We have never played an mmo that ignored the veteran players and catered to the new players. Our time on the other plan, which is host to earth, has shown us that most sandbox titles such as UO and SWG, before it tried to emulate a theme park title, actually catered to the veteran players while adding very little for beginners to do. Most theme park MMO's also ignore beginner content in favor of veteran players. We do love the mission architect from city of heroes, lots of crazy fun that was. It often had content to do for all player ranges. It also often had specialized grinds made so it could be used to speed level. SWG had some amazing player run story events that encouraged role play between participants. A lot of things such as Hobs has mentioned were done successfully on a few servers in swg and the game was better for it. We cast our votes In favor of any fun or cool player created happenings in the river kingdoms, sandbox is after all a place for our imaginations to run wild and for us to created the world we want to play in.

Dear Decorus, It Appears Blaeringr's advice is a sound recommendation and one we would have recommended had we not misplaced our copy of the menu. We are saddened by the zealotry of this paladin that has seen fit to persecute your precious little Snugglepumkin. It is clear to us this Sheriff of injustice has let their fear of the unknown lead them to anger at the disappearances, which further has lead them to hate your innocent pet since they have no further target they can justifiably prove is the culprit. Fear is the mind killer after all, and hate is the path to the dark side of us all. Try using a group such as TEO, PAX, PTV, KoTC, or even The Seventh Veil to reason with your community and this bigot that has become blinded by their own hubris. If you can convince one of these groups this paladin is being a constant grief they may assist you in your plight and help convince the community this paladin is more trouble then he is worth when they show up to complete your contract. If that fails M.A.D would be more then happy to approach the paladin on your behalf to remedy the problem with a few potions and gadgets to make him change his mind or otherwise forget about your pet. often times the side effects of such treatment leaves one to be open to all sorts of suggestion like murder. Misdirection is also another option, turn his attentions to something else, like the group of goblins invading the settlement three hexes over. While The is away hire a group such as the UnNamed to gets the community to vote in your favor. Of course you could always force an alignment change on him, thus making him lose his abilities and become a blackguard, this would be more then enough to convince any logical settlement he is the real threat. We wish you much luck in this endeavor and if need be we will protect Snugglepumpkin until such time as you are able to rally the local druids against this paladin for disrupting the natural balance of nature near your tower. We do warn however we might improve your pet before you come to retrieve it.

Dear Up-To-His-Neck in the The Croquet Field, That would mostly depend on the disembodied voice of the GM controlling the Earth Elemental. We see no reason why this should be allowed, nor do we see any reason why it should be disallowed. it is a mechanics question that should be argued with diplomacy citing the extra planar GM's copy of the Bestiary referencing the entries for elementals in it. We feel that we should point out that GM's can be touchy when questioned about the "rules" of "their world", as they often times view them selves as the god of their world. The best approach of handling this would be to work together towards a compromise or understanding of the system and rules the GM is using. Crowd Forging at its best!
We enjoyed the podcast, but we feel it could use a foot notes section under each podcast so we can read along while we listen to the pod cast or to check your sources and chime in on conversations and threads you reference. What would be the ETA on episode two as we are really looking forward to it.

Dear Scarlette, After much research, a nap, and some further contemplation, We feel we can now properly answer your inquiry. Blaeringr and Nihimon do, in fact, seem to be two distinctly different and separate personalities. As such, it is our hypothesis that they are irrevocably two wholly different people regardless of whether they in habit the same body or not. They also appear to be complete opposites in many regards. Until we have further evidence and can sit them down in a room to run some tests, we can not form a theory.

Dear Randovar, We have experienced our fair share of ale goggles when we were a younger gnome. We suggest a double dose of Tears of Death, a nasty contact poison guaranteed to lay low the most stout of constitutions while inducing paralysis, if that is far to immoral for you, we suggest you pray for a miracle or get a wish granted to make the one night stand in question have never happened. We may have a third option for you, transmutation potions or spells to make her turn into a beautiful woman of your preferred race. it is superficial only but is a possible solution.

Dear Tasha, Of course we think this is a great idea, and if something goes wrong it is not our fault as this was Waruko's suggestion and idea! Besides if some poor sap does not follow our directions perfectly and mixes up the wrong mutagen the blame lays entirely with them!Cheliax. What happened in Cheliax. We feel we are on the cusp of a great discovery but it keeps slipping just out of reach. Of course, We remember now! Cheliax is where we went to investigate that extra planar bordello only become lost in the city and fall into the passionate hands of a succubus, entirely unrelated to the bordello, and endure her ravenous affections until you found me and removed me from the grips of her vile lustful eyes! She was remarkable. Tanya, be a dear and bring us something to cheer us up. Maybe we could have some psychotropic potions to drink? Or possibly a sweet confection of some sort. We find we strangely miss that succubus. She did have amazing eyes.

