I love all of you guys, I truely do. I just felt like bitching and from the looks of it, this thread will hold me over until the game is released.... No hard feelings...

On average the server has 20 people online (read that in this forum POSTED BY A MOD) so 49 who got on for lagfilled circle jerk isn\'t excactly celebration material...

You said it all for me Xlore...They do this game in their spare time, when they get around to it. More then likely they have jobs/lives. The difference with a subscription is the game BECOMES their job. This game has ideals and concepts that far surpass current MMORPGs. Some of the current pay games aren\'t worth a dick, this one\'s potential is too grand to get for free. Your right though, most MMORPGs pre-alpha is extremely rescricted. Of course its not rescricted to 20 people online at once- its close to 1000 people partaking in pre-alphas (this taken from Ultima Online\'s pre-alpha). This game would be lucky if 1000 people heard about it, let alone interested in it. My cry for subscription fees comes from my ability to not be even close to bankrupted by a pety 10 dollar a month fee. You are right, i haven\'t heard about the opencode movement, they didn\'t excactly plaster it on my everyday news sources. As for the time it took other MMORPGs to be built, im not 100% sure- Id guess between 2-4 years. That didn\'t start from scratch though, I\'ll give ya that. They also have full dev teams, what am i getting at you ask? That 2-4 year span is tripled for PS, IMO, from its progress since i\'ve seen it.

tangerine- I skimmed these boards and drew my own conclusions on the game\'s progress and future progress. Majority of the people here can not PLAY this game, not just those who can\'t even connect. By the time this game actually comes out none of you will remember me or my ramblings- so this would never have effected my reputation and popularity, not that I give a dick. I don\'t understand what facts I didn\'t supply-
1) Majority of people cannot participate in the game at this stage. Due to lag/errors.
2) 20 people are online at once, that is the limit at this stage.
3) My balls are blue with anticipation of this game.

1 and 2 alone are enough to say what i have said.

Keirn, I hear you my man. Please be aware it does process within the compounds of my memory banks. I had refered to this forum to ask a technical question in which there was no answer for. I noticed that right of the bat thanks in part to the large red blinking text radiating \"LINKDEAD IN HERE\". Then in what now has been classified as a \"!Drunken ramble!\", i unzipped, dropped trough, and let my ass talk. Yes i\'ll admit I was harsh, maybe even border line rude, but I can still can NOT (keyword being NOT) play this game. As Xal pointed out there is really nothing much to do as of now in the game. I would still like to get in and at least see what the game looks like. I read that only 20 people are on at once, usually. If they are this unstable at 20 people then I\'m forced to voice a general outcry. I could see 100, having such extreme difficulty with character creation (or worse yet, account creation), but 20 leads me to vent my frustration on what is probably the wrong board. Yet you will respond to this claiming me to be the a-hole clogging up a forum with a 20 something post thread with me only having 4 or 5.

Tangerine I admire your attempts to point out the obvious, very admirable of you. But unfortuneatly if I had to pass that same unfinished house for a year, yes I would question the work ethic of the constructors. I\'ve seen some of PS\'s problems worked out in a week with a fully paid/motivated dev team. Also I doubt its been in pre-alpha for only a year, if so and It was pure coincidence I came upon it at its birth, then I apologize humbly. Like I said in my very first posts \"Cant tolerate the games problems when I\'ve yet to play the game.\" any bugs I complained about were not the games minor bugs inside, it was the errors that don\'t allow people to even participate in the game.

Keirn why would I care If you care about me caring about you caring about me sticking around? It wouldn\'t be considered spam if you guys hadn\'t generated so many responses...

If I got in this game I would deal with any bugs/errors/problems I encountered with 0 scrutiny, but IVE YET TO GET INTO THE GAME- in a one year span (I know that seems like nothing to you who have been waiting 5 years for this game) of time that is just sad for a dev team. Sorry. Im pretty sure this is the first attempt to create a free 3d mmorpg, I just hope they come to their senses and start looking in to subscription fees.

