RPG style stats?
hey, i was on this afternnon and came back on tonioght and noticed these stats things so maybe noone has started a thread about it yet, can someone explain how you increase these statistics? Is it like a karma/dogma rating feature ? or does it go by amount of time on boards and post counts?
thanks. |
I dont play RPGs, so I have nooo idea what they are, and how they, I would like to know though. But it sure does look cool. Really.

The HP bar drops and rises according to your activity (for example if you post less than 5 replies each day, it decreases).
The MP bar varies depending on how long a user has been a member, and how active he is. The EXP bar shows how close you are to the next level. Basically, the more you post the more your stats will increase; but remember that the stats are also affected by how long you've been a member. |
wow, thats really cool, seriously!

can we actually use these stats for something?:peoples:
are you planning to make a forum game of some sort? btw, my stats just plain suck! :laugh: oh well. thats what i get for not being active i guess. |
About that next level thing, what does that mean? Just wondering. Dont shoot me.

Makg, yeah, I think your MP is low for that reason :laugh: |
!
must be as you post, ur exp. rises, then when ur exp is high enough you level up i guess.
w000 lvl 4! |
That's how RPGs work, so I guess that's how this must work too. Cool stuff actually. :cool:

Yeah, I understand that, I mean for a newbie, the EXP would rise high and then drop as he'll reach the next level.
But what levels will SSSnake and I would be reaching?.. Look at us! :laugh: |
yes this is a cool feature just like at some other forum's i go to.
|
how much HP/MP do you gain from posting? like how much increases with each post?
|
Whoa! How cool is it? The new style is really nice! I'm not that strong at the moment though... :weep:
|
Yes, it's cute stuff, and hopefully not too common among general gaming forums. We are adding more features in the next days.

Hmmm, the Admins being flooded by questions, hey I saw that one coming. :D
Oh yeah, one more thing.......can we get a sneak peak on the new things coming in next few days? And...will this HP/MP/EXP rise and fall (change) everyday?. |

And yes, I think I remember the minimum amount of posts per day to not affect the HP stat is 5. It's not that hard to mantain :right: |
Yes Makg,
basically every time you post you influence your stats... for example a couple of posts ago I had 131 Hp, now I have 132Hp. Damn... |

I think this means that you have to post at least 5 times each day to not decrease. If you post more, it'll be increased. Maybe it has something to do wit your average posts (you can check them in your profile). I'm not that sure, but that's what I got from the explanations and it seems a kinda reliable possibility to me.
BTW, it seems kinda clear that if your level increases, also the other stats will somehow increase. |
What happens when you lose all your HP and MP?:ghost:
|
Hmmm... the question is: can you lose all of them?
|
I like it. It amuses me. But,
what happens if my HP hits 0. Something bad? Will I die? Can someone use a healing potion on me? _RED_ stuff I'm joking, btw. |
man these stats are really cool..........keep up the good work(whoever did them!?!?!?!?!?!?)
|
If your HP reaches zero, you will be forced to start at the last save point and you will lose everything you have received after you last saved.
Oh wait...*turns off FF* If you are actually seriously worried about losing all your HP, then you just need to show up more. |
this is the sickest (in a good sense) thing i've ever seen in a forum! .....EVER! It's better than SPAM! Keep up the innovation by the way. Good work admins or whoever came up with this....:shock:
My stats are low :( what happens when i reach zero? |

We are going to add more RPG like functions in these days, just to add a bit of fun into posting. Currently, if your HP reaches 0 nothing bad happens; as someone else said, it just indicates you're not a good poster as others, or simply that you have recently joined the forums. Visit the forums, post, and you'll see the stats growing. We might modify the code a bit to make something happen when your HP reaches 0, maybe in combination with the other functions we are going to add. |
any plans on making a game which uses your stats? i know that would be unfair to new memebers but maybe it could work out...

But who knows, maybe in the future, with more resources available, we could throw in some little game. |
Finally, a reason to post stuff! Yeah!:cool:

Much as though I like this new RPG thing, I can't help but think that people may judge others by their stats. Plus it may encourage 'spammy' posts in order to raise these stats. Time will tell I guess. But please don't misunderstand - I think they are a great addition. - S |

It's just a funny thing that can make some people post more often, and this just means that the forums will be even richer of ideas and words to read - because the fact we included these little funny stats doesn't mean we'll be accepting spam or anything else. The rules are always the same. |

I don't really care about my stats, or those of others - I know who the good posters are here and I certainly don't think this will change their posting habits. Their is no doubt that something like this will encourage people to stay, and obviously you want more members (bandwidth permitting of course! Heh heh...). I'd just hate to see these forums inudated with an influx of spammy newbies who are only interested in boosting their stats. That's the reason I left FFonline (even though they haven't introduced stats). In January, I'll have been here 1 year, which suggests you and the rest of the team are doing things right (from my point of view of course). Fact is you're the only forum I belong to now and hence I can't help but feel protective. As I said, I think they are a great addition and will add a lot of fun to the forum - but I don't want to see people abuse this feature. -S |
I don't wanna diiiieeeeee!!!!!!!!!:ghost:
|
Thankfully, bandwidth is not an issue yet. We use and average just 4-5 GB per day, and we can use about four times this amount.
Unfortunately, this doesn't mean we don't need more financial resources. I'm working to create some ad plan, some donation system, something that can keep these place online as long as possible, with some income for the staff. Going back to the topic, there is no need to be scared. This little things spice just things up a bit. |
