Planeshift is getting to hard to play.

Fair enough Illysia but you can't say that when someone first starts that they would never change in their stats.
The faster you can get what needs to be done, done then the more you can RP

@ oldbies: I tip my hat to the olbies that came before me. I understand now... I still don't agree with everything you said but I do understand the frustrations... in the course of 8 years only so much has changed in terms of improvements and it takes more than graphics and mounts to make a good RP. But... C'est la vie... We'll let those more wiser than us run their head into that wall too. Bets on who’s head makes the largest dent?

I salute you Illysia, maybe one day I can be an Oldbie as well...

[Illysia]

@Vakachehk: I never said that. And people that are in a rush to train often times never get out of that rush as they are trying to max skills which takes a long time and often isn't the only skill they max. Patience young padawans... It's ok to work you way up to your goal and RP some of what you want your character to do before you can do it. How do you think they had RP in this game before stuff like combat was implemented?


@knightspark9: Thanks, but I don't know... player retention seems to have fallen as even new players that aren't against RP often leave the game pretty fast. However, I do believe the game will be around long enough for you to become an oldbie. But, as was said to me... it's not exactly the happiest group to get into. However, we do often have common opinions about why we aren't happy. I wonder if anyone can come up with a model to predict who has a high chance of be comming a crunchy, cranky oldbie one day...

My Enki's breath smells like Enki food.

The oldbie group sucks. Draklar speaks too loud, Phinehas's feet smell like old people and Jekkar never stops smoking... Man, you guys should see the lounge. Good thing I'm a currentbie.

I advise everyone to do it like I do. Create a character that comes with most of the stats you want and go from there. You must keep in mind you can't be a super anything, but that's not a problem, since you can still roleplay.

We all know the training system should be simplified, like the NPC chat system. But there's something you guys are ignoring. Developers are proud of what they did there. Would you want to be the one to let them down?

[Vakachehk]

Well some like to be able to wear Heavy Armor as well it does look pretty impressive

But yes Illysia I don't like it when people abuse it, by PLing.

The relationship is linear.

@OTR LOLOL!

Perhaps one thing that bitter oldbies have seemed to miss/fogotten is that players are here with the intent to be testers. My feeling is that the the Main Chat has been pretty much debugged. Once my Warrior-Priestess has been fully developed as a Warrior my intention is to create an alt to do the same with the Magic Mechanics. My hope is that will be useful to game development as well as entertaining me at the same time; as it has so far. This has been done with and without other characters' interaction with my character; nor without me forcing my style of play down anyone's throat.

Nice OTR. What a very astute observation.

Good thing that I have gotten out of "Explain the Basics of RP" mode as this is a veritable gold mine of issues to address. Gosh I hope I'm here to see Nova turn out like Xoel. It will be very satisfying to see the day he comes to the same realizations about progress that everyone else did.  I would love to post a facepalm pic for this but I'm afraid there isn't one that quite covers it.


Secondly, congratulations Vakachehk, you have been deemed a bitter oldbie by the high and mghty Itteh Bitteh Worldview Committeh. Just how long have you actually been playing out of curiosity?

[novacadian]

Maybe a definition is in order so that bitter oldbies is not as incredibly vague as the present use of the term RP.

Bitter Oldbies: Players that have left PS on their own volition yet because of their bitterness cannot stop themselves from bemoaning on the forum how terrible the game is; to those presently enjoying game play.

If the shoe fits feel free to put it on.

[bloodedIrishman]

PS forum fact: If Illysia posts, novacadian will be the first to reply, and somewhere within that post, the words "bitter oldbie" will be embedded, and oft-repeated.


I am currently toying with the idea that nova simply wishes to patter Illysia's batter. This is his odd way of achieving that goal.

Interesting euphemism you got there Irishman.

But nevermind that, Mr. I will never again read Illysia's Posts obviously read my last one or he wouldn't have bothered to redefine bitter oldbie. HA! made you look. And the term RP is only vague because you wouldn't know it if I smacked you in the head with it.

Hmm.. hows this?

[Vakachehk]

Illysia as old as Xoel. I started February of 2009.
