Isn't that what you would expect out of a PR activity?

yes, but as the extreme optimist that I am, I always hope for more...

If you have been in Sweden in the springtime, it's quite likely two or three women in low-cut, minidresses walked by .

I understand you were talking about areas like the "Graveyard of Generations"...which I like, personally...but he did seem to miss it entirely.

A little over a year ago there was a bot event which was in-line with the STORYLINE of the game. 6 Secret Transmitters were recovered(one was TT'd!), and those were then turned in for POE-Protector of the Empire.

Reading the backstory of PE, this should lead us to getting the upper hand over the bots and pave the way to the twin planets which are the robot homeworlds.

Invading the robot homeworlds would have been an obvious expansion of hangar uses...

I am hoping the culimination of the robot storyline, like the Egg, will take our breath away...

Marco_MindArk: I don't think space will be exploited until 2008 at the earliest.

lmao. at least they're putting off the exploitation of us in space....

It was interesting needless to say.

One thing though is this community chat replacing the Q and A or is that yet to be answered?

No, the latest Q&A was directed to the balancing manager, and according to Marco, the list of questions are now in the balancing manager's hands. We are simply waiting for the replies to be sent back, and they will be posted in the Q&A thread.

Skippie: the skill nerf we had in the fall was extremely harsh for mid and lower skilled players to get over. any plans with SIB weapons to help assist mid level players in more normalized skilling in the future? was this part of the decision to nerf skill?
Frank_MindArk: We will naturally include more objects for every level in the future. Balance is the aim.

i was glad to be able to ask this question and was kind enough to phrase it better than "look you mind ark sob, wtf did you do to the skills... throw us a friggin' bone with some sib weapons, would ya..."



i was only disappointed to have had to run to a working lunch, and only got to see my question (and many other good ones) answered when i returned to work. thanks to frank for giving us a bit of community / company chat, a thing i hope we get to see more and more of here. and thanks to all of you at ef for making this happen.

in my entire time in eu, this is the only time i have ever seen such a good opportunity for this actually materialize. regardless of the vauge responses or top secret ones, this communication can only lead to better and better relations between the company and the participant.

overall, i am thrilled to have been able to be there to see it and be a part of it, and it gives me hope for the future of the universe.

like someone said in the Thread about the Atrox Queen, hopefully we will still BE breathing when this happens...

Hard to take someones breath away when they are dead.