Dear Decorus, We would love to assist you in cross breeding these species, and as difficult as it can be to convince a red dragon to trust us, they can be dealt with when thier life is a bargaining chip. That said, we feel the best way to convince someone of your quandary is to simply do it, they will either see the merits of such a crossbred, or wind up being the Half-dragon Tyrannosaurus Rex's snack. A more diplomatic and nice way to do this would be a mind altering affect to get your audience to agree with you, but some folks are immune to mind altering effects or have realty strong forces of will. If this is the case then by all means we recommend just talking with them. Try explaining the benefits of such a creature. Start by explaining that Half-dragons are only rarely the result of dragons mating with other creatures—most are the result of strange magical experiments. In most cases, a successful creation breeds true with others of its kind, as with the dreaded dracolisk. Therefore it is not as unnatural as some might believe. Follow that argument with the benefits to the Tyrannosaur Rex. All A half-dragons gain darkvision out to 60 feet; low-light vision; and immunity to sleep, paralysis, and energy of the same type as its breath weapon. it would gain a breath weapon to help defend its self, or its "friends" such as yourself. The creature would not be an aberration as commonly believed, but would in fact be a creature of the dragon type. It would gain an increase to its strength, constitution, intelligence, and its charisma, as well as having its skin act like a natural armor. It would also finally know the pleasure of flight from the wings it would grow, this in and of itself should be enough to convince someone this is a good idea as no living creature should not experience the joy and thrill of flight! This would make a wonderful companion to anyone with the skill to handle it and the love to nurture it. By creating this wonderful creature you would be helping it to survive in a slightly modified form for years to come and help it to know a more fulfilled life while doing a great service to your community as it would be most likely more than happy to guard and protect you all as they have all loved and cared for it.

Dear Wyldethorne, We believe the best method of maintaining a true neutral alignment will be to cancel out each act you take much like canceling out a base with an acid and canceling out an acid with a base. if you perform a lawful act you will need to perform a chaotic act to cancel it, if you perform an evil act then you shall need to perform a good act to cancel it. This is strictly conjecture at this point based of the currently available information we have and is extrapolated from the balance of opposites. Another possible solution would to be to live as the animals live. Watch your animal friends and learn from them how to act as animals are the epitome of neutrality and are not confined to morality and ethics.

Dear Waruko, We feel good about many things, such as Pathfinder Online, Paizo Publishing, Goblin Works Inc. and they community for Pathfinder RPG and PFO. We also feel good about self medicating with various potions and mutagens as well as various spells. We really feel good about the recent blog post Blood on the Tracks posted by Ryan Dancey, on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 and the information contained there in. We would be amiss if we did not admit that we feel good about gnomes being the race that won the crowd forger vote for next race implemented as we our selves are gnomes and would hate to suffer from bleaching due to a lack of stimuli from our fellows.P.S. Thank you for suggesting the Ask Dr. Feel Good segment, as we were looking for someway to contribute to the community before the game launches. Which would you prefer for a gift as thanks? A ring? a few potion? or maybe something else we might be able to craft one day?
Blaeringr wrote:
Dear Blaeringr, We think that it would depend on the settlement and hex laws those slaves was stealing the rations in. If it is against the laws there then we suggest you seek restitution through their justice system. If that is not an option we recommend speaking with Tony at length about your problem while eating wonderful bread to feel good. A thought just occurred to us, if you were to bring the slave to us we could mix up an alchemical mixture or potion to deter further thefts, or we could equip the slave with a ring of sustenance so they never have to eat or sleep again alleviating the base need that would drive someone to steal rations. If the slave has escaped before you can punish the miscreant then we recommend using the contract system in game to hunt the vile retch down and punish his transgression.

A simple tranmutation spell would work, though it is not very sportsmanlike, however if everyone where to up their pledges as a show of solidarity when we get our KS reward email that lets us up our pledge we might be able to convince Mr. Dancey to grow a beard as a thank you!
Dear Neadenil, We feel love can cross all barriers of alignment, sex, creed, religion and race, If you love her, and she loves you then you should do the only responsible thing, what all paladins should really. Redeem her by showing her you love her by singing the following: Never gonna give you up
If that does not work then you could always bring her to us for a few experiments. Of course if you had never failed your perception check in the first place this would never of been an issue as you would no doubt of detected evil then smote her with much righteous might. Thank fate you did fail that perception check though as you will never be lonely again. What ever course of action you do decide on we urge you not to break up with her until she tries to kill you, at which point you marry her and return the favor. We wish you much luck in your current situation, and if you wind up flailed, disemboweled, dismembered, and otherwise maimed, dead, or no longer requiring your character sheet we will be more then happy to recreate you. As an after thought we felt the need to point out, when she inevitably betrays you, be sure to place a bounty on her head once she murders you so you can have your revenge with out the need of guilt or alignment shift.

