Woot, thanks to the kit part donations and todays insane shopping sprea i went on, we now have a glass table, a gong and a blue rug.
Bought as much as i could towards the orange rug and sculpture but couldnt get hold of the sculpture adhesive or the orange thread 4. If you can find them or loot them, get in touch as those are the only two pieces we need now.
The items are waiting in the living area of the lodge if someone wants to come place them

Dropped some (not many) hides in a rucksack in the PA hall.
had one of those days where you just killed everything at a guf drolg lair when half a dozen aggro NPC's warp in from who knows where and incap you. They don't kill you, just leave you there immobile watching as the corpses you were about to harvest start vanishing...
Maybe I'll stick to worts and gorgs round Espa.

Alright look for Mawg on the TC starting thursday. I need to get away from my responsibilities on bloodfin anyway. I'll go back and read the rest of the thread to find out where i need to move him to and how to get added to the guild.

TC-Gorath not up. My chars on TC-Prime are gone. No more TC playing for me. Kinda a waste of time if I have to grind a new char every couple of weeks.

The TC-Prime character is a known issue, check dev tracker, and it will be fixed. Its seems people treat TC as just another server. Its a beta server and it exists to tests things before they go live. That means that its users need to understand that it will crash, be taken down at the oddest hours for days on end, and could even involve character wipes.
I see TC as a reason open betas dont work sometimes

I understand that character wipes do occur, but it becomes difficult to test alot of things when I've always got a noob character.

Zaene: There hasn't been a character wipe, TC-Prime has been mothballed with the mass testing of GCW and event content is tested on TC-Gorath. There are Character Builder Terminals (Blue Frogs) on TC-Gorath so you can more or less instantly generate a new character, template it up, get credits, buffs and equipment. Go, have fun and test.
Fodder: TC-Prime is intended to operate as a 'normal' live server, it is merely set at Publish+1. People are there to develop characters in exactly the same way (with the exception of having extra char slots) as they do on Live. As a result, as on Live, people get attached to their character, have plans for tomorrows gaming, harvesters out, houses to put rent in, etc etc.
When they go to get a mug of tea and come back and find that they've been mothballed for 'technical reasons' they get a little touchy. So would you if your home server was either splattered with CBT's or taken out of service with no notice (something which is possible but unlikely).
The players on TC are more than used to the fact that the server goes down (usually just when somebody gets a buff set and announces it in the chat channel cos they are off to do some serious damage....) The function of TC is to catch the bugs that would normally get through to Live if we only ever tested at Master level with buffs and all the resoures to hand.
Oddly enough, on the whole, it does work.
