Legend of the Green dragon

Enderandrew · Jan 14, 2005

If you would please, take a few moments to check out and test a free online RPG I'm putting up called Legend of the Green Dragon. I'd like a few players to give the game a quick run-through or two, to beta-test it for errors before I advertise it to the public. During the beta-test period you have unlimited turns. Just click on "New Day" when you run out of turns.

The game is based off the old Legend of the Red Dragon door game, which some of you may recall. Gameplay is simple, and easy to learn, yet easily becomes quite addictive.

It's a completely free browser-based role-playing-game, with no pop-up ads or anything like that. I'm footing the bill for the bandwidth to try and put something fun out there for the public.

I did not develop this game, however, I am customizing it. Suggestions and feedback are both welcome and encouraged.

Here's the question one should be asking: Why would anyone want to?

POOPERSCOOPER · Jan 14, 2005

Looks like shit. kthxbye

The original Legend of the Red Dragon BBS Door game was pretty awesome for its time. LotGD is a great way to reminisce, but aside from that it's really not that spectacular, and actually incredibly limited in comparison to the original.

I played the original Greenie so I guess I can see if your version is any different. Have you included fun? :wink:

Seriously, what are some of the changes you're thinking of?

Because they're gamers, and playing games is what gamers do.

I know of another web based RPG that is at least popular enough to keep the designer in business, and there is always Neopets which is ridiculously popular...

I'm actually "working" on a web based rpg too... so I hope this game sucks so that there's less competition.

Sarvis · Jan 15, 2005

I tried creating a character, it was supposed to send me an email or soemthing but that never happened.

Digit · Jan 15, 2005

Cool. So you all sit around bitching all day about RPGs, then when someone comes along with good intentions, a free game and asks for feedback the best you can do is "looks like shit...".

I would love to know where you expect your magical perfect RPG to come from, because it doesn't look like it will be from the developers of today with such sterling feedback.

@Topic starter: I have just finished work, so forgive me if I pass up the oppurtinity to check your game out, but I am off to bed. I would suggest posting on http://www.avault.com as there are loads of avid gamers, and a more responsive crowd.

I MAKE CRITISISM NOT INSULTS U FAGGOT

Why is this site so full of (veteran) morons?

Sovy Kurosei · Jan 16, 2005

Feel free to leave, anytime.

Volourn · Jan 16, 2005

"Feel free to leave, anytime."

Feel free in stopping being a retard ... anytime.

I mean, is that the best you got? Someone says something you don't like your relfex is tell them to leave? R00fles!

Vault Dweller · Jan 16, 2005

What's with you, Volly? Are you some kind of moral police or what? First, they can handle it without your help. Second, Twinkie didn't just made an argument some people may disagree with. He asked a provocative question and got the expected reaction. So? If you want to bitch about the answer, don't forget to bitch about the question too.

OR u can all just leave

His response was one of many appropriate responses.

Would you rather he:

a) defend the forum via insults to a person who already has their mind made up?
b) return to the actual topic, but letting the offending grunt of a poster fester and trash-up other forums?
c) try a soul-searchingly painful emotional attempt to convert the person to our way of thinking?

he told the guy if he doesnt like it...leave. im sure even you have used that argument before in some fashion or another. Most people use the analogy of a TV channel vs content. If you dont like the Howard Stern Show on E! change to CNN.

So you're going to attack someone for defending the forums? Niiiiiice. And dont say that they dont need defending. He was sticking up for people, jezus.

Otaku_Hanzo · Jan 16, 2005

Meanwhile, back on topic....

It really needs alot of sprucing up, Ender. I'm no graphics whore, so that shit doesn't bother me, but it does alot of people these days. To be honest though, I'm not a big fan of web based games to begin with. I just suggest you spruce it up so as to make it more presentable to those who do like web games.

Also, speaking of BBS games, does anyone here remember a BBS space sim game where you made your ship and flew all over trading, fighting, whatever? You could eventually get a big enough ship to hold fighters and such as well. I used to play it alot back in the early 90's and cannot remember the name of it for the life of me. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Volourn · Jan 16, 2005

"What's with you, Volly?"

Eh. Nothing's with me. I'm all alone.. :cry:

What a jerk youa re for reminding me. :cry:

"Are you some kind of moral police or what?"

Police get paid. I don't.

"First, they can handle it without your help."

Doubtful. One needs to have intelligence to be capable of that.

"Second, Twinkie didn't just made an argument some people may disagree with. He asked a provocative question and got the expected reaction. So?"

And. The expected thing isn't always the right thing.

"If you want to bitch about the answer, don't forget to bitch about the question too."

You guys can handle that. It's just everytime someone dinky newbie comes on, the ';regualr's tend to gang rape them just because they post soemthing negative about the forum. OMG He's mean so let's be mean too. R00fles! I'd rather let them get a few posts under their feet than trash them.. unless they make a direct attack on someone.

"im sure even you have used that argument before in some fashion or another."

I do lots of things - like having sex with your sister - that I'm not proud of. This is another one of those things.

"So you're going to attack someone for defending the forums? Niiiiiice. And dont say that they dont need defending. He was sticking up for people, jezus"

Don't tell me what I cna't say. This forum doesn't need defending. Afterall, this forum IS full of (veteran) morons. Heck, I'm one of those morons. Just ask Ved about that. He'll agree with me on that.

P.S. j/k on the sister thing. That was very mean of me. I am a bad, bad little boy. :idea:

Tradewars?

Hmmm.... possible, but I seem to recall it had a longer title. I could be wrong though. I did experiment with many BBS games back then, after all. Thanks for that though. I'll look it up and see if it's what I remember.

I'm not all that sure myself, I played a game similar to what you were describing like once back at school. Could've been like Tradewars 2020 or something like that maybe... really not sure though.

I'm sorry, I'm so stupid sometimes! But you are not alone, Volly, we are your friends, and Jed is dying to have a play date with you. All you have to do is say yes :lol:

"Are you some kind of moral police or what?"

Police get paid. I don't.

You should enfore the money-for-protection policy then. You helped Twinkie, now he owes you 10 bucks. If he doesn't pay, a guy like you can always make his stay here unpleasant :twisted:

"First, they can handle it without your help."

Doubtful. One needs to have intelligence to be capable of that.

Hmm, good point. It's nice that a guy like you always tries to help the less (intellectually) fortunate :lol:

"Second, Twinkie didn't just made an argument some people may disagree with. He asked a provocative question and got the expected reaction. So?"

And. The expected thing isn't always the right thing.

A philosopher, eh? You are truly a multitalented person.

It's just everytime someone dinky newbie comes on, the ';regualr's tend to gang rape them just because they post soemthing negative about the forum.

Regulars?

Volourn · Jan 16, 2005

"But you are not alone, Volly, we are your friends, and Jed is dying to have a play date with you."

He's dying? Good. Maybe'll he'll die sThat way, he won't harass me about playing NWN MP with him.

"If he doesn't pay, a guy like you can always make his stay here unpleasant "

Why'd I want to do that? I have a reputaion of good will and happiness here. Just as Jed and Otaku.

"A philosopher, eh? You are truly a multitalented person."

You ain't seen nothing yet.

"Regulars?"

Can't you read? It's regualrs. Tsk, tsk. Some people.

You must have confused this place with some other forum where one of your other multiple personalities, a nice girl, perhaps, posts.

"A philosopher, eh? You are truly a multitalented person."

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Sounds very promising. When should we expect to see more, another 4,000 posts?

Can't you read? It's regualrs. Tsk, tsk. Some people.

Two guys with 14 posts each?
