Well I got my tablet yesterday and was able to play around with it a bit, so hopefully tonight or tomorrow I'll try my hand at something. Just the little bit I was able to do yesterday testing was impressive compared to trying to do it with the mouse.

Quote:I plan to hit up union since I'm almost out of slots on Virtue.Originally Posted by Dante
Hi! And hello from Union.
Union is the unofficial EU RP server and from what I can tell from the community, not many of them will be abandoning it any time soon. So yes, there will be another RP friendly server coming your way.
What I will tell you in advance though is that the RP is not as prevalent as it is on Virtue. You normally have to look in the usual places to find it like Pocket D, Supergroups and around a little statue in Galaxy City.
But we're here and looking forward to seeing some Virtue roleplayers sometime soon.
And yeah, I'll be coming over to Virtue as well as I'm almost out of slots on Union.
Union, from what I've gathered while working on UnionVerse has a smaller community but it seems (at least from the outside) to be a bit more cohesive then the organized rolling chaos we have on Virtue.
I'm actually mulling a bit now on what sort of additional connections may be needed between VirtueVerse and UnionVerse now, if anything. -
Quote:I don't see that ever happening to be fair, while I appreciate what Titan has done with the OuroPortal its a completely different beast when compared to either VirtueVerse or UnionVerse. Both of the server wikis are very much community oriented to the specific server and its RP communities. The sites also cater to far greater creative freedom and are not limited by the T for Teen rating.Originally Posted by Shadow State
You could always see about folding those into Ouroboros Portal.
Also its important to note that VirtueVerse alone has over 26,000 pages compared to the 3K on Ouroportal. And both VirtueVerse and UnionVerse were around well before Ouroportal.
To the topic on hand, I'll keep an eye out to see if anyone I know if looking for something extra to go on a resume and send them along. -
If I wasn't already running/maintaining VirtueVerse and UnionVerse on my own I'd offer up some help with front end web dev. But the wiki's already have my up to my eyeballs, so good luck finding people.

Hey guys! I just want to give you a update of how the Cookie Brigade did this year raising money for Child's Play.
The candy was very well received and everyone liked the doodles, they thought it added a nice personal touch!
We raised over $9,600 while giving away the tasty cookies and candy and presented it to Tycho and Gabe at the closing ceremonies on Sunday. This was $2,000 more then the previous record at PAX Prime 2010!
I also sent Avatea back to Paragon Studios with some candy for War Witch and gave Positron a package of the candy with the Positron doodle.
Thanks guys! -
WOW!
I am so so so immensely happy I checked here tonight before going to bed. We just got in a couple hours ago after driving home from Boston (yay PAX). Unfortunately not long after getting home we had some terrible drama involving a towing company and one of our cars and this just totally made me feel so much better. I couldn't even hope to put it into words.
Goat, Soobooku, CR, I <3 you guys, you've just totally made my night.
I'm going to look over everything you guys have done, I'm making some attempts to learn coloring/shading and I'm picking up a Wacom tablet probably this weekend. So hopefully with some practice I can get better.
Okay i'm going to bed before I get to excited and can't sleep. >_< -
Bit later then I'd hoped, running a bit behind getting ready for PAX. I honestly wish I had more then one Animal Pack to give away, because you guys each did a good job with pictures and write ups.
It was definitely a tough choice, but the winner of the Animal Pack is StormVyxen. I personally liked the first person touch to the writing, the creative concept of tying a badgers to a person who seeks badges. The tipping scale for this entry though was the very vicious and interesting looking costume that used the honey badger colors black with white.
I'll PM everyone else to get your global names, there were only 4 total entries so everyone who entered will get something. Thanks guys! You all made me either laugh, smile or grin reading the write ups and looking over the pictures. -
Grats to the winner!

Was able to squeeze in some more time. Subtle difference. Cleaned up the inking in the hair. Working my way throughout the details now to clean up the inking as I get time.
Edit: Sorry if there is a lot of time between when I post stuff. Between getting ready for PAX and work I don't have much free goof off time and its a bit time consuming to do the lines with a mouse.
-
Mmm Kings cake. Makes me want to hit the french place next door to buy one on my way home.
I'm going to be shameless and enter:
-
Last day for entries! I'll close out the contest at midnight EST and begin selecting the winners.

