As you may or may not have heard, the people who brought you the award-winning (ok, not really) MxO Resource fansite are at it again!

We are creating the ultimate in seamless design and information, and calling it Mobil Avenue.  This thread is for updates as BD is coming along development-wise, news from the team, and of course, your suggestions.

Notes (will be updated)
  • Team is contemplating doing away with member accounts.  Resource had quite a few features that required accounts, like node tracking and portfolios, but BD is trying to avoid as many unnecessary features as possible.  We feel that node tracking by itself is not enough of a reason to enable member accounts.
  • Please do not suggest updated information, because that's our specialty!  We're going to have as accurate information as possible as soon as updates are pushed out.  Everything that is in-game now since Resource was under hiatus will be added.
  • The Clothing database will be returning!  We have archives of the databases!  Whoo!
  • If we decide to enable member accounts, all old Resource account information will be usable.  If you had an account on Resource before the day it died, your account will be available.
  • BD will be an independent entity, meaning it will not be connected to a radio station, live events team, etc.  This is due to past experience and history, as Procurator pointed out.
  • (1/17) UPDATE Community-submitted guides will play a role in the BD Guide section.  Resource had a few guides, but lacked the time to create more due to other site features.  This time around, we want to push new-user experience as well as walkthroughs for quests, Pandora's Box, Commando Halls, etc.  Yes, you heard right--BD will have the Pandora Walkthrough Resource never did (WTH?).  We want the best player-written guides on BD.  Content will be submitted through email and subject to review, editing including addition, relevance, and need.  All player-created guides that make it to the live site will of course be given their due credit.
  • (1/31) UPDATE Site name and theme changed to Broadcast Depth!
Launch Date (subject to change)
  • February 16, 2008
  • February 21, 2008
  • February 28, 2008
  • Coming Sometime Soon...
Site
Please get in your suggestions and we'll see what we can do!

Resource got me through my lower levels and i miss it daily.

I am most definately looking forward to Mobile Avenue going live.

#36300388455 01/17/2008 04:42:46 Re:Mobil Avenue [Fansite] Thread

I've previously considered this as a good Merv faction name: any intention of doing so now? I think it might generate some interest, if any further was needed! SMILEY 

I seem to remember people calling for some new ideas within the Merv factions: Maybe this could be just what people are looking for...

#36300388535 01/17/2008 06:39:48 Re:Mobil Avenue [Fansite] Thread

It sounds like it will turn out wonderful! I can't wait to see it SMILEY

#36300388726 01/17/2008 11:13:40 Re:Mobil Avenue [Fansite] Thread
I'm excited to see this site.  Mobil Ave is a great name too.
#36300388861 01/17/2008 15:20 Re:Mobil Avenue [Fansite] Thread
I can vouch for the /who areas (regionservers) being completely messed up. SMILEY The area covered by a regionserver changes based on how many people are actually in a particular place. If there are lots of people, the area shrinks; if there are hardly any, it expands.

I've seen a /who area span the northern regions of Downtown and International at the same time. SMILEY
#36300390351 01/20/2008 12:23 Re:Mobil Avenue [Fansite] Thread
Looking forward to the release, MxO Resource was really useful for me so I'm sure that Mobil Avenue will be even better.

if theres anyway to still get them the blip files where they have acsses nodes and keys would be a nice thing to have as well
#36300397601 02/01/2008 02:32 Re:Broadcast Depth [Fansite] Thread
Looking good so far! SMILEY I preferred the name Mobil Ave, though. SMILEY Still, I can see why you changed it.

Bravo!!  Extremely professional too! 

oh and... I especially like that little link in the top right corner. SMILEY

Looking Great Mr. SK... One little thing though, What's going on with Shimada's left cheek?

