KRins Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 My time here has come to an end. A variety of issues, a variety of responses to my opinion (opinion can't be wrong...interesting concept I would like to introduce), and a feeling that my voice is not among those heard contributed to this. I'll miss several of you out there, but when even attempting to discuss a game degenerates into e-johnson waving and people becoming self-elected forum moderators with the power to tell you what you should do...when standards that you try to uphold continually degenerate...when a game becomes a struggle against trashy play (yeah, silent PKs are trash...I honestly couldn't give 2 shakes what you claim.) instead of fun...its time to move on with my day. I hope everyone lives a happy healthy life, and if I can do anything to help you out my AIM is listed in my profile. Anyone passing through central florida, holler at me...first round's on me.

Celerity Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 We might have disagreed on the details of a lot of things, but I always felt you were geniunely commited to improving this game. When a game is no longer fun for you, it doesn't serve its purpose any longer, and so I understand why you'd leave. While FL is both a community and a game, making the decision somewhat more complicated, it sounds like you felt you didn't have a strong enough voice in the community... ...I don't know what other people think, but I feel like I am in that same boat, haha! 'Enforced' RP, game world development, PK balance (always a problem), and the general atmosphere could all use a bit of help, and it IS disappointed to see ideas denied for reasons that aren't clear to you, or to see other ideas commended/not answered but with no change happening (in any decent amount of time). Some ideas are followed through with though...(note the change log). None of those changes have been real advances in the game, in my opinion (typos, imm changes, and minor pk balance for the most part). One of the most frustrating aspects is seeing other games/mods (not only MUDs) that have huge changes put in every couple of weeks (or even months)...changes that are much more than we have seen (collectively) in the last four or five years. Of course, those games are being actively developed, whereas I see FL as being "maintained", for better or worse. Why? Who really knows...it could be the administration's philosophy/skill/time/motivation. It might be nostalgia? Could be that there is a lack of creativity going around, just no good ideas. Might be that the aim is recruiting players rather than game development...might be the webpages, might be some aspects of the playerbase, might just be MUDs in general...really hard to say. Who are the community leaders? Who are just trolls? How many people play this game and don't post on the forums? How many people post but don't play? Where does the administration want to take this game? Where do the players want to take it? How do we get there? When is it going to actually happen? None of this is really clear to me, and I've been playing this game since the beginning (as have some others still around). If I (a relatively experienced player) ask these kinds of questions, just imagine the impressions that a new player would have. How much of our MUD description actually fits our MUD? How outdated is the stuff in the game (like the motd, which was recently brought up)? A lot of questions and few answers I'm afraid... In the end, I'm sorry to see you go . You were an experienced player, and furthermore an ACTIVELY contributing member of the community (both forum and IG) and thus very valuable. Regardless of what people might feel personally about it.

Mali Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Personally, I have been enjoying my time on the game lately. I have seen a noticeable increase in players. I've had some very good RP and some very challenging PK. The mud is alive and kicking. Wesbite is nice. Hope to see you back soon. Play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0xx Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I second what Mali said. I've been having a great time when I am online. I still think that the cabal induction system is a bit too strict but I see improvemt in IMMs attitudes towards recruiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim_Reefer Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Subtle in-game rp building works better than pre-meditated note writing and whatnot. I noticed a lot of people don't even read the notes. So when I rp, I just grab some random person and go for it and try to develop it over-time. Cabal system is kinda jank, but I'm not going to complain as to not get shut down by someone. I got my little brother playing this... hes 14, I told him I would give him 20 bucks if he can pinn his character. He feels confident, but I know that he will never make it. There are far too many sexual predators out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali_gmud Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I agree with both Mali and Fox I have recentyl jumped back in, and have had alot of fun with my new character even though I can predict he/she is going to get his fanny spanked, who knows, we'll see. I to have noticed lots of new players, I am voting twice a day, the website is great, but yeah I also agree the cabal induction system is pretty strict. I love being inducted into a cabal, makes me feel powerful, respected, and it's just neat having your own base with mobs, shops... Yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emp_newb Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Krins, Do not leave on account of me. I make decisions based on my observations. If you plan on leaving, do so for your own reasons. I have been known to make stupid *** decisions in my own right. I will be the first person to admit this, as I have had my share of frustration. But if we all abandon FL to "the wolves" we are horrible shephards. Look at aulian, he doesn't even call his sheep anymore. The time we spend here does have an affect on FL, tangible or not is a different question. I have had immortals completely change the course of my RP based on a half hour of work. I have had junk players who think they are boss try to kill me, some have succeeded be it by skill, luck, or poor prep on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mya Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 KRins, and EMPnewbie. You guys are going at it the wrong way. If you see something you do not like, you do not give up and leave. You make a stand. Roll something you are PK proficient with, back it up with some good RP and make a guardian. Next time you see that Trash, just bulldoze him. You would be amazed how many times i am aiding some newbie/inexperienced player, and someones comes in and two rounds them. And i am not talking of other newbies. I speak of Cabaled players who just wish to rack up a easy kill. You know what i do next ? I kill them. Nothing crushes someones ego as a death after a kill. Hoo, a piece of advice. Never go ooc, even in the most trashy "rape". Pick up your dragon slayer, quit and drink a glass of water to calm down. Then plan revenge .

Sandbox Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 i hate to see you go, but i've played alot of muds, not many allow you to be as personal with your character, and most of them out there have very very bad rp enforcemnt. As far as muds go, this one is great, sometimes its just a bit harsh. But instead of pointing fingers at others, point the finger at ourselves and think how many times we have done the same stuff that that person is leaving for.

HouselessRogue Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Krins I have never had any beef at all with you. Your posts are usually well thought out and not just random drivel. I can understand how you feel about not having voice. Things are clichy here. I don't know how many times I have posted something and have it completely ignored. I just don't give a crap anymore. I contribute when I can with what I can. Maybe it helps. Maybe it doesn't. In the mean time I will play with RP I like and b-slap whatever conflicts. Hope you cool off and stick around.
