me too...and that it had to download and upgrade a whole pack of programs...mhm john, maybe it is some kind of "smart" of the designers to do it, like they are forcing us to do something boring and then get us some fun, atleast that is what i think RS is based on..

Alot of the fun RS has to do with the people on; like if your friends are on the better or nice and cool people it makes it funner,other then thatIts basicly doing the same thing all over again but whenever and whatever you want

Yeah, but usually that only applies to members...for F2P, you can't really be better...not by a lot, usually...  ::)

Yeah, well the actual Gamasutra article is kinda creepy considering it's basically a scholarly review of how to manipulate and (in some ways) coerce players into doing what the designers want.  I guess it's just disconcerting to know we're being tricked, and how many aspects of games are designed completely without regard to fun, rather just to keep us metaphorical rats pulling a lever.  I'm kinda glad I haven't played any MMOs in a long time.

Oh, and regarding the latest Final Fantasy:
(click to show/hide)
Indeed john. That's all to true. Not really much of a spoiler IMO though. It's no secret that Square Enix is ruining the franchise, and the game IS surprisingly linear until a certain point of the game (too little and too late). You can only control the one party leader, and if he/she dies, it's game over, and since some foes are strong enough to OHKO you, it can be an instant game over (of course, that's what the Sentinel, FF XIII's tank class, is for).

Yeah...anyways, what are good ways to make "money" in Runescape...Hmm I probably know the F2P ones already, as it is limited... for members there are lots...but any really good F2P ones?  :|

Unforunately so. My biggest beefs are the extremely linear gameplay and the fact you can only control one person (ie: if my party is set up as a melee fighter, a healer, and a buffer, in one occasion, I might want to focus on strong melee attacks, so I'd want the buffer to make my melee attacker stronger. In a different occasion, I might want him to focus on making the healer's magic stronger, so that she can keep up with strong enemies. You can't control that person unless hes your leader, and then you'd have to pass up your control over the fighter...)

And of course, as I mentioned before, OHKOing enemies sucks... At one point of the game, there is a large enemy that is capable of dealing 9999 damage to your leader, and is insanely fast, not to mention millions of HP. Not sure how to defeat it (if possible) yet. I'm playing FF XIII only in my free time, so haven't quite won yet (near the end though).

There's lots more I could say, but I don't want to spoil anything...

//EDIT: Ok, I found out how to kill that adamantoise now, though the necessary character hasn't learned that ability yet. I've been focusing her on the ravenger role mostly, rather than the saboteur.

Me too, not the best memories...although they can be fun too, I guess...
Besides, Runescape, I don't really count it though...  :|
Good thing Glest is not...like this...right? I hope...

I agree. With some exceptions of course! For example, they take more priority over stopping RWT over making the game as enjoyable as possible. I mean, I loath bots and real world traders, but I don't think any fixes should impact our ability to have trade. I'm all for the trade counter which shows the balance of the trade, to keep new players from being scammed, but I don't like caps or limits.

Another example: The **** price of climbing boots update! They made a bunch of noob pkers billionaires in an instant because of the stupid thing. I swear, with this and price caps in the GE, jagex is interfering too much with a fragile economy (yes, runescape's massive economy resembles ours today).



I must admit, the G20 summit in toronto is showing a bad example of canadians. I have nothing against peaceful protests, but someone fireballed a police car!!! For god's sake, this reminds me of pictures of a protest in a European country I saw a little while back (not sure what country. Something about some boy killed before).

Runescape's economy is goıng bad? I think too that Jagex shouldn't ınterfere, stıll, at least the RS economy has 'gods/mods' that can rebuild or stop the prıces from rısıng or lowerıng.

Watch out for those Americans south of you! They got the worst protests!

OK...anyways, how did this thread start?  :| Something about a lost Community Faction...Some OTism, then this was born?
Well if you want to make that argument, then how does Magic recruit Daemons and Ghosts? (and the more important questions like "Why does Tech's Swordsman have a leather armor type when he's clearly wearing chainmail?" or "How does the Ornithopter hover?  What kind of steroids is that pilot doing and where can I get some?")
:thumbup: Nougth' said... or is it? Probably so...
