Title: Anyone play Real Life, that old MMORPG that's been around for ages?
Post by: Lary on 2012 Aug 29, 22:39:13
I still play it, but the experience system is a drag. I'm a level 20 Beginner, speccing to be a Technical Engineer.

Anyone else play?

I tried googling it for about two minutes.
I just realized my failure.

From time to time. Still in the tutorial, nearing the end. Still not sure what I'm going to specialize in. Definitely nothing that's really physical. I may have an ungodly stamina, but my strength is so low I've yet to meet a person who can't beat me at strength (who's actually near me in level)
Probably going to pick one of the more intellect based ones, sciences.
Why did I have to pick that one trait that makes me have such high stamina, but not be able to run for more than a few moments?

You should probably try training your Strength and Endurance stats to help with that.
Believe me. I know intelligence-based classes are rare and hard to play. The developers need to buff them IMO.

Life? Can't say I know it.
But there's this neat MMORPG called Outside, which was apparently made my the same people who made IRL.
(http://amix.dk/uploads/outside_mmorpg.jpg)

I don't know if IRL and Life are the same game, but they might be similar.

Oh yeah, I'm familiar with that one. Lvl 22 in it. Not quite sure what to do next in it though. I'm currently doing quests to gain dollars so I can get my character into a guild or school to upgrade more stats efficiently, though I'm not quite sure which one to go for. Pretty lame, but I guess better late than never...
My stats right now are pretty basic, the AMB(Ambition) stat started to increase after some S.EST(Self-esteem) training. Kinda happy about that, but my progress has been slow going for actually getting where I need my character to be. Dollars are rediculously hard to obtain. And even more difficult to keep what with the games crazy economy and the prices of potions and equiptment.

It's rough when they drop you need to remove things from your inventory to get more. And if you lose too much, you're forced to change class to 'Hobo'.

And I hate beggars in this game. At this point, it's practically become a common class that some people want to play.
If this game allowed multiple character slots, I'd try one just to see what it's like.

I have a plan to work on my crafting and sell stuff to other players.

Real Life can be hard and confusing at times, though. And some players get to do quests and see things that most others don't.

I hope I'm doing this right.

I botched my character a bit in this. I'm lvl 20, though, so i won't give up on him. XP. I tried to be a bit well rounded, only really expanding my Intelligence and Dexterity stats more than my average. this just led to a lot of "you can't do this yet" moments. but whatever. The Int/Dex bonuses i can get make up for it.

i tried specializing in Engineering, figuring it'd be fun, but that didn't turn out well. didn't really fit my play style. now i just gotta get xp and funds (which are a pain to come by) so i can re-spec. probably gonna go with a social science. maybe Psych.

Post by: Chishio Kunrin on 2012 Aug 30, 10:39:32
I went with Psychology for fun as one of my courses in the optional tutorial stage. It turns out to require a better Memory stat than I have. I'm not good with keeping up with a dozen things that're similar but different. I just lose track with 'em and fumble the xp. I haven't gotten much xp in the area of Studying either. I never needed it.

Stubbornness. :/ I don't need Studying, and most of the time, I don't need potions. I tend to rely on myself and avoid using potions to recover health. I always have. Sometimes when I was at a much lower level, I'd pour potion down the sink and rinse it away when no one was looking. Though, there have been a couple of times when I've been afflicted with a status effect that I couldn't get rid of without potions, in which case I used them willingly.

I appear to be suffering from a rather nasty little bug.
I keep on trying to have at this project, and as of late it isn't even checking to see if I can actually get to work on it. Instead I'm always shunted off to some nearby distraction.
I checked my stats and I shouldn't be having this problem at all.

The fatigue system really bothers me. These small barking mobs keep waking me up every hour and I seem to have lost some stats because of it, and while I was trying to sleep it seems I had a stomachache status effect for a little while, it's cured now but not before costing me some fatigue points. I can't seem to get the nap skill to work correctly either.

The nap skill for me just doesn't work right. Sure, I can nap, but if I'm not suffering from some sort of illness or lack of sleep I wake up with the Sore Throat and Headache debuff.
Sleep doesn't work well either, though it's probably because of the traits Active Imagination and that one trait I mentioned earlier. Once I'm asleep I'm a brick. I think I found a clever way to combat it.I imagine I'm trying to fall asleep with one of the anthro versions of the mane six.
What? It works.

Oh, and who here has the Mild Asperger's trait? A higher version?

We're babysitting a couple of canine mobs. They haven't aggro'd or made much noise, though, so that's good. They seem to be in passive rest mode in my parents' room right now.

