we all loved V1/V2 so Mickey redesigned it completely all the way up to V6 where it now sucks.

I don't like agreeing with Drav, but for once he is right...V1 was a great game, V2 had new stuff improving on V1.  V6 just seems like a whole new game, not the rpgwo we all played and loved.

I agree (I have to point that the person who made the original post in question was very rude). 

To this day, I still prefer V1.
V2 did bring some improvement (multiple mining levels never quite convinced me much, however the possibility of making dungeons with multiple levels is clearly good).

Of course you can improve the inner workings of the client.

I always thought improving the ways in which item, usage and spells data is created, modified, stored, would have helped RPGWO a great deal. Making more user-friendly would have been great.

RPGWO is a sandbox game, of course the game was created by Mickey, but also RPGWO fed from the creative minds and ideas of people who throughout the time, created their own servers and content, sharing that dream of seeing people having fun in a cool sandbox RPG Word Online. Making some sort of interface to facilitate that creation of content would have been great.

IMO that is all that RPGWO needed. And adding some sort of features that encourages further social interaction within the game too, like hunting in party, sharing exp, etc. Community is the core.

I don't want to sound mean, many years(10?) have passed since even V2 came out, and I don't really think RPGWO has gone anywhere during this time (also, the graphics of the newer versions, I find them unappealing).

Why cant you zebras just let this game stay dead. It died when Roarion stopped working on it.

Bookmarked that video for a fun listen.

Glad i didnt even bother to look into the server. I didnt even read the post about its release.  I got a message from Rowah saying "Tommy says you should come play his server"   Cant wait to reply to him with that youtube link.

Tommy will always be remembered as the guy who kept opening servers just to kill RPGWO a little more each time.

all that sounds nice, but even with just a few starter quests and a town* most players are fine.  as long as there aren't any molds!

atleast I'm hoping that is what he means by basic, not completely empty...


*town doesn't have to be fancy.  a lifestone, mule and trader vendor, a resourcer, and an npc that sells starter weapons/tools should be enough.

While i agree to a certain degree. a World cannot continue without a form of quest. no matter what your grind is whether its levels or the ability to make anything, to be the best trader... whatever.

Eventually the challenge is removed, and that is the point quests step in to create variation. Even if its just a few hours it breaks the norm which brings back life to the game for people.

Like me or not you'll notice that i fly through the early levels to become self efficient ASAP. I get to the point of having all the tradeskills i need to make my own potions, boost myself at max level, make the top jewels etc etc. but i still enjoyed Roar's quests that he added whenever he could, i know he also got enjoyment about watching me suffer inside of them sometimes.

Roar - What is it going to take to get your interest into making a server? What do you want/need?

The server is fun, it doesn't have some of the stuff I like from normal modern servers but it addressed some issues that the game has like rune making and self sustainability in general as a fighter.  I don't really care who admin is. The reason there is a gap between high level players and low is obviously time. Cant see a fix for that as if you have err a full time job and family it's hard to compete so some players just quit if they are in a competitive mind set while playing. Everyone knows that but it's just the nature of rpgwo

You'll notice on w/e the server these guys copy pasted its Eddies friend's that seem to be doing better than others.

Roar if you ever decide to host/run a server give me a shout, I miss your quests.

Your claiming a server with 17 active players yesterday isnt genuine because why again?? Because you have an issue with eddie? Right gotcha.

Because all you've done is copy paste a server and put it as the only server online, that doesnt prove jack.

future was fun but it wasnt flawless. why cant your buddy eddie finish building his Nexus server? hard for him to come up with anything over just copying somebody elses stuff? Hell even Mysti made her own server.

I guess the real problem is the only people who now want to open a server are people who are still trying to prove themselves as decent players. Been there mastered that.

Somebody had to make them, they made my land all pretty.

On a side note i did log in to see "Admin Eddie" somewhere in the rules, at that point i was laughing too hard to take the server seriously.

I guess you totally skipped over the argument I had in this thread in which I made the point to ask "Who else would be admin?"

You played Future a lot before so you clearly have no interest in it but there are many players who never got a chance to try it out (or refused to try it out because they are morons and their first reaction is "i don't like modern" and then they log out before even giving it a chance because as I said they are morons).

Why are you even still here? You haven't played this game past troll stage for the last 4 years.

I'd have rather asked Tommy to admin and i think the guy is a moron.

thats my land you monkey lover.

Roarion is unfortunately right. We are the player base and in reality that's 5-20 people. 10 of those feel getting to level 30 is too hard and give up because of that. 5 of those people play regularly but dont join in events or social conversation. the last remaining people are heavy players (me) who either burn out in the first couple of weeks and take a break, in which time the server dies. or quit entirely out of lack of content/boredom.

I'd love to play a server again and run a guild like i did on Mysti's last server doing little guild events for XP and promoting dedication... but the playerbase just isnt there. we have to accept unless we get a huge influx of return players or new players. RPGWO is done.
