Can't make RL $$ in HJ

[Rathgar]

Making RL $$ is not possible in HJ. If and when the game eventually comes out, much of it is built around gear leveling up with you and bound to one character. If gear is bound then I don't see much of a market arising at all. But then again, no info has been released...

[TheEschaton]

Will you stop making stupid ass threads that we've discussed for years on end forever? There's a search funtion, fucking use it. You don't need a new thread to make a declarative statement that there is little to no debate about.

I would have to say yes: You cannot make RL $$ in a game that does not exist. Debate that!

Prospecting! I'm actually in the process of trying to monopolize all voridinum ore so that I can make a killing selling the rights to mine it for RL $!

Stop being a retard.

[crazymage]

There will still be a currency that's transferable, and characters which will be transferable (probably for a fee!). Hence RL sales will still be there.

That reply was a little bit over the top E.

TheE is usually so nice and mild that when he gets really irate, it builds and builds AND BUILDS AND BUILDS AND THEN HE ASPLODES ALL OVER THE PC.

Same here. We should file a class action suit.


Your music tastes reek of the music elitist who is trying to impress people by showing them the most fucking obscure-ass music ever. Fuck off already. I enjoy Nirvana and Manson and Pink Floyd and the Beatles, all of whom I'm sure everyone has fucking heard of.

[Bobmuhthol]

I'm going to respond to the quote just because it's in front of me.

<<I enjoy Nirvana and Manson>>

Way to be queer.

[Blazing247]

Nothing wrong with Nirvana, they were a great band. You're too young to remember Bob, but they saved us from another decade of absolutely horrific, shit-brained and long-haired emoqueer ballad bands and changed the face of music, if only for a little bit.

I find myself being angry over the HJ threads as well. Each one I see pisses me off.

And yet I don't actually know why.

Maybe its just a new person coming here to talk about something that doesn't exist yet.

But still. I feel like an idiot for getting angry.

Any psychiatrist around these boards?

Perhaps I will stop using the New Posts button to bypass it.

[Drisco]

Hmm as a untrained professional in these parts I will diagnose you.

It seems your are stressed because this new game HJ is bound to fail and you know it, in yet it makes you angry because people are getting all hyped out about it. They annoy you because you find peoples insolence to be pathetic and below you which angers you.

Possibly the threat to your beloved game GS is making you anxious and you don't know which way this HJ game will go. It infuriates you because you wish they would already hurry the fuck up so would you know and stop leaving you in the dark about something people have been waiting for, fer foeva!

Or you could be an angry ass person and people annoy you in general when they are stupid and can't tolerate their stupidity so you smite them with your words of Wisdom and/or Justice.

See my previous post. Don't go outside, they are waiting for you.

[TheEschaton]

I find myself prone to irrational fits of hate more and more each day. I think law school is doing it to me.

The other day, I was going down the stairs to the subway when this woman STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STAIRS to look at her map (FUCKING GODDAMN SHITSTAINED TOURISTSSSSSS), blocking everyone from going down. I could SEE the fucking J train at the platform, and she seemed to only start moving again once she had decided there was no way any of us could actually catch that train.

I almost had an aneurysm.

[Sylvester]

I'm really curious about how HJ will affect simutronics' other products, namely Gemstone. There seems to be this abnormal connection between this text based game and many people. I have never seen this in any MMO group, and I played since the opening days of UO. I wonder, will HJ kill off Gemstone... it actually looks to be that way, but noone can know without it coming out.

Further, is it worth it to continue playing Gemstone knowing that it may be killed by HJ?

Would you still have fun in Gemstone when only 50 people are online?

Then again, will the game ever come out? Or will it come out next year?!

[mgoddess]

Dude. Can't you get a FUCKING CLUE and shut. the. fuck. UP?

Why are you so damn curious about people's lives and why they play GemStone versus other MMO's?


I have never seen this in any MMO group
You apparently haven't seriously played WoW. There's just as many WoW fanatics as there are GemStone fanatics... probably even more.

[TheEschaton]

SHUT THE FUCK UP.

please?

[Drisco]

Ahh the venom dripping out of this thread is orrible!!

[TheEschaton]

You know how they say there's no such thing as a stupid question?

They're wrong.

[Drisco]

He speaks truth

[Celephais]

The fact that people still play EQ 1, and that there are even people who still play UO is a pretty good indication that MMOs do not die... ever... once it's been developed and the servers purchased it's a pretty low overhead market to maintain.

[Methais]

Making RL $$ is not possible in HJ. If and when the game eventually comes out, much of it is built around gear leveling up with you and bound to one character. If gear is bound then I don't see much of a market arising at all. But then again, no info has been released...

They also said that about WoW. Not like it matters anyway, HJ will never come out, so yeah, making money in a game that doesn't exist will be pretty impossible.

That's when you yell something along the lines of 'keep it moving slut' or 'get the fuck out of the way you dumb bitch.'

Misogyny is a great way to get a woman to do what you want.

No, it's when you push her down the stairs and then say you accidentally bumped into her because she was dumb enough to stop in the middle of the stairs where people behind her were still moving, just before boarding your train and getting out of there.

[Hulkein]

That works too. I was imagining him being a few people behind her though.

[TheEschaton]

Yeah, I was a few people back. And there was a stream of people coming up the other side of the stairs...from the train at the platform...so it was crowded.

[Celephais]

Just push the person directly in front of you then. They'll get blamed for it, and if they blame you, blame the person behind you.

Domino effect ftw.

Numbers-wise there are far more players of WoW, obviously. Figuring out "fanatics" would be a bit harder.

This was an interesting read by Ricard Bartle, one of the first MUD (Multi-User Dungeons, aka text-based gaming worlds) developers:
http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/games/archives/2007/07/17/id_close_world_of_warcraft_mud_creator_richard_bar tle_on_the_state_of_virtual_worlds.html

Interesting, and slightly relative to this thread, for the WoW tangent and for his later talk of "Hero's Journey" in the blog portion.

Just thought i would share it.

[Skeeter]

do people still play the original Zork?

[Sean of the Thread]

Zork.. rofl.

I'm still waiting for a sweet ass mmorpg based on pirates or fallout or the wild west. Fuck HJ.

[Ignot]

Westerns kickass. Gunsmoke......

[liquiddrool]

There is a pirates one, it sucks(IMHO).
