| WarCry (Ophelea) | Thanks for being patient folks, we're just waiting for Jessica....since she'll be answering the questions *grins* |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | BAK |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Welcome back :) |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Hey, I still have 2 minutes, quit busting my chops, :D |
| WarCry (Ramen) | guess who's back? na na na |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Ok, let me at least welcome everyone. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | First off, thank you to our chat about the purchase of the AC Franchise by Turbine from Microsoft - something we're all thrilled about. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Let me also warn you that I typo something terribly :P |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Tonight, WarCry (Ramen) and myself will ask a series of questions sent in by players of Jessica. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Mine will be very ACDM related, Ramen's AC2, but some will overlap a little. |
| WarCry (Ramen) | aye! |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | One thing before we start... |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Jessica, all we ask of you is that you say done, when you're done so we know to go on. And ready when you're ready. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | I'm going to mostly ignore private sends |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | likew the several now flashing at me, :D |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | It is the only way to get out of here beforre the heat death of the universe, :D |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Ok, we'll get started! I'll start off.... |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | The basics: Will subscription fees change? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | OK, tough question.... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | All I can say is right now, is that we're looking at the issue... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | right now, we're the only major MMP still at $10 a month.... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | if it makes sense, we'll stay there. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | If it makes sense to raise the price, we'll consider doing that. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Either way, we'll give you plenty of head's up warning. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Fair enugh? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Ok, Ramen, you're up! |
| WarCry (Ramen) | alright, next issue! |
| WarCry (Ramen) | Micajah asks, "What caused the purchase [of the AC franchise] to come about?" |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Interesting question.... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | About a year ago, our CEO, Jeff Anderson, broached the subject with Microsoft... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | and the talks went on and eventually, here we are. We did it because of several reasons: |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | 1) We love the franchise. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | And by franchise, we mean the game and the players who amke it come alive. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | 2) We tho9ught it made sense for us to bring it home. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | It isn't that MS wanted to let it go... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | It is just that, after much discussion, they agreed... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | that we cared as much as they did and it made sense have it with the creators. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ramen) | thank you |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Yes, thank you. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Ok, next |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Auberon Asks: Will I see any changes/deletions to my characters with the database move? Will there be a character wipe? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | No, there won't be a character wipe and there won't be any changes/deletions. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | *cheers* |
| WarCry (Ramen) | Kelyn asks, "Will server farm transitions require downtime to move servers, or will they just involve changing names on the contract with a 3rd party? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | No, wew'll actually be physically moving the servers to a new datacenter... |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Wow |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | right now, for the US, that is tentatively scheduled for the first week of January... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | and will result in about 1 day of downtime for AC1 and another day of downtime for AC2 |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | The Euro datacenter is scheduled to be moved, tentatively, the 3rd week of January and will have between 12 and 24 hours downtime. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Remember, those are tentative dates and subject to change. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Impressive move time. :) |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Will ACDM update to one of the newer Turbine Engines? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Ah, the infamous graphics upgrade question! |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | This is going to be soemthing of a long answer, but bear with me... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | The biggest difference between AC1 and the engine used for AC2 is this: |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | The graohics are MUCH prettier... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | and they take four times as long to create, on average. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | For example, Scenario can create a full suite of armor for AC1 in about 1 day, give or take... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | and it takes 5 days, minimum, to make that same suite in AC2. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Ouch. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | So, the eye candy is better, but you end up having less to put in the game on a monthly basis... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | and by the way, I meant to use suite instead of suit for armor, :D |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | So, the question becomes, what do you want more, AC2-like graphics and 1/5 the monthly content, or... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | somewhat better graohics with about the same amount of content you get now? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | We can roughly double the resolution in the AC1 engine much faster than we can insert... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | a whole new engine, get better graohics and not lose the ability to add content at the rate we can now. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | I think that is a better solution. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | and my spelling is atrocious tonight, apologies. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Anyway, that's what I intend to do with the graphic upgrade. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ramen) | Next up, Platinumstorm would like to know if Turbine will now also be in charge of advertising for the AC franchise. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Oh, sorry, one more thing... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | one reason for not going with an AC2-style upgrade is that many of the players are still using what, today, could be called lower-end machines.... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | and if we upgrade too far, many loyal players just plain couldn't run the game. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Sorry, ok, yes, we will be in charge of advertising after the transition is complete. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | I assume the next question is, will we? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Yes, we intend to get back out there, let people know we are here and grow the player base. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Well, if ya bought it.... |
