Back in the Game again

[Benjiboy]

I have finally sorted out a desktop that will let me play MyWorld again, (aside to Ravey - if you now have the rights to it can we go back to the old name, please? I liked it a whole lot better ;-))
Sadly it's Win 10 so on past experience it'll likely go t***-up again.
I have been unable to get a valid Win7 disk and key anywhere >:(
However, I can play again so I'll start by playing all the latest submissions and opinionating on them ;-)

Yay! Great to hear you're back in the game. Can't wait to hear more from you, especially when you start building submissions. :p

Yay! Welcome back BB.

If you really want to 'opinionate' other peoples' work, have you thought of setting up a wordpress blog and having a reviews section? It's pretty easy to do now - and way better to highligh individual pieces than trawling through 800 items on steam workshop to find an opinion.

If you set one up, I'd be happy to contribute some written content to it.

...and yes, a reversion of the title to the more personal and inviting 'My World' would be welcome.

wb Benji! I must admit I prefered MyWorld also, but it was so much work to change names, not sure I want to go through that again...just yet.

'twould confuse the punters for sure :)

I tend to agree that the original name had more charm and simplicity. When the rebranding occurred it felt like an attempt at generic keyword promotion ("RPG", "Action", "RPG Maker") similar to other TGC Products ("App Game Kit" "Easy Game Maker" etc.).

The bigger issue is "RPG World" already exists across many different subjects and this one can easily get lost in the mix. There is a popular web comic with the same title that is more prominent in search results. There's another unrelated game "RPG World Online" and many blogs and communities that share the title just to discuss different RPG games. Then again I think MyWorld suffered the same issues due to shared name with many other products out there including a Justin Bieber album.

I said it probably wouldn't last didn't I?
It didn't.
Win 10 wouldn't start this morning and I had to do a full recovery, (at least this time it did recover - a *very* small mercy).
So, until I get a stable Win 7 installation up and running I'll not be wasting any more time playing games.
Grrrrr.
Give me a room full of Microsoft developers, a hammer and some wooden wedges and I'll spend a happy fortnight upgrading their kneecaps.

D:

My laptop runs RPG World just fine with Win 10 (not that I do with 35 degrees Celsius outside holy moly). Is it something laptop specific?

[Benjiboy]

Nah. This was a purpose built gaming desktop. Something to do, I suspect, with having a mix of UEFI and legacy disk drives installed. It seems to happen after Win10 does an update. I was speaking to a friend earlier today who has a Win10 desktop and who, unlike me, does not mess about installing lots of software. Her pc has had to have 3 reinstalls in the past couple of months - so maybe it's a UEFI problem.

I found the best HP laptop available that still ran 7. Then spent days telling it I didnt want to update. Yes microsoft, I am sure I want your last most stable OS.

I didnt like the name change either, but character progression cusioned the blow. F2P didnt bother me at all thou. The money I spent was well earned. I have one DLC unowned, so you still have more comming at some point.
