hello everyone,

i know this is an extremely little problem and probably goes unnoticed by a lot of users, but shouldn't the alternate universe page not show up for standard users?

for 1 thing, it's for premiums only and all other premium features are hidden. for another, i really don't see why it's there in the first place.

what do you think?

I agree...it's not fun anyway.

Post 3 by OceanDream (An Ocean of Thoughts) on Monday, 01-Mar-2010 12:27:01

Yes. As much as this is only a minor issue, I do agree that it should be hidden for standard members.

yeah

Post 5 by someone else (Zone BBS Addict) on Thursday, 04-Mar-2010 23:15:48

Yeah...agree. Used to love that game but it's gotten boring when it's not added to.

See, and I posted a board like this before. That game is pointless.

Post 9 by someone else (Zone BBS Addict) on Saturday, 06-Mar-2010 15:26:59

Lol idk, guess I just wanted to see what people would build on there.

Post 10 by laced-unlaced (Account disabled) on Saturday, 06-Mar-2010 16:13:10

hmmm yeah true.

i got sick of it after... hmm, 10 seconds?

Post 11 by OceanDream (An Ocean of Thoughts) on Monday, 08-Mar-2010 9:31:54

What about when it was around awhile ago, like...a couple of years ago? I never played it then. How was it?

Post 12 by KC8PNL (The best criticism of the bad is the practice of the better.) on Monday, 08-Mar-2010 13:25:20

It was the same as it is now. I'll let Chris/j know, but I think it's the way it is because there isn't much that can be done about it as far as development I don't think.

Post 13 by robbiec12345 (Good night and Farewell ) on Tuesday, 09-Mar-2010 13:10:59

Um, well if there's not much that can be done about it, should it really be there at all? I mean, having games and stuff with loads of bugs in doesn't really give the admins nor the zone as a whole a particularly good reputation.

Just my thoughts,

Robert

yeah, last i knew i was in the house i tried to make and can't get back to the main game. and that is a bit urksom...

last i checked was a month ago, but there you go...

Post 15 by laced-unlaced (Account disabled) on Tuesday, 09-Mar-2010 17:15:23

yeah i agree with post 13. use the space for something that's got a lot of potential.

and to post 14, i'm sure i remember a tower and stuff but i can't get back either.

Post 16 by The Elemental Dragon (queen of dragons) on Tuesday, 09-Mar-2010 21:16:55

i checked now, and yep, i'm still stuck in the room i made, i sent a message to Jj, and nothing. no exit no nothing... so, that was just a waist...

but something with potential,
like what?

Post 17 by laced-unlaced (Account disabled) on Wednesday, 10-Mar-2010 4:44:19

first off, jay's never on, and that's why alternate universe is such a faliure.

and as for potential, something we're going to use and get enjoyment out of.

someone must have a new game idea.

seriously

Post 18 by illumination (Darkness is history.) on Wednesday, 10-Mar-2010 12:49:45

You know, that brings up another point. J said that he woul be more involved in this place, and yet he's still not doing a damn thing. Thus, the next time he says that, I won't trust him. If you're going to say something like, "I'm going to be more involved in this place," then get off your ass and do it! I understand he's got other things to do besides this, but come on!

Post 19 by laced-unlaced (Account disabled) on Wednesday, 10-Mar-2010 13:48:31

yeah michael!. not sure if you've noticed it, but i've not seen him much this year. come to think of it, did he show up for the zone's birthday?. if he did it was for a quick time.

Post 20 by robbiec12345 (Good night and Farewell ) on Thursday, 11-Mar-2010 12:41:04

To Michael, I agree with you: There's a topic under the announcements board where he mentioned that he'd be more active on the site, yet he appears to have slipped back in to his old way of not showing up, at least not visibly anyway. The last time I saw him being really active was during the birthday thing (speaking of the birthday thing, they promised more updates would be coming in the weeks after the event, yet no updates have appeared since then). Apart from the birthday updates, the only other recent update that I can remember this year was the new travel and tourism board, which seems to be the first suggestion that has actually been listened too in a long time! I have seen him login a couple of times, but although he has publics on, he rarely contributes, not even a "hello everyone" or "hey, sup?" Also, when I sent him a pqn about a month ago regarding a bug in the boards, he never responded. Ok, so the admins tend to log in invisibly a lot of the time, but they seem to be slipping back in to their old ways of running the site, by not showing up and not acknowledging/implementing new features and updates. Also, Chris hasn't been all that active either, in fact i've seen more visible logins this year from JJ than from Chris. Sure, I understand that they have jobs and other stuff offline that they have to do, but showing this level of inactivity without a clear public statement/explanation is, in my view, rather unacceptable for site admins.

