The idea that world design had for these was that they were equivalent to towns you find in traditional fantasy RPGs: places where you can find vendors, and chat with people without having to worry about wandering monsters.

Seymour asked a while back for a list of old abilities that were removed in CR2.0. Thanks Dracomet and NoRepro for putting this together. The following old abilities were disabled under CR2.0: Balance Detect Traps DetectVulnerability Disar...

As of Update 42 (which came out last week) this is now the default setting, so there's no need to put it in your useropts.cfg.

It was intended that the Beta Caps, unlike the old Beta clothing that was actually from Beta, would be items you could trade. They can't be traded right now, due apparently to some sort of confusion on our end. I am going to see that this...

It definitely sounds like it was smaller than expected. If combat is working, then I'd say the patch is good--I guess they just straightened something out between the initial QA server patch and this one.

Update 42, scheduled for March 28th, is going to be a very large download--and by "very large," I mean that QA estimates it will be over 500 MB of files that you are required to download in order to play. The anniversary event will begin i...

Thread noted.

Ooh lovely, I like the grey.

The Kid has put out an invitation to join his group, E Pluribus Neo . This offer is similar to what has been going on for the past week with Cryptos and his Cypherite faction tags . So most of the following will be a repeat of that post, o...

Update: There is a limit of 41 characters, visible or invisible, on faction names. The blue CYPH tag adds 21 characters, since it includes two spaces, a dash, and 14 invisible color coding characters. Therefore, any faction with a name lon...

You may have noticed that Cryptos has put out a call for those looking to take an active role in the Cypherite group. As you know, the Cypherites will not be playable as an Organization. However, we have worked out a way by which factions...

*cough* Please refer to this article on Broadcast Depth for important details regarding Cryptos' call (hint: Cypherite faction name tags). Message Edited by Rarebit on 02-23-2006 05:56 PM

By the way, Anome's name is pronounced like "A gnome." That's "A" as in "capital A."

And the new $info icon is also in emails too, right? /crossfingers

All I can say for myself is that try as I might to have a player's perspective on things, I'm not a player, and I don't always succeed. I've been having to deal with the three orgs that I knew I'd have to deal with for so long that I haven...

Just to clarify something: abstraction of buffs from clothing is NOT a feature that will be included in CR2.0; it is too large of a project in its own right. So this thread is a little off-topic here in this CR2.0 forum.

Yes, our technical designer, from whom I am inheriting this task, had said that he was going to redesign that darn beret. I'll have to see if he's got a spec for it, or if I'll have to come up with one on my own.
