Runescap e si te hBusklsh it !!!!!!1111111111
Heres a very brief account of what i would like to see on faldon,
Constant GM/M activity, this is becoming more and more feasable, and there ARE more gms & ms on which is kool, but i think that having gms on 24/7 would be nice
A GENERAL STORE: I cant stop thinking about why the hell nobody made a general store, its just plain logic.
Runescape has this feature, its very sucessful.
Tinker ( NPC repairs ): i know that some people may notice that i post this on almost every message i write but i think that its a key aspect of a good game, here is MY reason why, one of the prime aspects of a game is the ability for a player to do something without the aid of another player to fix things, now i know that its fairly easy to get your blacksmithing up and all but its a non-combat skill that some people cant be botherd to do.
( yea thats real lazy but thats just my opinion )
Warrior Combat Skills: If the above is not possable then to replace the imbalance of mages having GM spells give warriors combat spells.
Off topic note: The unbalance of power has tipped to mages, now getting hold of GM spells ( which is fine i think thats a good thing) BUT now warrior items have dropped in value and break eventually, tinker repairs would balance this out now that more mages have gm spells i think that adding tinker would make the game slightly more balanced.
Thanks for reading my post

first of all... why the hell is this posted on Trash Heap? it took ages before i discovered this thread. Just like all the other people who post on General Discussion and never even look at Trash Heap. (sorry fb.)
second, i agree on making a general store. - who sells basic items (such as : dagger, rapier, bastard sword, falchion, wiz staff, longbow, shortbow, crossbow, pies, feathers, potions, ringmails, chainmails, splint mails, full plates, gold plates, and, 1k arrows for about 100gp.) and most importantly, who buys items for half price of what he sells.
the reason why faldon has such a big gap between 'rare' items(ab, slowed actions, Boots of Darkness...) and 'common items'(claymore, mage robe, violet dress, viking sword...) is because there are so many items that can't be bought or made. only through other player's hands or by duping.
and another thing i've discovered in faldon is that the common items are almost treated like a dirt by any class of players. For example. let's say... um... in a game called Aspereta, where 80% of items are sold in shops, once someone buys an item, they think of it as very valuable item (mainly because items last forever) because it is not like claymore where 90% of all warriors use it for PKing and LVing. And once they have reached a point where they can buy a better weapon, they can also sell the item immediately and get a gold to buy a better item.
and i think faldon is under-rated game. with a little bit of advertising, faldon could turn out like runescape.
the reason why runescape is popular is because everyone plays it. Before there were massive users of runescape, it was just a crappy ass game. But once there were lots of users of runescape, they updated lots of stuff to make it a better game. But how runsecape got to be a popular game in the first place... i dunno.
So i suggest zer either advertise on popular websites (www.mmorpg.com or even more popular sites like www.yahoo.com), and then increase the price of citizenship, along with MORE BENEFITS of CITIZENSHIP... as i see it. the benefits of citizenship now is seriously crap... (OH MY GOD! TRIPLE BANK SPACE! *GASP* oh good lord! no more skill cap! although a warrior using zerk can never reach the skill cap without using all the junk skills... and... OMG!!! FREE MAILING! and... I CAN EQUIP A GM ROBE! guys! i'm gonna party! I bought a citizenship for $15 for upgrading my account in a game where 50 people play at a time!)
i mean c'mon... people will see a lot more need in buying citizenships of faldon when it's popular and citizenship has more benefits.
There are currently 13450 people playing RuneScape!
and 3647 people playing RuneScape Classic
And there are typically 25,000 people playing DAoC during the day in North America and about 40,000 in Europe.

Well im looking for a new game to play. ive played runescape for 3 years now and im still a relitivley a low lvl for for how long ive been playing. im only lvl 65 but ived done pretyt much everything you can do in that game, (without paying, i would never pay for a crappy game). I have nearly 50 in al skills, and full rune. it gets so boring having to needing 10k exp till the nxt strength lvl. ive done all the quests and im looking for something new to waste my time on. Eventually people willg et tired of playing runescape because they dont update the free server too much, and go looking for a game like this. a friend has told me about this game last week but its been down for the past week. i really wana play it looks cool. if any1 does play runescape my name is anglefire if you wana chat, dont ask me for anything cause im pretty poor. WHEN IS FALDON GONNA START UP AGAIN???
The reason Runescape is so dam popular is because its got servers that stay up practically all the time and they tell you how long its gonna be down for, and when it is down its only for a day max.
40,000 Americans are injured by toilets every year
2nd Gen. Faldon_Macro ~75% complete (woot!)
runescape isn't all that bad if you think about all the quests and items.
but leave the graphics alone... no other games have shittier graphics than runescape.
i saw sumone play runescape once, i wanted to kick them, it looks like such a retarded game
Couse the people that plays Runescape have never heard about Faldon do u know why? none makes reklam for it!! and haha the faldon server can host 140 peoples around 90 it will lag poop ass .. so..,
And the RS worlds can host a max of about 2300 people at any one time

