Give FSO another shot?

[Swordmasterdragoon]

what do you say? I found us a free server. www.terraworldonline.com/index.html
It's fairly nice I really like it. and its free. its up to you guys, what do you say.

[Ghosty]

I'll just copy+paste the main portions of the comments I made in the PC thread (minus my suggestion to move it here of course heh and a few other unneeded stuff):

ok, that is pretty cool, I would definitely consider this (since I just recently, with the help of some people here, unlocked most of the stuff i was missing from SSBM, i've had a *slight* new extra time... I was planning on using it to improve grades)

but, if there's enough interest, and you guys still don't believe that we are "past our FSO phase in this chapter of the forums" as how KoL sortof put it (in my memory i believe) then I'd definitely atleast register... play around a little more.

and responding to the fact that we might have had to pay $20 to do this (keep in mind as you make your decision people, that many FSO places are entering a registration fee, although not monthly, and this site that SMD helpfully found is providing FSO goodness free of charge):

Sorry to say that... no I would NOT pay $20 to play it again unless it was VASTLY improved... maybe $5-10... maybe...
Unless of course somehow this whole forum once again gets taken up with FSO and you all promise to give me the best equipment when I enter... , wishful thinking hehe.

I think it would be cool if this whole board found another game that we could get together on... anyone have another free/EXTREMELY CHEAP/Decently-priced but EXTREMELY GOOD internet game?
I know I (and probably several others) would join in another low-tech/cheap MMRPG like FSO was...

and if you guys do not want to get back into FSO I suggest looking for something else like i mentioned at the end... I thought it was a lot of fun to play around another game with the people from this forum...
Besides already being in an alliance ;D, you get a lot of help, and you see different sides of people in different environments. Like in forums you get a different sense of people than playing an RPG along with them. any game really... but if we find something I strongly suggest that it be for the PC and not a console solely to the fact that obviously we all have a PC... yet consoles are not shared. That last thought wasn't neccessary i guess but just another thing to keep in mind.


EDIT: and yes, I know the quote things don't work like that, just showing which ones I made on the other thread and which ones are new here.

Wow, huge coincidence here. I was just telling Landon the other day that I was playing EO with kamon and a friend ;D. We're now working on our new server. I'll definetly try out that server, SMD. I'll see you on

[OldSchool]

Give me 2 weeks (I gave the one of my two jobs a two week notice before I leave) So I'll have a little more free time (since having that second job gave me NO free time what-so-ever) and might be able to play FSO again.

Oh the memories.

IF I ever play again it must be under some conditions.
1: EVERYONE gets into it.
2: I don't play as much as I used to
3: People help each other build lvls
4: A clan is established
5: FREEEEEEE!
6: A good server

[Sektor]

Umm.. when I go to new character it says 'Disconnected!'. How do you set it up?

[Tsukasa]

I'd try it if I had the server IP address.

[Sektor]

I dont think you need an ip address for this version. Hey pumpkin, this is off topic but I noticed you have enough posts to get yourself a custom title

[Mr_Beardsly]

I can't stand that game...

Heh, I noticed that like a week ago or something, I remember watching his post count shoot up with mine when I first joined, looked at custom titles, figured that he'd change his to "pumpkinhead" as soon as he got 2500 or something... ;D.


and Mr. Beardsly!! why?? and if you hate it... do you have something else that would work for a "forum game"?


EDIT: oh yeah, when you guys figure out the problems and are playing smoothly, post it here so you can guide me through it ;D. I'm too lazy to figure it out by myself...

yeah, i know, KoL offered to give me one, but it's fun being one of the few with more than 2,500 posts and still an AK.
You don't need an IP address? I think you do...
Mr. beardsly, why do you hate it?

www.terraworldonline.com/
just download the client, make a new character and it should work. I'll think about it later whether i'll be around or not. If a lot of people from here play, I'll likely be back. (btw if you have any old client (b35/36/37/1.0/etc) it won't work here) and it's free btw.

[Kamon]

I joined. My name on it is ScouterSlayer once again. Post up ur name on fso here.

[Ghosty]

It's 1:15 as I'm typing this... I'm starting to DL it now...
Ok, 1:20 now, I've dled and unzipping... nvm, its finished unzipping, I'm opening up FSO...
WHOA COOL, nice new screen ;D, that old one was boring....
::clicks on new character while dling the newbie manual (hey you never know...)::
Hmm.. it's connectin to a game server, hope it's the same one you guys use...
Ah FUCK, it says First Star Online (Not Responding)...

Ok, 1:22, I exited, clicked "end now"... hmm, I"m going to try it again, closing some stuff up now.
Good god, I just checked back on it and it's still not closing...
:: ctrl+alt+delete::
Um.... it's not going away...
help!!

EDIT: on another note... the newbie manual never starting dling...
Did I dl all the right stuff?
I clicked on first the main client, but then it went to the "no page there" page, and then I clicked on the mirror and it dled...


EDIT: Ok, it's around 2:15 and I just tried again, this time i found the "firststaronline.exe" because last time I clicked on "first star online shortcut", well this one is working so far... I'm into my character selection!!
I'l inform you guys as I go along ;D
Ok first, I chose male, heh, guess I'm not in touch with my feminine side....
and.... well I guess I'll start off as a fighter simply because everyone yells at you if when you start your not a fighter...
Username will be...
um... I think I'll save "Ghosty" for another character... I'll use...
hmm...

ah **** it I'll decide later.
For my points:
+4 to each at start to make them all +5.
I'll be a fighter so I guess... I'll make STR and STAM +10 each...
Hmm.. mysticism looks stupid so I'll give another 2 to INT and another 1 to WIS... eh... whats the harm another 1 to MYS.
+2 to STR/STAM again.
+3 to them again to make them each 15.
1 point each to INT+WIS.
Hmm... I have 4 left.
I'll give... 1 to STR... 1 to STAM...
and 1 more to STR... 1 to WIS.
so my stats are now:
STR: 17
STAM: 16
INT: 8
WIS: 8
MYS: 6

Nah I'll take away one from mys and add it to... STAM ;D
and I'll take one from WIS and add it to STR ;D.
I AM a fighter...
AH wtf I knew I'd cave in, its just a starting character, one more from WIS and add it to stam.

Now its 18, 18, 8, 6, 5.

and now for my grand username....
Gah, still can't think.
I'll choose my sprite... the guy with the green hair.. heh, cool ;D
and my name will be...

Warped
(grr, i wanted symbols, stupid only-letter rule , heh oh well.)
woohoo i'm in, i'm going to try it out now... see ya guys there.
OH **** I just realized that I kept FSO as my pw...
***, well i'm going \to do it again, this time with a different name but same stuff as befoer.

Ok new name: VariedMetal
Yeah it sucks...

oh ****, I don't think it's letting me create a new name...
I guess youc an't have more than 1 name?
I'll just try out my old one then... don't steal my name

[OldSchool]

Ok, im done with FSO.

Terra has SO much lag its unbelievable. And I got into an argument with some guy named BLACKKNIGHT withing 10 seconds of logging on. Fuck that game, it'll never be as good as it once was.
