How satisfied are you with Fiesta/OS?

[Orchids_Mantis]

Well, I have to admit, as much as I say about OS that is negative; a lot of it is more than they deserve. They do get fixes out, I get help when I need it -I still think they wemt a little overboard with the cash shop, but overall I think they are doing...not incredible, not super-fantastic, but good.


So I thought I'd make this poll to see what others think. Share your ideas; what they do well, and what you think they could use improvement on.

Please avoid direct flames to OS or staff; I'd like to see what the general feeling among the population is, rather than having the thread locked and closed. I'll put in as many options as I can to make it balanced, but please realize that due to limitations, not all options can be made available.

If your option isn't shown exactly, feel free to put in multiple items to show better what you think.

[drigr_x]

I enjoy them. Silky seems to have been more helpful lately (I was loosing faith), Nekopwn is just amazing, Straega keeps us well informed with the OSI, we have some great CL's, and I've noticed a LOT more focus on what the community thinks and how we want things done. Besides the last 2 weeks they've been doing a good job killing some bugs. Hopefully we still have much more to come.

[spookyiness]

i have more issues with the people of the community than with outspark themselves
if people just learned to stop whining and complaining about every single little thing that bugs them personally, rather than actually effect everyone's gameplay, there would be far less complaints and the true problems would get true focus

threads like this are what destroys gaming communities, rather than management (especially of a company that clearly is doing something right as the customer base is growing bigger every day)

[Icetra]

I agree more of Spooky's part. Myself I have no problems with OutSpark, but only the community that worries. With what the countless spam, language, and argument that seem to spawn every passing moment.

The cash shop, yes, it may have gone...a bit overboard, but at least it isn't crucial. Good thing it's a optional thing, eh?

So, yeah. It's not OS, but focus more on the community. I think most of the people are causing far more problems than this, don't you think?

*checks thread*
"I think OS is doing good...I get help when I need it...tell me what your opinion is"

*checks options in poll*
I thought I made it fairly neutral...I don't see how a thread like this will "destroy the community"; it's just asking for what the peopel playing the game really think. If your meaning is the fact that I included poll selections that say OS is bad, well that's because not including them would make it biased and invite flaming from people that are not happy.

yes, you personally gave a 'neutral' response to your own question, but it has to be wondered if that was only to prevent the thread being closed before it started (some poeple do, i'm not saying you personally act like that in my experience).

my point was that threads like this are the ones that do bread hate and negative aspects to parts of the game that aren't at fault, it brings out all those people that spend every day either in the forums complaining about every little thing they can find, or playing the game - when in reality, just stopping one of those cures most of the problems, but they still do both.

any thread, no matter what the intentions, that ask for opinions on how things are run, will always end up with people doing the 'i hate this because it's blue, and i like red' crowd, and rarely (not never, but rarely) brings out the constructive things that were intended at the onset

[Ariandra]

Been here for almost three years. Guess that says I like it. Get fed up with some stuff, mostly foul mouthed and ksing players and yes, I do get annoyed with things like when the Tower gets glitched repeatedly or things I don't consider broken get "fixed" leaving other things that do need fixing still broken, (like auto running when at storage or a few other areas). In general I think the staff does a really awesome job staying cool when we get all whiney and po at silly stuff and I like some of the new things that are happening. I don't like it that those with the most money, rl cash that is, get to do and be the best just because they can spend their way to the top. (BTW, I do NOT mean the new winners of the sc who made it to lvl 105 already. Money or not it took a heckalot work, time and skill to get there. Gratz to them all!) A little less focus on the store please.

Something I would personally like to see is the last two slots in storage, (not your back pack the other thing), being free or at least being able to be bought as a permanent. I'd also like to see a page just for our awesome clothes or the ability to put it in the big storage. Storage is always a major issue. Last, (for now ;)), how about making the drops a little more even. People go nuts trying to get enough sbl, or such so they can make their products, or you get tons of two colors of dust and a measly few of the third color. Means more "stores" taking up space and blocking pathways and means it's awfully darned hard to use the skills we have.

My vote? Thumbs up OS and team!

