Wrilley Rant Why don't we ever talk about the continents? They comprise 50% of our world but does anyone actually know what's out there? I don't. My speedwalks take me right past rooms that someone spent a lot of time writing a description for. Did you know that there is a perfect tessaract in vidblain. Did you know there's a room in Abend with an actual extra description. With over 1000 rooms to write, someone wrote an extra description. Would you do that? I wouldn't. I'd be like fuck that, I have to write 1000 room descriptions as it is. Who wrote all those room descriptions? Aliens? Lasher? Random players who may or may not still be playing here? Do you ever wonder about the people who created areas and are no longer here? Do they ever think about the world they left behind? They left their permanent mark (in some cases blight: visited Helegear Sea lately?) but only their legacy lives on. I've never met SonRokito but I wouldn't mind if he logged on so I could punch him in the face for his pain in the ass areas. Speaking of pain in the ass areas, did you know I'm building one right now? It's 100 rooms of random exits, aggro mobs, boring room descriptions no one reads anyway because we all turn brief mode on. The goal is nearly impossible, the only task hint is "Just try to solve this one motherfucker, hahaha." The goal reward is a global pwipe, solving the tier problem once and for all. Speaking of tiers, why is it that the game is designed around people who have already FINISHED PLAYING THE FUCKING GAME!?!? Design this shit for people who actually play and pay attention and care about the cool shit people bust their ass on. All of us oldtimers just blast through an area for explored, do the goal and write a walkthrough so our leeching clannies can pay even less attention to the area. Also, we're completely unpleasable. The IMMs CANNOT do anything that will make us happy. I'm serious. Nothing will make us happy. If you change something we'll complain about the change, if you don't change something we'll complain about the way it works now. You're far better off just making more continents. No one complained about those. Make Andolor like 50 million rooms just to piss off the people who like to explore and map. You don't even need room descriptions because no one reads them anyway. It could be 50 million rooms that look like this:
A Beautiful Sunlit Forest I know you're not reading this so let me take a moment to say Fuck You. You're a whining unpleasable bastard and you make everyone miserable. Even your dog hates you. [Exits: North East South West] No one would care, because no one notices the continents. The continents are the nice guys of Aardwolf. People just trample all over them and they don't put up any resistance at all. The fucking lions are tame for God_is_a_myth's sake. In summary: . |
