Im getting a lil bored with terra and sum of the people on it... Anyone on ere play much on Mars? Im gonna start playing on it a lil bit and could mebbe use a hand getting leveled/kitted out. Ive made a HC tank atm cause they can make sum decent cash from solo firemobbing :)
I have a near-capped rifle pe on mars (was my pluto char in nc1) who is currently languishing in the Fallen Angels faction but needs to move factions as i dont like fa.
Mars rocks however, its like a whole new nc all over again. You know pretty much noone, get jumpy every time a new name pops up on your screen and get to learn a whole new language while youre at it. Plus if you make a little effort to speak it it can do wonders with the natives.
As for money/items etc. sorry cant do much there as only have about 100k on that char.
Thats another reason why ive started on mars... it feels quite cool to be a noob again, normally when i create a char i have all imps and weps i need to lvl it up really fast. Now that ive started on Mars with nothing but my starter 'nade launcher and 2k, i find myself searching through boxes to sell the contents to yo's like in the old days :lol:Quote:

Seriously though, I know a few people over the years who have moved onto the other server to try to recapture that "lost" magical feeling that we all once had at the start of our addictions. It is good fun for a time, the language barrier can actually be kind of cool too if you can read enough german to understand and there does seem to be more rp there. I think it is probably best that you dont advertise the fact that youre from Terra however as I have come across some hostilities over it but I think that may be more "server nationalism" than anything, or the vague memories of a clan who arent here any more.
I am tempted to log into mars some time too. What did you call your char there Mr Malone?
edit: read the sig.

The last thing i did of any significance was the AK mission which was good fun ended up trying to get me a storm laser but i think i was in the wrong place. Other than that my NC days are slowly drawing to an end.... my pvp days are long gone my pe no longer has the imps to do it neways and its generally not fun anymore :(
Main reason for me joining Mars was for the 'magical feeling' as u stated, i know dribs and drabs of german so i think ill be able to manage nehow and ill still patrol p2 on my le'd char while playing on mars... one of the many benefits of dual logging :angel:
I moved to Mars last year and it is where my Main char is.
I have logged into Terra about five times in the past year for about a total of an hour.
People often have some knowledge of English on Mars, although I often consult bablefish out of respect for the language and try and converse in it.
I have not come across any "server nationalism" at all and find everyone quite fun to play with.
ya, you wont hear the "this is an xxxxx server, speak xxxxx you moron" message
that often on mars.

i myself play mostley for pvp since a long time ago.
Dont get me wrong, i pvp on my spy but im new to nanites so cba with the hassle. There are other things in the game which i enjoy doing other than pvp but alot of factors are just killing the PVP atm, even tho sum of those ARE being reduced... :)Quote:

PvP on that server used to be quite comical though. I started out as biotech then went PP then NeXT. Ran all the epics for the reward. Kept my apartment in the city when I switched to TG.
Occasionally I would pop back into plaza, kill a couple afk'rs and sit back and watch people swear at me in German. I didn't know what they were saying, but it sure looked angry.
Yep - but I talk rubbish in English so bablefish just made it even more unintelliable.Quote:

Mars population is way too low.

Indeed, Mars is offered for other things like PvE, missions and all that, but in the end it has almost no people (last time I looked yesterday, it had 3% in the evening)
Can you specify what is it that you enjoy in this game, if not pvp?
Does it matter? does it aid the thread that he is having fun with the game again and others are sharing similar experiences. [ edited ]Quote:

Back not so long back i actually enjoyed pvp, that was up until every1 and their mothers needed PPU's and the sort.... They know who they r ;)
Other than that, i may just carry on doing what im doing now and making my le'd woc chars, seems people dont like that fact... That and the fact there was only 14people on Mars last night :(

For most of us, the game is more then the abbreviation p2. Involving *shock* coorperating with others
I agree with this statement entirely :) and it will live happily ever after in my signature.Quote:

I thought i'd give you a hint on how you'd be able to find fun aside PvP. I'm not trying to force what you say and what you don't. It's your choice, but then you asked for where the fun outside PvP is.
It's quite understandable that one can't have much fun with anything else then fighting, if wherever he goes, ppl passing by regardless of faction turn around to make him go silent.
I hope you understand that i am not trying to force, bash or flame anyone. If i was up for such talk, i'd answer some trash on OOC for a laught.
Just trying to give a helpfull hand.

People who like to disagree with everything (jini been one... no offense) seem to kill the community and cause arguements. If everyone could keep all the bullshit to themselves then you would find yourselves with more of a population = more people to pvp and a generally nice environment to play in :) I aint trying to get at you, its just you need to get a grip and try and contribute something useful to the community other than the useless digs that get thrown about. This is one of the main reasons i was considering playing on Mars :mad:
On the contrary. It is exactly that people like you, are killing a game designed for heavy pvp. Instead of getting a weapon and joining the fun thats going on in p2 and/or OP scene, you try to tradeskill or PvE or whatever it is you are doing, but in the wrong environment. I guess there are other games offering better tools for this kind of interaction (not that in NC you cant do that, but it ends pretty boring)

Sorry Dan, back on topic. I know nothing about Mars, but I do know that I will quite literally cry if you don't still pop on Terra :p
people dont HAVE to pvp, if u wanna tradeskill ,killl mobs etc, i say go right ahead do whatever makes the game fun for u. Let no one tell u how to play the game ;)
jini apparently has most fun spamming ooc and the forums and arguing :p
if i where u i would just use the ignore feature and u wont ever have to worry about people being tards on OOC i belive thats what its there for.
ignore enough and it woudl be kinda like playing on mars :D
This thread is teetering on the brink. Please refrain from flaming each other any further. I shouldn't need to remind you that insulting other players is against the forum rules.
Thankyou Kindly,
Habrok.