| WarCry (Ramen) | ok, since you asked |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | I don't have any details for you yet... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | when we do, we'll let you know about it. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Ok, following on the heels of the graphics question... |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Then this mean’s there WILL there be an expansion for AC1? Did the AC player survey affect the decision for an expansion? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | You bet it did. Proved to us that there was a real need and desire for one, so thank you! |
| WarCry (Ramen) | power to the people! |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Power to the Players! |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | In the coming weeks, we'll be talking with y'all about some of our plans and tentaitve dates... |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | *grins* |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | for development and ship. But it is too early for that now. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ramen) | Kesrick asks, "I'm wondering what affect this [transition] will have on inactive accounts?" |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | In what way? |
| WarCry (Ramen) | will they remain "reactivatable"? |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | We all know that deleted accounts haven't necessarily been deleted every 6 months |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | will you be clearing that all out? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | AH, OK, thanks |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | No, we don't intend to clear out inactives, at least for the mid-term (the next 5-6 months)... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | it is going to take us some time to transition the billing service, so certainly nothing would happen before then... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | There are still some unanswered questions about w=how to move inactive accounts from MS billing to our billing... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | once we have those answers, I'll bring 'em to you. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | In the mid-term, though, don;t expect any change. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Logan asks:: Will Passport or the Zone still be required? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | For a while, until we have our own billing in place... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | we're going to be very careful about that transition. Everyone, pretty much, has screwed the billing the first time they have to implement it... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | and we'd like to avoid that. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | So, for a number of months, yes, we'll all have to use the Zone and/or Passport. We'll make the transition just as fast as we reasonably |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | can, though. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done. |
| WarCry (Ramen) | Elphin would like to know what will become of the ACCMTY boards, being that they are owned by MS? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | We will phase over to the new Turbine sites pretty quickly. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | We have to get the AC2 site built, first. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | So, expect to have us move over in around 60-90 days. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | However, I want to emphasize... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | we'll continue to support the fan sites, and increase that support where we can. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Ok, the question you are all PMing me with: |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Darth Mord asks: Will ACDM go back on the shelves or at least be available for download? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | One or both. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | I have no details for you yet. When I do, I'll get them out to you as fast as I can. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | And let me reiterate that I am in=gnoring private sends to concentrate on the chat. Sorry. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | next question? |
| WarCry (Ramen) | hext (and inquiring minds) would like to know if the transition makes possible any options for alternate billing methods. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | let me add to that? |
| WarCry (Ramen) | you may :) |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Danicia asks: Will other means of payment (making the game available to the under 18's who don't have credit cards) become available? |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | following the same line.... |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | sorry, done with the question, Jess. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | OK. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | I'd like to do that, but I haven't even started looking at it yet. It certainly can't happen before we make the billing change-over... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | so that gives me time to do the research and figure if and how to do it. More on that as and if it happens. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Sorry I couldn't be more definitive; it is just too early in the process. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ramen) | Ghent - Now that Turbine will have greater freedom, what do you WANT to do to the franchise? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Ah, you wish to kow my plan for World domination(tm)? |
| WarCry (Ramen) | yes, in its nebulous form |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | At least of Dereth and surrounding continents.... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | I am going to do the incredibly smart thing... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | and continue to let the team decide the creative aspects... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | .... whike I fly air cover and bask in their reflected glory. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | In other words, I'll set policy and the overall strategic direction... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | ("OK, the policy is to make fun content and, strategically, I want to do that forever.")... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | and then I'll let the team decide what that content is and how to make it. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Was that celar enough? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | er, clear enough? or was I too fuzzy? |
| WarCry (Ramen) | your word is law, Jess. |
| WarCry (Ramen) | good enough :) |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | yes, for world domination (tm) it is |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Yeah, that's the theory, :D |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | dine, then |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Who will provide game support? and Will the volume of admins increase? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | We'll provide that, tho9ugh there will be a transition period while MS continues to handle it... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | while we hire at the speed of mad weasels on meth... |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Nice metaphor! |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | which, by the way, means you should check the Turbine web site for jobs and apply. We need good people. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ramen) | OgII wants to know what we the players/fans of AC can do to help make the game a success? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | http://www.careerexchange.com/cejobs/templateTurbine.asp |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | OK, let me be a business weasel for a minute here... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | the number one thing you can do is continue to play. |
