What did you make of the "US only, go away rest of the world" rule in the ad competition?

Walrus said that it was something to do with giving away prizes--that Legal and Marketing have reasons for steering clear of sending prizes overseas, or something. I don't really know. Walrus said that when we do this again we'll just skip the material prizes so that we don't have to have that kind of restriction on entries, because it sucks.

Did you know that LESIG used the Drop Point? :O

You mean theres a 7 page argument because of the prizes couldnt be sent oversea, phh im with you PBlade they were too tight to pay for P&P lol. Dont you think you should have said that earlier, because this is just a guess, but some european people would just like to submit there ad without any reward, to see their art in game would be a prize in its self?

Ah, cool!

I haven't had anyone try it on me, yet, as far as I've noticed, but I have had a surprising number of the new prop items offered to Live Events characters already.

How many different versions of each org area are there?

**LtCmdr_Tsusai**

I got an interesting one for you Rarebit......one that confuses some of the people I know and myself.

If the org areas are made to be for factions...and lets say an entire faction is more than 6 people...

Obviously we're going to invite kick invite to get the other members inside to fullfill the true purpose of these places. How are we protected against certain CSRs that shall not be named from irrationally flipping out about exploits.

Have you ever thought about making certain neighborhoods or buildings in other districts than Richland the definite location for a mission arc, or phase, to include their city content into the storyline, just as with Richland in the past?
I know, the lowbies. However, I guess it was also difficult for some to run to Camon Heights or Kedemoth back then, and I think having a special mission in a purple-conned area would be quite interesting for lower levels aswell.

Good to know. I hope it's like that from here on out--Furthermore, why not in-game prizes? those would serve well enough too.

Sounds good to me. SMILEY

Though I'm also a fan of free T-shirts and the like...

Looks like maybe

Machine 5
Merv 17
Zion 5

although a few of those could be duplicates, and a few (particularly for Machines and Zion) might have minor variants that I didn't notice.

Did you have fun tallying the damage on Vector tonight? lol

Ghostwise

Are there any easter eggs in game that you know of and players haven't discovered yet?(Unlikely but still.)

You know like secret locations or / commands. For example in Everquest II there is a /cutemode command that gives everyone crazy big deformed anime heads. SMILEY

Oy! I really should beg Dracomet to make me a leet script that would do that for me. Hm I suppose I could do one in Perl... Eh. Anyway yeah, that was a ridiculously long battle. I started with the Health Regen amount that was just a smidge above what it was on the level 70 Unlimit Reactor who got killed on Syntax last week, and then I kept nudging it down... I was afraid that if I lowered it too drastically, Phinney would suddenly get pwned before I could do anything, which wouldn't be all that interesting. But for some reason I had to lower it to just over a third of what it was on Syntax, so...it took me a while to work it down that low. What was weird too was that it would seem to be okay--operatives would get her down to half health or so--but then she'd come back strong, and the regen would just heal her back up to full. So obviously I have a ways to go before I get good at finding a fast way to get a good regen level set for these battles.

Any progress on the reputation/ org hopping front? I remember you mentioning a meeting where there was talk about losing a ton of rep for changing orgs by jumping ships and whatnot

Yeah, I think Dracomet kind of pounced on that one and took care of it. I don't know if QA has gone over it yet.
