@ Leone - Yea it's a bummer ... but the first in 5 years. Things seem to be working. Colds have always been a 2 - 3 day affair for me simply because I hit the pit as soon as I know, and do what needs doing. How dumb these people are that say "I can't afford the time!" and keep on working so it hangs on for a week or more, all the while infecting others and at that time a doctor "forced them to bed for a week!

Yesterday's event in the coliseum had drops - up to level 250.
A shame you missed it.
Today's event is on start map, and again, is meant for new players.
Take a peek if you can get on the game for a few minutes ;)

..I think it looks good...
I'll post pics in a little while.
WAAAAAA NO FAIR NO FAIR WAAAAAAA {fake temper tantrum} :LOL:
Do it again .... do it again ...


I'm online for a bit - in the bank area. I didn't know you could kill the guys 'hired to protect the bank area' - At least that what I thought I just saw an outlaw do ... there was no name under the character he killed. Interesting stuff.

MIL's tablet is an 8" and every now and then the screen zooms in and has an orange border. At that time the buttons in the corners disappear and I just died because I could not protect myself (low lvl alt).

Q1 - what causes this?
Q2 - can it be turned off? (annoying as Hades)
Q3 - if Q2 impossible, what's the zoom-in/zoom-out trigger?

On my way to 0.0 now.

There will be more events for higher levels coming... not today though
I spent four hours working on the one yesterday - slept in to 0600 today :lol:

Guards attack outlaws on sight; outlaws can attack them like normal mobs

Outlaws, when they die, they start at map 0.3... and they have "outlaw guards" - these guards attack normal players on sight (and can be attacked by normal players), and these guards leave outlaws be

Orange border thing - sounds like something with your device
maybe, try the reverse pinch gesture; it could be it zooms in when you double tap or something; maybe, check the device settings

the game zooms feature is with the two buttons on the left hand side, under the minimap, and it's really quite slow (you have to click it a lot)

That's the problem, with it zoomed and the orange border. I can't see the control buttons, they are outside the area I see.

OK, so now I know about guards and outlaws ... kinda funny though I walked close to see what was what and the outlaw hightailed it out there. Probably though I was going to attack.

It has to be a feature of the device you're using.
Best advice - check the manual if you have one, google the make/model number with "zoom controls" or something, or play around in the device's settings.
I would imagine, it's activated with a double tap. It may be reversed the same way or by reverse pinch. Every model is different, so I'm just guessing.

WELL!!! Seems the bug I caught earlier in the week was a sneaking little blither! Just when we thought I was getting better: WHAM!! 39°C again and aches and pains, and it was like withing an hour. Now I'm on a serious anti-biotic, that compare in size to the pink horse pills I'm on. Only three of them, today's pill will be day 2 of those. EDIT: Apparently it's something going around, wife’s cousin and uncle have been hit and doc says he's swamped with requests for anti-biotic prescriptions.

Found a few placed that I can level up and not be bothered. Most people just walk by, some stop long enough to have their pets suck up my spawn and then move on, but 95% of the people just keep on going.

Since the wifi reaches the bedroom, the computer has neglected but considering level increase I think it's quite good. Where I am I need now health and the spawn is constant flow. When health drops to a yellow like I sally up to a corner post where only three can attack of the spawn disappears. I wait a little until I health up and go at it again. Went my backpack is full I head out to a shop and sell the good and go back.

Been my routine for the past few sick days. Sometime today I'll hit 100

So tell me does that mean I'll break through puberty in the FT Word? Or is it more like I'm outta diapers and into training pants?

I page two of this rthread I totally missed this comment by Ryaca:
Ryaca wrote:Best post I have read in a long time. I would be interested to know some of the earlier rpg's that you have played that shaped you into the gamer that you are today.
1. I don't consider myself a gamer at all. Linux isn't game friendly (it's getting there though)

2. PS2 - I played a few Final Fantasy games - 12 being the one I liked best. Other than that Need for Speed and Gran Prix - anything with cars.

BUT this is my first (and still only) MMOG ever. I see no others in the immediate future.

Google play store has my comments on this game:
Bryce McRoy wrote:5 out of 5 is too little. This is awesome. Fight the bad guys, dragons, skeletons, pirates etc, and help others do the same. Team up to beat tough enemies. A true social experience. My first MMO game, I started with FT RPG (offline game) and that's a more than 5/5 game as well. KUDOS to the developer.
and I'll tell yea all right now: that name .... nope, not mine!
It is a name I know from my childhood - slightly modified though :D

OH so that's where my copy of FT RPG disappeared to!

Trust me, I'm not waiting for it to come out of the south end of GOLGREN as he's walking north either.
OH YUK! NO WAY!!!!

I'll get a fresh new 'clean' copy off the developer. :D

No that's not true ... GOLGREN ate a tank ... that's why he's green and "THE TANK"
