we need 8 people for this thing to work, so we're going to have to come back later, with more.

I suggest we put it in the evnts section on the GameTap site, and ask for more people?

You can always reply to be more specific than the poll is.

Sunday would be best for me. Possibly very late tomorrow, but then it'll probably be too late to get much done in the game anyway.

Dunno, Garden Ages aren't that big, really. Most time would be spent on RP, solving some stuff, speculating in more RP, etc, I guess.

Anyway, I'll make a poll.

Ok, so we gather, have your 'hood char invite everyone, then have one of those invite your regular char, then head out to Delin?

Then it's just a question of when.

Something that may require a bit of OOC coordination:

Exploring the newly opened Age (Delin) with a group.

If you think it's bad to organise it OOC-ly, please say so.

1. This film title is taken from a book, however much of the plot belongs to which other book?

2. What is the (I think) brilliant pun in this film?

3. This film was the first ever to be filmed in...where?

3. What is the link to the Lord of the Rings?

Sorry, I have to run, so I'll try and make the image bigger later.

1. The Far Side of the World.

2. I'm going to guess the "lesser of two weevils" pun.

3. The Galapagos Islands? But not all of it was filmed there...

4. Pippin. Or, his actor.

A whole bunch of new emotes have been added after yesterday's update.
I just pasted the list right after the old one, so a few of them might be in there twice now.

It looks like we now have a great variety of emotes, much better suited for RP than the limited amount we had before!

URU has received its first major update!
Lots of things have been changed and added, and some things have been fixed.
I'll add the list of fixes here publically, and the list of changed things in spoiler tags, for those of you who don't want to see it.

We can list any other upcoming updates in here as well.

Shorah Explorers!

Update live 2 is upon us.

The cavern continues to breathe: new areas of the city and neighborhoods have opened and will continue to. Those in charge (the DRC) are making almost daily appearances (some bigger than others) and more and more visitors are arriving every day. It's good to see the D'ni cavern filled with explorers, talking about the new sights and sounds, and wondering what controversy or debate is brewing inside of the meetings of Cate and the Restoration Council. With a new update we look to release some fresh Ages, further sections of the city, as well as few new mysterious features that might take a little more exploration to find. Let's all keep D'ni going...


Fixes for this update:
Superjump has been partially addressed. Gravity has been restored on the Tokotah Rooftop.

Credits journal has been removed from the storyline. You can still view the credits via the options menu. .

Bahro wedge appears only after successfully sending the Bahro pole to Relto.

Relto/Relto bug has been fixed, All KI messages should now report the correct owners Relto when being viewed.

Crash related to exiting the game has been addressed.

Crashes related to footstep sounds have been fixed.

Duplicate neighborhood names fixed.

Partial fix for the Hood public/private issue - the Nexus will no longer incorrectly report your Hood as private if it doesn't appear on the public hood list.

Teledahn: Fixed the pesky stackdumps that were occurring all over the metal walkway

Teledahn: Fix for the stackdump that occurred exiting the slave caves onto the wooden pathway

Eder Kemo: Fix for an intermittently occurring stack dump

Crash to desktop when jumping off the chasm in Relto has been fixed.

... like the shiny sparklie in Gahreesen! It tantalizes me. Since Teledahn also got a big update, I crawled all over it looking for another sparklie, but no dice.

Anyway. I'm trying to confirm this with other people, but after obtaining the sparklie's 'lantern' gift, does it also add a new bit of line to your spiral walk on Relto? I thought it did, but I can't remember for sure if that line was there before or not.

So SOMETHING is definitely going on, and judging by the sun sigil underneath the sparklie... hm. Well, okay, I have no idea what the signifiance of it is, other than that it's NEW NEW NEW, ENTIRELY NEW! Hooray for new stuff that's new for everyone!

Thoughts? Speculation?

Imp needed to get the rest of his cloths since he had been away for a few days. We linked to my Gahreesen and as we ran around the big building... Lo and Behold! New thing!


*bingle*

Show hidden text

Laxman in Ae'gura followed by the Great Zero Observation. Let finding markers commence!

Yeesha Great Zero book? Did Cyan mess up/be lazy? Or is Yeesha really giving us access to the Great Zero? Or did the DRC ranscak all of their Reltoes to spread the Great Zero book about?

I'll head back to a populated Bevin and double check just to be sure though.

