General Discussion / Re: You Might Be An Oldbie If...
« on: March 18, 2016, 08:47:45 am »
If a mug was your most prized possession since they only spawned once after a server crash when upon login, the world was littered with items.
If you remember said server crash.
If you used to camp one rat that gave rapiers as loot together with 10 other people, taking your turn looting (or was it sabers?).
If you spent a lot of time, outside the map looking at the lights of Hydlaa from that "hilltop" above the arena.
If you participated in those tournaments in the arena hosted by Proglin.
If you argued at least once with Zanzibar :p.
If you remember the Protectors ^_^.

As a side note, I'd like to say "Greetings" to all the olbies that after so many years seem to be still around and to express my gratitude towards the developers game masters and players that managed to keep this game going for so long and improved it. I had fun here, and I'm happy to see "here" still exists.

PS: Drey, that shortcut to the catacombs! Dat jump though...

General Discussion / Re: get paid to RP
« on: April 09, 2008, 03:55:28 pm »
Hmm... get payed to RP...
I want to ask you, why do you play a game? Any game.
For the loot? For the currency (trias in this case).
In my oppinion you play it because you (the person behind the character) enjoy it.
Of course, you feel some inner joy when you happen to find an incredibly rare item, or when you make a certain ammount of ingame currency but those are some of the reasons behind the game being exciting for you. And if you think about it... here's the bad news... the loot is only pixels. So, I guess it is not the loot that makes a game worth playing, it is the feeling you get while playing it.
Ok, so my point is: You play the game for a moral reward that is in some cases related but not strictly to pixels.
On the other hand, you get the same reward when you RP. You meet people, you have fun with them, you have fun being inside the skin of a character that you try to role play the best you can, in short, you are enjoying the game.
So, why would you need pixels to feel enjoy something that is enjoyable anyway?
If somebody doesn't enjoy RP, you can give them all the trias in the world and they will still not RP. Or they will do that for the trias and they will suck at it.
So, IMO, we should leave RP to those that like and want to RP and not force it by making people do it, or by giving them rewards. RP is a reward by it's self.

Hearing the disturbing news from Zorbels, Eolius doesn't know how to react at first. He soon regains his self-control and summons a guild meeting, sending his faithfull grofel to every Protector to cary this message "Everybody who shalt recieve this message, shalt summon at once at the gazebo behind the Laanx temple. Dark times are upon us, my friends, as one of us is in danger." Heading towards the gazebo, from Harnquist, where he was when he recieved the message, he was thinking with a woried look on his face "Blood will spill for this. I can't let this deed go ignored.", slowly feeling his warior blood starting to boil inside his veins.

Forum and Website Discussions / Re: New forum Feature: Karma
« on: October 05, 2006, 06:51:51 pm »
IMO this karma thing should be reserved only for certain forum members. I saw this type of system on a forum, and there, you could give karma only if your humble self possesed a certain number of karma points. Initially the karma points were awarded by forum moderators or admins. But well... we have a new toy to play with :P

I will be happy to help you with tours, since that\'s actually the usual way Protectors like to help newcommers. So feel free to ask any Protector for help if you have somebody that wants to see the wonders of Yliakum knocking at your door.

Sorry, i didn\'t ment any attack on Anfa as Sreamah seems to think. My point was that she reacted totaly off topic.
Oh, and btw, try t0 sp33k n0rm41 eng11sh, Sreamah, using \"u\" instead of \"you\" and the \"y\" instead of \"why\" isn\'t going to make your point clearer or your post worth reading. Please do not consider this an attack too, just a sugestion.

Thank you Karyuu for setting things straight in this thread because it was going waaay off topic.

(This post is also of topic and i don\'t mind if it gets deleted but i had to set things clear and apologise if i offended anyone.)

