General Forum Probably Beating A Dead Horse.    BathosAndPathos      5/24/2008 But what do you guys think of the old Chaos Development? And the $14.99 for the metarooms, when the original game is now, what? $5 in a bargain bucket? I personally dislike it, but that's because I don't like paying for anything. xD "Endure. And, in enduring, grow stronger." - Friedrich Nietzsche Feed it for great justice! ( And to make me smile. >: ) My avatar should really be this.   Caves Dweller Rascii Administrator     5/24/2008 I think at the time it may have been OK to charge for a really amazing metaroom (although I don't think Ostrova was particularly amazing). However, I don't think anyone would pay for the metarooms now, so they should probably be released for free. Just my two cents. - Rascii   Starbucks4ever     5/24/2008 I just bought Ostrova a couple of weeks ago. I also bought NG2 about a year ago. I'm pretty much neutral on the 'charging for metarooms' thing. I don't regret buying either of these rooms, but I think they should probably become free eventually.   AquaShee   5/24/2008 I bought both Ostrova and NG2 a few years ago. I lost both, and I really miss NG2. So yeah, I think they ought to be free by now. The Community Scribble: make (y)our own metaroom!   Caves Dweller Rascii Administrator     5/24/2008 They won't give you extra copies since you already paid?? What a rip. - Rascii   AquaShee   5/24/2008 Thing is, my father paid for it years ago, so I don't have any evidence at all that I purchased it. Except maybe the little agent I made to remove the weeds in the garden, but that just proves I had it, not that I bought it. The Community Scribble: make (y)our own metaroom!   Malkin Manager     5/24/2008 That's a pity, AquaShee. You've got to think on the developer's side, though, that they would put a lot of work into their addon, and maybe they should be allowed to sell it, even though it is derivative of the original game. It would be very hard to make a completely new metaroom without any borrowed code or anything. Quite a lot of the early addons were not of comparable quality to CL's stuff, but these days a lot of addons are of comparable artistic quality, even if they come with bugs and arcane layers of patches. And then, too, why would the end user pay for something that's buggy as? Wasn't it that in the very olden days of C1 development, there was some kind of a license floating about? You could sell your cobs through the CDN, but you had to pay CL a commission, or something? My TCR Norns   Squishy-Fudge   5/24/2008 i bougght both a year ago with my pocket money. i think it cost me around 27 pounds, then i bought montu and the iguas, which is actually pretty kick ass.   Jacob   5/25/2008 I've never got them too be honest, but, would they be selling at all these days? Not really active around these parts anymore.   Squishy-Fudge   5/25/2008 *shrugs* i think it's funny that they're selling an addon for a game for more than the game that it adds to *breathes* note to self: breathe before talking   BathosAndPathos   5/25/2008 Although, to be honest, the Gameware Shop packs probably cost more than the original game, these days. xD "Endure.

I remember we used to celebrate in JRC. - Rascii   Squishy-Fudge   5/25/2008 Yarr.   Tea Queen Laura Administrator     5/25/2008 Thar be a olde "Talk Like A Pirate Day" topic in Strangeo somewhere on thar horizon, yarr!   Squishy-Fudge   5/25/2008 i'll go look   BathosAndPathos   5/25/2008 Aye, but lookin'll getcha nowhar, lass.

Rascii: You make my life difficult, angel.   Squishy-Fudge   5/25/2008 in my world, it is always april.   Caves Dweller Rascii Administrator     5/25/2008 Perfect! My birthday is in April. - Rascii   Wup   5/26/2008 April? I thought Talk Like a Pirate Day was in September! ps. I haven't played Monster Raannnrrrnnchhdoggy   BathosAndPathos   5/26/2008 SHH! It's both, but we don't want people to find out, otherwise we'll only have ONE day. "Endure. And, in enduring, grow stronger." - Friedrich Nietzsche Feed it for great justice!

Part of it too is that maybe it's because it's free/user made that the bugs seem especially bad? The original games all had their quirks, but they were patched up (including by fans) and no-one seems to really mind about the flaws now, you just know that you also install X, Y, and Z fixes when you reinstall your game. My TCR Norns   Wup   5/26/2008 I didn't understand a word you just said. ps. I haven't played Monster Raannnrrrnnchhdoggy   Malkin Manager     5/26/2008 It's a mental perception - something made by the official people MUST be better than something made by a fan like me. So flaws in the original are forgiven more readily than flaws in a fan-made addon. My TCR Norns   BathosAndPathos   5/26/2008 In my experience it's the complete opposite. At least, on WoW Private Servers, people readily forgive the hosts for bugs and inconveniences, merely because they have no major tools for setting up the server and playing with the settings. However, on the main WoW servers, bugs are harshly reprimanded on the forums. It may just be the old internet perceptual personal experience thing, where a single individual is likely to change your consideration of the group. =o "Endure.

( And to make me smile. >: ) My avatar should really be this.   Malkin Manager     5/26/2008 Maybe it's an accessibility thing? The original developers are more inaccessible, so the fan developers are more accountable than the official developers? My TCR Norns
