Anyone else tried Elvenar?

I just signed up for my wife's sake because she was into Skyrim and really enjoys games like this. Me, I gave it 5 frustrating minutes and handed it over for her to suss out. We'll probably share the same character - an elf called Seeker Llewelyn.

Reviews suggest that the early gameplay is engaging, but it soon becomes repetitive and dull with little to do - many comments indicate just a few minutes of gameplay to maintain things every few hours.

Does it randomly toggle your caps lock button on and off too?

I think he does that to scare away the Illuminati.

Crisis what the hell are you on about? Are you on medication? That post makes no sense

I think he's off his meds again.

No spelling, grammar or sanity checkers in 1974 either?

You're making assumptions this is a well coded and optimised program.

It is quite possible it's been built using a generic off the shelf game engine for max profit and minimum development effort, hence the high CPU load and footprint.

Well Crisis after that first post of mine I never went back to the game and after an hour neither did my wife because its boring. Nothing happens and anyway it doesn't play the way it seemed to promise. What elf would want to build their home in a grid pattern city? I was hoping for forests and encounters with strangers, its just bullshit and boring as anything.

It's possible it is bitcoin mining or some such in the background, but does it matter if the player is content with the game experience?

Whatever, your odd RANTS and PARANOIA make it difficult to READ your posts. You SOMETIMES have a POINT, but it gets LOST in the barely literate CAPS GIBBERISH surrounding it.

Take a breath. Write it properly. If you really feel you need to emphasise something, the forum does have various formatting options available. Whether you wish to agree with it or not, it is accepted internet etiquette that WRITING IN ALL CAPS IS CONSIDERED TO BE SHOUTING!

Hollerith card, long time since I used one of those in anger.

then netiquettes are wrong, i LEARNED it different , nettiquette exsist for only about 15 year and sometimes people HAVE TO SHOUT just for being HEARD

It's been around longer than 15 years and (I think) predates the Web - I remember first hearing the word just after finishing college and starting a job, so would be 1992/93. During that time I first started using email and it was severely frowned upon if you used CAPS - it was definitely classed as shouting as far back as then.

Crisis why not try looking at this from a friendlier view point, eh?

I was a printer so I'm well familiar with the many nuances of spacing, font selection and so on. However just imagine that a forum is perhaps like a community, better yet, a living room in somebody's house.

People that live there express their preference for a certain degree of decorum and its simply good manners to respect their views even if they could be wrong about what constitutes anti social behaviour. Because we are a small society of friends it's our right to request that visitors refrain from what, to the visitor, would - in their own society - be considered quite acceptable.

Let me give you an example of my own. My wife is Jewish and very much interested in politics. Furthermore her family considered loud argument enjoyable and in my family politics was considered to be the province of dishonest rogues mainly looking out for themselves. My father once said that if I became a politician (or a lawyer) he might consider disowning me! Also in my 21 years of living with my parents not once did i ever hear them raise their voices at each other nor argue at least not within the hearing of my brother, sisters and myself.

So the first few months of my marriage were fraught with potential confrontations and in fact even now I often say "Do not raise your voice and shout at me, it doesn't strengthen your argument, I don't like it and I don't do it to you."
So we've agreed without ever actually stating it, that a vocal free for all is permissible if political events are under discussion. However over the years i think she's actually learnt to enjoy the notion of disagreement conducted in a normal tone of voice. Its probably helped that my dog gets a bit angry if she gets stroppy with me!
