Modern technology introducing the ancient art of counting...

Old things never die

Sweet thread... I'm going to be watching this one.
You know, LS on phones may bring quite a many ppl to this game if Paul releases it as a free App in places that you obviously still need to login to play. That could be a crapload of free advertisement.

Uhhhm... ye... but!

I guess it won't happen coz the system of this game.
To playing with LS you need to be registered to this site and to play you need some fg, at least some, 10 or so. You start to play with a "rusted sword", so if ppl just try it and never heard about it before will give up very soon because at start it will be so slow and boring. :/

If an App coming would be the best if you can start a very low started gear (i mean tier III items with minor adds - depends on your character class), they couldn't be sellable ofc, but make easier to reach lvl10 at least. And if ppl just see this game fun they will ask about how can they get better gear or how can get fg for buying better equipment. To app more informations need to be enclosed for newcomers.

I don't say that making LS public on that way is impossible, but would be very hard and need a little change in the system (especially @ start).

some more mp slots would be great ^^

Agreed

If LS had an app, those 1 per week "help me I'm new threads" would increase to 20+ per day

An app would be sweet, but I think I would start avoiding the LS forum lol

Not unlikely ... but this could be addressed with some in-game tutorials, like what you see in most mobile app games.

The game really isn't super complex, so some pointers in the beginning would go a long way.

Imagine leading a group on a phone.
I think if ls could be an app, Paul must think of a way new gameplay and design.

Making it an app pretty much ensures Paul would have to constantly update things, maybe even get help more often from CTaulborg or anyone else who is capable of helping him.

I'm pretty sure the biggest road block in making LS that large scale is Paul himself knows how much extra effort it would take.

I'm 99% sure his vision of his game is those mainly tied into his website. Honestly, what would get more people into this game isn't it's perfectly playable on mobile or make it an App but rather the game evolves past its simple flash simplicity and maybe becomes a bit more complex and dynamic. The simplicity of the game in the past is pretty nostalgic but it's pretty clear that's done with and more dynamic and more detailed things in the game is what would really interest me.

The Thunderdome suggestion was mainly the idea behind that. Content that is beyond climbing 1-71 and mqing, stuff that is challenging and engaging in a late game environment and have a system in place where having the gear to do such content can be found and built upon through the game and not have to rely on obtaining fg outside of the game so buy items that is deemed strong. Muting in its current state is too grindy and the RNG tied into drops is too severe and even if a good drop does drop, if you are in a group. You got to win a dice roll.
