I emailed Tyrant a week or so ago and still haven't heard from him. Guess the rumors are true?

With all the rumors flying around about Tyrant leaving and finding out now Cal has left it look slike they are going crazy at Austin and TH probably was forced to recycle do to time restraints. If you are reading this Th it wuold be good if you guys could make a post explaining whats going on as the rumors are flying hard. Is Tyrant leaving? Is he already gone?





I'm really curious about this too. Is there any way we can get a comment on it?

Wohaa! Old reruns... just like TV. Well, good for the new players, but they mostly get their tips from the veterans so we would prefer something new. Maybe we have run through the list of game functions now...

TH, is there a chance we could get this documented in the game? For instance, maybe in the skill box that grants this ability, and maybe in the knowledge base?


thanks!

If somebody has a really hard name to type in and you like talking to them but its a pain to type (example) /t Jon'Smith'Da'm'a'n' (messege);


Then you can set up an alias to talk to him like this...


/alias jon /t Jon'Smith'Da'm'a'n' <-----(without a semi colon after it)


Now all you will have to do is type /jon (messege)and it will /t Jon'Smith'Da'm'a'n' (messege)


Please note that if you put a semi-colon at the end of the alias it will not work! It will end the command and say you need to send a messege...

Each week, Q-3PO started a thread for you to share game tips with fellow players. Tuesday Tips will continue on with that tradition so be sure to join in and add your helpful tip.


Do you have a little known command you use all the time? A cool place to visit? A trick (non-exploit) to getting more out of the game?


Share it here or if you prefer, send us an email with your tip and we'll showcase it here!


This tip comes fromPeasleblossom Fariof theStarsider Galaxy!



Programming Fireworks Displays



"Many players know how to load different fireworks into a Show Package and launch it for an impressive display. However it's a little known ability of the Entertainer profession to program these packages. Anyone with Novice Entertainer can adjust the timing and order of the fireworks, creating dramatic pauses, colorful clusters, or long steady displays. A programmed package can then be given to anyone else, and launched as normal. It's a great way to celebrate a special ingame occasion."




Thanks Peasleblossom!
