Through The Looking Glass - April 20, 2007

You know you can always request a sig from the avid forum goers.

As to your spiffy new job ... you're starting to grow on me. *le gasp*

Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be bored of you soon enough. >

• Chapter summaries.  Way back when we actually used to have LET to do monthly events, we had an image with the event or chapter name and a small summary of the story progressing through that period.  I believe to this date, examples of what I'm talking about can still be found at www.mxostory.com... I'd like to see that brought back.  It really boosted the excitement from people who visited the site, and made them want to download the game and check it out for themselves.

• Player of the Week.  Yes, it was actually originally known as Beta Player of the Week.  A player was picked for his/her contributions to the community, a screenshot was taken of them, along with a small interview, and their picture/interview was put on the main site.  It doesn't even have to be of the week, it could be of the month, but it would certainly be welcomed by those who miss seeing the player highlights.

• TOSOTLG depth.  Something that people tend to want to tune into Other Side for the most are hints about things soon to be released in the game, or in testing stages now, and improvements that are coming.  So if you can per chance elude to any of this, it would be helpful and exciting to us as players. 
  

raijin what about "Beyond The Looking Glass"???

or

"Beyond The Door of Light"

A little more depth is something I'd personally like to see.  While the updates on DN1 are great, there's things that I personally miss seeing on the main site.

  Just some thoughts.  Don't worry, you're doing great.

Chapter summaries are probably best provided by development so I'll see if I can ping them and get them for general consumption. This indeed would be a good thing.

I intend on starting the Player of the Week feature sometime down the road, mainly when things get a bit more settled.

TOSOTLG...well I'm probably not going to have a whole lot of depth but we'll see what we can do.

Can't say im not dissapointed in the apparent shift of focus from dev insight/hints to more heavy on community activity but i'll live.
Just make sure you do have something development wise every week or so, or maybe have Rare write up a piece every 2 weeks like a kind of development update, i mean its not like it'd be any worse than AAD, heh. 

The MxO community is just natourious for being info hungry ^.^

Chapter summaries, i like the idea and i believe it's being worked on (if here is anything to go by), would love to see them become a permanent feature every subchapter.

Next step to keep the community happy? Buddy keys and working on that damned Guide button!

Oh and also linking/adding to the fanart page (since yourself commented on how uber our fanart is, more so now then when the first wave went in)

Annnnnd updating DN1's screenshots, wallpapers and adding new movies. All with community content of course

Oh and to randomly throw this out there, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD FIX THE FORUM HEADER.



That damned logo has been missing a block in it's top right ever since we got these boards and it still isnt fixed. xD

We crave development news!

The community already knows what's going on in the community.  We want to know what's going on, well, on the other side of the looking glass.

Yeah, hopefully there'll be a whole big storyline section to the guide covering stuff like that. I mean, it is kinda the game's main overall feature.

We can hope. =P

What would qualify a player to be awarded 'Player of the Week'?

Despite the fear of looking stupid, is DN1 the website /mirror/ ?

That was something i thought everyone knew....

I'm willing to get you anything you need for a guide section.  Please, lets all work together to get a guide up.

i like the name "through the looking glass" it has a nice ring to it but u really have 2 get a feel about what it means. it is news and announcements that we all want to see and u must realize this.

i really hope that u recieve all the inspiration u need to really fulfill the task before u. u cannot write a through the looking glass report without getting totally immersed in the situation.

give us insight in true matrix fashion; please!
