Hey! I've recently became addicted to this game: the only problem is the girlfriend wont stop texting me while I play! Instead of ignoring her, I thought I would look into finding a PC client, or maybe an Android emulator so I can run the game on my laptop. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
Turn on airplane mode then play over wifi
They are making a version for the PC.
Awesome! Do you know of a release date?Quote:

However, I guarantee that it already exists and that it works just fine. They write the code on PCs.
The original issue is having a way to text the girlfriend while playing pocket legends.
The solution: Text from your laptop while you play pocket legends from your Android
Download PdaNet from the Android app store.
Install the program for your computer.
Follow the easy directions to set up the program and the app.
once installed and configured, use the mini icon for PdaNet on your computer screen in the bottom tray to access your SMS messages.
(you can read and respond to SMS messages.)
You can also run other apps (like pocket legends) while this runs.
Very interesting. Pocket Legends as a form of contraception.
That's awesome! can't wait, really.Quote:

I Hope they dont make a PC version.. Its a game for mobile or ipod/iPad and thats the way i like it..
I see a lot of people on the boards saying they hope that the game doesn't come to the PC. Some reasons make sense, like opening the game up to botting or hacking, while others seem superficial--PvP suddenly favoring one medium over another.
If done in the right way, I don't think PvP has to worry. If your hotkeys still stay on the physical screen, and you have to click them with a mouse, there's a good chance that your ability will actually be diminished on the PC, because you're trying to take in a mach larger screen, and having to pay attention to what is actually going on in front of you as well. Of course, this is from someone that has only played PvP in many other games, and has yet to try it in PL. Regardless, I don't think it will have as much of an impact on PvP as people fear.
As far as botting and hacking, that will happen one way or another anyway. As long as it is secure to the point where passwords can't be garnered by anything other than stupidity, then hacks will be detected and taken care of, which happens in every single other MMO. I don't think the potential user base should be limited simply because "something bad might happen at some point".
Personally, I would love to be able to play on the PC, and I know a friend of mine would probably start playing if it comes out. Heck, a few more people I know may play as well. In the end, it would only be good for the game in my opinion.
If they DO make PC version, it better be on different server than now. hacker galore, here we go!
The PC version's gonna have to be released at some point, if they want to get this game on the Windows phones. I look forward to that, as I would like to have a better tablet that runs Win, not Android. Of course, that adds $500 to the cost immediately....
IF it ever goes to the PC. Devs have scrapped lots of things out of the picture since they made the statement about going to the pc. So for all we know, it might of been scrapped, also their comments regarding blackstar for PC kinda unofficially states the devs opinion on the PC platform (Avoiding it). But until official word from a dev, it technically is on the list of things they want to do in the future right now.
Also I don't think the statement from the devs was ever official in the first place. If I am correct, someone asked a dev in the chat box and the dev gave an iffy answer, since it wasn't really his jurisdiction to answer that officially.
I think it would be kind of weird on pc. The reason i play it is because its a app and it i don't know alot of app's like this one. If it where to go on PC, STS would have to prepare money for advertisement and other cost. Plus compete with other games such as WOW or Diablo, i never played WOW but i have played Diablo 2 and I'm waiting for Daiblo 3 to come out. Also STS would need to worry, if the PC version doesn't do well enough, then they would need to worry about all the money spent. I think they should just focus on apps on phone first before going enter a new market for STS. They have been doing pretty well on the phone market it would be a shame if they decided too enter the PC world without doing a adequate enough research.

That is why I think the PC idea has been long scrapped.Quote:

Then mobile platform games are excelling, and with STS telling us how the android and apple markets are making them go way above and beyond expectations and them moving blackstar from PC to mobile kinda gives us our answer.
Ah so they scrapped the PC version?Quote:

Like don't take me word for word since I can't find the original quote, but while talking about blackstar, one of the devs mentioned that it was originally a PC platform game, but they moved it to the Mobile Platform. Then when someone asked why they did that, they replied with "We are trying to avoid the PC platform currently".Quote:

You can try to run it on a froyo emulator (faster than a honeycomb emulator).
i think they should hurry up and make it for pc cuz itz to small on my ipod
i 100% agree, this game would be best if its known for moblie gamingQuote:

Nuh uh!!! awesome!
if they have it on android, its easy to have it for linux and for anyone with a pc that means free as linux is free and pretty easy to set up your pc as a duel boot system, the linux flavor of your choice will have instructions for setting it up. and its pretty easy to use.
as for the game software cost may be dependant on the developer.
I would prefer if they avoided a PC version as well, due to hacking/botting issues. However, I suppose if they put the PC version on another server, with the players in a different world, possibly allowing accounts to choose which world they want to create their character in, that might be the best option for a PC version. Hacking/botting then would not affect our mobile world.
Your girlfriend will hate you :)
Have you thought of asking your gf to play? My bf was interrupting my gameplay with calls and text messages. I got him to play so now he can just talk to me over friend messaging or the chat function. SO MUCH EASIER! :)Quote:

Im thinking they probs will bring a MAC version because PL started off as a ipod iphone ipad game :) :P
I think they said it would eventually be a PC/MAC client.
I dabbled trying to get is to run on an Emulator. Started running a 2.2 Froyo version & the lag was unbearable. Moved onto 3.1 Honeycomb & still the same thing. Neither of the emulators ran very well at all. It was not due to computer specs either, I can tell you that much.
