Sent you a PM Tarondor with some questions about the forums/website.

Sounds good I will get on it.

IF no one else can do the web stuff I will give it a go. Understand I am a backyard website guy. I have about a year of college in HTML and Java working in JGRASP. The only good thing is my sister-in-law is a professional web designer (but she is very busy) and can probably enlist her help on some of it.

But with me it will be a slow process for awhile as I am helping my brother start a business.

I also have all the dailys and an open shieldmate for a guildie that needs them.

I cancelled my kickstarter pledge, so I won't be in the guild. Best of luck!

Fair winds and good hunting friend.

@TheDarklord That sucks but I wonder if a guild could establish a limited number of chapter houses. You know like how priest cannot harm people so they formed a militant chapter to work out "worldly" problems.

I think this could add alot of flavor and also provide goals for guilds to strive for. Knight need scouts and enforcers to have a strong military force.

Just voted. :-)

Hey I suggest we should all grab the "Sir" title, being Knights and all it's quite apt! :-D

Daniel.

I agree I just put in for that myself.

Knights,

I'd like to extend a friendly and diplomatic hand on behalf of The Keepers of The Circle generally, our Ring of Light specifically, and the militant arm of the Ring of Light (Philosophy of War, made up of paladins, war clerics, and other Good aligned holy warriors) very specifically.

We look forward to seeing you in The River Kingdoms and working with you to drive out evil and make these lands safe for travel and trade.

Very Respectfully,

Hear, hear!!

I too would like to throw my gauntlet in the ring with your band of brotherhood in fighting the endless fight!

Well intentioned, but I think ultimately very wrong. Your modern day PnP'er spends plenty of time making snarky comments on internet message boards. We all guilty. MMO'ers, PnP'ers and everybody else that uses the internet.

Yeah I guess I only see those people in the gaming sessions. I still believe MMO's can have a healthy community.

Personally I don't see how though, but I know it can happen. We had them in the beginning of this genre. I just don't know how it is going to happen again.

I am sure I am not the only one who has noticed the bleeding of two sub-culture of gamers here.

This topic reminded me of when I first started to play MMO's (UO and EQ). In both of those games they had a healthy community of people that were mostly friendly and helpful, much like a real community of people.

Sometime after EQ the MMO community became a contest of who could have the best witty replies, then that became who could have the best snarky replies, then who could be the first to correct spelling or such things.

Now MMO communities are considered the worst of places to post or lurk.

I am hoping Pathfinder PnP players who come here will be able to help true MMO players foster a community and get rid of the snarky replies. Because they are not needed. We need to get back to forging healthy gaming communities and there are none healthier than PnP players.

Mods can't do that for us only gamers can make this a better place. I hope people like Capt Marsh can help establish communities like Paizo has created in Pathfinder instead of what MMO communities are known for: puns and thinly veiled contempt towards others while still trying to make a valid point.

Just my point of view over a few decades.

It seems to me every mechanic or interaction in a game can be exploited or manipulated. This is a RPG stick with RPG mechanics.

When a rare mob spawns, make it in a totally random location (minus areas that are populated). So that the rare mob populates in areas where people rarely go. Then after x amount of time have NPC's "talking" out-loud in game about x mob that has been seen in x area.

I know this type of encounter can never be available to everyone but in my opinion everything shouldn't be available to everyone. You know the whole if everyone is special, no one is special adage.

The concept of a rare mob should be to generate buzz and get people into areas where people have forgotten about. Shoot you could even spawn x rare mob in and after a certain amount of time x rare mob starts to draw group of mobs to it as body guards or encampments.

I pledged 100$ due to finances. I would have done more, but I'm a disabled vet. I live off of a fixed income. --snip--

Hey Noch, disabled vet here also, you going to school on Chp 31 Voc Rehab? If you did not know you get your monthly plus they pay you to goto school.

Just wanted to throw this out to you. It helps.

Then that is great news, I guess I am just use to people assigning time with grind.

Ryan has stated explicitly that PFO will be a great option as your 2nd game, precisely because it doesn't require the kind of grinds that most games require. --snip--

I guess I am kind of confused not just by this statement but by others, I thought they stated to reach level cap would take years?

I like the idea of a prolonged leveling experience among other things, but there is a lot of information that is contradicting around here regarding these questions.

I agree I believe an action combat system is doable. As an MMO veteran since the days of AOL's NWN to now lag exist, it affects play no matter the style of combat. I think most of us are tired of tab target and clicking. At least I think most are.

I believe the action style combat can cater to all playstyles non-twitch and twitch alike. I mean strategy can be involved at all levels to that more cerebral players can have an advantage in a fight just as a twitch style player. I mean fighters in the world are more physical than wizards who are cerebral. The game play style should reflect this.