No, no, people! She/he/it had every right to be rude- I had attempted to (in \"its\" opinion) tarnish the very foundation of a game in which \"it\" waits patiently to enjoy. I\'ve only experience minor frustration compared to those whom have sunken their nails into this game, so I feel \"its\" pain. Although \"it\" does not fully understand my quelm with this game. I seen it many moons ago when it was still in pre-beta aplha tango alpha phase three omega beta, now with much joy I re-stumble upon it. What happens to our fair narrator you ask? He is once again bombarded with asinine errors that don\'t even allow him to play (although the first time I got in and just couldn\'t play more then five minutes with out a crash, evenmore I couldn\'t move for those five minutes so I just got in, froze, then crashed). Im not gonna stand around and read the update page ever other minute for the \"Problem with the graphics melting horizontly and the blue screen of death popping up when typing the letter \"G\" fixed!\". Ima come back in 4 years when this game finally becomes a subscription fee game and is actually playable. I know, I know, You couldn\'t understand my poor punctuation/grammar and will respond with- PRE ALPHA spammed acrossed the screen.. Save it for the next guy who spills his frustration onto a message board designed to handle spilt frustration.
 If and when it is released in its completion, I hope to mingle with the likes of Xalthar- thank you for your clear minded rebuttles, they stiffled the horribly pessimistic voice in my head.

Thanks Xal, that is, well frankly my only option ATM. Its just I seen this game close to a year ago and it still hasn\'t moved.. whats that say? I waited patiently and finally decided to jump in and see if my expertise in online games could assist them, but in my honest opinion I think this game will never get off the runway. They fix the wing and the engine goes, its too unstable (judging from all i\'ve read). Im sorry, Im just willing to bet alot of you are going to be disappointed with you\'re wasted time and effort.... to each his own though... good luck all....

Ur logic sounds great in theory tough guy.... A) Bearing with them means dealing with problems WITHIN the game, not problems just to get in the friggen game. Cant tolerate the games problems when I\'ve yet to play the game. B) If we were in the 4th grade I\'d say something like my computer can beat your computer up, but we\'re not so i\'ll just say- my computer could run 5 versions of planeshift at the same time and still be downloading a 30 minute porno movie off grokster. C) I really understand and commemerate them for attempting to create a free MMORPG, but the linkdead thread with its 12 pages of error inflicted (as you would call us) crybabies proves why guys with less then professional programming skills can\'t create a MMORPG without charging a reasonably acceptable monthly fee (I\'ve played majority of pay MMORPGs and this one still sounds 3 times better then them). and D) Why would I came crawling back to an error infested heap of stress inducing graphical dung? Maybe if I got a taste of the game, I might be singing a different tune. Im just very frustrated having given this game the benefit of the doubt (Im always sceptical about free games) then having been jerked around with \"Welp its a problem we just can\'t fix!\" what is that? They call them problems, because they have solutions, in my opinion they are just saying ahh well the 45% who can\'t play don\'t deserve to play. I know for a fact the problem is not on my end. I mean no disrespect to the makers/affilates of this game, I really hoped to play it, but it seems im a casuality of this game\'s potential... Whoa is me, wah, and the whole nine yards... Move on me, move on... But i wanna kill things and level up.. no no no, thats not god\'s plan for you, go buy a first person shooter and be satisfied for 2 weeks. Congradulations to anyone who didn\'t say \"Damn this guy wrote a book\" and made it to this... the conclusion.. (and probably my last post if the mod\'s didn\'t like my tone).

I got me a few of your \"Cant really help it, so your screwed\" characters made....
Elevated
Hopefully
Linkdead
Notgonnawork
Ihateps

Thanks for the prompt deletion of them and thanks for the prompt attempts to fix this problem (end sarcasm).

Just so you know those are real chars, wasn\'t being sarcastic about them. I got a few more, but i forgot their names.

But after several linkdead characters (5 of which were created after doing all the supposed \'fixes\') I give up. 3 days of my life went into downloading, getting error, redownloading, annoying graphic problems that made it so i couldnt see anything but three gems-yellow red and blue, then spending all that time creating uncreateable characters.... For the staff of this game, you need to start actually working on this game and not just twiddling your thumbs.... I understand your trying to create a free game, I appreicate that, but its not a very free game when we can\'t play it.....