I dunno. No one of doctor class has assessed me for any such traits in years, so the only trait I know of right now is ADD.

I hate some of the updates they made along the way.
It used to be simple, like pokémon, just make sure your strong and can beat everything.
Now with the new version you can't even do that without special training.

The tutorial is harder these days, as well as class changes. However, everything else is much easier. I mean, consumption items are better, healing items are more powerful, and the level cap is higher than before.

Yeah but making those things so easy made the game too mainstream, there are just to many players.

Closing in to level 19 soon, in fact, in 3 days. Finished my basic tutorials last year and now entering the advanced ones about Energy tech and god are those hard, can't say I did much training either though, so I might be at fault for that. I probably have high INT and WIT statuses, or so does say my mother, but my DEX and STR are at sub-zero levels, definately, never trained those. Well, waiting for my extra level soon and see what can I do with tutorials and hopefully I will be able to enter an appropriate guild in the future to help me do quests and earn some money.

I'm in somewhat an agreement here. The game needs more servers IMO. Earth Server is getting way overpopulated.

Yes, Earth Server is way overpopulated. And they really haven't added many other servers, either. In fact, the Earth server is basically the only server ever used. And the costs are pretty high, it's very hard to buy some things if you don't get a really good class.

Post by: Lary on 2012 Sep 06, 07:40:31
There's lots of competition out there on who can be the best at what class, though I'm not fond of straight PvP; whether it's a 1v1 skirmish or specializing in it for massive guild wars.

And then there's the Thief class, whose mere existence is enough to cause paranoia. More and more players around me are speccing into that...

It can be exciting, though, if you find enough easter eggs and have enough random encounters. Things got pretty interesting for me starting with Part 9 of the Education quest chain. It started getting a little too intense by Parts 11 and 12, though, especially when we ended up with more hostile players in Part 12.

Lots of violence and battles, and one player actually brought a gun to the stage early one morning and tried to chase down two other players with it. Luckily for them, one of the Criminal Justice teachers was duel-classing as Teacher and Police, and she scared him off. She was awesome.

I dunno what happened to him. He ran off and had escaped before the mods got there. Rumor had it, though, that he was a member of a guild from the east side of town.

I tell you, guild wars can be dangerous, especially if it's among players in the Education quest line while they're in an Education zone. :c

You know the whole dream thing they have in this game?
I think I'm glitching or something. I always have the "Lucid Dream" status effect when in a dream, and sometimes it pops up for a few moments when I'm out of one. Though that usually happens alongside the "Out of Focus" status.

I think I encountered a glitch once, too. I was doing the daydream thing, but then the game glitched out and thought I was in sleep mode or something. I couldn't move, and the daydream got creepy. I managed to get out of the glitch when one of my cats was meowing at me, though.

make a new server?  or transfer the excess to a new server.  I thought not too long ago they were talking about trying it, and they even set up some basic services, or were going to.

I thought the whole point was to GET to the new server, not the other way around.

And if they're just doing it to increase their Research skill, then they're a bit late on that. Some of the older players have already done it.

I think they're just trying to make more gold.  Who knows, their long-term goals are supposedly to get to the new server, but at the rate things are going, it'll probably not be for a while, when all our accounts are long expired.

The Neptune server is unstable and full of glitches. The Wind system is too overpowered, and you glitch right through the floor. The developers don't have any fixes at this time.

I don't think that would work, everyone will just pick awesome, lazy or profitable abilities, all the useful ones won't be picked.
That trail and error gives the game a interesting turn of events, one player even had a fitting, though cruel, theory about that.

The developers say to be patient. I recall a teleport system being developed, but they want it to be better than those other MMORPGs where you just say what place you want to go and you're there.

Think about it. In most MMORPGs, do you actually give the exact coordinate on where you want to go? No, you have a spawn point in a town or a dungeon. I think the Real Life developers want it better than that.
Plus, there'd be lots of security glitches with it. It could make the Robber class overpowered (at least the ones with a high INT stat), and people in the Law tech tree will be complaining in the millions.

Actually, speaking of which, I heard that they were working on a system with unlimited time subscriptions; they were talking about it for decades, and they keep saying it will happen "soon"; any update on that?

Lots of character archetypes, and too bad if you're not lucky enough to get to play ANY of them.  Pretty stuck where you start.
PvP?  Would be nice, except that YOU NEVER EVER REGENERATE IF YOU DIE.
High resolution? Then why do I have to BUY equipment for the Eyeglasses slot just to see?!

The problem with this game is it has way too many money sinks (for those who don't know: A money sink is a system set in place for the server to eat money from the player, removing it from circulation completely). It needs a better system for income for the players to obtain their currency.
