Topic: Faldon officially ruled dead by Coroner Coma...

Apparently from what I understand there is a new client/game coming out probably within six moths or so.  But faldon will still be around, so being as little worked on in the last 3+ years i doubt anything new is going to happen or anything to benfit the game in general.  If im correct to assume that the new game will be coming out, and faldon still standing  left to rott away, but also that the new game will yet be hosted on the same "Zerver" as faldon.. so hows that going to balance out?  There is hardly enough bandwidth as of now, let alone another client/game server... I propose that Zer or Coma come out with it honestly.  If faldon is dead, refund the current C's there money and shut teh game down or something, jesus you owe us at least an explination well before a Six month perod...  Just at least tell us something as a coommunity please.

And what the hell is going on? crovax removes guardians after he gets his 180+ zerk so nobody else could use them (not like you could really macro there anyway, being someone would kill you as you couldn't aura while zerked).  And removing the warp to the tiger spawn.  Choosing heartlilly of all unlikely peopel to be the "trial war guy" as he so graciously put it. 
Liek what the hell has been going on with the "important" decision making, i haven't really seen any good player->power selections as of late.  Some people may be good for the job but others are completely useless.  If they can't script or have the time or will power to edit and improve the game, demote them to an M if not already, at least that way you know they are not giving items away to their "group" of "friends".
Anyway im sure this will go ignored as everything else i have tried to improve faldon, but as time goes over i seem to be getting nastier as i am losing patience and faith in the whole management side of faldon.  Taking me a long time, but I like teh same so much I just don't want to watch it go to a waste because lack of effort or decision making.

Anyway, shit on me all you want people, that is my opinion, I am entitled to one seeings how I have been a paying player for over 3 years and have always tried to help the game and community.  Don't hate me for my being "nasty" its just the passion of a dissapointed man.  :oops:

Re: Faldon officially ruled dead by Coroner Coma...

Its funny you should mention being so little worked on, as faldon is being worked on more now than at any point since this client went public.

You might get farther in your gm quest if you weren't constantly being a back-biter and/or stopped making stuff up. Case in point, you seem to be tryng to spread the perception that faldon essentially ripped off code and art from... who knows where. We both know thats flat out not true, everything in faldon is 100% original.

If faldon is dead then why are there still plenty of people playing and why are we working on new functionality for the current client? Are we developing another game at the same time? Possibly. If so that's going to balance out to the tune of 5 megabits, which we are in the process or ordering (colocated, easy upgrade). If we do debut another game will the same C buy access to both? Probably. Will any new game be pay only? Almost certainly.  Is Faldon "dead"? Hardly.

Sorry, the sky isn't falling, as much as some people would like to believe it.

I'll never say you don't have a right to an opinion, even if it sharply disagrees with reality.

Re: Faldon officially ruled dead by Coroner Coma...

Well would it kill you guys to keep people updated, and if things ARE being done, it definately wouldn't hurt to share the information by giving people some hope.  Peopel who PAY to play teh game would like to hear positive things man, It makes things all the better.

And as for my "quest" fo GM it was well over before it began we BOTH know that. 
And the idea which you have about faldon being "dead" or not is based on money, if you have peopelplaying you have money, so as long as you have money its fine, but for people who pay the money are getting frustrated that they don't see any real positive changes, the suggestion board was established for a reason was it not?

I think simple suggestions like the penwick duels, Christopher Reeves getting a tombstone etc.. shouldn't really be that hard to do.

And as I have heard from many players inside the game and outside, the game has a lot of player but what about the quality of players?  Most are using chars, macroed hacked etc.. that are making it unpleasent for people trying to get a fresh legit start.  Stop worrying about the money so much, I know its a good investment to you, a few hours a month, few conversations, making an appearance here and there to tie people over is fine from someone like zer, but people have/had respect for you that to see you online and say something positive about the game would make their gameplay and attitudes better.  Most don't care now, they have bad attitudes and such cheated chars that they feel invincible to other players and GM/M punishment.  Most high level players get jailed for a few days yet seem to get out before their alotted time, wheras other not so popular peopel get jailed and skills reduced, and the reduction of their skills isn't as important as some of the super high lvl people.  I think someone should clean the clientel up a bit.

Lately its been getting worse, people getting special privelages or whatnot from GM's who do not deserve it or who have not earned it is sickening.
Heartlilly has been muted/booted so many times by the current M's and has not had a great past nor current political record with most anyone talks to crovax and then gets special treatment? something isn't right here, people in certain groups got so powerful so quick, and im sure there are reasons beyond reckoning legitimately...

anyway once again thsi will get ignored or negative feedback because certain people will take it personally and not see it from a standpoint of a player of the game for years. I know faldon, I know the people,  I wasn't born yesterday.  I just wish certain people's ideas and constructive critisism would get taken seriously and not as a personal attack.
Like I've always said, i liek teh game, its great, it has potential, i just hate seeing it wasted because of certain people and giving it to certain people.

