So, I am going to make an offer and see if you want me to follow through.


30 characters for the city. You want them, I can bring them. All I'd as for is some housing and the rest of the lots can be used for harvesters, factories and what not.


I can't promise a ton of time, I would be on from time to time to see how it's going and what new things are comming down the pipe.


So, lemme know...





Many thanks for this gracious offer. Test Center has been taken out of service to run internal testing, so it might be some time before the server comes back up...again.


At this time, I am unable to accomidate for such a large numberof additional residents to be added all at once. At maximum, I have enough deeds to cover 10 -15 toons. I want to hold on to these, for the time being, in order to bring in active Droid Engineers that would wish to join the city / guild.


This is not to say that at some later pointI would be interested in taking you up on the offer, in order to bolster static harvesters drops for the city or maintain a Rank 5 rating. I'll contact you when/if this time occurs.


Again, many thanks for your offer.

Heh, the clone thing was fun, I did 18 toons. I strongly advise using a "bus" the 6 person speeder to bring a bunch at once. Un;ess Drashk gets a SP, then you are lucky.


I'll redeclare mine as soon as TC comes up.

I re-declared residence on two of mine, but it didn't work for the third. All three got the message that they were now in the city limits, but I only had to re-declare on two of them. On the third it said I was already declared there, so I'm assuming it had something to do with that. I wasn't on for long enough to play around with it.

The offer stands anytime you need/want it Drashk, just PM me when and where and I'll be there.


I feel for you guys getting Prime mothballed again. It would be like them yanking Bria offline for a month so they can get all the Bria players to hop on Bloodfin and test there. It makes no sence. Sure they can Frog the hell out of TC-Bria so that you all can pop on and make DE's in a hurry but then you are left without the resources and tools you need. It also mucks up the testing when you have 100 people that hop on just to see what DE is like and report on things that are not bugs but just a lack of understanding of the profession as a whole.


Anyways, back to the TC "Clone Army" offer. I wasn't honestly looking to drop 'em all on you at once. Maybe getting one or two in and then go apesh*t on the static harvesters was my idea originally. But, like I said, just hollar at me when you are good to go and I'll get a toon there to share in the experience. Besides, there's a load of questions I have about this profession that I'd like to talk to some of you guys about.


Which reminds me... Once TC-Bria is up, if you need some good DE resources, lemme know. There's a backpack that I came into posession of that's named "DE Heaven" for a reason...

What does joining the TC mean? Will it affect my regular SWG client software? What's the process? I'd be interested in supporting.

first you need to make a copy or do a fresh install of SWG into a star wars galaxy test folder. then after that is done you need to log in to galaxies as normal, but at the screen that checks the game there will be a icon at botom that says testcenter. then it will ask to specify a directory for testcenter, pick the folder you just made it will update it then your ready to play.

Count me in Drashk. I believe I have a character on there named Bolluck. Send me a message in game with some coordinates and I'll see what I can do for us I can't promise a ton of dedicated time (my actual play time is limited as it is), but if we do pull this off and IF YOU CAN GET THE DEV TEAM TO COME STOP BY(wink wink kind dev-like peoples) I'll be more motivated to contribute. The reality is our profession is screwed right now and barely represents what a droid engineer could be in a Star Wars game like this. If that's because of what the crafting game has become or because the team is focused on other issues doesn't really matter in the end...the point is we're never reached a point in the DE community where we could say we had reached a stable feature set, and that, well, sucks.


Anyhow...maybe if we pull this off it'll feel like Beta 1 with a more concentrated focus That can't be a bad thing!