Greetings Minions! M.A.D. is now taking on new minions and other such assistants for our new labs in the river kingdoms. M.A.D. will be focusing on maintaining an evil presence in the river kingdoms while we craft new wondrous items, potions, and equipment to manipulate the economy of the world to our own ends. we will also march our selves to any and all settlements to greet them with fireballs, bombs and CONFETTI! YES CONFETTI! Our would be enemies will fall flat on their faces at our feet with laughter and pledge allegiance to us as we shower them with incredible inventions of unique design that may or may not work! M.A.D. Will be an evil company, we will accept any alignment however it must be mentioned due to politically annoying bureaucratic red tape that anyone not at all evil or a genius such as ours truly may or may not find themselves as a test subject. The Charter Company (guild) will be aligned most likely neutral evil or lawful evil Our Side Kick Tallahassee will be a dear and assist in further explaining later today after she brings us our blue berry muffins. We will have need of any crafters, builders, and physically capable or other wise combat ready people, or any other class, archetype, persona that enjoy having a good time and being the brunt of a joke from time to time, people that like to see others smile by making them laugh. you will probaly die, a lot, in this company but that is okay we can and will rebuild you faster, stronger, smarter, tougher, harder, and otherwise just better, then reequip you to get back into the fray of world comicfication! Also we are the terror that flaps in the night, the termite that devours your floorboards, the surprise in your cereal box, the skunk that pollutes your air, the batteries that are not included, the headache in the criminal mind, the wrong number that wakes you at 3am, the raspberry seed you can't floss out, the fingernail that scrapes the blackboard of your soul, the onion that stings in your eye, the special news bulletin that interrupts your favorite show, the scourge that pecks at your nightmares, the hairball that clogs your drains, low ratings that cancel your program, the auditor that wants to look at your books, the slug that slimes your begonias, the bubble gum that sticks in your hair, the itch you cannot reach, the smoke that smokes smoked oysters, the jailer who throws away the key, the ten dollar service charge on all returned checks, We are MAD! Let's get dangerous. Hmm, looking back at the wall of text it seems my player has been watching to many old cartoons while listening to our theme song. Trolls and griefers need not apply.
We must remember to turn Blaeringr into a terrasque to cuddle for pointing that out, or maybe we should just buy him some bread from Tony's. We hear Tony has amazing bread. No, We will not let anyone believe we got that from Bluddwolf, it was rather easy to find on the interweb things those humans from that other plane uses. This is the first time we have ever spoken to the wolf of bludd, we think it would make a wonderful pet though.
We know we have been keeping you all on the edge of your seat, with out further delay let us announce on this most auspicous day the one the and the only charter Company M.A.D. charter thread to follow sortly, as in later, if the other me agrees to it. M.A.D. is Mad Alchemist Directive for those who rolled to low on wisdom and intelligence and rolled to high on strength and ignored everything else to be able to put this together on thier own, it is okay though we still will let you be a loyal minion after all not everyone can score a perfect intelligence and charisma. When ;life gives you Lemons you make Apple JUICE! ((OOC)) M.A.D. will be a real charter company of evil alignment but any alignment is welcome as long as they are not trolls, griefers, and such, by griefers and troll i mean ban hammer peoples that GW has defined as griefers and undesirable.(end OOC)

Greetings Minions, The Goon Squad will be a charter company of Evil and our main goal will be to tear down all the haughty and righteous good peoples settlements that want to enforce their tyranny on on us and remove our liberties. Tyrants such as Andius that feels the devs vision of open world pvp is wrong and every one else is second and third rate citizens compared to him. "These forums had made me forget something. I’ve been very frustrated with people on the PFO forums who just don’t get Open World PVP culture, or the threat it poses to them. That they think it is acceptable to wall themselves off in their own hex, and kill every non-allied player they see outside safezones. There is a group more frustrating than those who are oblivious to the threat Open World PVP culture poses though. People like PAX, Bloodwulf, and Darsch who support and subscribe to it. That it’s ok for this game to be a giant Call of Duty match. That’s just what Open World PVP is. With all the talk on these forums of wanting this to be different than other Open World PVP games I honestly thought things would be different here. That people would be on board with what TEO is trying to accomplish. To tone things down from Call of Duty to Wild West. Not stop all danger but make it so when you see someone else in PFO you don’t recognize it only puts you on guard. You don’t just assume they will try to kill you. Apparently I was wrong. Most other groups other than apparently “The Delvers” and Blaeringr’s group are fine with that." We will infiltrate groups such as Peace Through Vigilance and corrupt them from the inside so the righteous fall to the darkness that lies in the hearts of all men. If you want to play with a group of like minded people that want to sow evil corruption destrucion and chaos and anarchy to tear down the corrupt good regimes in flames and build a long lasting kingdom of evil tp combat the Zealots of good then please feel free to sign this contract in blood and consider your self part of the new world freind. We are legion for we are many, We are Anonymous, we are the goons. |