| WarCry (Ramen) | oh, heavy burden |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Number 2, tell all your friends who no longer play that it is time to dust off those CDs and come back. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Number three, don't stop giving us your opinion. We need that... |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | I'm thinking #3 won't be a problem... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | we don't gaurantee to agree with you, but we WILL listen. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | We do this all for two reasons... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | because we love the game and because you do, too |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | that isn't just corny marketing fluff talk; why else would we all be here? |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | The mansion on the hill? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | I certainly didn;t get into this for the money (there ain't none, :D). |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | So, if you want to help us make the game a success, keep playing, keep talking and help us grow the player base. Simple as that. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Ahrok aks: Will the Advocate program be brought back? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Sorry, but no... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | At least, not until there has been a judgment handed down by the courts on the whole volunteer issue. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Until then, it is just not possible. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Kelyn aks: Will this affect the live team size? Quantity of events? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Initially, it won't effect either. The team will stay the same size while we hire up customer service, QA, tch support, billing support, netops, etc.... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | after that, and after we've absorbed all the pieces and we're running the whole shebang... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | then we'll look at how and when and if to kncrease the size of the teams. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Will the policies on macroing and the use of 3rd party apps change with the move? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Tough question... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | on macroing... the policy on unattended combat macroing will not change, although we'll have some more resources to help enforce that policy... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | on 3rd party apps... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | OK, I'll just let it all hang out here... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Since there isn't really a way to tell the difference between a packet coming from a Decal or other plug-in, there really isn't a way... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | to enforce any kind of ban, other than to have people in the game looking for it. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | with UCMs, this is possible... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | and for benign plug-ins, who care? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | But just laying out a policy of "No 3rd party plug-ins!" would be stupid. |
| WarCry (Trujkin) | Pleasee spell out UCMs for the commonperson please jess? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | It would be mostly uninforceable, people intensive for those parts that you can enforce... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | and a sure to set up your admins to fail and pretty much piss EVERYONE off. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | UCM= Unattended Combat Macro... |
| WarCry (Trujkin) | ty. There's a lot of text scrolling past to keep up for some :) |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | So, we'll just try to find a happy medium... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | maybe that is a 3rd party plug-in program, maybe it is something else... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Once we are past the transition, we'll go into this more deeply. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Good enough? |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | :) |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Jessica, how much longer are you available this evening? |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | We can keep you hear all night, but... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | I'll go at least another hour, though I may take 5 minutes soon. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Ok, let me ask a fun question |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Great Bucket God - Will there be new items in the Turbine store? I'd love to see a roleplaying game (D6 System is fast and would work well, plus the system is being revived by new owners), an RTS game, collectables (plush Olthoi!), etc. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | I've actually asked the team to start coming up with ideas in that respect. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | So, probably, but I can't give you a definite yes. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ramen) | Can we expect to see any new servers [i.e., new server names] springing up, given that this might attract new players? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | That's a chicken and egg problem, isn't it? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | If we start to see a marked rise in subscriptiins, sure, we'd want to put in a new server. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | But those suckers are expensive... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | minimum of $100,000 just for the hardware, software, net gear set-up, an that dosn't count the monthly maintain costs and bandwidth costs... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | and right now, we're spending a lot of money to put the service together, buy the game back from MS, etc... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | so, if you want to see a new server, you're going to have to convince me that subs are on the rise. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | like, invite your friends back. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | OK, that was my marketing weasel moment. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Question: What is the Turbine stance on Account Transfers between players and Ebay sales of items |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | OK, just shoot me right now, OK? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | The stance is this: We haven't formulated a policy on it yet. |
| NOTICE | Turbine (JessicaM) has been shot. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | We don't want to make a policy in haste and regret it at leisure,. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | So, you know what? I'm going to just say: I don;t know. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | When I do know, we'll talk again. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | QA: What is Turbine's stance on emulation, now that it is their own decision, and not Microsoft's. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | sorry....shooting you again |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Defiine emulatiin more closely, please. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | I want to be sure we are on the same page. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | and sorry for the typos, getting tired, :D |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Turbine (Zyrca), can you define it better, please? |
| Turbine (Zyrca) | Sure |
| Turbine (Zyrca) | Currently the emulators are clients that will run without a server, so it will display what the client knows. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | OK... |
| WarCry (Ramen) | done, jess? |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | LOL |
