If I sign up, can I skip to level 20?

That said, I was at an IC event the other night where people were ICly spouting wiki URLs and using words that were referencing cars and driving, and no one batted an eyelash. I found myself longing for just a little bit of RP integrity.

Platinum is probably held to those standards better, but Prime used to be a nice middle ground. In many cases it still is, but if platinum were the standard, or had a playerbase, it'd be the place for me.

It's about what you want out of the game. None of this happens in Platinum. *shrug*

I wish.

what event was that?

what event was that?

The kind used to illustrate a concern rather than tattle on people. It was a fun event regardless, but having things held to a slightly higher standard in Prime on the whole, as in the 90s and early 2000s, would be nice. There's a lot of things that fly now that would never have "back in the day". Don't need to name specific names for anyone to acknowledge that.

If anyone does decide to try it out, here's a little list to help with setting up ;go2 for use in Platinum with our portals. It won't overwrite anything you have in Prime.

1. ;go2 list
2. backup your custom targets (precaution)
3. ;repo download go2.lic
4. ;repo download-mapdb
5. ;repo set-mapdb-updatable
6. Set go2 variables
a. ;go2 --fwi-trinket="trinket name"
b. ;go2 --portals=on
c. ;go2 --portal-pass=<on|off>

All that is only required if someone has previously played and used plat_updater.lic

Every character mine encounters are just so dang friendly in Platinum.
And I pop into Plat during late hours and always find someone. I go out for a hunt and come back, there's someone sitting at the small park (Landing) or TC (Icemule). Or just wandering around somewhere, he'll pass by someone(s).
During peak hours if my character is in game, I like not having sit in an area with another 20 or so competing for attention *LOL* ... everyone gets some kind of attention... whether you want it or not. Unless of course you just sit there like a stone statue.

I'd say if I ever really got back into playing GS again, it'd be Plat. Less people, but when you rule out Bots and AFK people, it isn't really that much less than Prime... And due to portals, you really aren't stuck in one town for hunting.

There are some not so nice people in Plat, persona-wise. You'll see.

Best part of Platinum is the ability to be diverse. The means to have a unique persona provides a real means to invest into the roleplay you want, without getting washed out by the multitudes in Prime. Prime is still an amazing place, but it is certainly easier to attain a true in-depth persona in Platinum.

For the "there's no one there herp-herp-herp" crowd, it happens sometimes but if you mention you'll be at so-and-so place others will ( normally ) come around. Most people are on Lich and scripting their hunting, though so you have the freedom to do what you want, and when you want to roleplay you can.
