Friday with Means - January 8th, 2010 - Who took my stuff!

[Shaylon]

It's kind of nice to see the game director actually cares about the upheaval hacked accounts can cause enough to post a reminder to be careful with your account info.

Hopefully the evul spider was great stress relief.

[Neosh1]

nah thats just becuse he dont have time to write something about progress of the game, why would he? repeating something that we alredy know is fastest way to get done with FWM

[cbus97]

To those who don't like this weeks FWM: The QQ spider.

[Means]

I did not include any other information of any kind this week as I didn't want to dilute the message: Do not share your accounts.

This is VERY important and has caused no end of trouble over the entire Christmas holidays...the true extent of which only began to come clear this week. This is bad enough to involve multiple lawyers on two continents...which automatically files it under "time consuming" AND "not fun discussion". Major work being done to combat current exploits was also part of this week...and while unfortunately interesting is not really open for discussion.

What our angry (with good reason) German players are singlemindedly interested in is concrete information on how and when the character transfer is going to take place. In their position I would also like to know....and very little else would be interesting to me until I was moved successfully and playing on my new server. Trite spider jokes (while amazingly amusing) would do little to improve my mood.

The character transfer:

1. Test characters have already been moved successfully from RK3 to both RK1 and RK2.
2. The rules concerning names, organization names, access to non-instanced cities and everything else involved to make this move as fair and equitable as possible for everyone involved is what is taking time. These details have NOT been finalized. Doing this right involves NOT writing them in "10 minutes"
3. Despite a lack of concrete rule-sets I have still set a deadline for completion of the availability to transfer from D3 to D1 OR D2 to within January.

I also enjoy reading Kintaii's posts more than my own. Kintaii is great fun and does an amazing job of providing the community with information. That being said putting this together every week is not simple...and easier when you don't have to ask someone else what you are allowed to say. This is not a task I am going to drop onto someone else who (like everyone else on the team) already has more to do than can reasonably be expected of any employee.

It is 11pm here. After a week of working hurt/medicated I am done.

Have a great weekend. Hail Macrosun.

[Technogen]

No Means, Hail you too, you do a great job and a lot of us know it.

[Camista]

While I like to hear from you, I wish you hadn't given them what they wanted. You are not their bitch.

No, it's not good to delete critical posts I find bad Critique is one of them just as good. which is why I think this should also hear the Means no matter how it is because I mean it just is not all fanboys in AO

[Anarrina]

Just so everyone understand, I have no problem with a critical post, and don't generally delete such if that is expressed in an articulate and constructive fashion.

"Means you suck" doesn't qualify as those things, and is simply inflammatory, and therefore violates forum rules.

[Mireiawen]

Are those spiders crawling into our accounts now? =p

[Body]

yes but the point is that the consent was the first and I do not apologize for it.

but it can not be what he's always writing something about his vacation and his family or his dog, or any headaches?

I think it should only go to AO and not about his private life or not?

[Suicidal]

It's his thread, he can write whatever he wants.

[Snakebite]

New shirt design?

New Übah Boss Mob, gotta kill the placeholder that spawns after you've solo'd Beast (GM Placeholder Mob), couple of those & you get 'THE SPIDER'!!!

It drops lvl500 Monster Parts that can be tradeskilled (only by those high end tradeskillers that have no other life), into amazing level 200 Treatment Labs...

Enjoy!

Being angry is one thing.

Insulting you or others because of that anger is totally another thing.

Quick, never ever ever talk off topic again!!! You can only ever talk about AO NOW!! Any side topic must be some anecdote that happened in AO and it must be enjoyable to ME (who cares about those other cretins)! If I don't find it funny or it's not important to ME you have to not post it. Mmkay?

[Body]

But calm down ok ...

My question would be:

1. will remain the German forum?

2. we will in future also a few events for DNW received at least until we move to pass the time on?

3. it is a kind of final event type as the v2 rockets into the cities embark or so what if we go?

2 Short paragraphs, as an introduction and an exit joke, is all that didn't involve AO, the rest of the original post did involve AO and was about a very important matter.

The fact he bothers to write anything at all every single week of the year indicates he cares enough about AO that he is even working during his holidays.

If you don't like it, you don't have to read it, but expecting constant game updates week in and week out even during International Holidays is, I believe, highly unreasonable of you.

Personally I like to get some idea of the behind the scenes running of things, whether that's hard details about AO's development, or the stuff that's caused delays in AO's developement, it all has a bearing on the game in some respect.

ok we not ?

[Snakebite]

Here is another picture of a spider.

Where did you get that? It's crap, looks like it's been rendered on a Sinclare ZX81...! lol.