The new emotes are fantastic too, and there are so many of them! Awesome.

saw Laxman was in the City though couldn't make it in myself... YAY GREAT ZERO!! Hip hip hooray!

for now, I would say:

maybe field science and lab science devisions? The science stuffies as described would be the same, but they'd have two parts to them? If that's even possible.

And for medical skills, either stemming the bleeding (so to speak) or cutting people open, seems like we're missing something. Like: analysing symptoms and administering medication, to cure a disease. Seems a bit drastic to have to perform surgery to cure everything...

By the way, I never quite figured out where the floatbeds were supposed to be. In the floatbed chambers, yes, but I never saw any doors or tanks or anything there. And how did all our hundreds of floatbeds fit into those two little rooms?

I think those were just the chambers that the beds came out into. The holes in those chambers were where a floatbed would be lowered so the person could get out, I guess. There was this whole drawing/diagram of it in the concept art. You could see there both what a floatbed looked like and how it fitted into the Tower, I think.

If you don't mind a bit of OOC-ness to meet people, our 'hood is so bugged, very unlikely to become public, so we could just send you a personal invite if you tell one of us your KI number.

You can also try visiting the Institution Bevin and the In Cavern Explorers Bevin, those have no problems staying public, so you should find them in the Nexus list, and you can also see there if there are currently any people in it.

Besides that, the A Beginner's Bevin is the sort of official Bevin for ResEngs (Cyan employees, their IC name), and they will talk to you IC, explain about the DRC IC.

So, we had a conversation about IRC RP, Seed-like, and so on. And this is it. I don't want to, nor can I at the moment (tired), recap it all and make some sort of sensible point out of it. So here it is and you can all see for yourselves!

[06:41] [Norah] so is that IRC thing going to be a sequel where Seed left off?
[06:41] [Norah] it was an IRC thing, right?
[06:42] [Darkhawk] yes and.. yes
[06:42] [Darkhawk] I think so
[06:42] [Darkhawk] not where it left off as such though
[06:42] [Darkhawk] because Kryigerof doesn't like the real ending wink
[06:43] [Darkhawk] which is fair enough, he doesn't think he or so many others would blibdly have gone to the floatbeds
[06:43] [Norah] because then I'll be pissed at missing actual Seed RP
[06:43] [Darkhawk] That's.. nice
[06:43] [Norah] now I have to be torn between either missing out on Seed story, or having to play a text MMO, which I think sucks
[06:44] *** Norah is not happy
[06:44] [Darkhawk] uh.. oh?
[06:45] [Norah] missing Seed, having to play text. bad choices all around
[06:45] [Darkhawk] It's not the real Seed? Or.. Text is not that bad, really.. Having good fun with a barroom brawl here
[06:45] [Norah] well, if it's going to continue with the real story and all the old chars, it's the real seed, because the chars made the seed tongue
[06:46] [Darkhawk] I think it'll be new chars
[06:46] [Norah] oh ok
[06:46] [Norah] in that case I might be able to stand missing out on it
[06:46] [Darkhawk] Maybe moved to another period of time.
[06:46] [Darkhawk] Yeah, I wouldn't want to play Arash without the trio around if possible
[06:46] [Norah] although the idea of picking it up again is really tempting
[06:46] *** Norah imagines Norah waking up from the 'beds
[06:46] [Norah] err, that looks werid
[06:47] [Norah] weird too
[06:47] [Norah] If it -were- all the old chars, even in a different time period, I doubt I could not play it[06:48] [Darkhawk] hrm, it's not decided yet really
[06:48] [Darkhawk] will depend on players too
[06:48] [Norah] ugh. stop wasting energy would mean no more internet and MMO gaming. My life would be over. Yet I'm environmentally concerned.
[06:48] *** Norah is torn inside
[06:49] [Norah] now there's a big bleeding gap of anguish either way
[06:49] [Norah] either direction I mean
[06:49] [Norah] but either way is right as well
[06:50] [Norah] I'll live until it's over. and game until it's over too tongue. If I have kids they can deal with the mess. But then again that's the whole mentality that got us in the mess in the first place
[06:51] [Norah] then again it may be better if I never have children anyway. I can pass on too much hayfever. and general... non-NTerness
[06:52] [Norah] ok, on to the next part of the logs!
[06:53] [Norah] So, let me know if that Seed thing is going to be with the original chars. Because I already know I wouldn't be able to not play then, anyway[06:53] [Darkhawk] woah, can't keep up with you wink
[06:54] [Norah] so what's new? tongue
[06:54] [Norah] wheee, I made a comment at the right time and not minutes late!
[06:54] [Darkhawk] harh, witty today eh.. Too much caffeine
[06:54] [Norah] applejuice
[06:55] [Norah] OMG Captain Planet! I forgot that used to even exist
[06:56] [Norah] But I think I liked Ring Raiders better. At least i still remember that without someone having to mention it, so I guess it made more of an impression
[06:57] [Darkhawk] If enough of us want it with the original chars, it could be interesting. But I don't know if that's acceptable[06:57] [Norah] SS is a kind of weird abbreviation for a game to use, by the way.
[06:57] [Darkhawk] oh yes wink
[06:58] [Norah] Well, I'm not saying I want that. because that would mean I need to do text RP. But I do want it, in theory, and if the text RP was with the original chars, I would have to play, no way would I miss out on that
[06:58] [Norah] so it probably -would- be a sure-fire way to gain more players

