What drawboard do you use at work?

I don't have one at work. At home I have an ancient 8x10 Calcomp DrawingSlate, of which I'm quite fond.

No, it's always a delightful surprise.

What was the most tragic experience you might have had working on the Matrix Online since it became a part of SOE? Fictional or not.

Perhaps I should have said poetic, not tragic.

I removed my avatar, and now there are no avatar options. I can't upload any avatars at all, for there is no space to do such in my profile.

Why?

Hm... The death of the Watchmaker at the hands of an Agent, while he was surrounded by his redpill friends trying to defend him, was pretty heavy.

How is XP awarded in missions determined? The general unverified opinion is there is an equal amount of XP to be earned in each stage and a minimum amount of time is requried to get full xp. Can you expound upon this?

That's probably about right. I never actually tried looking into the specific formula, and it changed a few times anyway. I asked NoRepro what he remembers about it, and the consensus seems to be a set amount per phase (not counting NPC kills) that scales by player level, and gets reduced if the phase is completed in less than a certain amount of time (NoRepro thought one or two minutes, I thought I remembered it being two, but we're both a little hazy on it).