Re: Faldon officially ruled dead by Coroner Coma...

I have to agree with James on this one.  Honestly your working on Faldon and this 'other game' at the same time? That's gotta show your either doing little for Faldon or the new game is just going to be crap.  Whats the point of a new game if you don't even update the old one?

If your updating stuff or whatnot show it like James said.  And would it honestly be so damn hard to just set a spawn for the monsters and make all the items droppable?  Thatd help this game so damn much.

Also you need active GM's/M's, all the current ones are gone, you dont see them anymore, except for the occasional Crovax(i know hes busy with school) and theres Zoluk who does his share and Master_Wu whos back but completely lost.  Everytime you make someone a M or GM they always quit cuz they arent really all that devoted to the game in the first place, most would just like power.  I'm quite sure there are much better players who have been around for a long time and deserve to be an M or GM.  Someone whos stuck with Faldon through all the crap its gone through....n yea I dunno what to say anymore I'll post more later.

Re: Faldon officially ruled dead by Coroner Coma...

Most are using chars, macroed hacked etc

I agree with this, since lack of M's and GM's from the past year. But only a wipe can fix that. I help as much as I can to remove any current cheating.

Most high level players get jailed for a few days yet seem to get out before their alotted time, wheras other not so popular people get jailed and skills reduced

I jail people fair, I cant jail some high level because of there past. I don’t let anyone out early, and when they have been jailed to many times, they get a skill reset, It doesn’t matter who they are.

Lately its been getting worse, people getting special privileges or whatnot from GM's who do not deserve it or who have not earned it is sickening.

special privileges as in? because I don’t see anyone getting special privileges from GM's.


Heartlilly has been muted/booted so many times by the current M's and has not had a great past nor current political record with most anyone talks to crovax and then gets special treatment?

I haven’t seen him Muted/booted before, and I don’t see what’s wrong with his past record. He has suggested ideas for wars to me many times before, and he’s doing a fairly good job for a trial run.

Dont look down here, my message is up there.

how can you jail people fairly if you don't jail certain high levels because of their past...

special privileges as in? because I don’t see anyone getting special privileges from GM's.

 
Read the above, and yes, M's and GM's like everyone else, were players  who have friends and favorite people... don't lie because you wuouldn't boot/mute/skill reset your best friend will you? I would, I have taken their items from their account until they smartened up when they were acting foolish, it worked too.


I haven’t seen him Muted/booted before, and I don’t see what’s wrong with his past record. He has suggested ideas for wars to me many times before, and he’s doing a fairly good job for a trial run.

LOL are you really that naive? oh wait your his friend I forgot.
You are also a rather new player compared to most, and from what I remember from your char you were nothing more than an annoyance, attacking people while using the spawn bug.   Unless you gave your character away. You cursed everyone up and down, threatened, cheated and stole. And don't deny it because I hear it everyday from the older members who are furious that all these newer players got powers over them where they deserve it and had put their honest time into this game and their MONEY....

You don't think other people have suggested all these "new" ideas to everyone else before? most people gave up, christ read the suggestion board or some other posts.

I suppose the game is now more dominant to certain timezones as on american/canadian timezones there is NO M or GM ever on anymore so it just seems fair that there only be help, wars, items given out etc.. on other time zones,  if that keeps up I'm sorry but its mostly american/canadian people paying the money for the game, popularity in the other timezones doesnt mean crap because most of the other timezone Citizens get their C accounts from americans, and what happens when the americans gets upset? they quit, and when they quit who is going to pay C?
there should be M's and GM's in all timezones, because sometimes( no EVERYTIME) I logon, before or after work, and the game is FULL of macroers, they just never seem to be punished... is there any special reason? they are usually higher lvl players with friends of people but if things were fair ......

Yet again as for my quest for GM apparently it works on the # of votes from other M's and GM's, up until now i have talked to each individually and all said they would support me, but after this i odubt it, most peopel cannot take constructive critisism so it usually turns out a bad way, If they just realised I wanted the game just to be fair to everyone regardless of who, and the game to improve from time to time.
But now after this post I know things will change because I meantioned "certain timezones".  So I don't see anyone being chosen who has been around awhile, being on canadian/american timezone on a regular basis, someone who actually has/deserves respect from players, someone who will be fair and someone capable to do the job if allowed.

