What's up?
« on: October 8, 2008 02:25 pm CDT »

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

I've been in school, out with my girlfriend.

Plus, I just don't have time to play PCRPG.

But, at times I'll have these crazes to play PCRPG, just so i can mess with newbies. :D

But overall, my computer crashed and I don't really feel like messing with it.(Not that I have the time to.)

My Schedule

Wakeup:5:50
School= 7:15- 2:15
Get home-2:50
Swim Practice- 3:30-6:30
Get home from practice-7:00
Homework-7:00-whenever

Then i go to bed after my homework is done.

Just call me fake Particle. :-p

I still give a malarkey about this place and the game... I might restructure everything during the break in my own way to see what I can come up with... but then again... I say that EVERY year.

Peace!

That is the hope at least.  It finally got to the point where Celtic just had to be removed from the server for the sake of keeping the place from dying entirely.  A few weeks later, I had to ban him from here because I saw he was doing nothing but flaming other people.

Out of every $14 I make, I spend $1 to keep this place running in the way it now is (not laggy, etc), so I am less inclined to let someone ruin it.

Yes, fall is always kind of a slow time, but this year has been especially so.  I've also repacked a ready-to-go pack for Tribes + TribesRPG + Vista Compatibility + Patched Mem + DeusPack + Deus EXP Update + Updater + VOL Tools + Prefab Tools + Updater + Some Other Stuff so that newbies won't have to fight to get anything working.  It's still being tested before public release, but it should help out.

What have you been up to, Part? Working, I assume...school? Have you been thinking about starting PCRPG with another game engine? Source, maybe? Unreal 3?

I sorta disappeared pretty much when I started my job.  It's good in a way though, since it has allowed me to move to an expensive as hell dedicated server in Washington DC and virtually eliminate performance issues (both CPU and bandwidth related).  It also lets me run the community extras such as TeamSpeak and our Team Fortress 2 server (check it out some time:  server.frenchysfortress.com:27016 "Frenchy's Fortress").

I certainly would love to start PCRPG again with a new engine, but the truth is--I don't have the time to do it alone.  It's very hard to find dedicated developers, too.  Every time I seem to get a team together, everyone disappears by the end of the first week.

12stones... that is the first "tribes clone" that actually appears to have the same physics feel as the original.
That is amazing to see.
I hope it actually DOES kick ass; all previous Tribes "two" type games sucked balls.

Peace!

Even a $400 desktop these days can run Tribes without any trouble.  That's a lot more comfortable for a tight budget.  We'd love to have you back.
