lol I found this at onrpg too...and it is still on there.

@Mongo: it isn't nostalgia, we just like the game...
@Mickey: 1 day?  current odds were on you sticking around atleast 2 weeks :P also with Gary around as admin you'd still have someone who knows how to run a server well, so that shouldn't be too big of a deal.

edit: had to add the onrpg link: http://www.onrpg.com/games/rpg-world-online/

As Mickey said he's had his shot and fun on RPGWO and now hes bored with it too many things in life, not enough time. Most game owners just completely take it down when their done with it. So be happy it still exists, if you want a decent playerbase give it a go yourself. Advertise it on forums, local friends and online friends then get them to advertise it. Although the Admins are never on, make it a playerbase server, you don't need an Admin to hold you're hand. I'm pretty sure if they start seeing some activity going on with their own server, they become active anyway.

I guess I have given up. My medical problem turned out to be minor but still annoying and distracting.... yes, I admit it, I have biggest-diickest disease.

So, I can still open Phoenix for everyone. Maybe I can add more stuff to it but Gary would be @@@ there for now. As far as posting it on indeidb.com, anyone can post it actually. It doesn't need to be the creator. I just don't have it in me now or anytime soon.

Sooooo, what to do?

I was gonna add some kinda tutorial map plus add the PK altar map which is the warp maze one that requires significant in world work to setup the warps.
Then I was gonna add RPGWO to indiedb.com but it required a bunch of images to do that.

So, yeah, I can open it at anytime now and it is a pretty good world.

Simple solution is to open source it.

Things can be changed by a community with open source, instead of one guy who refuses to change anything.

Well, I can appreciate that some medical problem may have been causing you some issues, but I think your lack of any further work on the server has more to do with the fact that you simply have no desire to continue work on this game. It's been over a decade so that's certainly understandable, but why get our hopes up? It's just annoying when you act like you're going to put all this effort towards a new server and do a bit of advertising or something and then just disappear off the face of the earth after you've opened.

I just don't get you man, you work on random garbage or on the new version of the game despite the people who have told you they think it looks terrible (I'm not one of those people), meanwhile you've got a decent sized group of players who are still clinging on to the V1 and V2 versions even though there hasn't been a server consistently above 50 players for YEARS now. You act confused or like you have no idea what people want these days but you're completely oblivious to how so many still enjoy a 10+ year old game. The tools to create something people can enjoy and play for a good portion of time are in front of your face every day and yet you neglect to make use of them and I don't understand it.

I think Mick loses his steam rather quickly because of what has happened over the years of the game, though it is a little wrong to get the hopes up of the left over players.

You have to think about the way we've lashed out at him over the years everything from calling him names/cursing him.. releasing server files that weren't supposed to go public (this was probably a major downfall of the game - He mentioned when it first happened not to trust the servers because they were viruses. I think the knee jerk reaction was enough to tell it was going to effect it) and the fact that (unless I've missed something) he hasn't got anything back from us since perks were relevant.

So you have a guy that owns a game, that has somehow managed to stay around regardless of us abusing him and not really giving anything really back to him. Yeah your argument might be that there are players keeping the game alive and that's because of the whole server publication. I really don't believe V2 server would have been made public if V1.15 wouldn't of been leaked years ago. Not to mention some people keep servers open to try to make a quick buck off players that are willing to pay them for services (flatten land, "hearthstones", etc..)

Anyways updating or fixing the game only has a few outcomes and really the pros don't really outweigh the cons, so I figure that's why he decided not to, and hell I could be wrong and he's just silently working away at it every few days, but in reality if he's doing this for money, he probably won't release it, he'll host it himself and put someone (more then likely someone a lot of people can't stand) in charge. I figure now-a-days he has trust issues with most players just because of the amount of bull crap we've put him through.


PS: As far as the different versions, it was an attempt to make money/modernize the game. Part of me thinks he let Jon drag him too far off course to ever really accomplish it, each version pass V2 has tried something fancy regarding graphics and if he would of stuck it out with V2 in the past and did some major work on it, interface and all. He may have been in a better position today (again leaked 1.15 didn't help this case)

The game is dead, buried, and decayed into dust.
Move along.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, like everybody here I have fond memories of RPGWO.
But now we are all old, the absence of new players + the aging yet immature community killed the game.

Just one still, Hexed. It has had a stable playerbase of like 5-10 players I think (not on all the time or at once obviously) but the server has been going for too long now and it has sucked since it opened. The admin was corrupt and I say was because I don't think he even logs on to the server any more.

There's a few people around who wouldn't mind a new one, myself included, but honestly I'm not sure how many people would really play.

if there was a decent new server(read that as no stupid molds) I would play...

I was waiting for Roar to finish his new server, but he may have given up on it.
