Yeah, no WYSIWYG in Firefox 3 for me either, Rarebit. Also, did the dev/admin post tracker always say number of votes?

Yeah, Gimp is all I can ever use, it's quite useful for a free program. It was definitely confusing the first few time I used it, though. edit: why are usernames underlined now? XD

Ooh, you got 10.3.2 up now also? Very good. I no longer feel the need to play through Merv and Zion missions with alts. Make sure Zippy keeps it up. We can't have a lazy squirrel.

I already knew most of the stuff here by the time I got to it, but still interesting to here. I wonder if the Oligarchs even care much about the Merv attacks. I do kinda wonder though, if Wright had technology allowing humans to jack in wi...

I also really like the Twins in events. Their ghost effect always is fun to see (haven't seen it personally though ). Although most had already speculated on it, Gray telling us Ouroboros is the Oligarchs makes things quite interesting.

Ooh, very nice. I like Kybutra's dark style; also always love to see artistic takes on datamining. Hmm...I think I submitted something for this, but I can't remember. Guess I'll have to wait and see.

Hmm...I wasn't gonna post anything more today (sub runs out tonight), but this had me intrigued. One thing I do wonder with Ch 10-12 is if any slight changes will still be made, considering nothing like cinematics have to be made long befo...

Hmm...really wish I could make one of these. If the Vector one just takes a really long time...

Hmm...to delay the death on Vector, Rare should make like four level 85's or so that must be killed before the level 100 even appears. Kinda like how the Assassin had to be killed on all servers to ultimately die.

((I actually stood behind Ghost at the end to *CENSORED* of Zion that a Cyph was right there. Unfortunately, Rarebit cut the screens off right before that. I did get in quite a few near the end when I was starting to fear I wasn't gonna sh...

Hmm...we need a Zionist to do a summary. I'm too lazy to do the crit on my own this week, got too far behind.

Load Sector Length of Distance...probably certain areas with differing complexities have LOD's set with them to change separate of your normal LOD settings. EDIT: that's at least what I've always thought. That could be wrong though.

It's a great post and I agree with it. Some of the last few things happening with the game have given me the feeling the devs are trying to show us we are near our end. Virrago can keep telling us the servers won't shut down; that may be t...

lol that this thread was up all day but nothing happened...except for everytime I went in, a group of people were always going for the kill

Are you allowed to do that Rarebit? EDIT: I wanted story time too. Make a thread called Dev Stories.

At least we know the total population of MxO is still great enough to crash a region.

lulz. I'm surprised it took so long.

Yeah, it's already starting. Hm...I think I might load up recall, heals, and rez to help out lowbies. Don't stay on Rec/Vector just because of attacks! We want the biggest gathering we can get!

I know I'm cutting off some of my previous comments here, but I should probably stop anyway. I do hope Rarebit creates the storyline with more player involvement (not counting players doing Sentinel and perhaps cinematics). The only nice t...

I was surprised I actually knew so many of the developers on there. I voted SOE. For this round, at least . I think some people might be confusing which Rockstar is against you guys.

heh, I'd just seen that on yahoo. I didn't know about a lot of those things, mainly I just knew him for the Space Odyssey. He reached quite an age for someone with polio. RIP, good sir.

Heh, I love the poster. The odd thing is, on the left side to the center where the buildings are mostly in code, a skylight, air duct, and signal tower all are missing the code. Looks a little funky, but otherwise is an awesome poster.

For anyone interested, this is part of what I got (along with EQII and trading card game stuff)

Is the Matrix poster anything like this? Got this from the podcast! I'd still like a beanie though...and a t-shirt. And the holo poster cuz it probably looks cool. (lol at my bad photo-taking and cropping skills)
