Anyone play Real Life, that old MMORPG that's been around for ages?

[Flamestriker]

I hate the patches....

[Little Judas]

They should patch up the governments but no, they just program more raids and team deathmatches.

[Flamestriker]

True, in fact, the government is worse than ever now. I've reported it, but it hasn't gotten implemented yet.

[~Durpy]

This game is terrible you can't respawn unless you use the hax!!!

[The Wandering Magus]

they should actually TELL you what the abilities are, not just leave it all to trial and error or word of mouth.

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.

But you can only play once, and since you can't re-spec that means major issues all around.

I know right? But the graphics are amazing! No pixelation or anything!

I dunno. I've gotten visual problems before. Once, while I was in fact wearing my glasses, I stared up at the leaves on some trees for a while, and they turned kinda blurry and looked almost like big blurry pixels.

[Flamestriker]

Well, it depends on the CPU. There are also some effects which can change sight.

[The Wandering Magus]

they should upgrade the quick travel routes and the mounts, things are so SLOW!  There isn't even a teleport option, and every other game I know has those in some form or another.

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.

[The Wandering Magus]

Ah, yes, the robber class, that WOULD pose a problem.  ANd of course all those cheaters with hacks.  Well, I hope the update comes before my subscription ends...

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?

They also said some years ago that they would update lead (Pb) but that patch still hasn't been released.
I think some of the developers are quite lazy over there.

[The Wandering Magus]

*sigh* maybe we could send them messages... oh wait, they've been sending messages since the game started, haven't they?

[Flamestriker]

They've probably been flooded with rants and requests, they're working as hard as they can.

[The Wandering Magus]

no wonder my messages never get any replies...

[Lord of Madness]

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.


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

omg I just simply love this.

They lied about half of those, and the other half they took out of context

no monthly fee?  yeah right, maybe no out-of-world monthly fee, but everything you do in-game has charges, even eating!
massive world?  good luck getting a mount, and even then you'll have to take HOURS to get ANYWHERE.
"incredible" AI? PFF, their AI sucks.  The place is mostly run by players anyways.  Of course, there are those who say everyone else is a bot.
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?!

lies, all lies
