From what I've heard during my brief stints on IRC this round, The Fockers galaxies all provide #planetarion as a galaxy channel.

Some opinions may differ, but I think that is a great place for new players to start in order to receive help and guidance - and I doubt your private galchan can top the amount of conversations going on there.

Imagine the following situation, Zaeji.

Me, happy camper newbie, reads gal message and decides to join the galaxychannel #planetarion

- I enter that channel and I am baffled. So many players and we have just 10 or 11 ingal! How does this work? I say: are you all from 1:1?
End of story. -

Although I agree with you it is a great place to find advice etcetera it is not what someone would expect. And donot forget that people tend to learn better when they are taken into a smaller group.

Second, Ive seen a galchan named #fockers.tv which was empty. That wasnt much of help, don't you agree?

He's been told multiple times, ignore him, he's just fishing for a reaction.

Man, Orwell was right, things really do go to pot when the swine are left in charge. If guys like "[DDK]gm" (what, couldn't afford to buy a vowel?) are what passes for PA players these days, I'm sad. It also reaffirms that there is nothing here worth coming back to.

Oh well. It was fun once.

/me heads back to his Proteus.

Sadly Tis you are right.

Well, 50% right.

It is people like GM that are keeping this game going.

If you wanna come back though, I am sure we can create merry hell and give the boring people a run for their money!

How exactly is this experiment any different from the situation a few years ago Forest?

And henceforth, why are you all still here?

Assassin · 26 Oct 2012, 21:36

about time you returned wipeout

WipeOut · 27 Oct 2012, 10:25

I have not returned, nor am I planning to. I just found myself bored at work one day and checked up on how things were going here. Sadly, but therefore not much less expected; nothing much has changed. I do not have the time to stay up nights and nearly become an Australian to cope with the incomings that are sent at my arrogant planet every night.

One can only be appreciative and frankly almost awe-struck by the amount of dedication most of you still have for this game, or should I say its community? In all honesty, I feel kind of sad not being part of the core that is currently still holding this community together as somewhere I believe I should have been part of exactly that core.

This place used to be a place of war, politics (backstabbing - yes I have done my fair share of that) and thriving discussions. I do not understand how any owner of this game (and thus "owner" of its respective community) cannot see the immense potential in that.

Imagine if this community would pack up and collectively move towards another game which allows for the same political scheming and interaction. You guys would simply crush any opposition simply due to your experience. I remember when a large portion of the community left for EVE.... You guys are worth so much more than the hard code of this game that Spinner once created (no disrespect intended). You are of immense value and if Jagex does not recognize this potential, you should honestly shit on their faces and go elsewhere, collectively.

This community is much like Facebook; its worth not defined by matter or substance, but by intellectual value and seemingly limitless potential (making a comparison here as a positive remark - let's forget about the stock deprival of FB stock for a moment).

I wish you guys all the best of luck, and if there would be anything I could do personally, I honestly would. Be it financial support or time, but even though you as a community deserve all the help you can get to turn this game to the good, Jagex sadly does not deserve a penny of my hard earned cash.

Good luck guys, and if there ever will be an answer from Jagex followed by some concrete action towards the positive of the game, I hereby swear that I will send every ex NoS player a message and pay for their planet if they would desire to come back for a round.

As an ex-AD mod I feel rather sorry for derailing a thread on AD completely, but I somehow have the feeling no one will give a shit.
