I really enjoy those short RPGs (especially before someone thought of save/load system or in wc3RoC or starcraft xP) mainly cause I don't have to type of those saving/loading codes, and I dont' spend too much time leveling up on same place/enemies, but it seems like most people prefer RPGs like Definace RPG - where you can save and you gotta level up for a while to beat it.

I'm working on RPG which is designed to be able to be beaten in 2~3 hours.
but it seems like these short RPGs aren't that popular :p anyways, let me know what you like
 
Like Many Maps people usually don't mind if its short or long, it depends more on whether its made good or not, Personally I like long RPG's like defiance with dungeons etc. where you can never really "beat" the game. The main problemwith save/load IMO is the bugs and such like putting your insanely long code in then it not working so you have to make a new guy, or if you type your code in wrong than you have to type it out again. Short RPG's are good to but there is always the guy who takes all the items and ruins the game for others
in the end it does come down to how well made it is to
 
Just so you know, if you play about 3 hours with a whole group of people in Defiance ORPG you will probably get to level 80 if no one leaves. By the way whats your Rpg about?
 
All the different dungeons and such are fun in defiance which is good, but it does get boring after a while
Any screenshots of your rpg available yet?

For your save load code problem you make a screen shot of it, type it in notepad and copy it and paste it into the game when playing. many people do that and its way faster.
 
Shorty for online games.
Long (extremely huge enormous full of campaign maps and thousands of stuff) on offline and solo RPGs.

:shades:
 
I like longer versions of the shorter RPGs, in the sense that you can't beat them in one day but you don't spend hours in one area either. Somewhat like the Orc TFT campaign, that thing was epic, someone should re-create it for a different story!
 
The lenght of an RPG doesn't matter imo. The important thing is wether you can keep the fun or if it gets lost after 1 hour of playing. I personally prefer short once because long ones usually get all about farming and the enemies are boring and repetive (such as defiance RPG).
 
IMO is always Better Longer Rpg.I love to save and then in morning load with new group!:thup:
 
The best rpgs have unique quests & has spells & items to look forward to getting, diversified classes & balance are really needed too
 
i personally love the longer ones. that prove more of a challenge. and who doesn't like savin and loadin haha

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
