100,000th player!
« on: October 29, 2003, 01:12:31 pm »
Is it just me, or do you think that the 100,000th player should recieve an in game prize. I think, it\'s fair on the rest of us, who play so much to buy things, and to have it given to someone out of sheer luck. Why dont we all get a gift because there are 100,000 players!

i agree with you, it is fun to give someone a prize.
but you might get the problem that people will double register just to become that player.

ot: if you are refering to the copy eye, sharingan you kinda wrote it wrong :P ( http://www.narutoguide.com )

I want a gift, everyone buy gifts to me, since I only have 50 rubies.
On topic: No, no gifts should be given away, that\'s just unfair.

IMO if there is someone who should get a gift or a prize, it\'s the development team.
So instead of pointless discussing if the 100,000th player should get a prize or not, we might come up with some neat idea.
Ideas anyone?

Any ideas?

Anyone?

All right. *opens a bottle of whisky*Let me just say: congratulations to the dev team! Thanks for the game that brought together this community. To you and to us! *glug-glug-glug...*

I don\'t get it, we\'re already over 100k, and I bet the player who registered that was some n00b who pirated this off of Kazaa looking to kill some stuff :P  .  And I\'m not sure exactly what WE can do for the dev team, other than what we alredy do :D .

It\'s with great pleasure that we announce the 100.000th player registered on PlaneShift Laanx Server. To celebrate we would like to give him an in-game prize. The 100.000th character is Moyra! Congratulations! Moyra, please send us an email with your account password, so we can identify you.



They\'ve already decided... what\'s there to discuss?

technically it isn\'t the 100.000th player.. It\'s more like the 100.000th character created.. So give me the price instead, and all will be well...

That\'s stupid, a prize for joining a game and accidently being the 100,000?  Prizes should be restricted to competitions only, unless they contribute in some way to the game...I mean, does anyone know this \"Moyra\"?

I certainly don\'t... He\'s quite probably just one of those that create a character, ask a lot of ignorant questions ingame, gets a lot of answers which he, either doesn\'t understand, or thinks of as stupid and *PLING* his mind is set: \"PS SUX0RZ\" and bye bye Moyra...

Such a prize is a waste of time, and quite stupid, imho...

What!? Why should Moyra get a prize just because he/she was accidently the 100,000th player he/she should work to get crystals just like the rest of us! I\'ve been here for like 7 weeks and I still have no diamond! this makes me angry!

Come now, it\'s hardly like they\'re going to enjoy the prize for long. What\'s there to get so angry about?

So he gets a plastic sword. Not the most glamorous of awards now is it? Just calm down. It\'s like scratchcards... you don\'t go getting angry at your friend just because you wasted ?50 on them and won a few quid, and he won the jackpot prize first time. :P

The last time I checked this was an actual GAME where skill or time put in should be what determines whether or not you get ahead of others...not random chance.

And a sword is a big prize for some people, if it doesn\'t matter why not just give everyone a sword? (plastic? ok...)

Though the 100kth person will be something to celebrate in this great game, I don\'t think they should get any type of award. Hate to say it, but there are people out there making multiple characters just to get that name as 100kth player so that they can recieve this award. Besides, one character is just as good as the next, right? :)

I ment to spell my name Sharigan, i didn\'t just want to rip of naruto. It\'s nice to see a fellow naruto watcher though. Anyway back to topic.

It\'s not fair on the rest of us, i see people, as well as myself who spend alot of time roaming this world collecting crystals. holding an item in the game is a prestigious thing, it gives someone status. To just give some newbie a sword, isn\'t fair to the people who play and dedicate time to the game. I know it\'s going to be deleted, but really, we spend alot of time playing, we see someone with a sword, and you think \"gee they must play alot, they must know alot about this world, if i have a question, i should ask them!\", but instead you see a noob, with a sword, and it defeats the purpose. If they are plastic, and it doesn\'t matter, why not give a sword to everyone? Why not just freely make them avaliable. why? Because it creates a challange in the game, thats why!

Out of the 100,000 registered players, i\'ve only ever seen 50 different people play. 100,000 means, 100k register, 990k dont like it and leave, never to return. So what did Moyra do to deserve this? nothing, she/he is probably just another person who created character, didn\'t like it and left!