alright, ive played both Runescape and Faldon about 2-3 years each..
i played Runescape before faldon and made shit loads of cash causei knew what i was doing, u know why? because in RS ALL THE DAMN ITEMS HAD VALUE!!!
i mean in faldon a fish is just about worthless.. i mean u MAYBE can sell 1000 for 10gp.. in RS EVERY fish was 2 gp and up.
why is this? because in faldon we have a less coin flowage in Faldon.
in RS u go and kill dozen of goblins ull get about 1k...
in faldon u got to sell rare/uncommon items (which are a pain to get) to make ANY CASH!
so in other words, its harder to earn cash by killing creatures yet runescape you have the same profit from butchering shit as well as selling stuff.
so selling books at 100 gp in faldon is cheap except NO ONE HAS DAMN CASH! (ladder excluded)
in RS the common people had cash, and wealthy ppl had millions.. (i was a wealthy person)
so i believe by increasing coin drop in monsters and modifing certain skills so that their usages are profitable.. (aka cooking, fishing, farming) (BTW i was a cook in RS as well as a swordsman. if i got sick of lesser demons or i wasnt getting rune mediums, i would go cook a couple thousands pies and make 10k in about 1hr..)
thats the largest difference, its takes days to make cash in Faldon, while in RS u just gotta do something for a while..
And the RS worlds can host a max of about 2300 people at any one time
Ya! so right ! Plus they got about 20 servers !
Ya the skills must be more usefulls,.. hm the fish for an example should give about 35hp regain , and when u mining should u be able to find diamonds to craft whit , well in other words Make the skills more usefull and dont follow runescapes Weopen thing , couse in runescape ther is about 7 Diffrents Armour set's , Leather , Bronze , Iron , Mithril , Adi , Rune, Dragon,.. and thatt sux ,...
yea that weapon set up was based on a 4 year old coloring the same armor a different color..
I played runescape for a few years actually, and I'm sure I came close to being one of the top 10 richest players. I quit the game for Ragnarok, it went P2P so I played Monster&me, which was fun but was just pointless levelling... I then went on to faldon but left because of all the pkers and the factor of it taking two hours to get the starting armor really pissed me off.... So I played MU Online, got to level 150something, quit, played Gunbound, got rich, got hacked and then I played ConquerOnline, got rich, and moved back to faldon.
In all of the games that held my attention (Besides MU Online and faldon) there were a few factors that made the games good.
1. QUESTS!!! Everybody loves doing quests and getting some of the story out of the game.... I mean come on........ Killing a rat with a refrigerator disguised as a skull in it's stomach doesn't cut it for me. Runescape has 150+ quests (2/3 of which are for members, but 50 quests is good for me) and there's nothing more enjoyable than spending time doing a quest with friends or other players online.
2. Exploration. The faldon maps are very limited... you have to have alot of stamina or be a fairly high level to leave the main map and explore without being killed in a second. The runescape world is MASSIVE!!! Even moreso once you pay for the members game. It's really fun to move around, find new buildings and monsters.
3. UPDATES..... This plays a big part in every game. The BIGGEST part for that matter. Nobody wants to play the same old game for years, Well except for maybe the hardcore faldonites....... But In runescape, they get a new quest, monster, map expansion, new server or a new weapon every few days! If Zer would pass on his programming rights (To someone like me maybe???) faldon could be awesome! (Did I just use Faldon and Awesome in the same sentence? Holy shit... the world's coming to an end.)
4. Hackers: Lets face it, for the noobs like me who can't dupe or ARhack anymore, it's really annoying when somebody kills you in a few seconds with a GM weapon or spell that shouldn't be in the game. Runescape had hackers and macroers once, but they found out how it was happening, and stopped it. They take action against macroers to make the game better.
5. Cashflow: In runescape it doesn't take too long to get a set of armor and some weapons and set out to raise your skills, unlike faldon where you kill mice and get 1 gold out of four of them.......
I could go on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on about why runescape has so many players but I don't feel I should waste my time typing things that won't be read.

Yeah, buddy, we really need more idiots on Faldon.
Go spam Faldon to all the little 10 year old kiddies, ass.
Was it really necessary to dig up a 10 month old topic?
