Yea, everything seems to point to that 
Did you get your inspiration on veils rsi by niobe being the red queen and veil being the white queen from the chapter in Alice in Wonderland?

Not consciously, but that's an interesting parallel. I was definitely going for a memorable color theme with her RSI.
Since I don't make models and textures myself, and just put characters together by picking and choosing and tinting existing art assets, a lot of the process is just playing around with the parts until I get a combination I like.
For Veil I knew a wanted a look that was glamorous, eye-catching, and exotic, while still being somewhat mysterious. The shiny white look stood out and made her look a bit ethereal; white also contrasted nicely with her skin tone, and seems to me to have a dreamlike quality--not to mention its being associated with death in many cultures. The black elements helped create a visual pattern, and emphasize the whites more (and lets not forget that vertical stripes are slimming).
Continuing the white theme to her glasses gave them a certain haunting, veiled opacity; they also remind me of the moon, and Veil seems to me very much a creature of the night, like a dream, or a nightmare.
[AvatRAMa, I'm not sure I understand what you're asking about .bmp screenshots. Shift+F12 should still save out .bmp screenshots.]

There's usually a way to do most anything in a program given enough time, but since SOE's chat system doesn't have the same kind of group support for buddy lists that the old AIM system had, as far as I know this isn't something we can do very easily.
So what you're really saying is.. 
If the developers/engineer's had enough spare time, and community was out-spoken about implementing this and incredibly receptive(Read: Thankful) if/when it's implemented you could easly do it?
Still kinda qondering about those .BMP, they were just so darn good when editing screenhots and the like.
Are there plans to fix the club zoom in bug in couches for westivew and DT?

sorry if this has been asked and answered before if not here then elsewhere, but do u have an idea of wot the rationale was behind hiding rolls in CR2? in both interlock and also system chat?
lol i typed it out properly then had to go back and fix the spelling JUST FOR U. \m/
i'm picky about my bastardisations of internet discourse, "ur" was an ancient mesopotamian city, "YR" is a totally awesome horrible chatroom contraction.

If I was just a little bit meaner, I'd quote Maddox and say:2 - The number of extra keys you'd have to type so I won't disregard "ur" email.

ty for the explanation rarebit :robotvery-happy: it'll take me some time but i think i can wrap my mind around it lol. maybe mainly from a stylistic point of view i will miss being able to dodge bullets like i used to, and being able to tell exactly how well i was dodging em lol.
The Devs rule!
I just thought you should know. :smileyhappy:
You've obviously just finished something you were doing before so it frees up your time to answer our questionis. Mind telling us what it was?
will /afk ever work?
Rarebit wrote:
Not that I'm aware of. You don't get HyperJump until well after the tutorial where you're level 1, so it couldn't really have been included in there.
Well, technically, no one has hyper-jump on their first jump. Not even Neo. So, why don't you put a hyper-jump tutorial into the regular tutorial and then once everyone falls to their death, have it say "Nobody makes it on their first jump. Looks like you'll have to wait a while."
Can you tell us around the date the "build up" to the actual event will start?
Can you tell us when the buildup to the anniversary event will start?
Are you married or dating anybody, Rarebit?
how come a few days ago the assassin was found in sakura!!! was it someone just playing around (dev with to much time on hands) or is he being reintroduced...cause i feel he's being re introduced to the matrix, and this is kinda ruining my storyline
with the in-game advertisements...is it possible for players to pay actual money or maybe do special event stuff to get advertising...cause im alot cooler then william shatner and would like a few billboards/posters of me around mxo...and of course they would have to pass csr/ccr guidliness of soe
So since the sentinal is pretty much done, when is it coming out?
Err, didnt the devs say in a different thread (I forgot the exact name of it) that they weren't going to make any new orgs because of certain technical/time issues?
Forgive me if I just blew that question right out of the water. 
You said you saw a copy of the sentinal, right? Do you know when it will be coming out with pictures and not just text?
Rarebit, You said that the build-up to the Anniversary Event will start once the patch goes live. Well, now that it's been delayed even more, when can we expect the build-up to begin? Or, since the patch is pretty much going out 2 days before, will there be no build-up?

Thank you sooo sooo much!
So when is the buildup to the Anniversary Event supposed to begin now that the patch is gonna be 2 days before the actual event?
Romav wrote:
Same time as they've been saying. 31st March - 2nd April.
The "buildup" and the "actual event" are different things. Rarebit said previously that there would be lots of buildup to the event right after the patch goes up, which was scheduled for two weeks before the event weekend. But, now that the patch is going out two days before, I'm wondering if there will be buildup or not.
I don't think they would just throw things on us without giving us an explenation or some sort of sign that things are gonna happen. But, then again, I could be wrong.
Edit: And in the time it took me to type this up, it was answered already. So, this is null. :smileyhappy:

Hmm...I actually haven't been in the city today. Are you hinting that somethings already happening, Rarebit?
OoOoO, sounds interesting. I'll definatly have to check things out! Thanks, Romav.
whats the deal with morpheus in pegs diner....is that already come to pass pr is it sometime in the futere when i should be camping pegs diner ( peg should really serve better coffe)
are you and other devs "THINKING" on making a new archive such as; widows moore, and sakura
as the oracle once said as of; vampires, ghost's and ie "elvis" are all progaram assimilating things they should not be doing, and morpheus's body was i feel just and illusion with the fly's bursting an image of him. i feel its programs hacking but morpheus isnt such a program so until i see a lootable morpheus body" i want the truth, or is it the system trying to say he's alive cause morpheus isnt a vampire or elvis
what was the deal with the cats in the matrix.... i just remembered it and sort of want a clue on wht the deal was
on the re-guards to my "THINKING" question; are there any thoughts about having suoer rsi's and what im thinking of are you get a special power when you have 2 lvl 50s on an account and so forth (you know the more lvl 50s the better) just wondering if that has hit the development table or not:smileyvery-happy:
sorry for my bad " ENGRISH" lol i have a new laptop:smileysad:
rarebit, did you particiapte in the event and if so which security guard were you on syntax..... i think you were mr. bartle or mr. mcneal
I think I know who has your baseball, but he doesn't call it a baseball...he has another name for it.
Here's something that's been nagging me:
Do the guys at MxO ever experience lag in-game? Do they use the same computers that keep the servers nice and squeaky clean to log in as their characters, or is it some sort of "on your own time" deals? Hmmm.......
Okay by now since my question hasn't been answered by Rarebit it's kinda already been nullified.

When will the urban constructs be open?
Why is there no difference between hyperjump level 24 and hyperjump level 50?

O I got this one. Theres a cap on Hyperjump. Back in Alpha testing they noticed that with maxed super jump you would be jumping from Apolloyon to Uriah basically on one jump so they capped it at a lower level to fix this. Just I think that stats bar doesn't pic up on the cap.
Uriah to Apollyon... sounds fun.
Who came up with the character names Agnes Driscoll. Decius Wadsworth.,If you dont know there history you should check it out,allthough im glad i looked into it after the event would have kida ruined some of it.

The story team probably dives into some old history books and select random leaders or people that share the same personality or goal as in-game characters and just use the same name.
Decius....Roman Emperor? I don't know which one, probably one that betrayed his fellow man.

Fine, Mr. Wikipedia, do what you will. As for me, I enjoy long walks on the beach in the moonlight and eating lasagna on top of overturned trash bins.