[Orchids_Mantis]

no..it's just really what I was wondering. I was talking to someone earlier and we starte talking about glitches and SC stuff and how it's so different from 2 years ago; then I said "I have to admit, I give OS more crap than they deserve, I get a lot of help from them when I really need it". When I said that; I just felt like making this poll to see how others felt (I wish there had been 11 items available so I could have made that a choice as well).

The balance and neutrality of it is because for a poll to have any chance at giving anywhere near an accurate reflection; it has to be presented as neutrally as possible

[Icetra]

Of course. Because anything that's biting their butt, they want to throw that little pest to the closest complaint. However, even so, in other threads they'll find a way to complain. They'll do it in game, heck, they'll do it somewhere else. Something like this will start off a complaint pool, but then again...it would be expected. Because it's too obvious. Threads that have anything with 'Ohh OutSpark is slacking off, too high stuff in the Cash Shop, blah blah blah...' They'll find someway to complain about. These only causes stronger influences, but not the real cause. That is for the mind to produce.

In my entire life on Fiesta I never had a bother or a complaint to send to OutSpark. This game has really inspired me into writing, chatting, and bringing my first friends. But as it's clearly said - The community needs to be fixed. Don't look at the company.

I never will have ill thoughts for OutSpark, but I still don't think it's in true perfection. Until the community is repaired, maybe, but now it seems many people wants to complain, and complain, and just...blah. You know the rest. It's pitiful, actually. First it goes to the Cash Shop, then about the glitches, and whatnot. But it's not truly they're fault. I doubt the staff would even slack off on this game. What would be the purpose of that? There is none. Sure, the shop is high, but it is optional. There's no point crying and whining to the forums or the staff because of that. You don't need to buy anything. At all.

And there... ._.

[spookyiness]

"we want more content, more quests, all the bugs fixing, employ more programmers to fix all the problems and employ more csrs to deal with all the useless complaints we send you every day"

"oh, but no more cash shop, stop adding new stuff or raising the prices, cause like, everything in teh world costs more now than it did, and we don't want more cash shop items"

cause everything they want is free

[onionknight21]

I too think OS is doing a better job than before. I've noticed many things they have done to improve our gaming experience. Some not so good and others worthwhile. I would like to lay some suggestions for Os if anyone doesn't mind.

-Help out the higher lvl players in game
-like DT; make it balanced somehow
-Some quests for lvls 91+ (am i right? or did i get this wrong? sorry i really don know)
-100 job change balance and major fix( u all know what im talking about)
-Some high level class balance (i.e archers a lil more evasion and aim; mages more hp stones or dmg; fighters....um...hmmm a sandwich; and clerics some freakin dmg GAWD or small attack aoe spell (-.-)

-Help out Mid-Levels
- I see ur introducing Leviathans nest for 50-60ish i think; good job jus make sure its balanced and very challenging. I mentioned before in making it like a repeat quest with like giving u 10% of a level or somfing along those lines
- It would be nice to eliminate KQ prerequisites like having to kill 10 monsters before u get xp -.-

- Help out Low Levels
-um....i guess Izyel needs some major fixin' but it needs to be balanced and fair ( i have nubs too who wanna catch up to my main "o.O"

hahaha ^_^

anyways i think this topic was well presented. We jus need more input from our elites and veterans ^___-

[Icetra]

"we want more content, more quests, all the bugs fixing, employ more programmers to fix all the problems and employ more csrs to deal with all the useless complaints we send you every day"

Congratulations. You just listed the pure, knowing truth.

[Orchids_Mantis]

Actually; this poll is going about as I had predicted. Of the people that don't toally hate OS; the majority so far like OS and just wish they'd help out with and be more iinvolved in the community.

[GM_Nekopon]

I'm not commenting on good or bad. I'm just saying the first part of the answer may not match up with the second. Such as:

Very Good; but they need to concentrate more on community control/interaction instead of SC

I'm happy with it; but I wish they'd fix the glitches a bit faster

But the voter may feel this way instead:

Very Good; but I wish they'd fix the glitches a bit faster


Thus making it seem less accurate than it is...

Yeah, I realized after making it that those parts were worded in a way that could warp the presentation...but I don't think I can edit the poll any more

perhaps a more balanced way would have been to make a list of how they feel toward OS (Perfect, good, bad, neutral) and a list of what they thought (need more involvement in community, need to fix bugs faster, concentrate on SC too much, etc).

