\'t dialup friendly is no my book it sucks. :)

EDIT: Any game that isn\'t diaup friendly is totally stupid in logic because more than half of internet users have 56k. Until that day where broadband is like dialup than, that\'s a different story. Planeshift plays fine on dialup therefore it\'s more logical and inferrable that it will do better.

Unless \"availability to every single person in the world\" isn\'t the #1 criteria.  What about all those games that aren\'t available to people without computers?  What about games for which a dialup connection just isn\'t enough bandwidth to play the game?  Perhaps games like that shouldn\'t exist?  If that were the case, we would stagnate technologically as there would be no incentive to look for something \"bigger and better\".  Turns out that many new games aren\'t very Geforce2MX friendly, or Mac friendly.  Boo freaking hoo for me.

Planeshift *has* taken a very \"accessible\" approach, using a network design that doesn\'t require more than 56kbps, and running on at least 3 distinct platforms.  Hopefully, as Planeshift continues to develop through a very open model people will be attracted to Planeshift\'s unique qualities and thoughtful design, but the argument that a game which isn\'t \"dialup friendly\" is somehow \"totally stupid in logic\" is heavily coloured by an emotional response to not being able to play the game.

haven\'t played the game, read above somewhere :D

Bleh, you download 300mb of the internet, the actual game takes up 1 gig I believe.  Hence needing 1 gig free space.  Pffft, come on Moogie, get it right :P

Bwahaha, I am always right :D

*gives Moogie a cookie anyways* because you have to put up with Seperot :)

Two 70 gig hard drives? you have no idea how much I hate you :P

Still waiting on that one good reason for me to spend 1 gig on this game.

*pats his 250gb hd and smiles*

im only lvl 3 currently....i have too much rl crap to play at and semi decent rate :P.
Title:
Post by: Waylander on August 22, 2004, 12:19:22 pm
Seperot is lvl3 without much time to play eh

*goes downloads the game*

Here Seppie seppie seppie

Here Seppie Seppie Seppie

So yeah, I am downloading it, it better be good or you are all...quite the same things you were before.

Planeshift is still better, anybody leaves Planeshift for this game and they get bruises from me :P jks

...
...
...
Hmm, though it appeared all and good at the start...
Pros: f2p mmorpg, summoning well done
Con: preffered players, lag issues, disconnection issues, amazinlgy unoriginal, near complete Hack and Slash, few people have discovered the chat box, below average graphics, repetitive combat

In the end I would give this game about a 4/10 and would suggest that the publicize that it is beta because many of the skills are as of yet unavailable.

So, in conclusion, download if you have 125+ gigs, otherwise you are wasting valuable space.

Title:
Post by: Waylander on August 24, 2004, 11:02:55 am
Hmm, I decided the game was alright after all 5/10 = worth the time considering I have to wait for CB anyways :P

I need lvl 120 summoning in order to use the spell I just bought :P (summon lesser minion)

Anyways, what is going on with the guild idea?  Maybe not a planeshift guild but atleast a guild for planeshifters to join when they first get the game

Server:Pegasus
Name:Armeen Art\'lak

Contact me if you guys are still for the guild :D

Wooohooooo im back. its been awhile.

im in for the guild,  except i hope you know it is expensive to start a guild. and you should have a high level person for the leader.      

         hmmm..  this should be interesting.   lets go beg some L33T guy to be our leader!
Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on August 30, 2004, 01:37:06 am
I vote for Seperot...
Title:
Post by: Waylander on August 30, 2004, 02:13:22 am
Hmm for your sake I have decided that by L33T you meant level 33 tailor :)

Anyways, Seperot is an obvious choice, but I think it should be moogie (I just really want to see Moogie order Seperot around :P )
Title:
Post by: WiseKran on August 30, 2004, 01:42:30 pm
lvl 33 sounds high enough.  lol    

what lvl is moogie?       she\'s always snoopin round in these forums, when does she ever get the chance to play rubies. shes a good mod, but how will she be able to lead rubies guild, and her church of alathi and be a mod!? lol

well in any case i would like to design the website. in less anuone else has already taken that job :)  

as soon as you come up with a theme and ideals, i would be happy to work in partnership with someone, or alon on the website.

hurry up an come up with a name lol

the basic outline is i need 5 people and me in a party to go to the guild registry office and from there we can make the guild

im a lvl 12 rogue with 60 spear and 50 summoning as my main stats

i think shifter\'s guild works nicely but anyone who whants to join can put there idea on...or stuff...or not...:P

juh I\'ll say 9pm gmt time outside kaj blood keep....if im not there just hang around in game killing stuff...i wont be more then 30 mins late :)

Post by: XpYtZ on September 01, 2004, 09:21:02 pm
Uh...Ok...!?
I\'ll pass from that world when CB is actually out, since I have already been waiting (in expectance) one full year for CB and I am tired of playing crap games while I wait. At least this one keeps me ready for the LAG issues that we may encounter.

so your more happy to sit and play nothing while cb is still waiting to come out then play a fairly good game to pass the time?

