(03/07 03:52:28) JStaub: I thought Eleri was from Portland? I could be wrong. I'm over here in Spokane (Mead, actually)
(03/07 03:52:30) Jorday: darn, where do you live?
(03/07 03:52:32) Lyn'ea La'Zarrus: Brrrr

(03/07 03:52:47) JStaub: I lived in Seattle for a while however...for school (UW)
(03/07 03:52:57) Kedry: So, Mr. Staub, which of the new ages is your favorite?
(03/07 03:52:59) DargusKelen: :) Seattlites are just the people smart enough to play a game like this :)
(03/07 03:53:00) Kon'Dor: Near Ottawa in Canada. WInd is blowing about 50 mph last night so big windchill
(03/07 03:53:15) JStaub: Yikes...me no likey

(03/07 03:54:09) Kedry: Hm.
(03/07 03:54:22) JStaub: Have you been to the Florida Film Festival expletive? At the - dang, I can't remember the theater
(03/07 03:54:31) JStaub: Actually, I think it's technically in Maintland
(03/07 03:55:03) Stephen C. waves hello
(03/07 03:55:09) Kedry: Can you comment on the creation of any of the ages?
(03/07 03:55:13) Kon'Dor: Bike Week in Daytona right now.
(03/07 03:55:20) Louis Timme: Ick, waaayy too warm, 90F!!!
(03/07 03:55:20) JStaub: Which ones? What would you like to know?
(03/07 03:55:23) Stephen C.: hi to anyone new that came in and welcome
(03/07 03:55:55) Kedry: How about Eder Tsogal?
(03/07 03:56:12) JStaub: What would you like to know about it?
(03/07 03:56:13) Kon'Dor: Orientation / information lecture in Beginner's Bevin starts in about 3 minutes for anyone interested
(03/07 03:56:21) Kedry: The lighting, actually.
(03/07 03:56:39) JStaub: Ah, you like the look of Tsogal?
(03/07 03:56:54) Kedry: Yup.
(03/07 03:56:54) JStaub: I particularly like the little dandelion floaty guys
(03/07 03:56:59) JStaub: :)
(03/07 03:57:07) Kedry: The ones that make people /sneeze? :P
(03/07 03:57:16) Lyn'ea La'Zarrus sneezes
(03/07 03:57:21) DargusKelen: Is there anyone here who still needs to go through Tsogal?
(03/07 03:57:40) Awinita: i do
(03/07 03:57:43) DargusKelen: or wants, it could be wants to go though it
(03/07 03:57:46) Louis Timme: Yes
(03/07 03:57:48) JStaub: One thing that might be interesting (very OOC), is that the snow version of Eder was actually a happy accident of sorts
(03/07 03:57:55) charmed: i do
(03/07 03:57:56) Kedry: Really?
(03/07 03:57:57) Famous Jemez (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(03/07 03:57:58) JStaub: Eder Delin that is
(03/07 03:58:01) JStaub: Yeah
(03/07 03:58:05) Kedry: How so?
(03/07 03:58:06) Famous Jemez (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(03/07 03:58:11) Kedry: The infamous snow bug? :P
(03/07 03:58:44) Kon'Dor: genetically linked to the equally common ice fleas
(03/07 03:58:44) JStaub: Well, by accident one of the textures was missing from our nightly build of the ages...and the "non-texture" appeared white/grey
(03/07 03:59:08) Kon'Dor: 8 is best
(03/07 03:59:15) JStaub: And it looked just like snow...so we figured - let's feature it!
(03/07 03:59:19) Kedry: Hehe
(03/07 03:59:24) Kon'Dor: Shorah IPO
(03/07 03:59:37) IPO waves hello
(03/07 03:59:39) Kedry: Fall...winter...will Delin ever go Spring?
(03/07 03:59:54) JStaub: So we made a specifically snowy version...I really like the way it feels (both snowy and non snowy)
(03/07 04:00:00) IPO: how is everyone tonight?