Ah well...perhaps I'll redo this in a month or so in that method

[Icetra]

Well, let's be joyful the flames haven't been fed.

Edit: Looking at the poll, more people are agreeing to the last choice... o-o

[Orchids_Mantis]

Some of that is old players that wish for how Fiesta used to be, and some of it is new people that don't see/know what has been done.

[yucina]

Woot!
Bobbi totally owned the OP. She knows what she's talking about, and there's not much more I can say. She's said everything on my mind.

Her and Icetra both.
And Nekopon's put her somewhat input on it.

Bottom line is, this is going badly. Check your own poll. People THINK it's OS's fault. But they're trying. And this only throws gasoline into the fire. This helps no one. x-x

and nothing can be done to "bring back the old Fiesta", so people just need to move on and catch up with the times.

All this hatred toward someone that isn't even ticked at OS...I can only imagine the fights you start and flames you fan when someone says something bad about them

*checks votes on poll* very good, good, I'm happy, excellent, perfect...yeah, these people seem to think OS is doing a bad job *sarcasm*

[kklobos]

when fighters mock animations gets fixed i can die happy, but on the other hand yeah they are doing a good job, still wishing more events like before

[Icetra]

People think it's OutSpark's fault for the community being so harsh? Maybe, but they don't craft people's intentions, nor their moods, ways, or any sort.

Without the community, OS would be in a rut. They would make no funds at all. The bad, is clearly chasing away the good. And when there's a bad community, alot of people leave. (Goes the same for another MMORG. The community is so strict in grammer, RPing, how you act, and such. Make a mistake they pick on you far worser than here. I've seen many people leave that game because of that. Sad thing is...it's 80% of the community that's strict.)

[spookyiness]

i never understood the 'old fiesta' crowd
i meant like, this is the digital age, it's a live mmo across the world, and it's dynamic

if they actually got 'the old fiesta' back how it was, how many complaints on the forums would there be about it being "2 years now, and no updates, nothing new, it's just all the same, you never progress or go forward"

the 'old fiesta' that you actually want is the people that were there, but like anything that's actually good, other people want to join, and human nature makes a lot of them male appendanges, but there are still good people - people need to stop focussing on the negatives, and they certainly need to stop focussing on selfish things and actually realise that outspark have marketed a game that went from a very glitchy 20 levels to a 105 level 5 (now 6 i suppose) full servers with new players joining all the time, and a variety of new things, and yes, they DO fix things, but if you stop focussing on the one thing that bothers you personally, and realise that other players have issues that do get resolved, the world would be a better place.

'the old fiesta' would just be stale, and boring, and noone would want in, and if you want a game like that, mmo's are for you, you need standalone stuff on your console. mmo's are about community, and it's the community that you should all be trying to fix, not whining at the people that give you a game, that for the most part, is FREE.

[Orchids_Mantis]

Again, I am not complaining at OS or wishing for the old Fiesta -I even said in 2 posts that I give OS more crap than they deserve and that they do a lot and help out a lot.

Stop saying "you" in your postings as that sounds directed at the OP (me); try saying "they"; this directs it at a more general crowd, rather than sounding like a confrontation to a specific person.


For a person who is -and whose followers are- supposedly so worried about flames; you and they both seem to do a lot to start them (not directed at Icetra).

[yucina]

All this hatred toward someone that isn't even ticked at OS...I can only imagine the fights you start and flames you fan when someone says something bad about them

*checks votes on poll* very good, good, I'm happy, excellent, perfect...yeah, these people seem to think OS is doing a bad job *sarcasm*

Can you even comprehend how many threads I see just like this? It irritates me to no end how many many players complain when the OS staff works their hardest to make this a game worthy of playing.

People need to pull their heads out of the trash cans and look around. -.-

[Icetra]

Sadly, some people just can't look into the light. They dwell on the past too much it gets into their head. It's how most life is.

Just give them a few knocks with a sword, and you won't have pleasant results. Do it five more times...bah.

Edit: (Agh. I'm in a serious rant mood now. x.X)

You mean threads where someone with no ill will gets hammered for asking opinions by people who think he is evil and make him out as someone trying to destroy all that they know and love?

Or did you mean the poll?

[yucina]

This thread is asking for the OS haters to come in. That's all I'm stating kind sir~

That's when the "true flames" will come in. .-.

