FAOrien wrote: Are there new districts planned? Planned... as in, the future. I don't think I can talk about the future. That's where old age comes from.

QforQ wrote: You said that you werent that busy as of late(you and frog actually) and thats why you've been able to post and stuff....So with everyone busy with the CU 2.0, does everyone envy you right about now? haha Nahhh... They probabl...

Chuui wrote: Yes I do =) I've run perhaps over 10,000 now. In fact, if I were to PM you some ideas, would you mind (I realise of course they stand a very low chance of ever going anywhere)? Eh, you should probably just post ideas in the Mi...

Erace wrote: why do people post questions knowing there not the first one so most likely there not gonig to get answered but they do it anyway ? I figure they probably didn't bother reading the rules .

Bayamo wrote: Do the devs that play LE characters have any "dibs" on characters, i.e Walrus always gets to play Seraph or something like that? Well, Walrus gets to play whoever he wants, but otherwise no, it's open season.

Bayamo wrote: What org would each dev choose? Well, I don't want to answer for the others, but my main character stays org-less and just dances in the street. I do have an alt who went Zion, but that was just because I wanted to play my ow...

Kayda wrote: Granted, but what are your thoughts on such a possibilit? Your personal opinion on such a system I'm not holding my breath; figuratively speaking, I suppose I'm hyperventilating.

Talauntiar wrote: 'what, if anything, is being done about the AWR situation?' No clue. That's all corporate stuff, not game dev stuff. The suits deal with that.

Musutangu wrote: When will /ignore properly block area chat? I dunno. But /futurereleasequestion seems to work all right for me. That one might be admin-only though.

TxTurbo wrote: How long have you been dying to post on these forums? =) Well, it wasn't that I was dying to, exactly. I'm just sort of finding it to be useful now.

Talauntiar wrote: How many people come into the office every day to work on the Matrix Online? That is top-secret info, amigo. Nice try getting me fired, though. =P