Here is a recent interview with Jeff Grubb (http://www.mmhell.com/articles/interviews/rubies_not_ruined.html) (RoE\'s lead programmer) - by MMhell, Thursday, August 26, 2004

My favorite quote is:
\"As long as I keep breathing on this earth, I will do everything I can to keep the game running for all that wish to enjoy it as much as I have.\" - Jeff Grubb


And I\'m thinking, yes it can compete with planeshift.

Also, another competitor, GuildWars (http://www.guildwars.com), is coming along nicely, and they have their second world preview event scheduled for October 29-31.  
This is another MMO with no monthly fee, but you do have to buy the game.  I\'m really excited about this one.  It bares many similarities to Diablo II with none of the tedium of traditional MMO\'s.  At the vary least, give the free preview a look near halloween.

In the meantime, can\'t wait for the Rubies of Eventide (http://www.rubiesofeventide.com)  page to get back up so I can check it out.
Title:
Post by: WiseKran on September 02, 2004, 02:39:25 pm
Even when CB comes out i wont get rid of RoE, its always good to have a decent game to fall back on, considering i only play RPG type games and a little first person shooter. im just curious how large the world will be when cb come sout, and how many zones will be included. how many skills will be implimented. how can CB a tech demo, compete with RoE witch is nearly complete>? im willing to bet that the finished version of PS will be far better than RoE, but i think that since CB has been delayed for so long, were expecting a little too much from it. i don\'t want to be disapointed, so im not keeping my hopes up.

   having multiple games isnt too much of a problem considering i have two 120 gig HD\'s.. lol dont ask why

The Shifters Alliance:

Our Story: We come from a very different realm. A horrible magic accident in Yliakum opened a portal by accident and several Yliakumers found themselves in this strange new land with only a few vague memories of their previous homes. Their skills had all been wiped except for a few basic skills which were ingrained in our memories. The Yliakumers banded together, discarding old arguments so as to face and thrive in this new world.

However...The guild has several people trying to open a portal back to Yliakum. When it is opened (CB), the Yliakumers will return there once again.

And that\'s our story. Objections?

Obviously NewPie you havent explored rubies of Eventide or its members in the Slightest! had you known that there are massive roleplaying events in major citeis constantly and many guilds dedicated Solely to roleplaying, you would thing differently.   Contact Firesword of the Pheonix server if you wish to join there roleplaying guild, there are even prizes for best roleplay.

had you noticed there is an ENTIRE server for Roleplaying, the donations for that server didnt even take a week to reach far past 1000 dollars, I am happy to say that RoE has more RP than PlaneShift, due to its superior membership.

It angers me when people become opinionated about something they don\'t know about, because their opinions are what inform other people who don\'t know either.

And that\'s our story. Objections?


Yeah you are lucky I discareded the argument, Seperot :P me being level 3 and all

i like it except, why do we have to make a website an stuff if were there one day and then POOF we vanish!... lol   of to the wunnerful world of yliakum. so why dont me just make a group or something. seeing its already formed(i think)   i want to join names Ortano on PHEONIX wisper me if im evr on

Well some of us wont -POOF- vanish. It goes against my nature to kill a character that I am enjoying. So...Though I like the main story and it is fine for the rest of ya\' mine can\'t be that way, exactly. Lhoran exists in to many dimentions, and while this one is a straying from his old role of frendly, healer and herbalist, to a more devious sort, I cannot take this Lhoran into the world of Planeshift. There is the risk that he and his Semi-Dementional cousin may come into contact with eachother and cause a trans-dimentional rift that would take Yliakum and {insert name of RoE world here} with them.

:D

even when CB come sout i will not stop playing RoE, im curious to now how many people will still play RoE after CB is out?   perhaps later releases of PS will top rubies of eventide, but CB will not be able to.

Heh if you can stay connected to CB for atleast 30 minutes than it tops RoE imo

After playing this game for a day, I\'m beginning to dislike it.

- It felt a lot like Everquest--which I hate.
- Huge amounts of time and effort are needed to get anywhere in the game.
- Running away from a fight you\'re sure to lose seems like an impossibility.
- Stupid courier quests are present. \"Take this letter...\" [to hell!]  I am not your damn errand boy!
- And the zone loading times can kiss my ass.  I don\'t ever want to load another zone!