Quote:And its been postponed again, I can't make changes tonight because of some changes the host is making. -_- really want to do this before I go to PAX but the fates are working against me.Originally Posted by ransim
Maintenance unfortunately did not happen this weekend and has been postponed to tonight. So please expect some downtime this evening while I perform the needed site upgrades.
(Pre-PAX insanity ruled my weekend sorry!)
In hopes of being somewhat productive I've created an in game global channel for the site. Users are welcome to join, the channel is OOC for discussion about VirtueVerse and RP.
The channel is public and open to all, please keep it civil.

Quote:This has been my experience, and I'll note I had my SS/EA long before EA got any sort of Dev loving. It was enjoyable all the way to 50 on SOs.Originally Posted by Test_Rat
I run a Fire melee/Energy Aura, which I rolled looking for the weakest set possible to run.
I was surprized when at the end of the day I got a toon that:
- Keeps its softcap down to level 20,
- is Even deeper softcapped at 50,
- has no energy issues whatsoever,
- has a 1000 Point Plus Self heal when surrounded by foes.
- has a practially crashless BEST T9 in the game.
- effortlessly farms Malta, Carnies, Rogue Mu, Longbow, Ascended PPD
- has 25% ranged defense to fill the Psi/toxic hole. (Popping lucks or a team fills it to cap).
The forums will tell you that Energy Aura is the bottom performer.
I won't argue against that, but I can tell you that EA performs very well and you can do all the content in the game with it no problem, and when IO'd its performance impresses.
My SS/EA now with a fairly cheap IO build (no purples) easily outdoes my other half SS/WP. I team with people often who balk at the idea of a /EA brute and usually end up stunned at how awesome it is convinced I must have some crazy purpled build.
But its not a min/max set, so the forums will continue to poo poo it. Though how anyone could think DA is better then EA I will never understand. DA is just downright PAINFUL to play until you can get it IO'd. -
Both myself and @Robziel will be attending the official Boston Meet & Greet.

*sighs remembering wistfully a time when she actually had time for this*
Dang responsibility and life. Least I can live vicariously through watching you guys participate. -
Quote:Yeah I had mine updated on a complete lark, I'd been in canceling my Aion sub and just randomly checked my settings. It seems like NCSoft didn't give the community people much warning that this change was happening immediately.Originally Posted by DJ_Shecky
Yeah, I called support. They had everything cleared in under 30 minutes. I've heard of the horror stories so I expected the worst, and got really good service.
No I hadn't seen the post that the changes had gone into effect. If I had known a day or two in advance I would have double checked all my info so I wouldn't have had the problem. -
Quote:Did you see the post by Beastyle about the changes and how to contact support if you have issues with the new system? (Not being facetious/snarky just linking it in case you missed it!) They did mention they're dealing with a fairly massive amount of support tickets though because this change was apparently across all NCSoft games.Originally Posted by DJ_Shecky
Stupid new login for the NCSoft site won't accept my security answers, which means that I can't update my billing info. so middle of the month if this is not resolved, well I'm out of luck and will be offline.
Thanks for the stupid change to the login system.
Thankfully I had all of my stuff set up so it went smoothly for me but that definitely sucks the big one. Good luck! -

UnionVerse Maintenance
We'll be performing Maintenance on Union and Virtue verse this weekend. Maintenance will be performed to upgrade a few server services and will last for several hours. The site will be locked or unavailable for the duration of the maintenance. Start and end of the maintenance period will be announced on the VirtueVerse twitter account.
Target time for the maintenance will be later evening hours on Friday or Saturday.

Quote:A PA forum member made an app last year for us Android users called PAX Assistant. Its actually quite good.Originally Posted by SerialBeggar
I was reading Penny-Arcade today and they mentioned an app = http://conventionist.com/ for managing you PAX schedule.
I plan to use both myself since this is the first year the conventionist will be available for droid users. -
Quote:Robziel had this happen, it was pretty hilarious, though a restart fixed it.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Yeah, your emote/animation table was corrupted.
But his force field generator had the fly trap attached to it, and lots of other types of insanity.
We got a good laugh out of it. -
Quote:What exactly is the capacity going to be like? The event space for PAX Prime last year was tiny and only moderately sized for East. Assuming since its for three games it'll be bigger, I hope.Originally Posted by Beastyle
That's correct, there's no need to RSVP. The event will be first come, first serve to capacity.
