I was gonna check out the demo of that about 2 months ago, but you need to register, and I just wasn't willing to register on yet another forum for a simple demo.

Well, to be honest I wasn't really carried away with the "SS Wars" idea...the SS RPG has been going on for the better part of a year now, and we have finally reached the point where people are ~mostly~ happy with the settings and the gameplay. To be honest, I didn't feel it was appropriate to start changing anything other than names at this point.

 

The results speak for themselves. Currently we have two clans with over 1400 tallies each, and they are within 27 tallies of each other. For over two months this round has been going on, and the two leading clans are within 8 hour's worth of tallies of each other. It can't get more compe!@#$%^&*ive than that. We have a very rare system in place - an MMORPG with settings that promote even compe!@#$%^&*ion - most MMORPGs seemed destined to get one very old major clan that keeps destroying the latest round of newbies. Granted, the Gods have been around since this thing started and have been winning a lot of rounds, but its always by a nose, never by clear-cut, overstacked, why-did-I-ever-bother-to-start-playing kind of mismatches.

 

However, the other results say that the critical m!@#$%^&* of the SS RPG seems to be around 20 players, and frankly the core isn't built in such a way that can handle more than that. For instance, there's no limit on the sabber's end of sabotage, so if all our dreams came true and there was 1000 players, the one person could sab 999 people daily. There's no cap on mercs, so if mercs could have any kind of sane price on person could buy all of them.

 

Thus, I am into this new one because it probably will have more capacity, and its something different. I doubt we would be able to attach a Subspace theme to it though. The major thing I'd like to see is a demo from the admin side of things. I'd like to know if classes, weapons, spells, etc. can be customized. I mean, I for one don't want this to end up like Diablo II where the only strategy is choosing "Barbarian" as your class, being a lucky sob who wins the .001% chance of finding a high-quality item, and whirlwinding everything in sight. I for one would insist that the classes are balanced, the items don't get insanely powerfull (or the insanely powerfull ones have nasty side-effects), and each class would have several styles of play in and of itself. Futhermore, I'd also insist that the spell lists would include some comic relief spells. I mean, the classic thing evil mages do to people is turn them into various furry animals.

How would you even know what gameplay is like, animate, when you haven't been in for the last few rounds? People who play are happy with it, because they play it. Edited by Sound

Just because you're available to play it every minute of your life doesn't mean you're good, JDS. ATM, the winner is the player that can spend/bank his money before it's taken from him, i.e. the person with no life.

that may be true sound, but the person who has the time to comment and try to justify having a life is the person who has a more self consious way of thinking and living.. good job you fail

I went to try the demo just to see how it is. It doesnt seem that much different from IB Rpg but I dont know if we can even have IB Rpg since I think it runs on a different forum version. The interface isnt all that bad, it has some pictures and stuff to make it more fancy I guess. All the mod is, is that you have a character. You usually gain levels by killing monsters and when you do. You get some $ and some exp. You can have your own shop and sell !@#$%^&* to other people. You can buy equipment that can be only worn by your class or some others too. You can choose your class which affects your stats in the beginning and as you level as well as your element (wind, water, etc.) and your alignment (good, evil, etc.)

 

The only thing I dislike about it is that you can only choose to upgrade either Strength, Defense or Intelligence and what ever you choose affects your HP, MP, etc and class, alignment + element matters. Not sure if the admin set it like that or the mod is like that but IB Rpg allows you to upgrade Str, Def, Magic Atk, Magic Def, Speed, Accuracy, Hp, Mp, and luck which allows you to have a wide range of stats.

 

Its cool and all to have Subspace theme if the mod allows you to change the class names and stuff. But all I see in that is your just making it more complex. Like for example, you have classes such as: Knight, Archer, !@#$%^&*!@#$%^&*in, Mage, etc. Then you change it so their name becomes Warbird, Javelin, Lancaster, Weasel, etc. People cant tell what a warbird specialize in unless they read the faq/guide. That somewat may be a good thing, but it might backfire on you since the people now have to know what thor/rep does instead of knowing what a spear/bow does.

That sounds pretty nice, that way it looks like you CAN have a somewhat more skill based game, if a high stat player can counter another high stat player with a different stat, like strength vs intelligence, I don't know what it would be like.

And jds... Did you just tell me that if someone has time to make a post on forums, they have "no life?"

Yes dare, it requires abit more skills since you gotta think about what you upgrade unlike right now where everyone is pretty much doing the same piece of crap as the next person. Which is to upgrade UP for a while and then start buying tons and tons of weapons on atk/def/sab/sentry where in IBRPG, you can choose to upgrade skills and what not depending on your preference. Btw, if you played Ragnarok Online they seem to make IBRPG similar to that game.

 

Something I find also good is that if you dont have time to constantly be on, its not like your gonna have ur money stolen from you since i think PvP is only available through arena which people open a room in.

Well, the other nice thing... there is bots, and the amount are controllable, and some can be customized, etc. It sounds to have a bunch of cool features and all.

 

I'm gonna install it Tuesday and give it a test run and see how we like it.

Oh its like that? I think i played something just like that on a different forum, as bluntly as you said it though, that makes it sound much better than what we have now.

'VRPG' as you are calling it is super fun. There are countless stratagies, you just have to figure them out..

 

if you were involved in the clan fighting you would understand that 1337 soldeis and the gods have had a battle of Whits and skills to overcome our foe. 1337's latest move has put us drasticly in the leed.. but i can only imagine that a clever guy like dav is coming out with an appropriate counter.. only to lead the soldiers to counter again.

 

if you played ssrpg.. ACTUALY played it for how aileron has ment it to be.. you would understand that a game like this cant be rivaled with a trival NEW game that has more features.

 

 

il go so far in this edit to compare ssrpg = subspace where as IBRpg = some !@#$%^&*ty better graphic game.