Edit:

/me points to the post below
True, i exagerated a bit when I said I didn\'t saw ANY constructive criticism. Thank you Zorbels, thank you Pacer, and thanks to everybody who offered us some feedback, that was and is always welcome :)

 Funny that nobody see it the same as you. I see no posts sustaining your point of view. \"Council\" doesn\'t imply that \"we are elected from the people of a town\", the word \"council\" actually means \"-A formally constituted advisory, deliberative, or administrative body. (Origin: from Latin \"concilium\" = convocation, assembly)\". Unless those that wrote the Oxford English dictionary know less than you...     Oh, btw, the colours of your post are nice though...

 Sorry, I have been letting my views be known in game...didn\'t realize you wanted me to post them here..     If you want me to post my objections to SCoY in this thread let me know...     Anfa waves at Janner


If you re-read the whole thing you\'ll see that the definition of the word \"council\" was discused there and what i ment was that Janner got that definition confused.
The fact that you agree with Janner and suport his \"objections to SCoY \" wasn\'t the point there.

Edit: As a conclusion, unrelated to my words above, I wonder why, everytime somebody tryes to build something, there will be some narowminded person, or a group of people that tryes to destroy things. You don\'t like SCoY? It is perfectly fine, don\'t join. SCoY, unlike what some people want to think, will never interfere with you. If at some point we\'ll cross paths, there will be no action taken for you or against you, just dialogue. SCoY isn\'t ruling anybody and SCoY isn\'t trying to destroy guilds or individuals (like some people using alot of exclamation marks want to think). SCoY is just there to try and mediate conflicts. It has been stated before in this thread that those posting thoughts against SCoY are doing \"constructive criticism\"... Well, the form of constructive criticism is \"1)I don\'t like this\", \"2) I would have done this if I was you\", \"3) This is my ideea to fix things\". So far i\'ve only seen threats and stuff like \"I don\'t like this\". But not a single ideea to improve this organisation. So, please, be constructive because that is the difficult part.

 I am sorry for the GM to have been put in such a position.

  I don\'t see why you are so desperate to get my support; after that stunt, NO.


 This color is to show how low I feel you have sunk to get your way, and I won\'t bother posting in this thread again.


Nobody is desperate to get your support. We just want you to come up withsome REAL, CONSTRUCTIVE criticism if you are able to, or if not, to stop analising every word on the scoy website and interpret all the sentences there so that you can get something to trow at us.

/me points to the post above and quotes \"I won\'t bother posting in this thread again.\" Hehe, caught you.

@Anfa If you really think that a council is something elected by the people of a town, learn some english ;) (i\'m not a native english speaker but i know that the aforementioned isn\'t the definition of the word \"council\" )

/me joins Zanzibar (unbelievable...) and starts eating popcorn.
I\'m really sorry to say but this thread has gone beyond the limits of immaturity and it is degrading into stupidity. With all the threats, the \"!!!\", the \"#@$%\" and everything it is starting to prove that whatever your good intentions are, there will be always someone \"smart\" enough to accuse you of something. Also, I think this thread should be closed because it is going nowhere. Well... sort of nowhere... At least we find something interesting about some people. Wish I could say the news were pleasantly surprising...

Dear Janner, i think you overstepped already the limits of constructive criticism. I stated it before and I\'ll say it again, you are clinging to questions of SEMANTICS. It is very clear that you don\'t like us. So what? Leave us alone then. I think this thread has already gone too far and people are always obliged to answer your unfounded questions about us.

 this from your History \"Guilds of the highest caliber were carefully chosen\"
Implies only those considered by you the SCoY to be the best. Is at best misleading.


Who do you think that should have chosen the guilds that were invited the first time? God? You? I don\'t think that you can come up with an answer to that question. Read some philosophy. There is no absolute objectivity, so you are confronting us with a paradox. We can\'t be objective, yes, but neither can you or anybody else.

Yes, we will discuss things \"NOT just for your Council member guilds\" like \"Hey, this guild is waging war agains that guild. Let\'s see what is our position on that matter and let\'s send a delegation to the leaders of those guilds to try and stop this war.\"
Correct me if I\'m wrong but i don\'t see that as being a problem. We don\'t TAKE decisions instead somebody else and we have no power of doing that.
