What's with all the hating on the new office? They JUST moved in, and as first tenants iirc. Give them a month or so tof...spruce it up.
I'm happy to see everyone's actually working instead of decorating the place... Well, except for Means, obviously, he just takes pictures and plays with his dog. :P
The post it note on the door saying Funcom just did it for me.
In a way, looks like it could be a fun new office, and in another, I think it's looking hip for the sake of looking new. Dunno if I'd want that as my office layout. Congrats on the move

Woah! The graphics engine update in those pictures of the office for the daily missions make them look so lifelike!
Seriously though, we are glad that the AO devs are now moved & getting situated in their new parking garage... err, I mean office.
Can we please have an ETA on a patch for the crashing on logout, which has been happening since at least November? It is affecting many people... to the point some of the already small population do not want to play until it is fixed. I'm really getting tired of sending the crash reports dozens of times each day that I am playing.
Also, what is the ETA for the graphics engine beta please? Until then, is there any chance of getting that teaser video that was 'hopefully' going to be posted "in three weeks" last Spring?

Maybe™ is the new Soon™.
Is there any chance to get some attention towards the new Nvidia cards/drivers support?
nice that you guys are settling in, but seriously >< what an ugly office space is that... i'd get an instant depression if i knew i had to work there :S

Montreal is a great city! Don't let the staff out for too many late night benders... or the rebalance will never get completed :P
Welcome to Canada! It's a great place.... But I hope you don't get too many of these crazy blizzards and whatnot.
Don't forget to come to BC/Alberta and enjoy the rockies (Lake Louise is a very nice resort/ski holiday)
Also, when you have time, do a road trip to the maritimes, St. Johns Newfoundland, is one of the most well preserved cities in Canada, with much of the detail of the 1800-1900's still in tact. Beautiful land Canada is.
gotta say means, nice space...but the "cubes"? ugh! I've spend a lot of time in cubes and we only gave space like that to contractors. What happened to 4 half walls? way too much "peer over your shoulder" for my taste.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
No I'm not - I'm a designer/writer. ;P Trust me, I am made acutely aware of this every time I actually *do* pick up Photoshop and try making a texture for the game, as Means (and previously Silirrion) love *reminding* me of the fact that I am not an artist. XD Looking at the picture I think that's a bottle of water, a bottle of orange juice, a bottle of cranberry juice, a bottle of Gatoraid, and a root beer from McDonald's. Oh, and it was green tea in the mug. I drink a LOT of liquids. ><Actually, you forget he's an artist.
Those are the linseed oil, paint thinner, etc. he needs for when he paints on those monitors.
And honestly, the offices aren't quite as bad as you guys might think - The other floor (where AoC/TSW/etc. people are stashed) has the exact same stylings as ours, and when I first saw it in pictures I didn't care for the aesthetics either; I felt it looked too industrial-modern. But actually being there and sitting in it, it's a *lot* better and more comfortable than I thought. Yeah, sure, it's a little drab at the moment, but we also just moved in; we don't even have Mr. Squeaky shipped over yet.Soon as we get a bit more time to settle in, though, it'll feel just like home. =)

Adv's ? kill them, kill them ALL!
Kill them for slander!
Seriusly, fix so the servers don't crash when they die and it's all good!
Still we hate them, a LOT.
Removal of at least dof & -6k coon wouls be lovely.
Even then, we'd looooove when they DIE!
^^ thats being too optimisitic imo.

Anarrina: Trust me, I'm not that scary in real life.
That's probably why I drink so much, in all honesty - I'm from Mississippi, where your average summer day can easily be 99*F/37*C with 70%/80% humidity. It gets *muggy* up in there for real.
Apparently Montreal does somewhat the same - Very curious to see how it stacks up vs. back home. ;P

Montreal will hit that ... maybe a few times a year.
Awwww muffin, need a tissue?
I do hope Means' special costume was shipped over as well, so we can get new pics of him wearing it while at his new desk!No I'm not - I'm a designer/writer. ;P Trust me, I am made acutely aware of this every time I actually *do* pick up Photoshop and try making a texture for the game, as Means (and previously Silirrion) love *reminding* me of the fact that I am not an artist.