Just my thoughts,

Robert

J did log in for the Zone's Birthday. I was only logged in for about a half an hour that day, but I saw him there the whole time, so....yes, he was there.

Alternate Universe could be good. It just needs to be....fixed? Maybe there's more to it. I will admit that I don't know much about it.

Post 22 by illumination (Darkness is history.) on Thursday, 11-Mar-2010 15:42:12

Nope, there's not much to that pointless page. And he might have been her for the zone's birthday, but he's not logging in very often right now, which was my whole point. If he can't keep up with this site, there needs to be another admin. This site needs a lot of work as it is. And the alternate universe page can die.

Post 23 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Friday, 12-Mar-2010 15:11:54

Now if they made it a player killing game and the killer gets the points of the user he killed...

Post 24 by OceanDream (An Ocean of Thoughts) on Monday, 15-Mar-2010 15:06:29

Just...wow!

Post 25 by someone else (Zone BBS Addict) on Thursday, 18-Mar-2010 9:46:02

I saw Chris and j for the Zone's Birthday, but that's it. I've been wondering too about the site updates they've promised.

Post 26 by OceanDream (An Ocean of Thoughts) on Thursday, 18-Mar-2010 15:14:27

Yeah. I wondered myself, but didn't ask...

I thought the point reset, the change of point system, and the new bet max were the updates. Lol.

Post 27 by illumination (Darkness is history.) on Thursday, 18-Mar-2010 22:39:38

Oh no, this site needs a whole lot of work. The PHP coding is old, so it needs to be completely redone. It'll of couse make this place more secure and stuff like that.

Post 28 by OceanDream (An Ocean of Thoughts) on Friday, 19-Mar-2010 9:32:41

Oh wow. That's interesting. I didn't think of that....

Maybe this topic's name should be changed to "Necessary Site Updates". Lol.

Let's take a vote:
Who likes alternate univerce?

Post 30 by fun girl (Generic Zoner) on Sunday, 21-Mar-2010 17:36:16

I never played it, but I would like to try it.

Post 31 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Sunday, 21-Mar-2010 23:12:31

You build rooms and stuff but nothing happens.

Post 32 by OceanDream (An Ocean of Thoughts) on Monday, 22-Mar-2010 8:19:11

And, if you really like exploring, you click on lots and lots of links...lol.

Post 33 by Elenhiia (Feather'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr for president!) on Monday, 22-Mar-2010 9:46:48

Make it so we can create commands and reactions relating to the items in our rooms....and make it so that, by request, we could connect rooms or something? That might be a little more difficult as the directions have to stay sorted out, but hey! It's an Alternate Universe! We could have teleportation access points to other rooms. Please? It'll be fun.....anyway

Post 34 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Monday, 22-Mar-2010 23:51:20

yeah and it makes a sound when you enter a portal. z'z'z'z'z'z'zap!

Post 35 by OceanDream (An Ocean of Thoughts) on Tuesday, 23-Mar-2010 11:53:53

Does it? Wow! A new discovery! I didn't know that!

Post 36 by The Elemental Dragon (queen of dragons) on Thursday, 25-Mar-2010 14:07:20

and when you make a room, you stay stuck in it.. i've been stuck in the room i made for over two months now and i'm not happy. so AU, hate it... and it needs to die.

the bug in stones needs to be fixed, and a shit load of other stuff.

that's y i'm not paying for another premium membership. cuz, what gets done with the money from them? nothing really... yes, i'd like a name change, cuz darkwing is old, but that's not going to happen...

Post 37 by OceanDream (An Ocean of Thoughts) on Friday, 26-Mar-2010 17:08:02

Totally agreed about Stones. How long have we been talking about this? Lol.

Post 38 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Saturday, 10-Apr-2010 17:55:34

But A U does suck. I hope they at least find a way to make it fun.

Post 39 by illumination (Darkness is history.) on Tuesday, 13-Apr-2010 16:13:07

The only way it'll be made fun is if they delete it.

Post 40 by OceanDream (An Ocean of Thoughts) on Wednesday, 14-Apr-2010 8:49:21

Good idea, but fun?

Post 41 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Thursday, 22-Apr-2010 19:27:54

it should go.

Post 42 by Jeromea (Kahee!) on Sunday, 13-Jun-2010 12:03:47

That alternate universe doesn't say it takes points but it takes a shit load, remove the damn thing.

Post 43 by laced-unlaced (Account disabled) on Sunday, 13-Jun-2010 12:37:35

admins, thoughts?

Post 44 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Wednesday, 25-Aug-2010 23:33:40