[Icetra]

Yuc, don't spill the words into the world.

It may actually come true.

[yucina]

Sorry. .-.

[Chaola]

Poor Ao. All the ones wanting to prevent flame, flaming you *pats*

I won't vote in the poll, because there is no really option for what I think, and really there is more than the problems with OS.

Sorry for the long post that is coming, it'll be my closure :)

Fiesta is a great game. From level 1 to 79, it's awesome. I loved that game. Then you hit 79, and it's the repeats. Still doable, enjoyable now that they fixed the GM KQ and the rewards. Then, you hit 91, and it's over. Now more enjoyable. Even those who flamed the people asking for quests to avoid the full grind at this point are quitting the game, or have stopped leveling.

But in all this, there is 2 problems :

- OS :
Not really a problem. They are a company that makes the game available and free for all. I have nothing against them, maybe a little more communication, but I saw that with the hiring of the new GMs, it's slowly becoming better, so kudos there.

- OOS :
Yes, the real problem comes from the developping company. This company who patches the game every two weeks, who gives you the cap raises, and in the process, all the little and not so little bugs that come with them.

Just look at the first post of GM_Nekopon's list of "worked-on" bugs.
Most of them are months, if not a year old. With each patch, new bugs are released in the game. Making the list grow.

And when users are happy that bugs are fixed, really, it's ironic. Because they are only fixing the most recent bugs.

Still the party bug ? Still the guild storage bug ? Still the level of golden bats bug ?

Those are a few exemples, and might be nothing, or not much in the gameplay. It didn't stop me from enjoying Fiesta.

But it shows that OOS is leading the game where they want, not where OS wants.

We want balance, we want real PvP (and not money fight), we want End Game content...

All this isn't in Fiesta, and will never be.

That is why many of us, who realised this, who realised that despite all the money we put in the game, it won't change, it won't give us many things to do once capped, this is why people are quitting.

I am playing a P2P game now. Where I spend all my time in PvP, where it's not really balanced, beacuse really, perfect balance is not possible, but where I know that the guy killing me is either more skilled than me, or spent a lot of time farming for his better equips than mine, or both. And not because he doesn't care about putting tons of money in the game. When I'll cap, I'll be able to do raids, instances, never the same, and with a large choice. It's a game where you see TONS of capped players PLAYING ! Do we see that in Fiesta ? When the cap was 89, what did the capped do as soon as they capped ? They started an alt. Because they had nothing to do. Guild wars who mean nothing. DT who means nothing.

This game is good for the casual player who wants to have fun.

For a little time. Then he'll realise that really, the fun is really short =)

That's all.

<3 Ao, take care =)

[link8265]

*flames on purpose*

[caliab]

Bobbi, Icetra, Yucina...You know I love you guys (okay well Ice doesn't know it since we haven't talked lol) but can you WAIT for someone to flame before unleashing rants about how this thread is bad? If you think about it...every single thread ever made on forums can be flamed by those who just want to start trouble. I could make a thread saying "omg these costumes are beautiful" and someone can randomly put "no it doesn't it sucks. OS needs a life"

You guys are have already stated you feel the problem isn't with Outspark...that it's with the community. So you know I'm right. You know there are people that can flame anything. So can you please not take it out on the OP? Especially since it's gone 4 pages (even including link's post) without it. And the only bashing has been from posts complaining about complainers. Because yeah, alot of people have selected the bottom choice on the poll. But at least they've kept their reasoning quiet. ;)

Now for my actual comment about the thread...I also found it hard to choose which one to vote on. I wanted to choose "Very Good; but they need to concentrate more on community control/interaction instead of SC" but i don't agree with the "Instead of SC" part because OS is a business and that's always going to be the main focus. So I just picked that I'm happy with most of what they do because I haven't had any issues with the staff. They're all friendly and I know they work hard and they try to keep us happy. They even try to placate the rude people who honestly don't even deserve polite responses lol. My only complaint I've ever had is Enhancement prices. But whatever. I'll rock my +0.

[Icetra]

Where was it stated that I'm going against the OP? I am only voicing my opinion, and my opinion only. I am not disagreeing with OutSpark, or Ao, it's just that half of the time these threads cause flame. But luckily it hasn't been a terrible mess on this thread. Hmm?

