Hi there, there were not so much time passed since I quit PS.
I tried a couple of other MMORPG, including: RuneScape, EUDemons, Conquer online, Wurm Online, Last Chaos, maybe more, just can't remember them. None of them was able to catch my attention for period of 10 hours or more.
So basically PS is the best.
Will wait for the next version before coming back :)

It is certainly fine that Cinerar is leaving, of course.  99.9% of our 340,000 have left. :-)

Leaving because of slow progress though, is a shame, because his expectations are so unrealistic.  This project has been going about 7 years.  Compare that to Linux, which is more like 17 years.  I just heard last night that php has *1400* registered code committers, just for the language itself--not for the projects using the language.

Now compare it to commercial MMO projects.  NWN2 had a team of 121 full-time people, according to the credits.  WoW had over 300.  EQ2 has over 150.  Most of these take 4 years or so to actually release client 1, so that is 500-1000 man-years of time in those games.  To get to what they have.

We have like 15 guys, working in their spare time so perhaps 25% time instead of full-time, so we are a team with less than 1% of the capacity of the commercial teams.  I think we have a game which is more than 1% of what those games are. :-)

Venge did you asked yourself why you have 340 000 accounts and only 15 guys working with you? 
Do you really think that only 0.0044% can contribute something?
And yes, you have done an excellent work, but hey, 3 weeks (for me) with gold working like moneymaking machine for everyone killing all my hopes to see a real economics here at this stage of development.

HiHo, was playing for almost 3 weeks (I think at least 150 hours), but decided to quit. Things are changing very slow for me, I hope that development of this game will speed up. But I want give an advice to developers, love your community and Be Interested in your community Grow and try to learn to use resources of your community (not only resources of Developers). I will definitely check back later, but as for now, it is too Alpha for me. I spent two weeks to make myself familiar with quests, "economics", magic, and maps of this game, I even helped quite a bit of new ones to start with this game as a member of "Vespers of Laanx". But suddenly I found that there is nothing more to research in this game for me and "economics" don't work I think this is the main reason I quit.
Thank you all for all your work.
Farewell and Good Luck.

Are there anything in BD that can attract players there except quests?  At least for now...

Wish list / Idea on Quests

Sorry for my English, it is not my first language.

I would like to ask the person who created quest mainly in BD area to login to the game and actually try to solve some of them without using commands like "teleport to Oja from BD" and "/die" and with END less than 100. This should actually help him to understand what are players experience from running over and over again on unpopulated maps. This should help him to create quests that involves less running.


Edit.
I want to be sure that this post is not considered like whining or complain. And I think that quests are good, not bad, but with current maps they are very boring.
