Ow, and did i mention the pc is holy?
About the name 360
there seems to be a strange occurence in which the 360 costs 360? in the local pc store...

REMOVE THS NOW. I\'M SO ****** ****ED OFF AND I CAN\'T PLAY IN THSE ****ING CONDITIONS. I DEMAND THAT THIS BE REMOEVD AT THIS VERY INSTANT. AND YOU KNWO WHAT YOU QUIET LIEKLY LOST A RATHRE DEDICATED FAN. I\'LL COEM [L;AY AGAIN WHEN YOU\'VE FIXED THEN ****ING PIECE OF **** SO TI IS ACTUALLY POSIBLE TO PLAY NROAMLLY AGAIN.
Explanation:
Remove \"this\" now. I\'m so frustrated and can\'t play in these conditions. I wish \"this\" to be removed as soon as possible. You know that you quite likely lost a \"dedicated\" fan. I\'ll come back to the game again when more of the bugs are fixed, and I can play again under \"normal\" conditions.
1. What the HELL do you mean with \"this\"? Your post? Your Account? The Bug? Your brains? Planeshift (which is blasphemy to me, curse you! Ow, sorry, nobody said that)?
2.If you where a dedicated fan, you wouldn\'t be screaming and yelling to other dedicated fans.
3. Just put a bit of time into the game, and the conditions will be normal soon enough.
4. 90% change that you\'ll be banned, have a nice leaving time, I can\'t say I liked knowing you.

I\'ve got the newly updated updater build, and changed the active mirror to \"2\" instead of \"1\", gives about 100kb/s, (against my average with 600 or way more, but hey, it\'s way better then 2kb/s.)

Apparently, it isn\'t planeshift related (Found out it also happens during other games), which is a good thing.
but ths problem still is the same

Some spells that are supossed to be easy, simple, and work good as additions to the spells in the game now.
Crystal, Dark, Blue, Azure, Red and Brown.
Name: Claws of the bear
Way: Brown
Mana usage: Moderatly (15% of normal mana supply or so)
Effect: The Casters arm grows strong and though, an grows a claw instead of a hand. He gains a better attack and damage on unarmed attacks, but can\'t cast spells in any form during the spell
Duration: 30 Sec.
Other info: The strengt of the caster might be affected the same way, allowing it to lift bigger object, carry more stuff, heavier weapons, etc. Although that is more something for later in development.
Name: The unseen servant
Way: No idea (crystal?)
Mana Usage: High (50% average mana supply)
Effect: An invisible servant is summoned and carries stuff around for the caster
Duration: 1 ingame day?
other info: During script writing, please make sure that the items are tranfered back to the caster or the ground when the spell end, and don\'t dissapear.

It is very early to state these things, i know, but i still wanted to give it a try.
To start with 2 little stories stating my points:
Durin the dwarf just bought a load of coal and iron ore from a dwarven npc in the local mines named \"Mining Officer.\" He puts the ore in his backpack, and runs back to his forge. He starts melting and smithing ore.
/craft_smith_longsword
\"U just created a longsword!\"
/craft_smith_longsword
\"U just created a longsword!\"
/craft_smith_longsword
\"U just created a longsword!\"
/craft_smith_longsword
\"U just created a longsword!\"
Then sells the swords to the local trader/blacksmith \"Harnquist\" and makes some money, which he uses a part from to get new ore.
--------------------
The above shows how all the MMORPG\'s I know work, but how about this version:
Durin the dwarf went to the Market Place, he found a PC named \"Askantor Andorem\", who uses his ox cart to travel around the word trading goods. Askantor just has bought himself a fresh load of coal and iron ore from the PC miners at the local mine. Durin and Askantor negotiate on the price for a few minutes, and Durin pays an amount for the ore that is gives them both enough profit.
Durin goes home and fetches his wheelbarrow, and makes a few back and forth trips from the cart to his house to load the iron ore and coal in his shed.
He melts an amount of ore and coal, and poars it together in a rough mal. Then he starts smithing...
/craft_smith_longsword
\"Please select the design of the sword...\"
[an window pops open, with tenths of shapes and designs he can choose to make the different parts of the sword in. The higher his skill is, the more shapes he can choose from, and the shapes look \"cool\" and more refined, precise, better if his skill is more trained.]
During chooses a nice curved blade shape, a spiked pommel, and a standard grip shape.
\"Durin just forged a long sword!\"
Next he go\'s to the leatherworker, and pays hime some Trias for a peace of leather that the leatherworker fits around the grip, for some comfort.
Then Durin goes to the market place, looking for a player in need of a nicely crafted sword, or a traveling player merchant who will buy his sword, take it to the next village, and tries to sell it there.
-------------------------
And now for my points and statements:
At first, having loads of npc\'s buying and selling stuff realy takes the fun out of crafting, and professions as being a merchants. As many roles as possible should be left to PC\'s, this gives much more feeling to the game, and makes it a lot more easier to role play, what if durin got angry about the current price, attacked askantor, got arrested, and has to represent himself in a trial?. Not even City Guard roles should be left to NPC\'s, having a npc follow a script and attack the attacker isn\'t as much fun as someone attacking another person, and then trying to convice the novice of \"The Defenders of Freedom\" Guild that the other one attacked him instead.
Secondly, a game will get really boring if every longsword, leather armor, iron helmet, greenwood longbow, and bronze mace looks like any other item of the same kind. Only standard issue army weaponry look the same, all the rest is made by different crafters, and should thus look differently from any other weaponry. Crafters should have choices in how the items they make should look like, Durin\'s crafted longswords should look different from the ones made by his brother Dragin, who lives on the other side of the world. Same goes for stats: some crafters may want to make their longsword a bit lighter and faster, while other might want them to be more slower, bulkyer, crushing blades.
What are your opinions about these two ideas? Should planeshift stand out with a lot of crafting and roleplaying possibilities, or just be like loads of other mmorpg\'s?

it\'s solely on time.
First time I noticed it, I went afk during character creation and left my pc for a few minutes, when i came back I found it turned off.
(and no, noone turned it off)
Second time it happened while still working on my character (during the \"events happend in life\" screen.

This is more a \"wanted to let you know that...\" then a \"O no! I can\'t play the game!\" topic.
So the thing is, my pc crashes (withouth any error message) when i stay in character creation for more then 5 minutes or so. I solved the problem by simply creating my char in less then 5 minutes. I know there have been reports in the past of character creation failing when it took more then an x amount of time, but i don\'t remember anything crashing at the same moment.
System info:
OS: Windows XP home edition
Processor: AMD athlon 1,25 Ghz
RAM: 3x 256mb (768mb)
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 4 TI 4200
Video Card Memory: No clue, although i\'m sure it\'s enough
PS Client Version: 0.3.011
OpenGL or Safe Mode: OpenGL

no offence in any way, but:
seytra, not everything should be analised and captured in reasoning. Sometimes people just do random stuff, say random things, start random threats, withouth and logic in it,. Either just for the fun of it or without any reason at all. Neither are people supposed to always have a reason for doing things.
For the symbol: The book wouldn\'t happen to be a crafting guide to make pointy pants, would it?
Ahhh... The joy of chaos
*flips a coin to see if he will react to the next topic*
