How long do you think we should wait?
« on: June 06, 2005, 12:53:18 am »
I think that Planeshift is a really great game.  Nice graphics, ok gameplay, etc.  However, I ask you, how long should we wait for it to finish.

Right now, it\'s still preety lame.
1) Only 2 cities so far and 10 min. to walk between them!
2) Basicly nothing to do! Quests are down. Wipe coming up so what\'s the point of training.
3) They\'re getting bugs all the time. How many times will they have a wipe. The bugs may just come back.
4) They only have very few skills that are good. How long will it take at this rate!
5) Nowhere to go! Doors can\'t be opened. Chests can\'t be explored, and as i said only two cities that take forever to walk between.
6) And I could go on and on listing problems.

So, how long should we give them to make the game good enough to play? I believe it will be great someday but maybe we should play something else and come back later. Maybe it would help if we donated money to them perhaps.

That shows quite a bit of ignorance about the workings of Planeshift ;) It doesn\'t matter how much time \"we give them,\" \"they\" will go on creating Planeshift at \"their\" own pace. If you\'re tired of waiting for new features, feel free to leave. No one is keeping you here. By all means, go do something else. Many people play other games as well, myself included :) But I don\'t really see what the problem is, as you\'re not paying for this game. And there are _plenty_ of things to do in Planeshift right now, too. I think you\'re missing the roleplay aspect of it, which is the centerpoint. So I don\'t think suggesting that \"we\" should go play something else before the game is \"done\" is a good thing to do. A lot of us are here for the community as much as the actual game, if not more.

It is also a misconception that they are in need of donations, or that donations will speed up the work - they won\'t.

Oh noez! We really do suck! Oh, please please give us more time to please you, oh lord and master! Before you came along, Planeshift was just a casual fun hobby, updated daily at our own pace as we work for free for the pleasure of thousands of strangers... but now it has a dire purpose! We might aswell just go and kill ourselves if we can\'t meet YOUR divine deadlines!


I have no regrets. *jumps*