[caliab]

I'm saying can you guys cut the Original Poster some slack because there are so many posts stating this thread will go bad.

Of course. Because anything that's biting their butt, they want to throw that little pest to the closest complaint. However, even so, in other threads they'll find a way to complain. They'll do it in game, heck, they'll do it somewhere else. Something like this will start off a complaint pool, but then again...it would be expected. Because it's too obvious. Threads that have anything with 'Ohh OutSpark is slacking off, too high stuff in the Cash Shop, blah blah blah...' They'll find someway to complain about. These only causes stronger influences, but not the real cause. That is for the mind to produce.

That's when the "true flames" will come in. .-.

I'm all for sharing opinions. That's the beauty of forums. But as I've said anyone can make flames out of anything so why so many posts about it going downhill when all the OP wants is constructive comments? Can someone just wait for it to happen then get rant-happy?


Okay so one more thing I think could be nice is next time you do a poll (because you said you might make another one later) is it possible to make it so that our names can't be viewed under our poll choice? It's like AHA! Now I see the people who dislike OS. That's something that's actually kept me from voting on similar polls in the past. But this time I actually am happy with the way things are going lol

[Icetra]

Okay.

The post you just grabbed? That was my prediction that it would start to flame. As stated, people are always looking forward to throw their complaints. Whenever my prediction is wrong, okay, but as far as I know, I don't think I'm even complaining to the OP, and he can judge me if possible. Like I said...the flames haven't been fed yet, so I admit myself that I'm wrong. But...err, please don't assume hastily. Again, I am not against him in anyway possible, but most of the time flames happen in this kind of thread. Me and Bobbi says this from what seems to be experiencing it from other threads. (Plus, threads that are irrelevant to this topic...most people will cry in them. Honestly.)

To be honest, I don't care about these kind of threads as well. I don't mind saying my opinions and thoughts about OutSpark. Again, there will be no ill in mind to them, because I don't have a reason to hate the company itself.

Yes, it's the beauty of the forums. Then again no one never wanted to see whining at all, especially without a good reason.

._. I'm done. And now I do this... -hugs caliab-
Friends? :D

(Heh. Off-topic.)

Edit: Okay. I think I get the idea now. But my words still stay the same of why I was 'ranting'. Plus at fault I was in the ranting/lecturing mood. .-.

[caliab]

lol *hugs* you're a good guy. No worries.

[Krusnik02]

OS turned greedy and doesn't listen to it's customers. /game

-Insert flaming rant here- If only OS was worth it.

[nique554]

Neko has really picked OutSpark up.

Nekopon FTW! :D

[The-Sakura]

I love Outspark (Neko-chan has been REALLY helpful), and I love just about everything they do. There are one or two issues that I think they could do better on, but that's going to be true with anyone.

[Plushii]

Neko and Straega are picking up where Dakkon left, after he left things went downhill, and when they came it started to improve again in my opinion.

Neko talks and is active on the forum lots, she listens to players, that's nice =3

[silksilk]

You know there will be complaints and arguments towards OS always(this goes for all companies), but the fact still remains, which game have you played with such great publicity and player base that has had bugs/glitches SINCE THE START OF THE GAME(some of them which have never been fixed), on top of that can you date out one maintenance that has went successful? Can you name me one realistic bug that's been fixed? can you name at least 10 CSR tickets that have been handled properly with the CSRs, can you name me 5 suggestions that have been heard in the Suggestions thread? can you name me at least 6 out of the plenty GMs that have been helpful? Can you name me 10 good reasons not to quit fiesta?

[legendking3]

my simple rateing:

graphics: 3.5 stars
color: ****
design: ****
glitches: *** (the less stars the more glitches)
graphic/envionment interaction: *** (how the different kinds of graphics like mobs, weapons etc. work with their enviornment and other graphics, eg. 2h going through wings)

staff: 3 stars
friendlyness: ****
ability to provide sufficent service: **
ability to maintain game: ***

leveling: 2.25 stars
level balancing: **
low level content: ****
high level content: *
class balancing: **

[Dthugtherealist]

I really like this game the service to me is great when I send in a game a ticket a CSR has given me a answer everytime my friend got his char fixed personally by a PM and now can whisper and got married. SC is not a factor till 7x and can be put on hold till 91+. I lvled through the game till 70 with bad skill empowerements and a hybrid build that wasn't really my style I got SC to fix that up and I farm and watever I like to pvp but I don't use charms to pvp except in wars I'll admit cuz lots of people charm anyways.

