Is it me, or is that moon missing more than before?

I had nothing to do with the accident.

Notice how quickly he denies it.

Maybe something like this happened:

Wot!?!

[Cyprene]

I am pretty curious about this Overlord's Keep that is supposedly the centerpiece of the game.

I'm pink again. (If you catch that reference, you spend WAY too much time on this forum)

[chemical_art]

I can confirm that Chemical Art did indeed admit he was "enjoying himself" while playing Valley 2. I've got the screencaps to prove it, in case anyone doubted it.

Man I hope you took lots of screenshots. The joy and horror of discovery was only matched by our collective reactions.

[A taste of one converstaion toward the end upon "leveling up" our spell classes]
Me: NO TIME TO SLEEP, NEW SPELLS
<someone else> owl summoning!
[note: It was not literally summoning owls, but it was cool nonetheless]
Another: I don't like my current spell selection, whoa, they do look nice though...and they hit hard! Ok I suppose this can work.

[Mick]

No owl summoning? Lame!

[chemical_art]

No owl summoning? Lame!

Now I didn't say that!

Just not at level 2...with my current class selection...at this given moment...that I'm aware of.

[keith.lamothe]

The Owls are locked in eternal warfare with the Eagles for control of the Avian Elemental Plane, and are thus unavailable for summoning.  We apologize for any inconvenience.

Was it that, or could they just not be bothered to help us?

Oh lol, I was trying to figure out what was so special about it. Then I saw it

[Lancefighter]

Silly question - I was maybe somewhat interested in streaming it.. Does arcen really have a stance on that?

(not really sure who would *watch* it, but thats a different question)

I don't know, but from my perspective it seems like it would ruin the experience for some.

Some players want to enjoy the game, and streaming it would be like a bad temptation for now since they have no other way to get access to AVWW. I think it would be best to do a stream at beta time when everything is "in place" and those who want to play can.

On the other hand, freedoms, , yadda yadda, not my game to decide, et al.

[madcow]

I think Chris said earlier that he would rather it not be publicized too much due to a) ruining the experience of future testers and b) it still being alpha/beta so not wanting to leave a bad impression. Though he also said he wouldn't try to stop it or anything.

[tigersfan]

I've not talked to Chris about this specifically, but I'd say I prefer you wait till we hit beta. This way our alpha testers have a better chance of getting clean impressions of the game. Once we hit beta, feel free to stream it all you want.