#36300402859 02/08/2008 22:56 Re:Broadcast Depth [Fansite] Thread
Still looking good. SMILEY ...but, something I noticed just now bothers me a little. "The Pirate Signal"?  Maybe it's just me, but it sort of reminds me of another SOE game. >_> SMILEY
#36300402935 02/09/2008 04:24 Re:Broadcast Depth [Fansite] Thread
Looking good, Shadow! SMILEY Very 'Web 2.0'. SMILEY I trust you won't use too much AJAX, though, if you are at all - it tends to get overused and breaks normal browser behaviour on other sites.
#36300405300 02/12/2008 21:48 Re:Broadcast Depth [Fansite] Thread
Good Luck! SMILEY  I wanna see the minute it's up! SMILEY
#36300409688 02/19/2008 06:32 Re:Broadcast Depth [Launch HQ]
H'mm. Looks good, of course, but I think the page is getting a little long. I'm running at the common 1280 by 1024, and I can only see the nav bar, the news and the Datamine image before having to scroll down. The dynamically loading news box is a nice idea, but it could make space for something else. And the two Events boxes (Live and... I guess the second is supposed to be Player) only need to be half their current width if you ask me.

Whatever the case, I like the style! I'm kinda envious too; my visual creativity's gone down the toilet the past couple of years. I can still do the programming but my design stinks at the moment. SMILEY Yours doesn't.

On behalf of all those who have little precious time to play, I say Thank You!

Your site has given me the resource to quickly find things and spend more time playing rather than run in circles and get frustrated.

Thanks again, we really appreciate it.

You're most certainly welcome, and I'm happy to do it. =D

Something just occurred to me.  I used to send out mass emails to people signed up on Resource to promote new stuff on MxO and Resource.  I'm tempted to send one out now to all 2,000+ members about Datamine, Broadcast Depth, the storyline, etc.  What does everyone think?


DOOO IT! SMILEY  ...just be sure I'm on the list! SMILEY

The delay will be worth it. SMILEY And you're delaying infinitely less than I do on my projects, so I'd have no right to complain even if I wanted to. SMILEY
#36300422133 03/09/2008 06:35 Re:Broadcast Depth [Coming Week of 3/9]
It's online?

*Looks a little deeper.*

Eh-heh, so it is. SMILEY

There's a typo on the bottom of the main page, Shadow. Trying to 'retreive' things, it's not surprising you don't turn up any results. SMILEY


#36300422175 03/09/2008 09:34 Re:Broadcast Depth [Coming Week of 3/9]
Will we be seeing that clothing database search section in here too? I need a new one like from mxoresource.com lol It always helped me find clothing or just to browse if I was bored.

I understand the frustration, and I myself am feeling sorry for not having the site up as planned.  Thank you to those who have been patient and supportive of Broadcast Depth.

A few individuals approached me asking if I needed help with Exile Hideouts, but nothing came of it.  The extent of what I have obtained is based on all three servers' marketplaces.  As of now, I am missing the following Exile Hideout items:

Solid Sneakers
Defiled Gloves
Fighters Gloves
Asepticap
Section Shoes
Perception Shades
Watcher's Shades

If anyone would help me get the stats on these last seven items, I would appreciate it.

I am working on the site whenever I can, and I'll have it done as soon as I can.  That's the only promise I can make right now, and I apologize for missing the last release dates.

You could send Rarebit a PM, I'm sure he has access to that kind of information.
#36300425812 03/16/2008 17:54:28 Re:Broadcast Depth [Coming Week of 3/9]
I'd rather not bother the devs with doing work for me.  Rarebit has enough to do as it is.  Besides, this is a community fansite.  I was hoping someone would have the stats for these, but I haven't received anything so far.

Thanks Cervacius, but I do not believe these are correct.  There were level changes and resistances added per Update 54.
#36300426858 03/18/2008 18:23:47 Re:Broadcast Depth [Coming Week of 3/9]

Well I verified the other information with the stuff I could actually get a hold of and it checked out ok.  I just couldn't verify these.  But the lesser versions they listed on the site and the versions I found on the Marketplace were accurate.

Mm, on second inspection, no, I don't think they're accurate either.  :/
