EA-Land
Posted in Gaming by Harley
They’re making major improvements to The Sims Online. Actually they’re pretty much fixing all the problems that they had with it. I got an email this morning saying ‘come and try it out’ so of course.. now I’m downloading it. 12% done. When I first signed up for TSO I thought it was rather nifty, and spent many an hour building houses and stores. The biggest problem was that there was never anyone online, so the shop didn’t do very well and I got bored of hanging around not talking to anyone. Alphaville was quite busy but since most people were AFK and the place was so big, no-one went wandering around so it was quite depressing.
The other problem I kept hearing about was that it was so easy to get money. People were literally throwing it away and whenever I created a character I was bound to get a lot of dosh from someone. In this new EA-Land they say it’s basically starting from scratch and with a new economy.. and.. CUSTOM OBJECTS! Yayyyy.. I can finally make my Pete Steele picture and stick it on my wall. They will also have some scripting objects and people who create custom stuff can make real dosh from it. So… I’m gonna go have a look and see what’s what. There has to be some reason I learnt to skin and create objects.. there just has to be a reason other than my ability to faff around and waste time doing things no-one appreciates :)
