Bah, if I see Akkaio one more time...

[Suno_Regin]

I\'m an Enkidukai, I fight a lot, I die a lot...and guess where I get to go when i die...AKKAIO, I have to run alllllllllllll*gasps for air* the way back to the arena from there, and then by the time I get there someone will probably steal my kill with the freeze spell and a gladiator doesn\'t stop attacking me and kills me, but I can\'t attack it....but the point is, I\'M TIRED OF SPAWNING IN AKKAIO, I have started forgeting what Hydlaa looks like, and me spawning in Akkaio all the time loses its role playing aspect, by the time I get to Hydlaa somehow I die again (probably my dueling habits ;) )

Someone please, PLEASE, make Enkidukais spawn somewhere closer to Hydlaa, Akkaio is taking out the urge to role play within me, and soon I\'m going to have to stop fighting just in fear of an hour walking through the hills of Ojaveda...

[Ralas]

So you\'re saying that death is inconvienant?  Hm, maybe you should put a stop to those dueling habits, then.  The point, I think, is that in real life you would not go around challenging everything you see, nor putting yourself in constant danger.  That is not RP at all.  The truth is, making death even more of an inconvienance will make you consider your actions more seriously, thus encouraging better RP.

[Karyuu]

He is not talking about dueling, Ralas, but fighting the monsters that roam around the Arena.

[Keyaz]

I could always stick you to the ol skydome instead, and if you manage to get unstuck from that and through it you have a nice few thousand meters to plunge to your impending doom

be grateful for what you have

[ramlambmoo]

Yes, well this does suck a bit at the moment becuase the monster spawn points are mostly located closer to Hdylaa at the moment, but im sure once more areas are added to the game it will become more balanced.  For now you\'ll just have to be a bit more careful and not die, I suppose.

[Kixie]

Well hey here\'s an idea. Perhaps, you should be more carefull who you fight? Perhaps you should take time and instead of running into battle, take the time to match yourself against a monster that can\'t kill you.

I mean honestly, would you be so careless in real life?  

[rosmerelmer]

why do you all keep talking about \'real life\' the reason we play games is because it\'\'s not real life!

Because the point of PS is to be realisitic That\'s what it says in big letters on the site.

And if you find it annoying that you spawn in akkaio after dieing... good Death will become a whole lot worse than that in the future :evil:

[Pestilence]

Well one I do think it\'s realistic when death isn\'t convenient. But I don\'t think that is the issue here.

The point is ONLY enkidukai spawn there and so it\'s unfair that the spawn places are so far away compared to everyone else.

It\'s not very realistic that death is inconvenient for one race and not for the rest.

[Kias]

Why, do you know how many Enki\'s there are? It should be good for both:

a) Enkidukai can meet and populate and ENKI town, thus adding to realism.

b) The rats in the warehouse are great for newbies. If you want tougher monsters, take a stroll out of town...not too hard

I think the problem that is being referred to is that the monster spawning place that matters (the arena) is so far away.  This is because the loot from the arena is much much higher than any other place presently, so it is the most viable option.  (Unless of course, you\'re too far away, which is what we\'re dicussing...)

no they are not, my friend TRIED playing an Enki yesterday, but gave up because the warehouse is packed full of spawn campers...

if you jump over the boxes and into the back, if there is nobody else there you have to deal with a rogue or whatever it is that kills you in 2 hits as well as the rats...

its the worst newbie place in the game

ok, there are 3 safe rats you can kill, great, that means that the 1 or 2 people in there already are spawn camping those 3 rats and you dont stand a chance of getting anything...

now you feel forced to run to Hydlaa, wow, lets run for the next 20 minutes to get to the sewer...

there are 236796125762 rats in the sewer where only 10-20 people are ever down there at one time, then you have Enki town with 6 rats and 2/3 of the PS population wanting to kill a rat because they are Enki\'s...

he isnt playing again, he feels that a game is meant to be fun, that warehouse is FAR from fun, he only just started aswell, getting used to the controls, he didnt have a chance to get used to the combat controls because random bob and average joe were spawn camping...

roleplaying is NOT waiting around for 8 hours for a rat to be freed up so you can start a quest to get 6 rat hides so you can finish the quest and get enough tria to buy a normal axe with the quest money so you can move on to something better then a rat just so you can do something that you want to do for a change because you was too weak for anything else... and most of the text based RP is in the plaza in Hydlaa... you try and RP in Akkaio and you get ignored...

that is the worst area of the game.



it wouldnt be so bad if the towns had a spawn point that you have to click on and accept to be spawned back there when you exit the death realm or something... then you could run to Hydlaa and spawn back there instead of that horrible Enki town.

[Nikodemus]

ic: Gues what? Life isn\'t fair.

ooc: I play with enkidukai character, but somehow I em not complaining.

[mikewsnc]

Ill complain...I am an enki but I allways spawn in Hydlaa. Dont know why. oh well I more of an in depth thought...err maybe not but either way whatever im done.

[Shooree]

I totally agree with Nikodemus. Ekelios, imagine your friend being cast into the true Death Realm of Tommorow. The one in which you will have to spend hours walking to redeem yourself... Seems to me that your friend wouldn\'t want to play a game that tough even if he spawned by Talad\'s side afterwards!
Why didn\'t he request help or tried to create a party or just ran of to the hills like we all did at one point? And if he did and noone answered, why was he so weak willed? and where were you to guide him? life is supposed to be tough, especially to the inexperienced. Experience stands for your ability to get around bad things in life and make the most of the good stuff IMHO.

Really, you cannot possibly blame the devs for your friend being unable to survive or prosper. IMO that is a form of natural selection in this world of ours. Take the time and have the brains to adapt, or die. Don\'t blame the animals for living in the cage.

Oh, and to the point... sometimes I too get pissed about spawning in Akkaio. But not on a regualr basis. I mean, how often does anyone go to our lovely capitol nowadays (Enki, and proud)? most of the times, I really enjoy the change and I do my best to familiarize myself with the city... or I try to think of good RP plots while sunbathing on the tavern roof... See? Everything is a matter of perspective, and you as an Enki should be more aware of your environment and your kinsmen. We have a bloody city of our own! How can that possibly be a bad thing? I hope we\'ll meet on the streets of Akkaio. I\'ll try to make you change your mind.

P.S. please do not consider this post as flammatory. or do so. however, it was not my intention to do such a thing. My reasoning may be harsh, but is backed up by working with newbies voluntarily, and I stand by it any time. feel free to start a chitchat w/ me IG, if you care.