Prices need to be lowered in the store tho 91+ you need a exp card teva extender at least a exp card should not cost 25$ avid players are not liking this aspect prices in the store should be cut in half in my opinion and the exp cards should be cut by 70%. People blow lots of money on the tough cookie just for the charms smart business move would be to dismember the cookie pack and make it so the stacks of 50% charm of might are 2k SC a stack like someone said also adding the ability to get perm storage slots would be nice and making em stackable up to 20 slots same with the iron case.

Enhancing shoudn't be so expensive people blowing 25$ on one piece of equipment isn't the way to go. 91+ you need to be full 9 except if your a cleric or you will have problems in the battle field cuz you have to pull so many mobs I have never enhanced before cuz of the money it takes you gotta ask your self do you want to have suits extenders and wat not or would you rather +9 one piece of equipment is it worth it?

Also to fix all these buggs there needs to be maitenance every single night just my opinion I would not mind using maybe a couple days total on my stuff if the buggs and lag was improved cuz of this.

Sorry for the bricks I hope you read em :D

[Blaxcalibur]

ill make my post short n sweet

Quite honestly what you're asking for to be named is quite unfair given that Outspark(and most all companies) do not publicize information regarding handled tickets, give public acknowledgement to suggestions, and 10 good reasons being ultimately very subjective. I can't help but feel that doesn't help when if you're dis-satisfied asking for private information comes off to me(no offense meant) as you don't care to be satisfied, even if you're wrong.

By all means private message me if you wish to correct my stance on that, but I can't help but feel looking at the post from different angle's that it's the one conclusion I can come up with. If I am wrong about the matter, I'll happily edit this post with an apology sticker slapped on for assuming on the topic.

That said, I have my misgivings on some matters, but overall I think Outspark does a pretty darn fine job. I let them know if I'm a bit dis-satisfied though, and do so privately.

I've been here since Outspark's birth, but a CL for a little over a year now... and I'm real proud of being a part of Outspark. It has grown so much! It is sad that some staff have to depart, but new ones come in and brighten things up! (Like Nekopon and Straega! ^^)

There are also many frustrating times Outspark and its community is forced through, but I have been content with patience and faith in Outspark. They really try to make the community happy, though it is not visible to some people. Glitches are a huge problem with Fiesta, and the staff behind it at Outspark are constantly trying to get them fixed.

I also see a lot of people complaining about cash shop items. In the f2p realm, the Cash Shop is very important source source of income to keep a f2p game or service going. When I buy sparkcash, I think of it as getting a perk for helping the company out.

In the end, Outspark has been my favorite online portal and has the best overall community imo. :)

That was my reason for not replying to that post either. But now I want to try lol!

"have you played with such great publicity and player base that has had bugs/glitches SINCE THE START OF THE GAME(some of them which have never been fixed)"
-I don't really play other games but the only point I can think to mention is that while yes, bugs/glitches are a problem...the ones that seriously affect gameplay are usually made top priority to be fixed. They do have to rely on OOS's swiftness and language issue to get it right.
"can you date out one maintenance that has went successful?"
-Didn't the last one go okay? Possibly because there wasn't much content added. hehe. :p
"Can you name me one realistic bug that's been fixed?"
-Party bug before where there used to be a time you couldn't click someone's name in the party. You had to resort to either clicking on the character themselves or using the F1-F5 keys which was HORRIBLE for clerics trying to heal people. That was fixed.
"can you name at least 10 CSR tickets that have been handled properly with the CSRs"
-I don't know 10 people that have even submitted tickets. They only talk about it if the response wasn't what they liked. And I only know of two friends where that happened.
"can you name me 5 suggestions that have been heard in the Suggestions thread?"
-Not from the suggestions thread but I've seen in at least five places in other random threads where someone made a suggestion and a GM or CL saw the post and said it was a good idea and that they would try to see if they could get it applied. If you meant suggestions that have been heard AND incorporated into the game, well it's not really up to GMs is it. They've got bosses of their own to ask.
"can you name me at least 6 out of the plenty GMs that have been helpful?"
-Can I even name 6 GMs? I get confused between which GMs are even with fiesta and which have switched to the other OS games.
1) Neko 2) Straega 3) Rayse 4) Silky 5) Murdock 6) Kae
"Can you name me 10 good reasons not to quit fiesta?"
This is my list

