Posting a picture of google is impressive. It really is. Wow.

And foboslc, you're just another troll that makes goons look bad.

Hurf durf only goons can do bad things or troll, Authentic players are all perfectly good.

Yeah my point right. We had none of this before goons came. So people have reasons to think that every idiot is a goon now.

Uh, goons have been here since day one.
Just because there wasn't enough people so they didn't identify as goons doesn't mean they weren't here.

Oh no our perfect Harvest Moon dollhouse is ruined now that goons showed up and started treating it as an alpha or something. Quick let's whiteknight for a pedophile who shits his pants, that'll show 'em.

Honestly, this game is a fun time-waster with lots of promise but sometimes I just don't "get" the mindset of tiny, gated MMO communities.

Let's just say the first goon wave then.
Really now, how hard can it be to not swear or make troll posts. If you're (Junkfist2) going to troll just don't post here.

Also, if you goons think i am trying to make you look bad / worse or whatever you're wrong. I try to stay neutral until some idiot posts again after which i'll try to become neutral again..which is hardly possible because even sensible goons go awol if they sense the slightest setback or insult. Fuck. Try to react normal.

Fuck.

Pretty hard.

To the point, goons are gigantic passive-aggressive wounded manchildren who explode into a fiery tower of righteous indignation whenever they sense something amiss, reliving their life of alienation in a single crystallized moment and reacting as if the victim of a vast, cosmic betrayal; it's just in their DNA.

However just because they overreact doesn't mean they're not right. They're almost always right.

This is an alpha. Combat's probably going to change, as is character development, crime and punishment, Hell from what we've heard the LP system might be replaced entirely, hopefully with something that will encourage more specialization when more players come in. There's no reason not to expect a character wipe somewhere down the line.

And on the topic of more players: the game needs a system to handle douchebaggery which is not dependent on a smattering of superpowered cliques, unless you think a linear progression in combat skills which allows a handful of characters to play Dynasty Warriors with the rest of the population conductive to the growth of the game. (it isn't)

Sexy.


Enough said.

Unforutnately that fancy word picture you gave us is often expressed on the forum as a single line insult under a direct quote.

This topic has been discussed at length, combat skills do not progress linearly. Wingers simply refuse to put in an effort that even approaches the more powerful players.

Oh for...

Gee, at first I thought that this Thread might have something relevant or entertaining to read, to find out whats going on here. I joined a while back, finding that the game was completely void of both population and diversity. I spent 5hrs walking over a plain of area that had nothing on it. I was nearly bored out of my mind, not including that i was going down so I had to click over and over again at NOTHING for those moments...
So I quit...
Then I discovered that there were others from Bay12 that had a town that i could Join, so I did...
Now I farm and bake at the main Commune area, gaining something like 100LP+ (X4) from a single cart Harvest plus a replant of the Wheat. So i started to develop that character, I start to enjoy the game, then i stumble across the Pamphlet saying that the End of the World was coming...

At first I thought oh, ok...
Then went back to my work, then I started noticing it being mentioned in the Bay12 forum. So I come find this Thread...
AND got bored out of my mind...

Got up to page 10 before I finally felt like Posting this...

It is great to see that there will be a Restart of the Map, maybe making that 4hr treak more interesting or the like instead of the boring green grass looking tiles that I saw before, a bird flying over head every now and then will be great too...

And in this thread, I hear about these God like Characters that are whinging like 5yr olds who don't want their toys taken away from them, god. GROW UP! How old are you people, 13, 15???
What???
No way you could be 20+ cause if you can't handle the folks that want to fall in love with this game like you did, asking that the devs can restart characters so that everyone starts on even footing in the Change to BETA, then gee you just make me feel great. This game is wonderful don't get me wrong, but I don't want to see the 4hr nothing again, I don't want to see someone spawn on the first day and drop a claim and everything to be a god down within minutes of play on a new map...

Like someone said back near the start of this Thread, MMO's like WoW have different servers to maintain the growing pop, if you were someone new would you go to the most filled one that started 3yrs back, no you go to the one were you don't spawn and suddenly become surrounded by folk with EPIC Shit. This is a Change from ALPHA to BETA...

Guess whats going to happen when it reaches MAINSTREAM!!!...

People who want Chary Restarts, yes good idea, but are you prepared to go the distance...
People that don't want it cause you been playing so long. Go suck your lollipop, cry to your mum and then get the hell over it. If it happens its for a reason, that reason being its a NEW WORLD, if it don't happen, great for you, YAY have a bloody parade (YES and I do mean with Blood) then go sit on that little Mountain you call a home, and do what ever the hell it is you do, act like cursed Titans from Greek Mythology until Zeus (Devs) decides to lock you away. Then you can scream and kick and whine, we don't effing care...

Ugh, now that my rant is done, I am off to bed...
PS, Can't wait for the New Map, sounds promising...
