Ugh...today was a frustrating day...and why is it that when I start posting about how much I love TF (along with everyone else doing it too) that everyone has to jump on the thread and think I'm some traveling salesman that's trying to sell them some wonder pill that won't work...
I just like TF and would like it even more than it already is if others would join up...I'm not trying to get people to leave Prime...if you like it, then fine! But don't rain on my parade nor try to hinder my efforts by saying stuff that you (the universal "you") have no first-hand experience in. Is there really something that wrong with me trying to tell other people how much I like this game? Sheesh, I was just about ready to take a break from DR, but now am loving it all over again.
So frustrating...really is...along with the four hundred other things that happened today, I'm writing this day off as a "bad" day.
This isn't directed at anyone in particular, but just an annoyance with that attitude.

I liked TF too so I understand where you are coming from sweetie. TF by far in my opinion is the most underated side of DragonRealms. If alot of people knew more about TF they would probably go over there.
I heard though when I was there for a while they were thinking about doing a one time only thing where characters could be transfered there. If that happened, you'd see my War mage head there post haste.

Heh...I can't wait for the one-way character copy opportunity. Getting myself read for it, in fact...
I guess it's just human nature for people to make fun of that which they know nothing about.

>>Unless things have changed
heh...I don't want to start this here, but yeah..things have definitely changed from that way of life. I've posted that numerous times in the discussion that's going on in the gen discussion staff folder. We don't kill off newbs...if you mouth off, on the other hand...that's a whole different thing.
I'm feeling better now that Cecco stepped in and kindly asked everyone to stop derailing the thread with so much poop (paraphrased, of course...heh). It was very frustrating to see all of us trying to post some positives and then everyone else not listening to what we were saying and just throwing poop at it...heh
There are plenty of things I've said in that forum that would show you some great advantages of what TF has to offer you.

I was in TF when it first started and in it again a little while later and things HAVE changed alot.
When TF first started it was everyone killing everyone else because it was AWSOME that we were allowed to do that. As time went down now, there are no longer such things that much in TF, its a whole different ball game but one that is surely for those who enjoy some fun.
Everyone in TF gets as many alterations as they want Via an ateration scroll table, its usually either off the way or funny things that you could only WISH you could make in Prime. They also get some funny custom titles, and the second time I went there, when I came in and started talking to people there, they are some of the nicest people around. Sure the talk about drinking and other stuff is rampid, and there are some more adult topics..but think of TF as DR Mature. Its geared towards a more Mature audience and before you even join you are warned that there is no GM babysitting. Respect is given to everyone, and I even got a bit of a welcome wagon when I joined.
Don't get me wrong..I'll always like Prime, but TF is definately my second choice..I didn't even like Platinum as much as I liked TF.

Then I'm glad to hear things have gotten a little more fun and a lot less stupid. It sounds a lot like I was hoping it would be back when I first tried it. Perhaps I'll give it a go again sometime in the not-so-distant future :)

I'm tickled pink to see all the newbs...I can't keep up with everyone.
What's even greater is that the ones that are enjoying their stay are telling others about it in the same thread that everyone was bashing on TF :cackle: I don't expect everyone to stay, because many have friends in Prime as well as things they want to do, but if we can make a better impression on them, then the word-of-mouth will spread and we'll get even more players.

Sometimes it's just nice to try something different or run with a different crowd for a while. That's why I encourage folks to try different guilds and races from time to time...even different games can add additional perspective.

Hmmm..Paladin...that almost scares me considering I spend alot of time in there with Zeroe..hmm..
Oh and I LOVE MO, when I went on my DR break last year thats where I ended up. A small knit crowd but so much fun to play around with, I took up cookie making to have some fun. I even sometimes go back to GS every now and then, just to see whats going on.
