The "Game that must not be named"
« on: August 08, 2003, 07:34:05 pm »
Hi, I just joined this forum,  (me = nubbin. GET THE NEWBIE!!!!!) and I noticed several references to the \"Game that must not be named\".

Now I know it is ironic that I should ask this, as it means someone will have to write the name that must not be named, but:

What IS this \"Game that must not be named\"?

I am assuming it\'s either Ultima Online or Everquest.

Okay here\'s a test so you can try and find out.

1.) The following word in quotations \"farscape\" is not the game, change the first syllable and replace it from the following selection.

       a.) Dune
       b.) Rune
       c.) Prune
       d.) None of the above
My name is NOT pronounced, \"Kway-per,\" it\'s pronounced \"Kye-per.\"

It is censored by the way so if I type
Runesc@pe (note: @=a)
it comes out as
runescape

The key to manipulative bargaining is to ask for something twice as big as what you want, then smile and nod when you are talked down to your original wish. You are still young, my apprentice, and have much to learn in the ways of the force. -UtM

Ah, RS. Yes. I can see why you hate that game very much, and I don\'t blame you.

But what is everyone\'s opinion of UO? I played it for a while and it was.... o.k. If you find the right guild. I was one of those \"f**king rpers\" :)

If you\'re reading this could you please at least attempt to answer my question in the tech support forum? Thank you.

Runescape.

Hehehehe. testing. :D
Only bad thing with RS was that Andrew suckered many players into his p2p program to \"Get more stuff, quests, and more bank space\", and shunned the f2p\'ers. 3D update (that isn\'t even first person...) will prolly be the F2P\'ers last update forever... that and mining was and is still increadably borring no matter what they did to it [as it is the only real way to get lots of cash, aside from fishing and cooking (though fishing+cooking go together)]...

the fatigue system and thus a sleeping bag. fatigue system \"necessary\" to stop macroers... maybe if you made it alittle less tedius and way more fun, they wouldn\'t macro... :rolleyes:

PlaneShift pwns RS b/c PlaneShift is PlaneShift.
And if RS looked like PS, well, PS would still pwn it, because you wouldn\'t have to pay to get the better stuff; the better stuff would be there for everyone to use!
 :D

It looks better in 2d actually, I play RS and rather enjoy it sometimes. (don\'t shoot me, I didn\'t say that :P)

U\'ll probably find this question stupid but am new here so excuse me, but i just want to know why exactly is the word Runesc@pe censored on this forums???
Little angel, go away...
Come again some other day...
Devil has my ear today...
I\'ll never hear a word you say...
He Promised I would find a little solace and some peace of mind...
Whatever. just as long as I don\'t feel so desperate and ravenous.
