Really good three part series on "The F-Words of MMORPGs (Fairness, Faucets, F2P)"; last one is just gold.

Hmmm. Nope, I don't understand.


Maybe I don't know where I'm coming at either.

It's like this, some people might absolutely abhorrere (is that even a word in English) being a glass cannon all the time given the aggro deal, and never pick up the ring, or outright call it a terrible ring, and might like something like it instead work like a Buff.

But then again, others might prefer the thing lasting forever, specially, hum, Papa Saw spammers.

I find it amazing that, if BOTH existed as different rings, there would be arguments started on the pointlessness of the "buff one" with the existence "permanent one", being better than the first, where people would constantly argue back that it is not.

I would just go asking around for opinions on it.

You just made me realize zOMG! has a "Tiredness" or "Energy" approach, to gold. Weird thinking of it like that.

Oh well, I actually don't dislike the approach entirely, but I still find the cap a bit too low. And the Gold/Donator thing is just too badly performed given that the gold is essentially a ******** you (Donators wouldn't get them, and those who are forced to because they can't even do offers get a shitastic "3 days", essentially a ******** you)

Gaia likes ITEMS, gaians gain gold for ITEMS. Why the ******** can't we play zOMG! to get ITEMS then?

Why do I have to click to speed up? Why don't they simply give me the reward? What's the point of the game? What's all this other stuff do? 6d23hXXm? ...Am-I reading that right? WTFudge, man? ._o

edit: ...BRAG!? What has the world come too? D:

edit: "As part of our ongoing evil effort to make Gaia more and more" like Facebook! Har, I bet that's what thousands of Gaians must be are thinking ¯3¯

Speed up saves you 5 minutes for free. It all ends up stacking a lot of time.

The huge timer is your "newb protection" so you don't get raped by high leveled players early on.

Brag is just a less subtle way of doing facebook notifications

I'm going to play this game until I DESTRO Panagrammic... Or would, but they fa- ... the wuss ran away from my map.

Guessed as much. Just not my kind of stuff.

edit: beyond cultural shock, pretty cool. The waiting's a pain.
Now to make my own Gaia/zOMG! themed version.

...fling fluffs, Landshark...ring towers...Ghi nodes...

I hate the shitty map

You keep being teleported to players close to your level.

That beats the whole point of newb protection or the whole deal on keeping farms alive in this kind of games.

but specially... I got teleported away from panaggrammic.

Sooooooo glad they dropped the mid-thread ads. I bet they got a lot of nasty comments in SF about it.


In other news, what's with this Alchemy thing, and how can we get zOMG into the mix?
PostPosted: Sat Aug 20, 2011 4:53 am


No u.

They're Epics spread "all over the site", with levels:
- Get Formula
- Get stuff
- Pay to try, your lvl must be equal or higher than the item's
- Fail = lose cash, try again
- Win = lose EVERYTHING, dundundun, gain item, gain xp
- xp = item's level
- xp to level = your current level * 10
- You don't gain xp from items that are your level - 2 or less
- "Stuff" includes... lots of stuff, notably new loot of rare origins, zOMG! loot, and CS... stuff.

Plug zOMG! at the Formula or Stuff level, possibly convert Recipes to this system.
Obvious and I'm sure you've figured all that out :V
Let's-do-this-for-all-the-formulas The Great

Non-zOMG! idea I want yer'pinions on: essentially this. Other thread.

"I'll buy X for Yg" offers on the marketplace.
- Sellers compete by lowering
- Buyers by increasing ("permanent" auction)
- Better idea of actual demand
- Sellers can go for a quick sell/ Selling and Buying can occur in parallel
- Buyers don't have to be "present" to buy same way Sellers currently don't ( increased contact area)
- Possibly: Buyer sets aside 5K to buy a 100 Z at 50g each, multiple Sellers could fill that demand (Seller A sells 12, Seller B 5, Seller C 12...) instead of the Buyer doing all the work. ( load spread/parallel, speed gain )

End result: more, quicker transactions.

A buyer's marketplace?

...

Actually,, I find that to be a terribly great idea. They should really consider going ahead with this!

Of course, that is, given you have to lose your money temporarily to make the offer, and there's a limit of 10 offers, so that peopler can't spam the Marketplace with them (except for 1g offers, which would always be below all other serious offers anyways).

It'd be interesting if it was mixed with the other listings just to screw over the Marketplace Snipers.

The moment I submited the above post:

AnnaKyoyama358 purchased your "Tsunami KO Classic Shirt" in the Marketplace for 2400 gold


>Check Marketplace
>Notice Inconsistency
>Go to Ian's Shop
>Spend 1200g
>Get 2400g in return

Wow, Alchemy is bizarre.

LET'S TRY AGAIN!

edit:
It sold again...

The other top price rose to 9k. Let's try selling for 5k now...

Does it feel like I'm bragging?

On one side, I feel bad for doing this.

On the other side...
