Suggestion to Planeshift Staff

[ramlambmoo]

This is primarily to Dimaq, but also to all you whiney ungrateful people.

It\'s been stated a million and one times to everyone and their little brother that this Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game is completely free. It\'s also been stated that the developers don\'t get paid. With both those said, you have no dog in this fight. You are recieving way more than you paid for, because last time I checked, you paid nothing. And you still whine and gripe about this and that not being up to par.

Maybe if you paid them 10 dollars a month you would have a right to complain. But you don\'t, this is their hobby, not yours.

Well he did say he was happy to help in this department, so what are you complaining about?  You make it out that he was demanding that this be fixed, instead he was just making a suggestion as to how it could be made easier for players..  I think a good job is done on these forums explaining and providing solutions for bugs, and help for new players, however i think the website should point to the forums more directly- a link saying \"bug reporting / fixing\" and \"help for new players\" pointing to the forums would probablly make it a bit more evident that this is where to go if you need help in that area.  Maybe just renaming the \"Community\" tab on the webpage to \"Help / Community\" or something.  Its a bit hard to evaluate how much new players miss out the forums and stuff, because if they miss the forums then we dont know about it.  I like the idea of major bugs being posted, but id rather they spend time fixing them then updating the site.  But the guy did offer to help, you know.

I\'m certaintly not complaining about the game, and I understand that it is a free beta and is prone to having bugs and errors occuring. I am simply saying it could be a helpfull thing for the planeshift community to post bugs and fixes on the main news page of planeshift.it.

True users can search for problems on the forums, but I find there are numerous posts all regarding the same issues and often all of them have different solutions, some that work others that don\'t. I just think it would helpfull to post beta errors and possible fixes on the main page, instead of having to search for that \"hidden gem\" topic.

I don\'t see it as rude by letting people know that the updater is currently having problems, and providing a few tips as to how to get past the issue.

I was also under the impression this game was an \"open\" community where everyone has the opportunity to add their 2 cents to the game. This is my 2 cents, and I would be happy to work on the website if needed (I have lots of experience making web sites).

You may want to take a look at http://phpbt.sourceforge.net/  It\'s what we use to track bugs ( http://planeshift.oodlz.com/bugtracker ).

M8, for someone who claims to be so experienced in testing you seem to be terribly uninformed when it comes to the most basic way  of solving problems, judging from your other posts. :rolleyes:
Oh, and ditch the chatspeak, it sucks.