He uses some lame armor and acts as smartly as zombies do.

i want to join, but. early in the morning at about nine. i met moogie in game and we hunted wolves :) but she said where she is it is afternoon. that explains why i keep missing seperot and all you guys when i log on. i live in the USA ney york to be exact. its kind of a bummer,   so let me know when i should log on...
Title:
Post by: NewPie on September 08, 2004, 08:25:53 am
Hmm. Isn\'t there time difference of 5-6 hours between New York and ..England. I usually see Sepe at 00:10 or so but I live in +2 zone so its 22:10 for him. So it could be 15-16~ for you.
Title:
Post by: WiseKran on September 08, 2004, 02:05:47 pm
does england go by a 24 hour clock?

well anyways, moogie was on when i was in the morning, she said most people would come on in a few hours, prolly around noon for me,   so if its noon in New York, what time is it in England?   the majority of you guys live in England?


this is kind of interesting b/c i always wanted to see england. Whats it like over there?

edit ----I regret to say, that i wont be coming back to these forums for a little while... someone very close to me died this morning, unexpectedly.i feel so alone, . . . and empty inside. my sig kind of represents the mood im in. ill see you guys later.

I had a warning when this happened to me so I can only imagine what it feels like, may I ask who it was that died?

PS: Meh, people will tell you the second year is the worst, it is a different kind of pain though, not nesesarily(sp?) worse :)

Of course everybody will use a 24H clock, it\'s the best system (of course, it\'s french !) and you\'ll soon all use the metric system too, why ? because it\'s the best one ! (of course it\'s a french system :) )

PS: I just can feel sorry for you WiseKran (sorry I dont know the dedicated expression in english ... )

1.  Don\'t go on about France, had a french teacher who did that everyday, got mad at him, go a bunch of info and made him...sad :P  (shouldn\'t talk cause I do the same for England...but then, England is the best so...haha :P )

The person who died, was my very best friend in the world. everything was normal, until i got a phone call. one phone call, and he was gone... i nvr even got to say goodbye. he was like a brother to me, even more important than my parents or family. always there, you know. i have other friends, but there not the same. no one will ever be the same. im only 14 and he was too, so it was a huge surprise, damn car accident. if i could strangle the guy who hit them i would. but now its too late, its over, and he\'s gone.   i feel so empty. i have no1 left. i couldnt even bring myself to go to the wake.
its good to be getting this out here, even though i dont know you guys

well, im getting of topic. thanks for caring

however my gloomy sig will remain, as a tribute and memorial to my Dearest Friend, i wont give out his name for family purposes.

welcome back bro, it\'s nice to see you online again. Oh yeah I haven\'t tried Rubies of Eventide and I probably won\'t just because I don\'t feel like playing it but since its free I guess...

But rather wait for CB and do other stuff with The Blitzers and Followers of Aliathi.

But anyways just again nice to see you back Wisekran...

I think most of us are on the Phoenix Server. I hate servers. I don\'t know if this is possible, but could PS\'s servers have a character \"web\" of sorts like runescape (Gah...) So we have the same character on all servers. Having 3 servers like RoE would really split this community, dont you think?
Title:
Post by: XpYtZ on September 17, 2004, 10:31:20 am
I think that was mentioned in another set of posts, in another place...Anyhow.
I am saddened to read bout WizeKrans loss. My heart goes out to you, I have only lost about three people and none of them were really all that close. Family members and all but like grand parents and the like...No wait I did have a friend commit suicide when I was like 13 but that is far different from a car accident.

I live on the west coast and work all evening. So I never get to see anyone that playes RoE anymore. I did finaly find a job though. I have been looking ever since I came back from a five year stint in Mexico. Man the US job market sucked me dry. In fact, I have been looking since shortly before I joined the PS community.  8o
I would like to know the GMT that everyone is on as well so that I can actually find some of you over my weekend. I warn you though. I got a little discouraged and left my character sitting all by his lonesome for about the last two weeks. He is still probably at, like level 6 or 7. ;)

PS servers will be woven together seamlessly to create one single world. So it won\'t matter how many servers PS has, it won\'t split up the community. :) Yay!

Ok, sorry, but i dodged this thread like Bush dodged the draft... so if someone would be kind enough to tell me the \"in RoE\" names of the the PlaneShifter s that play there.

I am \"Smertnik\" the Necro on Pheonix, and \"Svarog\" Peguses.

