Hey, I was thinking (this is directed at Luckmann and wintersong mostly, but I guess other could get involved) In honor of the alpha next week, I was thinking we do something special. An avatar swap! The three of us would create special avatars for each other, and we'd wear it a bit while the Alpha is going on. If only one of you is interested, we could just swap between the two of us, or if spartan (or somebody else) wants in we could mix up the exchange.</

only a little funny.

looks like I can't come. I got a contract with THQ so I'm working somewhere now that does not allow for me to randomly move around the country.

Magesty had a olde style map (its so old it has an 'e' on the end) it and the desk upon where it sat was the interface outside of the game.

I remember the mention of creatures you would might play the game for weeks without seeing. I wonder what kind of stuff falls under that catigory. I find it hard to imagine what would work for that. It would need to have quests and such based on it. Some kind of ancient creature that has been chained deep beneath the planet surface, or perhaps a being that has been adrift and frozen in space for millions of years that crashlands and is awoken by the entry of atm

I have little doubt that we will. In fact, its likely the first thing I'm going to created with the mod tools when they are given to me. I assumed it was grouped under "world editor" or "AI editor" because between editing the world, the AI,, and other scripts. You could create a quest system, even if one did not already exist.

But Luckmann, arn't your european phones all awesome anyway? I was under the impression that our 3G phones were "catching up" to what europe already had.

everybody knows eetsmoresqrls is the on responsible, and I don't see how any quest-giver could expect proof otherwise. But then again, the people who take that quest are pretty much F***ed anyway considering they are going into a cave of bear cav.

So apparently twitter is approching WoW for number of deaths in result of use.

Making use of those avatar pictures already! good job I'm shocked at the lack of words "bear", "ursine", or "rawr" in your post though ^_^

Certainly. I would have considered resurecting this thread if we had been given any more information on how the world itself works. Like as it stands, we don't know any more about the situation. We barely have had a look at spells, we don't know how dungeons work into the world on a mechanical level, we don't know about alternate planes. There has not even been the slightest mention of teleportation or ways to move around other than walking. But a

I have a thread going about that one *leers at wintersong*

don't forget that they can "link directly to quests" (boogiebac made sure to bold that part) Thats the part I'm most interested in. Boogiebac confirmed that dungeons will include ruins and things like that, but what kind of quests will be linked to them I wonder? I was kinda hoping for speculation there. another reason I brought it up, is I am trying to figure out a few good questions for Denyu's surveys. I am forming so

you're right Denryu! I remembered the part on the number of technologies and the number of quests, but not the number of spells. fantastic [e digicons]k1[/e] uh... uh.... maybe Frogboy changed his mind >_> (seriously, I should be the one answering others questions. pardon my faulty questioning)

look at the media section paradoxnt: there are several dragon breeds there. I couldn't imagine that they would have the same stats. @pigeonx2: I remember him talking about fantastic creatures in general being a big deal, before dragons were mentioned. But I guess we'll see. (I personally think that Ents would cave to even 1 dragon. But I'm a bigger fan of dragons being the most powerful creatures around. The near i

My most frequently asked questions include: 1. How hard will it be to have more than 1 world at a time? 2. will there be bear cavalry? (and other cavalry) 3. Is there a set goal for the number of spells at launch, and if so what is it? 4. Will good custom user content created during beta be included on the retail disc? 5. what was decided on the whole "Camp 1-4" economic models... thing?

perhaps I should re:edit this video to include the yeti. (and a bear)

Moria! I freaking love that game. Setting Moria as the standard, any kind of texture other than ASCI characters would be an improvement. (I really hope you're not talking about Moria, the dungeon crawling game, rather than Moria from LoTR) @pigeonpigeon: I knew what he ment, but he made a point that anytime you had one on your side was a "big deal". I agree entirely about other opportunities! Any suggestions (other than our local sl

how exactly do you keep up such good speeds. Just good servers? And does it work for other countries as well?

I like the bear cavalry one too! I believe the edges to the dragon frames look fine. (perhaps I'm seeing a later version?) It makes it look pixelated, which tickles my retro-bone.

So, Frogboy says that there will be a large set of creatures. But in previous posts he said that it will be rare for players to have control of non-humans/fallen. So where are all the creatures then? In dungeons of course (or roaming the land I guess) having played a bit of X-com I know that there is room for some pretty creative exploration in those battles. You can walk into alien spaceships and such. I have no doubt that is how the dungeons i

yeah, I'm kinda surprised. I find no problem reading the text, nor do I see how anybody could. I think the light tan color makes a suitable background over something like while. If you really want a white background, go to stardock.com or impulsedriven.net and use its forums. It has access to all of elemental's forums and you should be able to read it better. (or at least it used to give access, it may have been changed)

[quote]That was one of the first tidbits of information we were given about the game, that founding new settlements will require essence. Frogboy also said that there will be some lands that are already habitable but they will be very rare.[/quote] hmmm. I don't recall him saying that directly. Nor can I find it in any early dev posts, would you mind linking that to me? Perhaps I have forgotten information given out back in november (or earlier?). I was und

right here! but seriously, I'm riding on him or something. He doesn't fit in the tiny 100x100 avatar shot for this one XD He'll be back in my avatar by the time the beta comes out (especially if the alpha comes out with no sign of bears and I have to just back on the band wagon.... or should I say, "bear wagon" XD but seriously... a wagon pulled by

Alright, but you had better love me, because I just now went back and re-copied all the pictures to have them in the original resolution to give them to you. (rather than what I scalled down to fit the avatars) Here are the portraits from Master of Magic I used. I had to go make them by ripping them from the game itself, since like Luckmann, I could not find any remotely decent images. (perhaps it will help future searchers) I created Ma
