Faery Tale Online

Remember the character that killed my first one? She just starved herself to death.

Call it Karma  8)

I have just got my 3rd character, also a fish folk. I thought it would not let you to repeat race, don't ask me why  :P

[Indirik]

My second character is still about #40 in the queue.

[jaune]

My second char died, and now 3rd char has been next in line 2 times and always bumbed up right before borning... now on queue: 1. :D

[Indirik]

The world is flat, and I have discovered the edge!

[jaune]

* jaune Imagines Indirik at edge of the world like Forrest Gump came to edge of America and raised his shoulders and turned back towards other edge.

I'm fairly well convinced that there are probably under 100 people that play this game. It is apparently very common for people to play up to 6, or even 9, characters. Multi-accounting to get more characters is the norm. There is absolutely no way for the playerbase to tell that two characters are on the same account, so someone could be running dozens of characters and no one would know.

For a game with such potential, this thing really falls flat on its face.

[Gloria]

Well, you already said the world was flat.  That the game also falls flat should be no surprise.

Pregnant Mothers: 0
Your position in the birth queue is: 30

Which is ridiculous, seeing as a registered sometime in November. I'm so gonna bang everyone in sight as soon as I can walk...

[Indirik]

The queue is moving very slow. Part of the problem is all the people with idle accounts they let sit to get to the top of the queue. They don't show up in the numbers, so you have no idea how many of them could be there. I understand it is common practice for the hardcore players to have several ready for when they know that someone in a colony they want to be in gets pregnant.

[Jon Snow]

Yeah, it's near impossible to tell how many people are actually in the queue. I went nuts when I first saw the game. It looked amazing, but all the waiting kinda puts off the excitement. Maybe we should suggest some computerized female characters in the game  ;D Except then the dads would be alone to handle the kids... Might not be such a good idea after all  :-\

[Indirik]

Well, prepare for a serious let-down. The vast majority of the people playing this game use it as a Virtual Family^TM, and just sit around playing homemaker, laughing at the antics of those silly kids. They are so scared that someone won't fall in line that they routinely kill children that do anything that might be considered threatening. Gloria's character was murdered by her mother when she made a vine whip. My character was almost killed when I made a joke about parental neglect in the game's IRC channel.

[Gloria]

Also, the player of the mother who killed my first character apologized months later, saying it was uncalled for.  She plays about 11 characters. 

[Bael]

Sounds really twisted.  :o