(03/07 04:00:03) Lial: yes, will summer return to Eder Delin?
(03/07 04:00:08) Kon'Dor: Great thanks and you?
(03/07 04:00:22) Kedry: I like all the birds in Eder Delin.
(03/07 04:00:23) IPO: good !!
(03/07 04:00:43) JStaub: Uh, I won't say no, but...not at this time :)
(03/07 04:01:04) JStaub: we don't have plans for it right now
(03/07 04:01:08) Kedry: Oh, great. That's not gonna reduce the speculation one bit. :P
(03/07 04:01:10) Lial: Do you think we'll ever be able to travel to other locations on Eder Tsogal?
(03/07 04:01:26) Lial: Go to the mountains, for example?
(03/07 04:01:31) JStaub: would you like to?
(03/07 04:01:35) Kedry nods his head
(03/07 04:01:50) Kon'Dor: I can go roll in the snow of Delin to cool off the frustration of Negilahn.....lol
(03/07 04:01:52) Kedry: From what I know, there are a few people who have been wanting to see more of Tsogal.
(03/07 04:01:54) Lial: I guess the simple answer is that we want to go everywhere :)
(03/07 04:01:56) JStaub: I'll make a note of it :) Right now there are no plans for that however
(03/07 04:02:00) Kedry: Ok.
(03/07 04:02:10) JStaub: Yeah, I would like to see more of everything myself
(03/07 04:02:15) JStaub: LOL
(03/07 04:02:15) 2jojo: im off got to get some sleep 4 am here yawn!!
(03/07 04:02:22) JStaub: Goodnight Zjojo!
(03/07 04:02:22) Kedry: Oh, one thing a lot of people are saying is that Delin and Tsogal are just mirrors of Kemo, is this true?
(03/07 04:02:25) Kon'Dor: G'nite 2jojo
(03/07 04:02:27) Lial: good night, jojo
(03/07 04:02:28) Kedry: G'night
(03/07 04:02:37) 2jojo: night
(03/07 04:02:47) JStaub: Not really mirrors no...for one thing they're considerably smaller...about half the size in reality
(03/07 04:02:51) Famous Jemez: not true
(03/07 04:03:06) Kedry: Yes, but they say mirrors of specific parts of the ages.
(03/07 04:03:07) Louis Timme: Kemo is horseshoe shaped.
(03/07 04:03:12) Famous Jemez: Tsogal isreally runty
(03/07 04:03:24) Kedry: Like Delin is the mid-part with the Brain trees and floating stone.
(03/07 04:03:45) JStaub: they share some similarities
(03/07 04:03:52) Stephen C.: yes true they do
(03/07 04:04:10) Kedry: Yes, but from an OOC aspect, was there any copy+paste?
(03/07 04:04:14) Famous Jemez: once you go thru the doors
(03/07 04:04:35) Kedry: Just askin' the big questions here. ;)
(03/07 04:04:42) Stephen C.: don't know
(03/07 04:04:47) Famous Jemez: the rotating rins in relto cause me to crash
(03/07 04:04:55) IPO: Any suggestions on which on line age I should start with
(03/07 04:05:08) Kedry: IPO, I'd go with the Cleft.
(03/07 04:05:09) JStaub: perhaps a little bit, yes :) although we do quite a bit of "sharing" that you wouldn't normally notice
(03/07 04:05:16) JStaub: IPO - are you new to URU?
(03/07 04:05:18) Louis Timme: Nah, the big question is when do we get outside of Gira.
(03/07 04:05:42) IPO: Yes to on line but completed the home version prior been to the cleft
(03/07 04:05:46) Kon'Dor: Start with the cleft and once done that, I'd suggest starting with Teledahn
(03/07 04:05:54) Jorday: the even bigger question is: What is the absolute ending of the entire game!? :P
(03/07 04:05:58) Lial: You have a Yeesha shirt, IPO, so you've visited many places already
(03/07 04:05:59) JStaub: I was going to say the same thing - Teledahn
(03/07 04:06:11) Kon'Dor: The ending has not been written....lol
(03/07 04:06:11) JStaub: Uh, yeah, that's a little bit too big of a question I'm afraid Jorday
(03/07 04:06:12) JStaub: :)
(03/07 04:06:21) Famous Jemez: The ending has not been written
(03/07 04:06:23) IPO: Thanks but the newer ages off line?? any suggestions
(03/07 04:06:23) Kedry: Hopefully nobody knows. ;)
(03/07 04:06:24) Jorday: blast!