New patch for RoE coming out, from what i hear it will include new monsters new mobs, a new zone or 2!! and perhaps some new NPC\'s and quests. this will indeed be a Huge improvement to the game. i cant wait.  the servers have been down for awhile now *wonders what there doing* .. just a bit of wishfull thinking

Yeah, I was trying to log on earlier... but don\'t get your hopes up, its most likely nothing. Eh anyway, this game has been getting better and better for me. Once you get to know the people, it can be really fun. I guess I have just been deprived of an actual game to play since I became a Planeshifter... bleh

There is a PlaneShift guild on the Phionex server, with Seperot as the leader.
There is not, to the best of my knowledge, one on the Pegasus or Fireopal servers.
I still don\'t know the time zones for the rest of ya\' all. I think I know Moogie and Seperot\'s respective zones, but WizeKran, DepthBlade and the rest of you are big question marks.

(?)

Could ya post them fer\' me? Or better yet PM them, if it is personal and confidential information that you don\'t want getting out :)
I am in a -8 GMT zone so if it\'s 0:00 GMT there than it is 16:00 here.

Yup, Wise, you are GMT -5 too.

Ive got a couple questions.

1) As a druidic wizard, I havent focused on armor at all, and my unarmed is at lv 10. So I take alot of damage. What would you suggest I do? Also, does unarmored help, even when you have armor on, just simple cloth armor?

2) If I add more MP to my spells, does it increase my chance to miss? In other words, as I raise my spellcraft, will I need alot of focus as well to hit with my higher mana spells?
Title:
Post by: WiseKran on September 27, 2004, 01:57:30 am
as far as unarmored goes... i dont know i have a caster and i have acolytes armor, you should get some of that... ask around im sure someone will sell some to you or something.

if you have alot of spellcraft and you raise mp cost it only decreases your success rate as far as i know, but in case you didnt know, if you are encumbered more than half your encumbrance than you have low success and miss alot.  range is a big factor as well..

you can check encumbrace in the equip screen

You guys have Larn?! Geez, I only have few coins anymore, but I do have a crap load of stuff that some guy gave me. All my magic skills are plused like 20-30 now. :]
I am a little bothered that I can never find anyone though. All the PSers that are in the guild are MIA when I am on. *Slaps his table* I am still having fun though, as long as I don\'t try to zone back to Kaj Blood. I always bomb on that one.

I have just started playing and this game hasnt really gotten off to a good start with me. I feel like I have almost no control over my character, especially in combat. It seems to be easyer to hit a target with a bow at long range rather than short.
But other than that it seems pretty good. No idea what I am doing most of the time though.

Combat is the most annoying thing in this game though :(
Title:
Post by: WiseKran on October 13, 2004, 01:16:04 pm
it gets much better, and yes if you are too close you bow is less usefull, put more skillpoints into focus.

also in combat if you hit f2, or click on the targets name it wil atack for you, f2 is auto attack.

But other than that it seems pretty good. No idea what I am doing most of the time though.

Combat is the most annoying thing in this game though :(


Well... At least the mobs actually SPAWN!-lol

Well I dont know, I\'ve lately started with Anarchy online, which totally rocks and is free for some time now.

But looking for RP in AO is like looking for a needle in a hive of hay ---

It has good concepts and lots of promise, but they decided to abandon it and leave it half-complete. Combat is annoying at first but you get used to the unresponsive and clunky controls after a while. However, the novelty soon fades away as you realise there\'s nothing beyond repetitive combat, crafting, and the same 4 spell effects played for every one of the 100+ spells in the game. I wish I was joking. Coupled with the fact they have, what, four servers now? And barely 100 players in the lot of them; meaning the world is barren, lifeless, and lonely.

I had fun back when I used to play... for about a week. I think you\'d need to be a die-hard levelgrinder fan to get any longer enjoyment out of it.

I want to say something defensive..   but im too lazy to think of an intelligable response.

try it..  dont just say it sucks.   its not for everyone.. but It was actually the only RPG ive ever played that felt like it had a sort soul to it.. I really appreciated it while i played.

I\'ve been playing it for approximately three days now, and i have to admit I prefer Planeshift (when i can log in. ~_~)

For the moment, i\'m enjoying it in small doses.

My characters are

Phoenix : Grindalyx Zelenolist

Halberd : Aetharon Talmera

Give me a shout if you ever see me online. :)

Also, combat isn\'t the only way to gain levels, it\'s just the fastest.

You can also use the crafting skills to do so (if you can afford it and have the patience for it) as the DP you gain from crafting doesn\'t have to be spent on the crafting skills (since they slowly increase through use).
