Rift: Planes of Telara

[LC]

I hope this doesn't turn into WAR.

It won't.

Because it's going to be worse.

[HorRIFTic]

It won't.

Because it's going to be worse.

Any particular reason for this assumption?  Considering how poor WAR was and is that is a pretty big assumption.

He wasn't referring to the quality of the game. 

[HorRIFTic]

Aah, my bad.  I am at work, which makes threads hard to follow!

[Draegan]

You're new here, tread softly.

Or lightly.

Also, don't play nice.

[Rendakor]

A further suggestion would be to participate in threads outside of this one.

Said the spider to the fly.

[Typhon]

As an even further suggestion, you'll find many thoughtful and reasoned dialogs occurring in the Politics section of the forum.  You might think about participating in some of those topics as a good way to introduce yourself to the forum.

...

Ok, that was just a mean joke.  Stay away from politics.  I'm serious now, stay away.

[Bzalthek]

Is this where we tell him about the secret forum by pressing Alt-F4?  [/pathos] high five brah yeah!

[rattran]

Enough. Assuming there's no more starfucking, leave it be. If there's more starfucking, bad things will happen.

[Vinadil]

Ok, so back to the original statement... in what ways would this game be "worse" than WAR?

It's not as good as Darkfall?

FFS. He meant that it would be worse than WAR because it would attract more starfuckers, not because it would be a worse game.

[Vinadil]

Ahhh, red names and people talking to them... got it.

And, not every game can aspire to be Darkfall... does not mean they should not release it, you know, give it a chance.

I didn't pick up on that at all.  I blame it on it being the first post of a new page.  It broke my concentration.

[HorRIFTic]

Guys, I am not sure where the venom toward me has come from.  I came to this forum because of one thing and one thing only.  Someone from this forum linked one of my blog's posts.  That is it.  After I clicked on it to check it out, I found some interesting conversation about a game I am looking forward to, so I posted my thoughts.  That is all.

I did not come here because Scott Hartsman posted here (although I do think its cool when the developers interact with the community outside of official forums).  I came here because my blog was linked.  I do not really appreciate being called names, nor having accusations thrown my way simply because I decided to post on a forum where my blog was linked.  I post on many different forums that relate to MMOs in general and Rift in particular, most of which do not include Scott or any other Trion developer posting there.  I do it because I look forward to the game, I write a fan blog about it and I want to be involved in the Rift community.  No more, no less.

If I am not wanted here I completely understand.  I will stay on the MMORPG forums, the K&G forums or the official Rift forums.  That being said, if you folks have no problems with me being here, I would like to stay.  The whole Rift thread has been an interesting read and so has a few other threads on the forum.

Again, I am sorry if I gave the wrong impression but I do not believe I deserved the name calling or accusations.

Welcome to Fight Club. If this is your first time, you have to fight. 

Relax - the warning is that if all you are here to do is follow around a red name and / or gush heavily over a single title, you probably won't last. Post in a few different conversations, be aware that people on these forums can be old and grumpy and you'll be fine. If you feel strongly about anything around politics and / or religion, stay out of the Politics forum.

I probably won't venture much into the Politics forums except to read.  I find arguing about politics on internet forums is akin to beating ones head against the wall.

As far as falling a "red" name around, I had no idea Scott Hartsman posted here when I clicked on the link in my blog's referrer.  I simply noticed that I had a number of hits from this forum and wondered why, especially since the name of the forum seemed to have nothing to do with Rift.  


I may or may not post in other threads depending on how the mood strikes me.  I have posted in a couple of other gaming threads here, namely Global Agenda, but I haven't much to say about many of the other MMOs out there.  I have tried them all and found most of them lacking, I played WoW and DAoC for four years but both are shadows of their former selfs.  Rift is the only MMO I am actively following right now, which makes discussing others in threads kind of pointless.

That being said, I do enjoy reading many of the threads here on F13 and will contribute when I have something to say or when I actually have something worth contributing.

The problem is no one knows who you are.  I recommend posting an introduction thread in the General Forums.

FFS. He meant that it would be worse than WAR because it would attract more starfuckers, not because it would be a worse game.

I did? I meant the game is going to suck because it's just another poor copy of a copy. Let me try to summarize my reasoning in video.

This is WoW.

Edit: I see now. I guess I didn't read back far enough when I posted. But it's all the same. This game has the same hype surrounding it, and I'm sure plenty of people old and new will be dropping to their knees as beta/release get closer.

...and then, after about three or four years of that, people may grudgingly accept that you're not going away. 

[Lantyssa]

It doesn't stop us from trying.

[HorRIFTic]

Thanks folks.  I may have over-reacted a bit, was just kinda surprised at some of the posts after mine.  One thing that is easily forgotten when posting on forums is that every forum has its own 'personality' and you have to realize that when you post.  This one seems to have a very interesting personality!

Schizophrenia and mild psychosis are sometimes defined as interesting, yes.

Anyone have a bear-poking emote?

Nope, just a poking-bear link.  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39088022