[06:58] [Darkhawk] yes, that's what I'm thinking[06:58] [Darkhawk] it won't be the same anyway. Only a few hours a week
[06:59] [Norah] what!?
[06:59] [Darkhawk] wink
[06:59] *** Norah 's mind is slowly going for meltdown
[06:59] [Darkhawk] that's how you play RP sessions normally
[06:59] [Norah] first a chance, but no certainty, of the original chars, and then.... if it happens, only a few hours a week? How would I live with that!?
[06:59] [Norah] jeez
[07:00] [Norah] that sucks, if I can be rude, blunt, and unsubtle
[07:00] [Norah] not that I wouldn't be anyway
[07:01] [Darkhawk] Yes, I think you got it across wink
[07:01] [Darkhawk] How about you put in your opinions in that IRC thread? Instead of me being the messenger?
[07:02] [Norah] copy/paste?

Hm I see your point. The real question is if our general forum isnt simply mean to be used for this kind of thing as well? When speaking of rp (in this community) it is often releated to a specific game... daedalus isnt...but often! smile

The general forum?
Which one is that?
We have a forum about the forum and site, a forum about the community, forums about various games and one for the rest of the games, an off-topic forum, and some forums about Seed...

I lately posted the thread about the Daedalus Project, and thought that the forum it;s in isn't exactly right for it, but that there wasn't really any other forum here where it would fit better.

Then I thought it might have looked good on a forum dedicated to RP in general, where we would talk actually about RP as a thing, not just connected to any one game...
Then I thought an RP community should certainly have a forum like that, even if my thread doesn't fit in there tongue.

So here's a request (and poll, because I like polls!) for a forum about RP.
I don't know any special Seed-related name for it right now, but maybe someone else does...

Well, there is also some page where you can enter your own events on the URU Live site, yes.
That would be nice if we would like it to be totally public and known in advance and want many people to attend, perhaps. So I'll edit my first post to include the link as well.

Seems the issue has finally been solved.
If I understood correctly, people who sign up will now receive an email that tells them what to do to start playing the game, and it works. I read that someone was now downloading the game.

If you don't get an email you might need to sign up again:   http://www.mystonline.com/email.html

If you want to make known an event, or organise one, here's a thread for it.
(probably we'll want to keep organising events and such as IC as possible, but there's often some OOC part for a lot of events, checking what times everyone is available and such...)

If we want, we can also enter events here, to make them public and visible for a lot more people:  http://www.mystonline.com/ingame.html

Looks like i know what to spend the next few hours on...explore that site big_smile

hah, you found my comment tongue.
I don't have a name registered there though so I make comments on several games with the nicks that are appropriate for said games tongue.

I also made a suggestion for an upcoming research project, but abut a 1000 people did, so who knows if it will ever happen big_smile.

It's a series of studies into anything to do with MMOs (and gaming in general a little bit too).
So, it's also already covered some aspects of RP, and such.
In any case, there have been a lot of interesting articles.
You can participate in surveys too (if you want).

(and I didn't really know where to put it. Technically it's not a game, but it's about games, and it didn't feel right putting it in offtopic alongside a recipe thread and what music we're listening to, for instance tongue.)
