I can see that the shirts are a special item and noly for the event so it would make sense not to have them decompilable, however there is the issue of inventory space. Paged email would fix this and other issues with the current email system btw.
Make them decompilable but non - tradeable (same for the compile code too for good measure)
This way we can make / remake them as needed and they still stay unique
Problem solved
What they said ^^
Seriously though, something has to be done.

Possibly in-game storage for only collectibles and special items? Separate from our inventory, which would free up some space for us.

Gaussian Blur is another ability that doesnt work even tho its activated
It doesnt show up in the combat bonuses.
Seems like a lot of abilities are having issues.
Seems like the DT lag comes and goes..... should be interesting...

Things are a bit hectic today, as the entire studio is rearranging seats. The good news for me is I'm getting a window seat. The bad news is I have to move a lot of stuff from my current seat to the far side of the office. And, in the meantime, it's not like regular work stops while I'm taking care of this.
Fortunately, work has been going well on the Anniversary Event, so the disruption won't hurt the team too much. Well, I guess that's assuming there are actual desks in the spots the guys are moving to. I suppose Dracomet could work from a couch, though....
I . . . don't . . . care
This isn't your blog. You're running a business.
Please act like it. These last few "Through the looking Glass" have read more like a personal web site. PLEASE KNOCK IT OFF! Several of us are finding it naseauting. (And I don't mean fellow PoP members. I was showing this to others in game) I don't care about your sig. I don't care about what you do in your office. Clients expect a bit of decorum out of the people that work for them.

This is the Rarebitus mohawkian in its natural environment: the SOE Headquarters. It feeds on caffeine and other substances to keep itself awake and wary for predators. As the sun breaks over the horizon we catch a glimpse of a shadow blocking the light shining through a meager window in the next room as it spreads and heads to the Rarebitus mohawkian's lair. It is the Walrus. The various grunts he makes are warning signs for impending paperwork. The Walrus has innate vision to see what any creature in the SOE Headquarters habitat did there, and is especially fond of harassing Rarebitus mohawkian for nesting materials, as well as event spoilers and screenshots, which are vital to the continued survival of Rarebitus mohawkian.

you realise how rare it is to enjoy the level of interaction with people who create / work on a product you use or happen to enjoy? don't knock it. to me the looking glass writeups are equivalent to blog entries in tone and content anyway....no big deal. there was enough stuff in there about the game in any case so who cares?
what's all this "decorum" and "clients" stuff? he's some guy in charge of a pc game. what did he do that was so offensive? and how is he "running a business" anyway?

Just for the record, i do.
I like the 'bloggy-ness' of the other sides, its nice to have a personal 'feel' and insight. As long as top issues/info is there too i see nothing but a good combo ^.^

same here. devs are ppl too, etcetc. anything they wish to share, we're generally interested in hearing.

God. It's unreal.
I'm part of a testing community now (Huge, bigger than WoW's testing community was) where the Devs, act like Devs. I've talked to them one on one VOIP. But they don't cross the line. Although we've gotten along very well, we've shared drinks, and we share the same ideas, the treat me as any other tester. Although we're friendly, they knew their role, played by the rules, and even had to give me a slap on the hand when I deserved it. I couldn't imagine playing suck-up to them. I am who I am. I've always called them like I see them.
Business, is business. My honest to god opinion? People have sucked up for so long . . .have played the part of the sycophants (OMG, X DEV MENTIONED ME!) that unfortunately, some of them, in this very backward and wayward failing MMO, have actually started to believe their own press of those who print entire threads of "OMG, how awesome you are, because you did your job!"

But LOTRO was not that great, noVus. The Turbine developers were all cool folks. Tiggs even offered to help me fix my BSOD problem back in the day but I fixed it not too long after the offer myself. Though I didn't enjoy their game, I did heavily enjoy their attitudes.
Unless I am now totally mistaken about what you're referring to?
#3630019249203/20/2007 23:53:30Re:The Other Side of the Looking Glass - March 16, 2007
....hi, i don't suck up to anyone and i still don't know what you're talking about.
all i know is, you made a nerd rampage-tastic post out of nowhere where you basically said HI DEV! YOU'RE MY WAGE SLAVE, ALSO MAKE MY DINNER and then made a bunch of frankly bizarre statements about clients and blogs and running businesses that made no sense.
and i lolled.

As did I. NoVus, you have the right to your opinion of course, but then so does everyone else. I don't suck up to developers but I enjoy the level of interaction between them and the community at large, it promotes the feeling of everyone being involved in the continuing evolution of the game. Dev's are people at the end of the day, from what you're saying it sounds like you want them to act like robots wake up, go into work, do only what they need to do to keep the game running and content updated, only interact with the community if essential, go home...
Business, is business, as you say but a better business is one which you know your clientèle and they know you...
But my favorite part is the downtown thing! I will so love it if everything gets fixed there!
