This sounds great, I want that house!

mosoloa1 · 29th June 2009, 13:37

Heke · 29th June 2009, 13:38

Just to clarify, the house has to be bought/built by the player. So it is the housespot that is guaranteed the winner!

cwliias · 29th June 2009, 13:38

ill win

cwliias · 29th June 2009, 13:40

Heke so what do we do just sign up or play that game with the boats?

LightsabeR · 29th June 2009, 13:44

yay flash games...

oophus · 29th June 2009, 13:49

Housespot? So that means that there will be predesignated spots for houses and cities?

TrueMyst · 29th June 2009, 13:49

Wait wait wait... House spot? Are there designated spots that people can build houses now? Or can we still build anywhere and that spot is just reserved?

In reality you must buy the ground where you want your house to be built at, that means if you win you will get that contract for free.

Thats how i see it.

Kaasflipje · 29th June 2009, 13:58

DO want.

Largion · 29th June 2009, 14:05

Who the fuck is Ikoroki....and MORE IMPORTANTLY...who plays this character....cause I havent heard anything about a NPC being a legerdary crafter......

Sinister · 29th June 2009, 15:31

Erm if I get this right, to win a prize first we must enter our login name and server for which game we play? How do we do this exactly when we don't have an account for mortal?

DarkStrider · 29th June 2009, 15:38

I`ll try out , see if I can win anything .

Azarahthehunter · 29th June 2009, 15:38

..... house?... spot? what the hell? Ow... ow.... this dosent sound good... God damn it !! No house spots!! You want to build a house at this spot you build it, no land buying or ..... damn it!! Now Im rly upset. Well the good times lasted a bit now its all falling apart....

Thanks Santa

Light..you miss the point.
This is either a one time item never to be repeated....which is what it should be from their game philosophy IMHO

or

We'll be able to buy weapons of more than a beginning caliber from NPC's. A negative in my book.

or this legendary weapon is only a beginner class weapon.

Since they are giving away 16 of them, I am under the impression that it will be the latter...I'd much prefer the first.

Cylox · 29th June 2009, 15:46

so the next question is .. will there be enough spots for everyone? ;/ *spread a lil panic!*

Banok · 29th June 2009, 16:01

So NPC's are the best crafters and we cant controll where we build. this is not looking good at all for a "player driven game".

lets hope its not true!

Blixa · 29th June 2009, 16:45

Hm, it doesn't work for me. I gained 200 coins through killing monsters on the ships, but when I click on "exchange prices", it takes me to a site that says I have zero coins. Therefore I can't buy lucky draws eventhough I have the coins.

Gryff · 29th June 2009, 16:46

It's cool to have the publicity but obviously the game isn't very fun.

***EDIT*** Mats is in here now to straighten you fuggs out about the crafting! Run! He's been a volatile Swede lately with the long hours, lack of sleep, and interaction with people on these forums.

***EDIT***EDIT***See I told you.

I'm not sure I have ever seen an MMO where you can drop a house wherever you want. It just seems too chaotic and very easy to cause issues with other players. On the server-side... i'm not sure how it would get implemented in a fashion where it could actually work.

It's also very obvious there will be weapons/items available from NPC's when the game launches... this promotion is just to help support MMOSITE so the devs are having a weapon available for a winning player from an NPC. Perhaps it will be tagged or something. It will still suck to have it looted off your body

As for MMOSITE... i've tried it, but I too keep losing

the pirate jumping game gets a little old. Though I congratulate them on a job well done, i'm also noticing you can use paypal to buy a chance to win :P

Nothing is decided yet, the price will either be a house spot, or a house, or a what-ever-type-of-house we will have.

Now? Still? Who said anything about how housing is going to work?

Where did we say that?

Nothing is final regarding housing. The Powerpoint states that you can build a house, and modify it. There will be housing, however in what way we implement it is not decided yet. There are a lot of issues and factors involved, and housing spots looks like the only feasible way to do it, right now. However, there are several ways to do "housing spots".

I can't even read about Ikoroki in the constest, as my browser won't let me

Ikoroki is nothing more than a legendary NPC crafter, that can make a good weapon for some players. Nothing says these weapons may not be made by players, or that Ikoroki makes better weapons than the players (he won't). He will just give the winner of the contest a lot of options and some free materials to make one (1) weapon, that may take awhile to come by if you start from scratch.

No, who said that? Player-crafted stuff will always be better. (Well, maybe not if you are a noob crafter, ofc) There might also be some rare NPC crafters in the world that can teach you stuff no player can, but that's a different story.

It's neither the first nor the latter.

NPC's are definitely not "the best crafters". And in regards to housing, you will have control of where you build, but you might not get to choose the exact vertice-point where to put it, and you most likely will find you cannot build in certain areas. But this is, as I said, work in progress.

Haha I understand how frustrating it must be trying to keep everyone abreast of the developments and how easily rumors start that you have to squash. It is almost a Catch 22 with trying to inform us of what we want to know, but then seeing how what you state, or anyone for that matter, gets distorted and perverted. You can give us the whole game with all the info we could ever want and we would still want more. I feel for you guys, it has to be very difficult putting up with us. I say us because I've been guilty of some stuff too, such as asking about prices.

You guys are doing a great job, keep up the hard work, whip us back into line when necessary, and put out this game so we will all shut up and you can all get comfortable in the life of a successful company full of the booze and bitches.

Spot housing, i really hope finally you find a good alternative to it. Seems so... false?

Asking is never wrong. Assuming things and/or jumping to conclusions is another story. However in this case I don't blame any of you. It's being very concisely presented on the site, which makes it sound like a regular contest for some Hello Kitty Online swag. From that, it's rather easy to assume our swag, items, housing and crafting will be handled the same way in-game

This statement gives me hope! Personally, I always liked the building system of Savage2 when there's no commander and the worker units build, best. I can imagine working it well in an MMO; I'm sure, if you as devs too are unhappy with spot housing, you'll find a working alternative.

Gryff · 29th June 2009, 17:12

I can jump to some conclusions if you feel the need to crack a few skulls. Such as since you are here the game is not being developed and pre-orders are pushed back to September. I could even start a thread.

I think you have enough on your plate though so I'll just hang out and take some more of your time by making you read my responses.

It's premature to hold a contest like this when release is months away and the mechanics related to the prizes aren't even finalized yet.
