Community Check...
« on: March 23, 2009, 12:39:33 pm »
How is the community these days? Are people still around? Is there anything meaningful going on in the way of RP? Replies from people who I've known or who've known me would be particularly appreciated, though anyone with an opinion on the current state of the community is welcome(especially if comparing it with previous or future states).

Only been around for just over 4 years but imho the community is the same as it ever was, sure some people have moved on, some have even returned and there are a lot of newcomers but its still basically the same, I still have a wide variety of people I know going all the way back to when I first started.

Still have the naysayers and doom merchants but ultimately the game is healthier than ever with a lot more rp going on than the oocchat/rathunt it was when CB first came out.

There is absolutely no one like you Phinehas. That might answer your question. Still, there are the good and not so good lurking. I have been too busy in real life to be involved too much in anything, though I do pop ingame every so often to mess up some 'evil mastermind's' plan or another. It is still fun for me when I have the time. When things get a little less hectic here in the land of real life, we will see what happens.

As always, there is too much digging going on ingame. Money and training still rule.

Hey, Phin 0/

Go away.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

No, there are no people around.

Hi there!

The game feels a lot different than it did in 2007.  I'm not sure what changed, but it feels like people are more "spread out".

The Dark Empire guild is in a bit of an interesting state... Sangwa quit, and Nurahk took over but then disappeared, so now Donari is trying to claim leadership.  I'm staying at the sidelines since my current RP characters serve but don't lead.

I hear they have an 'anything goes' server these days though this could just be an insidious lie.
<Rux> i wish i could say that narrows it down, but the internet is one freaky place

Hmm... well, doesn't sound like too much has changed... That's sad... And here I was getting all nostalgic and crap. Ah well, I guess I'll just have to hunt you down one at a time and say hi when I'm in the mood as opposed to attempting to "play the game" again. If RP begins to dominate the realm once more, someone had better hunt me down and drag me back, kicking and screaming even.

@Parallo: I see how it is... I'm gone for a while and you get all independent and revolutionary and what-not...
@Mooney: Awww... Heh. My most recent outlet for my need to RP has been by starting a D&D group and DMing it. It's quite amusing.
@Everyone else: Thanks for the replies everyone. You gave me a good feel for how things are going.

Phinehas, the check is in the mail. bro'. And, one more slogan: you've got to be in it to win it.  ;D

Hi Phin :) ltns. It's cool to see familiar faces stil,l even after all this time.

Vengie occasionally gives me little updates about goings-on in Planeshift, but I never really check back here anymore. After all, if zanzibar is still here, it can't be any better, can it? :) (Just kidding zan, don't throw your twisted panties at me!)

Good to see the place is still alive though, at least. The reason I visited today was because somebody showed me a game called Mortal, and it reminded me of Planeshift. Mostly in that the movement looks kind of awkward and clunky... but I'm sure that's been improved since half a decade ago when I last played. :)

Ah well, time to drift back to Whirled again. See you all in a couple of years as usual! ;)

Wow, we have Phinehas and Moogie responding in the same thread! Quickly, capture this moment! :D

Phinehas, you better get back sometime and spread your awesomeness yet again ;)

We're not evil. We're simply amazing.
