Oh.

@OtherBill do you know anyone else named Bill?

I know tons of other people named Bill. I’ve known eight other people named Bill who also have my same last name.

What do you see? Why are you here?

Realm caught me because it has some of those basic elements that I enjoy so much: elegant simplicity, multiplayer, depth. I love this game because of the design restrictions, the creativity that has to be employed within those choices, and the simple fun of pewpewpewing. For me, it gets the concept of casual gaming in a way that the entire casual gaming industry misses. “Casual” gaming has come to mean games (usually with limited depth) easily accessible by non-gamers, but really I think that particular aspect of game development is just the natural application of long tail economics to the gaming industry. There is nothing special or revolutionary about dumbing down a game, and I think game developers have completely missed the mark on the entire concept but are too blind to see it because of the laser-like optimization that has occurred in monetization. “Casual” gaming, in my mind, has always been about letting players engage with minimum barriers - and then making it easy to reengage again and again without penalties or new barriers popping up. Of course, not everything about realm holds to this ideal (and it’s much worse now than when I first played). But it scratched that itch for me, and I continue to see it as a game with amazing potential.

@moderators what’s your favorite track and field event?

[Doc]

100 M. Ran that in high school. I was never great – somewhere around 12.5 seconds if I remember right – but I loved sprinting. 400 M is killer…

[Selimmm]

400 M is killer…

I hate all of the long distance runs. I get tired in like 2 seconds xD

[BroooMC]

What clinic do you work at DoctorBill?

[Laserquest]

im the best at mile runs lol

[HGKing]

favorite school subject?

Chemistry.

What was the meaning behind HGTurbo?

It was the other name I was deciding between when I was picking a name. It doesn’t use my IRL nickname and is a more direct reference to our comedic hero.

why are you the only moderator that I see actually playing the game?

I play every couple of weeks for an hour or so, but on a different account.

what’s your favorite track and field event?

Football.

@moderators please reopen this: Connection Problem

The issue is still happeing.

[Doc]

Re-opened the senior thread on the same topic. Realmeye down?

[Mynamerr]

Should rare non-whitebag drops be put in the whitebag-thread?
If no, should there be separate one for those?

[Doc]

What are you thinking? Like mushrooms etc? People wanting to post about white bags are common enough that a megathread is preferred rather than dozens of similar topics a week. If what you’re talking about is super rare then I don’t see having a new thread about it every now and then causing any clutter.

[Niegil]

How about something like

Or a mini stheno, even though it drops in a cyan, it is quite rare.

[Doc]

I’m fine with a new thread for that. But I suspect some people may cry “white bag thread”. I say fire away and we’ll see how it goes.

[XHippobroX]

This is the only thread I made I actually care about at this point

@doc How did you join the forums on the 5th of August when the forums launched on the 16th? Also how come none of the other mods joined on the 5th?

[RMGnoob]

Same as video games: it’s the difference between alpha/beta launch and full public release.
