How to avoid burn out in any game - Ryzom in particular!

[micrix]

Some very disgusting marketing there, about the theft of software. So much for ms being helpfull for free.

woot or \o/ is more commonly used as a cry of fun, like jippee. We Own the Other Team. Bah, says dogbert.

Two day a go i delivered a MQL 70 armor and a MQL 40 2H sword to matis. The player told me: m8 u r a d00d

Hopefully this was an expression of happines

i think the easist way to avoid burn out in Ryzom is simple,

unlike most games you can multi-skill, i recently talked my best friend into harvesting, which he'd never really liked the idea of much. But now we're totlely addicted to it where before we found outselfs grining out a few lvls of melee as often as possible, i think the trick is just to know when you find yourself lulling a bit, and do something about it, start a new skill, lvl a different skill.

Its never about who is the strongist or the fastist to get to the lvl its about spending time with all your friends and having a laugh like it should be


For Harvesting and crafting just try changeing the mp3's you normally listen to (i know it sounds simply but it really works)

For fighting and casting go some place new and group with new people and team new people into the group you normaly team with, Talk to other guilds. Get to know people out of your normal spectrum. Group with old friends more often and make them friends not just people you havent spoken to in a while.

Remeber its a game, if you get mad or upset dont take it out on each other log out, play cards or go get a cup of coffee or tea (or hot chocolate for kibs and other ppl who dont drink coffee and tea) calm down, chill out and log back in Harsh words from you can spoil the game for someone else, and at the end of the day we all have some thing in common, we all love the game and we wanna have fun playing it

anyway just a few thought on how i avoid burn out

Could you please translate this: WTF!!11 STFU, I PWNZ YOU!!111one
I did get the meaning but do not understand really.

The first two parts (WTF and STFU) aren't 1337 (or leet) speak. They are just regularly used gaming acronyms. WTF stands for "What the ****" and is usually formed as a question, analogous to "What happened?". STFU stands for "Shut The **** Up", analogous to "Shhhh!".

The last phrase "I PWNZ YOU" is also written as "I OWNZ YOU" which provides clearer meaning. "Owning" someone online is when you have severely beaten them in some manner, such as during a duel or competition.

The piece in the text which stands out for me is the punctuation at the end. "!!111" is a common mistake by users of the leet grammar set, spawning from not pressing the Shift key when attempting to place multiple exclamation marks at the end of a sentence. I use the term sentence in a vague manner here to describe the partially recognisable phrases used above. While the use of the number 1 is a common mistake the use of the word "one" at the very end of the punctuation suggests that the person who wrote the sentence understands that leet is an inherently silly text style and wishes to alert the reader to the fact that they are merely mocking it or using it for effect.