But yeah, ya know what screw it, there is no sense beating a dead dog with a broken stick.

Re: Faldon officially ruled dead by Coroner Coma...

Yet another really good point, I don't see any M's on at all till like 1-2am (EST) and during that time there are so many people just sittin around macroin skills.  GM/M's in most time zones (THAT LOG ON) would be really helpful.

I even sat at the computer last night holding ctrl to make it look like i was macro leveling, and within 30 mins Zoluk was on.  Yet during the day time (EST) I can do it for hours upon hours.

Does no one 'important' realise the obvious?!?! So many things are staring people right in the face yet they just dont get it.

Re: Faldon officially ruled dead by Coroner Coma...

I agree with most of the stuff said.

However, special treatment?  I am a popular
player, and my treatment seems to be reversed.
I was "Macroing" and got jailed twice for it, not
only was I jailed twice, I lost 200 skill points.
I was not even AFK. I was in the opinion of the
people who "caught" me using a macro to respond
to them, and it wasnt me... So for a first offense
even, I should not lose anything, yet I lost MANY
points, including my Wiz... which was 140... and
was brought down to the point where I fizzled EBOLT...
And I was there... Yeah.. I guess thats a kind of
special treatment... I have played for years, and
have NEVER been caught macroing, because I
NEVER macro. Lothar has 2 jailings. One from a
GM doing an event, I cast a spell when I wasnt
supposed to. And one where the jailing was
removed INSTANTLY, because it was a mistake.

Lothar2 has two jailings as well, BOTH from the
time when I was "AFK macroing" even though I
was not...

Another mistreatment upon me, maybe you will
read this Coma. I had my character TAKEN from
me. The account email CHANGED without my
permission. So I started a new char, seeing how
GMS don't care what I have to say... I got him
to 131, and with 140 wiz 130 magery. While legitly
raising skills, they were all dropped. Now I have
had a level 300 char stolen from me and my skills,
this is terrible for a game to be run this way.

Back on topic:

It's true, there are hardly any mods on when I'm around.
Until 12 AM... Sad..  I have wanted a mod title, and even
GM like James has. I have been turned down each time.
Probably because my long lasting show of respect for the
game, and for other players. I have never scammed a
player, macroed or anything... I don't sit in the chat using
fowl language, calling people "Niggers" or anything. I get
along with the dutch, with chinese, etc. Only people I don't
get along with is Faldons Plague, a bunch of players who
base their gaming on RACISM. It seems to me however,
the title goes to the newer players, who have not even had
time to prove themselves. Then another problem, mods quit
and never lose title???? Master_wu has not been an active GM
for about 2+ years AT LEAST, he comes back, and has title
still? If a mod quits, they should lose title.

If you guys ever need an M or GM, I am here. I have proven
trustworthy over the years. I have been programming for
5+ years, and enjoy it very much. I would be more than
willing to map edit/script. Or even just moderate whatever
you need me to do... Until then, good luck with picking
people that you don't believe just want the power.


PS: James, I do not believe that a new game on the same
server would cause problems. I do not think the problem
with the server is bandwidth. It seems the problem is
the server itself. Too much for it to handle, maybe best
thing to do would be to rewrite it. Possibly in C this time.

Re: Faldon officially ruled dead by Coroner Coma...

Lothar isn't yours anymore! LOL, stolen... That could've been the case, but it wasn't... and since you still log him anyway, no reason to complain. And not losing all your points, even if you shouldn't have lost any at all, is special treatment, most people get them all dropped, at least back when I was still playing sort of regularly.


If faldon isn't dying, why don't we have gm's or m's on normally, and the ones that do go on are generally VERY biased. The m's not so much as the gm's but corruption comes to mind all the same. For instance, I've been warped to someones guildhall, inside, so that the guild members could kill me, and I had no chance... Not only that, but when I died, I was instantly ported there again.

I don't even play faldon anymore because it's so god forsaken laggy. I have a level 330+ and I have ALOT of trouble killing people that aren't even level 100, not because I suck, even if I did suck it would be hard to lose, but because of the lag I'm almost never where it shows(bad server client relations are another reason this happens though)... Anyway, i was just stopping by... Say YOU SUCK faldon...

Re: Faldon officially ruled dead by Coroner Coma...

It may not be mine. BUT, it was stolen. Stolen due to the
fact that they FAILED to ask me for permission, and thats
horrible for a person running a game no matter how you
look at it.

And you say its good I didnt lose them all? They NEVER
reset all skills. Skills are only to be reset at all after 5
jailings, and I was told, only 50%. I WAS NOT AFK.
Did not macro, and still, lost skills, on what would have
been my first offense. I am not saying I want Lothar back
I'm saying it was wrong to have been taken...

