i deleted said file Bluefreeze.wav and then ran patch and it downloaded the bluefreeze in caps, so then i changed the file to lower case and ran patch again and it simply updated file to the capped version, but i suspect it should be in lowercase as the rest of the colors listed are all lower case .

edit: after i ran patch , although it said updating it, its now still lower case in my files.

what this means, i dont know

some rpgs ive played set up classes and some allowed free form character creation, one thing i noticed is that in free form we all had extensivly flushed out character concepts, while class based games were more of a \"lemme get in this ranger bot and put my seat belt on and away i go\"
for serious roleplay a free form point based system seems almost essential and im glad this game chose that direction.
think of meeting 10 people in game and all 10 having different skills. that to me is as awesome as the dali lama stoppin by for tea.

\"As for less freedom etc. Yes, to increase security we have to give up some privicy.\"

if privacy was all we were talkin about then id say open the blinds and keep me more secure.but what we are talking about is the presidents ability to now remove the citizenship of any single citizen based on nothing, absolutley nothing, then once thier citizenship is removed they are up the creek and canb be detained forever. well only until death would be more accurate.
    mind you im a hypocrite as my wife works for the department of homeland security so my rent is paid thanks to  all the new legislation here in the great old USA.
  about the police in the UK: of course they killed the guy because of the recent bombings and of course that means the terrorists attacks were effective. there is no way around that. if people could truley just not react to terrorism then it wouldnt be done.
 no i dont think we should have taken out iraq as a warning to the world, and no i dont think the patriot act is anything but the begining of the end. but the sheeple voted yes, and the sheeple never even questioned.
  this very debate is a sign of the effectiveness of terrorism  and also perhaps a sign for more authority. people want to be lead, they just dont want to be tugged too hard by thier leash.
      perhaps thats crude of me to say, or insensitive but the whole world hasnt gone mad, its gone soft.
      example? and this one is a win for the french:

why hasnt anyone asked where the jetliner that hit the pentagon is? where are the pieces? why was the hole so small (before the roof collapsed the hole was about 16 feet wide  and 30 high )  

i can really stir things up and ask why the new york jetliners didnt have windows, what was the flash before impact seen from 4 angles? why didnt they ever show frame by frame footage even though they show frame by frame of kennedy\'s head coming off?

people spend all day arguing over reaction and it makes them totally over look and take for granted the cause.

i love my country , not my leadership but my country.
i love ideas, concepts, and i pay attention to detail in order to preserve that concept. my leadership hates people like me even to the point of saying :      
\"let us not tolerate outlandish conspiracy theories that pull the blame away from the real peratrators of these terrorist attacks\"(thats a memory quote)

here is where i swing a 180 again

dont blame my cops or anyone elses cops for overreacting to a situation like some perp in a longcoat dashing away into a crowd. the are the true public servants trying to protect. they dont get any extra power from things like the patriot act, they get extra responability.

and stress

this thread had alot of statements that i considered cop outs, like saying that you wanna roleplay a power  hungry warrior and thats why you power level. we always threw those types of people out of table top games, after we had their character killed off in some enjoyable way. of course you can play a power hungry vain perfectionist in a online rpg, and i dont think that means you have to be a power gamer. i had an all gnome guild in eq that were gnome supremists. none of us ever made it to high lvls because we marched around spouting gnome supremacy doctrine to all those that would hear us. man oh man those were the funnest days i can remember.
roleplaying is part of story telling. if you remember anything remember that. anyone can create a backstory for thier character. it doesnt have to be done as a book. you just think of something you consider clever, then add to it as the situation seems fit. i went back to playing eq after a 4 year break. i powergamed my old characterfrom 51 to 56 in a month on the weekends, then i got burned out by the old lvl gear lvl gear dilemma that made me quit in the first place.
any powergamer that really becomes introspective says the same thing. \"i got max level and then wondered what the race was all about. now i have nothing really new to do\"  the developers of this game have impressed me with the straight talk. to say you dont want power gamers is kinda hardcore since they make up a large base of players. but the limited history of mmorpg\'s has shown they not only suck the game of bandwidth but they travel to the top on the backs of all the gamers that are in it for the fun.
maybe thats a lil melodramatic but still, there are a ton of games nowadays. they are gonna start to cater to individual sects of people and im glad to have found one thats pushin roleplay this strong. and no mmorpg needs all the game code to be aimed at roleplay. We The People should be responsible for most of that burden. do guild events, races, drunken brawls... then move up to elaborate player run quests and schemes to entice the new roleplayers into interacting. and thats the key i think, interact with everyone.

Developers, if you wish to implement roleplaying code here are some simple ideas:
implement things that can flush out character concept....
such as... limping models, lazy eyes, tons of regular clothing, and looping emotes so i can make a character \"twitchy\"


oh and maybe a humpback