1) Because I can't. I'm addicted.
2) I already have a year's worth of cs items in my backpack I don't want to waste.
3) I have fun playing with friends on fiesta and dgo.
4) To let off some steam by hitting people in the head with my +0 hammer
5) Because I'm finally high enough level to survive during the events
6) So I know what I'm talking about when I'm on forums (and forum is fun)
7) It's the only game I've got or even want to play.
8) Because quitters never win? ;)
9) They need clerics for raids and I like feeling needed irl and in the virtual world
10) My ingame lovers would cry.

Okay so I wasn't serious about my list. But I obviously don't need to give 10 reasons why anyone should stay in fiesta because almost 90% of people saying they should quit don't for their own reasons.

That was fun.

well if this is your only game that you haev ever played, maybe go out and see other games then answer my questions, otherwise you are satisfied with what you have, itll be good enough for you, but i dun think spending money on a game which is not offering you anything really but a community, and thats about it.


I mean really? one question, which maintenance has been successful? i just look at the overall picture, EVERY GAME eventually gets rid of the biggest bugs/glitches/lag issues within the first few months( Besides games that are made in garage ), lol instead in this game they let it ride for 2 years?

I've have tried other games. They don't interest me at all. That's why I say I don't "really" play other games.
Satisfied with what I have? Lmao you should read some of my other posts.
What I like about this game in particular, not so much the community on its own but the fact that any other computer or video game that interests me...if I bought say Sims 3 I would eventually get bored. Why? Because it's the same every time. With Fiesta there's always something different: new content, new players, cap raises, maps, etc. It's ever growing and it changes the gameplay experience and is different. That's why it's kept my interest this long. Should I have added that to 10 reasons to stay? :p

[silksilk]

new content? when did that happen? why was i not notified?? they added new interactive quests O_O, or is it the same kill a billion of these mobs and then collect a billion of this item and return to NPC?

when you say new content that should be new content like for instance, ill tell you what new content is, the apprentice system, thats new, hummmm what else the cap raise is not really new, just means endless grind again, oh yea the ummm damnit i cant think of anything new that they added.

I guess you can call the HUGE square hands and the low level mage pants that show camel toe good grafix. =P

really??? the name of the game is in that screenshot??? really? are you sure???? really???

mmks! *waves* bye! have fun!

Oh wait...your status says you're playing Fiesta right now. Thought you were leaving, eh. ;)
Like I said. 90% of the people claiming to quit fiesta end up not going.

Yes it is, although I mistakedly hit the submit button when reviewing the name of the linked image via the quote button. That was my mistake in the matter. It seemed to be a generic tag associated with the screenshot tags most MMO's give when hitting the correlating button.

you mean onlineonthe forums =) notin game , and i stay here stillbecause i still do run a guild and i care for the members that cannot run newer games because of low computer specs, oh isaid bye bye a long time ago but i like to sit around and see the failures of OS, like that post about guild wars and the new rules HAH! its a joke.

[caliab]

nope status on your profile said "I am playing Fiesta" not just on forums. ;)
The fact that you have reasons for staying proves the point I had made here:

Okay so I wasn't serious about my list. But I obviously don't need to give 10 reasons why anyone should stay in fiesta because almost 90% of people saying they should quit don't for their own reasons.

Why don't we take our bantering to PM. I'm bored seeing the only update to this thread from you. Let's actually see what other people feel about their satisfaction of OS shall we. :p

[silksilk]

nah i dont think so, i have as much as right you have to post whatever i feel like, if you dont like my "Bantering" you can take your talks in PMs, =/


Oh and can the CSRs explain to this girl/boy whatever it is that the status on the profile is bugged, when you are logged in the forums it shows you as playing fiesta. =P


Tsk tsk yet another bug Lol everytime i log on to the forums, it shows me playing fiesta, however after if i refresh the status after 20 mins it changes to not playing, its funny you say im playing lol because this is my forum account =P.
