is frontier being too clever for their own good

Doesn't really matter what he said. He's said it's not an MMO and people ignore that and claim that, by definition, it's an MMO.

In all fairness we r not discussing that here, and most agree it isnt an MMO anyway.

Im just picking up on an inaccurate (and wishful) statement made on the forums which is not correct and consequently gives out the wrong impression of how the game is being designed.

The most accurate statement is that the game is first and foremost a multiplayer game with options to play solo within the game.

Sorry that I wasn't able to be 'at the beginning' so that I could have been a part of those obviously thrilling conversations, thus gaining a learned understanding of the definitions and terminology in use and fully agreed upon by everyone today.

Sorry Stab, it was aimed more at Pheonix than you.
I apologise.

Nom nom nom

I humbly accept such a gracious response to my misunderstanding of your proximity mine sent merely in my general direction.

It's flexiplayer.

Ooh! I like that!

Did you just make that up? If so some rep is coming your way when I can figure out how to do it.

It's a question of balance!

@Cathy - I like Flexiplayer (especially in purple)!

 

[psykokow]

I love flexiplayer...

and so I shall now refer to it as flexiplayer... I will however also aknowledge it is primarily multiplayer for shizzle (yes shizzle is my word of the day).. it is written as a multiplayer with other play options.

Im not going to get into a lengthy argument, it is clear I have not quite gotten what i wanted to say across. And I am not suggesting a technical aspect of design nor any suggestion that it is not a multiplayer game... but the end experience will feel much like that classic elite single player, but with lots of other single players.

Is that any clearer? if not I retire the point.. lol. I don't wish to mislead anyone...

It is the end experience that counts whatever you call how you play it.

It is a cool word.

And Psykokow, you know you want to try to get onsieplayer used for the single player option.

Click on the scales on Cathy's post (or this one if you want to practice first ) and you can add a sentence and approve her post.

Am I naive? Ignorant?

Please point me to a definition of shizzle!

That was a bit of a joke. I can't leave comments and struggle to know if I have left positive or negative rep with my android tablet.

 

[psykokow]

from (madeupipedia) : Shizzle, when coming in from a night out you might try to cook using a frying pan.. the resulting burns to your body are Shizzles.. the more drunk the more hhh's so I just SHHHHHIzzled my nizzle means you have serious burns to your nipples.

I hope that helps Witnail?

 

[STABB666]

Careful now...

Am I naive? Ignorant?

Please point me to a definition of shizzle!

Just don't get it on your 'Nizzle'.

 

[withnail]

LOL. Yes it does.

I have done that to myself a few times too.

 

[Phoenix_Dfire]

I think I'll stick with Flexiplayer. Don't want people getting too upset. ;-)

Someone- Slawkenbergius (apologies for bad spelling), told me that there's a full offline mode with no dynamic content. Plus Ironman mode that'll narrow the field even further.

What bad spelling?