Re: Faldon officially ruled dead by Coroner Coma...

We both know thats flat out not true, everything in faldon is 100% original.

Excuse me? Faldon is hardly original.

Re: Faldon officially ruled dead by Coroner Coma...

James, I feel ya man...I think you have best expressed/described important points regarding Faldon and you know I agree with most.

Wondering...are Tim and his brother really fighting here or wtf?

Re: Faldon officially ruled dead by Coroner Coma...

how can you jail people fairly if you don't jail certain high levels because of their past...

so your saying I should jail everyone that has rep cheated, macroed, zhack. etc in there past?, If that’s the case that will be a heap of people in jail.

Read the above, and yes, M's and GM's like everyone else, were players who have friends and favorite people... don't lie because you wuouldn't boot/mute/skill reset your best friend will you? I would, I have taken their items from their account until they smartened up when they were acting foolish, it worked too.

Then you don’t know me very well … I have jailed a few friends for macroing, and muted a heap of my friends. And yes if it does come to skill resetting a friend, I would. If I do see any M’s/GM’s giving special privileges,  I would easy tell Zer.

LOL are you really that naive? oh wait your his friend I forgot.
You are also a rather new player compared to most, and from what I remember from your char you were nothing more than an annoyance, attacking people while using the spawn bug. Unless you gave your character away. You cursed everyone up and down, threatened, cheated and stole. And don't deny it because I hear it everyday from the older members who are furious that all these newer players got powers over them where they deserve it and had put their honest time into this game and their MONEY....

Well where you received this crap from?… New? I’ve been playing this game over 2.5 years. Really I never had anything to  do with you, so I don’t see how I could be annoying to you., I never really pked, and if I did It was usually only a fun war, I was always a mage so I would never use the spawn bug. Tho my char had been stolen, So I wouldn’t know what happened then. I have never cursed/threatened/cheated/stole, I have never even said the word “kos” heh. On another note, crovmon looked at Heartlilly’s past, he was the one who chosen him, so there Isn’t really anything against him.

And yes there should be more M’s, and that is why I have asked/ suggested a few people.

Dont look down here, my message is up there.

Re: Faldon officially ruled dead by Coroner Coma...

I jail people fair, I cant jail some high level because of there past.

once again i point this out since you missed it 3 times already.
"I cant jail some high level because of there past."
so obviously some people with you get special treatment.

Thats fine, and as i stated before whoever had your char about 2 years ago was an ass, they would spawn clit and mouth off, steady.  I'm not the only one who remembers, if it was the person who stole it fine, it was that person. I never said it was you i said it was whoever owned the char at the time, you seem to be doing a very good job as a moderator now though, other than admitting you hand out special treatment because of your past with people.  And if you mean it as they were once bad and now good that you cna't hold that against them then your wrong, im being held accountable for my past 4 years ago by coma, he has teh idea that people don't change, so he keeps an eye out, you know the high level people still macro and cheat.

regardless it makes no difference, nothing is going to change yet again i waste my time.

Re: Faldon officially ruled dead by Coroner Coma...

Sure I would like to jail all the past macroers, rep cheaters, spamers, dupers, etc before I became M, heh a heap of people sure would be in jail. Most tho have stoped there crap, and some I alway keep a eye on. I always try to keep things fair as much as possible.

and faldon needs working on, gms very rarely log and and hen they do they dont do that much, i think its time for a new gm that is goona work on the new map this game was promised to us to be up around september its now november and still no news on how close it is to be finishing.

Re: Faldon officially ruled dead by Coroner Coma...

well not like peopel capable to HELP this game out haven't offered their assistance or anything.  I just don't think coma or zer want anything done with the game as they keep picking people who die off or just have no skills. so as far as im concerned im no longer offering my services, they will have to ask me because as far as im concerned its a dead end until they make the step to prove otherwise.

Re: Faldon officially ruled dead by Coroner Coma...

i really like this game so im going to give a little input on this,

im going to start right off and tell you that im NEW to this game,not that it matters all that much the way i see it. i have noticed that outta the month ive been playing,i have seen a GM online 1 time (master wu) and hardly ever any mods,also i agree with people about all hte marcoing/cheating/spamming we need mods who will be on more often so this game can be set back on track. if i wasnt so new i would volunteer to be a mod since all the time im awake im either at school/playing faldon.
also i am proud to say i havn't cheated at all while playing faldon,nor have i ever marcoed,or used inappropriate language in the chat,while i notice there are many people who do.

i see this game has alot of promise,and its sad to see it being dragged on this way.i hope you are able to find some trustworthy M/GM that are not just in it for the power.
