Im just wanting to see what the general consensus is. Is PA still worth playing? or is it just too much of a waste of time for so little enjoyment?

Are most alliances expecting most people to come back? or are they expecting a low turn out?

Im still undecided atm, but I dont know if I can really be bothered spending so much effort on something that seems like such a waste of time.

Anyone wish to convince me otherwise and that PA is still 'worth' it?

And are YOU going to play R10?

Thats a stupid answer. ofc he will play he creates this game, i dont think there is no reason not to. ta.

Legator · 19 Aug 2003, 06:53

dont like it atm but will play it at least round 10.

why im playing i explained in my pax thread a few lines below.

shortly said i play because i love my alliance and not because i like the changes.

McNeil · 19 Aug 2003, 06:57

i have the same reason as Legator

KinGSmity · 19 Aug 2003, 06:59

I think most people do, i believe most would be only playing for there alliance and not because of the changes, i can only really see the old alliances, more commited and been around since the start playing so i think we will still see old faces, with maybe some new ones, but i think it`ll still be the same as usual but i think it`ll be more much challenged this round and i assume most top players will hand around to see what the changes will be like.

I personally see myself staying around to see what changes go and to see if it makes this game anymore interesting, i will be deciding after rd10 wether to stay around or not.

Gerbie · 19 Aug 2003, 07:24

Probably but I'm not absolutely sure.

I started playing several other games. And I'm not sure I would want to reduce my efforts there for a game like Pa X. I just don't know what to expect, so I aim for more games then just PA. I will need to prioritize sooner or later because my time is limited (you can only play one game right).
If it turns out the way I fear it will be, then it will be a waste of my money. I'll probably buy an account though. I enlisted in another alliance and I don't want to let them down beforehand. But I might just not be as active as the last rounds.
And it will probably be my last.

Jonas · 19 Aug 2003, 07:32

So generally PA lives on the community and alliances that it created when it was free?

I'm playing r10, even tho im negative to all the changes. Ill give it a shot, as ive been negative to other things that the creators didi, but ended up liking it.

Tietäjä · 19 Aug 2003, 08:16

I'd play, but I've got this little thing called matricular examination going on in September, so I'm swamped with school.

Maybe I'll give 11 a try if we're still on.

KoeN · 19 Aug 2003, 08:43

i'm not sure. i was very positive when i first heard about R10, but now this preview turned out to be yet another lie from pa-team (you can't test a game in one week, ánd donate money in time imo) i don't know if i'm willing to pay 10 euros for a game i don't know, in a universe that will be undoubtly smaller than in R9 even.

Andy_r · 19 Aug 2003, 10:06

I'll be playing :-)

isildurx · 19 Aug 2003, 10:08

Im allianceless, and im OFC gonna play.

Mr. Juggalo · 19 Aug 2003, 11:50

nope, it gets in the way of real life to much. it's more hassle than its worth

JC · 19 Aug 2003, 12:05

I'll play r10, but the way i'm feeling about PA right now i would be surprised if i bother coming back for r11.

aza1 · 19 Aug 2003, 12:59

It just seems like most ppl have left over the few last rounds and the attraction to play a rd10 with a yet again smaller player base isn't that appealing.

Cant say that im overly fond of the way the "preview" is going to happen either, quite frankly it reeks, but i guess it will "force" some of the more competitive minded ppl to pay for r10 at the least, with the free universe having a size limit where the excess get lost in the transfer and all..

As for the topic at hand, thats why im not likely to pay nor play after the first 2 weeks.

Structural Integrity · 19 Aug 2003, 14:12

I'm not going to play rnd10... I might hang around a bit in the free part of the universe to check it out, but that's it.
The prices are too expensive for a service that isn't guaranteed a certain lifespan (ie: you can't tell how long a round lasts) and thereby, I have a school to attend. Playing PA isn't going to help me do that.

davidb · 19 Aug 2003, 14:48

well im gonna play for sure,
i didnt know what the exspect about pax but now seing the beta i am gonna change my mind and play it
seeing how it goes in r10 is weather or not ill stay until r11 if there is gonna be a r11

JonnyBGood · 19 Aug 2003, 14:58

I'll doubtlessly be here until they throw me out. Can't summon up enough enthuasiasm to play properly, can't summon up enough enthuasiasm to quit heh.

Wandows · 19 Aug 2003, 15:25

i'll be flying around the universe =) can't leave my alliance alone, they would he helpless without me

davidb · 19 Aug 2003, 15:43

yeah every alliace needs pe0ns wandons

Chax · 19 Aug 2003, 15:57

wether after the free trial period I'll actually play or not depends more on my finacial situation at the time payment is needed than anything else.

I just got the bill for the first month of daycare for my son, and compared to that PaX is cheap.

Stress · 19 Aug 2003, 16:02

Ill play, to those wondering

Tempestuous · 19 Aug 2003, 16:44

I cant stand another moment of this game.

Veil05 · 19 Aug 2003, 17:29

i might depending on when starting date is, if its 1 week after sign ups i doubt it ill b in tenerife

MegaNova · 19 Aug 2003, 18:31

Ill play, maybe only to see the game in normal ticks, instead of those Beta ticks.

Its a totaly new game. and ill try it. mainly also becouse it has started to be a habit

Spinner · 19 Aug 2003, 18:32

I'll play (-:

I really don't understand people like you, how can you compare a beta to a real round?

PA has been made to be 'fun' for the majority of players by their alliances and abilty to play the game because ticks are an hour long.

Those that are quitting because they don't like beta are not sampling the new round at all. I'm not saying R10 will be fun, I am simply pointing out that judging it by a 2 minute tick beta with less than 200 players is a bit shallow.

I can compare the beta to the real round with ease.

After all, in previous rounds beta's, its not like we had huge changes.

[edit] I also enjoyed the other rounds beta's.

Maybe you were one of the poor people that were upset that this beta actually required testing to be done, thus meaning you weren't allowed to treat it like a free speed round.

No, I'm one of the poor people who saw the game they loved desacrated.

PAX is about as good as a crappy clone now, and theres no way in hell I would pay for it.

WipeOut · 19 Aug 2003, 20:48

I'll have a planet.. or two.

I won´t be playing, but hardly a surprise.

Has nothing to do with how PaX turns out though.

Psi_K · 20 Aug 2003, 02:48

Kile, if you don't play, I'm gonna kill you

I'm playing ... cuz I bought a credit ... :eek:

Kileman · 20 Aug 2003, 03:42

If Fury came back im pretty sure id play to some extent, eclipse to me just seems like a Fury clone, and doesnt have the same atmosphere and reputation to give it the 'feel' that I had come to love.

For me, pa was all about the people, but it seems that so many people have moved on and given up. The community just isnt there anymore

Although in saying that, ill play if I get my GF4

Why would it have to be fury?

Maybe a new start for PA would could offer you a new start in another alliance?

I know that feeling. I couldn't care less about the actual game or even my planet in it, I'm only working for the FAnG community and PA is just one of the games we play.

So that's my job, whether it's for PA or lazy larry Suit 7 xxx etc I don't really care