| Turbine (Zyrca) | I appologize, I'm getting barraged with corrections |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Legally, I don't know what our position is, so I'm ging to have to defer on that one. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | However, I'll get with our new general counsel and get an answer for you. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | After the first of the year. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | That works. Its a nebulous aread for most of us. |
| WarCry (Ramen) | Yee Wan Sum asks, "What does this purchase enable you to do that you could not do before?" |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | OK, 5 minute break |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | ok |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | We'll answer than one when I come back. |
| WarCry (Ramen) | alright, that one can wait until we reassemble |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | I'm an old lady and can't keep up with you young'uns. |
| WarCry (cherylp3) | - The chat will resume in 5 minutes - |
| WarCry (Trujkin) | IN THE LOBBY ;) |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Ramen and I can only handle so many PMs and see when a questions ends. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | (sorry) |
| WarCry (Trujkin) | We broke 400 for a spell there folks. Nice work. Your fervent use of the lobby is exciting. Thank you for your attendance and interest! |
| WarCry (Ramen) | I'm not trained in missile |
| WarCry (cherylp3) | - The Q and A is currently on break and will resume in a few minutes - |
| WarCry (Trujkin) | someone please turn on the loop recording of Girl from Epanema? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | OK, I'm back |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Ok, from MANY sources: Will Gear Detection be better enforced? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Oops, didn't we have one before that? |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | I think they mean Gear specifically as opposed to all 3rd parties. |
| Turbine (Zyrca) | Just a quick note, I've been corrected on what the emulators are, the current emulator's attempt to emulate the retail server while allowing people with AC clients to connect to them. |
| WarCry (cherylp3) | yes there was a pending question Ophelea |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | I apologize |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Yee Wan Sum asks, "What does this purchase enable you to do that you could not do before?" |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | The answer is that in subtle ways, some things... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | a large corproation, like MS, has to do things according to known procedures and always keeping mind the various parts of the corporation... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | that is not generally bad thing, for a large corporation... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | as a smaller company, we have the advantage of being a bit more nimble in that respect... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | meaning we can do some things faster or get answers faster than a large corporation sometimes can. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Mainly, it allow us to react quicker at times. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | That can be a very nice thing. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | It cuts out one layer of the mix. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Did that answer the question? |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Yes, quite nicely. :) |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | OK, on the Gear question... |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | We're refining that now and, when the work of the transition allows, we'll have better Gear detection. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | So be expecting it. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (cherylp3) | - Reminder those entering with Annoying nicknames may be removed from the channel - |
| WarCry (Ramen) | Will you continue on a monthly event update schedule? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Yes. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | I believe this refers to both ACs: QA Will Vanguard be used in testing the Transistions and implementations to the new mainfraims and such befor retail moves? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Since we are physically moving the servers themselves, that won't be possible. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | And if by JessicaisaMAN, he meant I have a pair of brass ones, he is corect. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ramen) | OgII asks, How long was the purchase from Microsoft in the works? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | about a year. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | although it was finally signed this week. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | dine |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | er, done |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | or dine, if you haven't eten. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | or eaten, even |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Will there become a Vanguard-equivalent for ACDM? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | We are discussing that right now. I think yes, but I don't want to give you a definite answer until the team can bandy it about a bit more. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Trujkin) | Ophelea, please explain Vanguard to the general population. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Vanguard is the team used to test AC2 patches before they are placed on live servers. |
| WarCry (Ramen) | They are a secret society and they meet in dark underground halls |
| WarCry (Trujkin) | Many here thank you for that. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | OK, folks, we're starting to get questions about game changes....so let's get 4 more about the ownership change and wrap it up. |
| WarCry (Ramen) | Will we see any old dev's back on the team with these new changes? |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | No offense to the 'old devs,' but I would trade the current team, for both games, for rubies or diamonds. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | wouldn't |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | erk [wouldn't] |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | OK, maybe for diamonds. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | or a Neiman Marcus credit card. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | But I draw the line there! |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Will we see Asisan servers come to market? |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | heh |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | umm, Asian |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | I hipe so. Let's just get the transition underway first, then we can worry about that. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | done |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Ok, folks, checking with the lobby..... |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Ok, no more questions related to the transfer of the Franchise are pending. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | Jessica and attending developers, thakn you so much for this time. |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | We appreciate you listening to us and taking our concerns seriously. |
| WarCry (Ramen) | *offers to trade 9 camels for a choice dev member or two* |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | We wish you VERY WELL on the move. |
| Turbine (JessicaM) | Thanks. We'll do this again. |
| WarCry (Ramen) | and congratulations to all at Turbine! |
| WarCry (Ophelea) | I hope so :) |
| WarCry (Darkmon) | Thank you and Happy Holidays! |
| Turbine (ibn) | Thanks to everyone for coming out tonight. :) |
| WarCry (Trujkin) | to those that missed all or part of the chat, it will be posted to http://ac.WarCry.com momentarily. |
| Turbine (srand) | Thanks! |
| Turbine (Zyrca) | Thank you :) |