(03/07 04:06:33) Louis Timme: Teledahn is noisy and irritating. Kadish is the place to be.
(03/07 04:06:42) Kon'Dor: whatever
(03/07 04:06:51) Kedry: That's why the KI was made capable of causing you to go deaf.
(03/07 04:07:00) JStaub: You'd really have to beat me up for that one :) Too bad for you we don't have avatar collisions turned on! :)!
(03/07 04:07:01) Kedry: For short times, anyway.
(03/07 04:07:03) Famous Jemez: kadish has annoying puzzles
(03/07 04:07:24) Kedry: So which age(s) are you working on now?
(03/07 04:07:28) JStaub: Different strokes for different strokes I guess
(03/07 04:07:29) Kedry: Mr. Staub?
(03/07 04:07:32) JStaub: Yes?
(03/07 04:07:39) Jorday: of course
(03/07 04:07:44) Kedry: Which age(s) are you working on now?
(03/07 04:07:53) Stephen C.: bye all
(03/07 04:08:02) Kedry: Bye, Stephen.
(03/07 04:08:03) Kon'Dor: Nite Stephen
(03/07 04:08:13) JStaub: Oh, well I spend a fair amount of time in all of them really...but there are a couple I'm spending time in that would be somewhat familiar to you...and others that would be completely unfamiliar...how's that?
(03/07 04:08:17) Louis Timme: G'nite Stephen,
(03/07 04:08:33) Famous Jemez: How do you get to the new age, ive been all over?
(03/07 04:08:33) Kedry: Hm...
(03/07 04:08:41) JStaub: I know, I give really vague and lame answers...my apologies :)
(03/07 04:08:45) Kon'Dor: patching the leaks in Derano eh?
(03/07 04:08:53) Kedry: No, no, they're usual Cyanist replies. ;)
(03/07 04:08:58) JStaub: You might say that...among other things
(03/07 04:09:12) Kedry laughs
(03/07 04:09:12)
(03/07 04:09:33) Kedry: Well, I'm all out of questions.
(03/07 04:09:42) Louis Timme: Anybody know what time the portal in Negilahn appeared tonight?
(03/07 04:09:47) Kon'Dor: Shorah Imme
(03/07 04:09:51) Kedry: I'm sure if I post a log, people will come up with ten times mine.
(03/07 04:09:51) JStaub: Good, cuz I'm out of answers! Heheh
(03/07 04:10:08) Kedry starts to laugh
(03/07 04:10:12) JStaub: Well everyone, it's time for me to go...I hope to be back in sooner than later :)
(03/07 04:10:17) IMME: 6:10 to 6:20 mountain time
(03/07 04:10:17) Kedry: Do you work on the animations at all?
(03/07 04:10:21) Kedry: Oh, ok.
(03/07 04:10:24) IMME: Shorah
(03/07 04:10:26) Kedry: See you later, Mr. Staub.
(03/07 04:10:28) Kon'Dor: Just Be Careful.... ( and ask no questions )....
(03/07 04:10:29) Kedry waves
(03/07 04:10:35) JStaub: Some, although most of the character stuff is done by Jason
(03/07 04:10:41) JStaub: Goodnight!
(03/07 04:10:46) Kedry: G'night, and thanks
(03/07 04:10:46) Kon'Dor: Goodnight
(03/07 04:10:50) Kedry waves
(03/07 04:10:55) Kon'Dor: thanks for dropping by
(03/07 04:10:56) JStaub: My pleasure, have a nice evening
