Pragma: Hehe I just picked up that book (Programming RPG's with DirectX) and spent the last day skimming it, as I don't have time to dive into making a full game right now. It's got a lot of good pointers and examples in there and just the section on how to do a design document( basicly if you have an idea for a game and want to pitch it) was a really interesting read. There's a few more books in this *** with DirectX series, I know 1 covers a lot of 3D effects and the fancy real time graphics.
I was thinking of getting that book, or maybe the other called "isometric game programming with directX 7.0" because I wanted to make a rpg with a isometric view (kinda like ff tactics) but.... I guess maybe I need both. 
Now, the problem is:
a) they are expensive (alot I might add)
b) i cant find them in any bookstore so I must count on the internet to order them
c) in direct consequence of a and b, shipping orders from usa trough amazon cost enough to work in slavery for the next months (either that or sell a lung......).
so....anyone know of a decent (european) site with the possibility of containing any of these books? 
thanks in advance.
*goes to sell lung*

Ha, if you think that's expensive, you should see my textbook recipts.
College == slavery; //in some way form or fashion
...if you are a college student, you can get your bookstore to order them for up to 40% off, or you can pay for them with unsubstidized student loans and government allowences.
As for the anarchy part; yah, I know this site's more or less dead, but I still come here for some good chat, I don't see people spamming.

the idea about making this site about wut ur interested in now is great... and leave a lil section for us ragnarok folks.... =D
Just put a few trusted people in charge wen ur away..... theyll manage the forum....
my post count maybe low... but i always thought you were one of the few well-known people that has actually been nice to the ro community... i mean... youre goodbye alone beats joethedude and watashiwas goodbyes..... =D
at least you didnt make a page full of cuss words saying youre leaving... thats good enuff fo me.... a large part of the ro community will miss you... but i guess this is all your decision... you can always come back to this lil part of the forums and say hello...
Peace!

Well if you don't like the game anymore, and the community is even worse, then you're probably better off taking the site down. For me, I stick around 'cause I like the game...the community and the politics of said community make me quite nauseous, and I wish both would improve, but so far that hasn't happened. I'm hoping that beta2 DOES come out this month...of course, the community opinion is probably "Hah! Yeah right! They don't care!"...bunch of morons in the community since beta1 began...I hardly expect this trend to change anytime soon; after all, all companies worldwide are soulless, greedy, blood-sucking evil empires, right?

Ok...Im probably too much behind time for this...Im new too...But hey! If Ragnarok is really disturbing you, Sasami, And you dont have much time to focus on the forums/website, you could like it is mentionned by...forgot who... before, and just put the ragnarok part...one of the subjecs of the web page! If no one understand what i mean...I wont blame...Since when i was small, no one understands what i say, my feelings.If you really want to close the forums, but please dont close the site! If this site is gone...what do i do when im stuck??Stupid gravity dont think alot of us! I sended about 3 emails to gravity to get me IN the map.And i stupidly waited 2weeks, but im still stuck! Gravity cares most about their people, people of their country...(thats my opinion on them).Anyways, so i whent on my merchant and found this guy...forgot his name again! then he told me about this site...i tryed the "warptosave" and...i got my character back normal in just 5minutes!(cause i didnt know how to activate the program^^") Its a big help! Waiting for gravity to fix the stuffs is just stupid! they'll make you wait for a month until they remmember that you are stuck. So please...Keep the site + forum.

Ragnarok definately has not been my best experience with an online game or a game company. I understand your hatred for RO. I spend more time being disgusted with it lately then anything. The only reason I really play anymore is because I still have a few good friends on it. Daishi man, that's cool of you to offer to stay as mod. Honour is a rare trait these days. AzN pride and all that lol.
