Heh, I decided to stay home this time. Had to turn down a few parties but I didn't want to deal with Chicagoan drivers during midnight. Now I'm glad I did! A nice quiet evening, but that may just be the antisocial me talking.
Also, there were more clues, but my router keeps giving me DNS problems and I got mapserved at one point.

I really do hope there is more communication with the players. I remember a time where you could at least expect a post a day or more on the weekdays. Sometimes even on the weekends. Some of them were for just chatting up, others gave us insight into how something worked and why it worked that way.|

With that said, I don't mind a lack of developer communication. ...that much.

It's just Jay. It means nothing. He was taunting me because I killed him first for 4 years in a row in the hurt and heal games. This year will make 5 in a row.

The night has come and gone and no dev post which leads me to two conclusions.
Our leg was being pulled, considering the source of the clue. The other possibility is that it simply meant the devs would be more communicative through the forums in 2011 than they were last year.

Kinda the same. I was wrapping up for bed and hopped on around this time, but everyone on my global was in the Hive or in RWZ for some holiday events. Wish I knew this was happening, I'd have gladly punk'd Posi for some nuclear New Year smokes. |

I was not aware awesome ever left the game
Does not always detect CoH
well, the moon thing seemed more like him doing jokes than anything, the more costumes will be nice, i'd of course like a quantification of a slew, i suspect my definition is different and likely completely unrealistic. and proliferation will make at least one lizard quite happy i think, particularly if it gives scrappers something strong.. nothing concrete(wouldnt expect it really), but nice
and yeah, i see awesome still being in the game, seemed that gr did some major kick-start of the game again, but more good is always welcome.

Well, Jay did mention proliferation. There are a lot of likely candidates in there. Psi Blast and FF for Corrs, or Ice or Fire for Stalkers. I'm just hoping for Dark Blasters or Doms.

I changed the title! I didn't mean to imply that the game had lost its awesome, but it was late, and I may or may not have rushed to post this thread.

No? Didn't think so.
So certainly far less splendid for us then. Or, if you're an EU subscriber, business as usual.

Didn't see any mention of Pinnacle, my home server on that list of dev stops. Even if they had dropped by, I would have missed it all, being asleep since I had to get up 5 hours after this event.|

You can't please everybody.

True you can't and fair play, that list only mentions the higher populated NA servers.
But this and getting to test the Winter Event? I'm not the kind to keep score but the term 'neglected' springs to mind. However, this is pretty much what players on the EU servers have come to expect.
An EU visit would be nice but I'm not going to hold my breath. It wouldn't be good for my longevity.

I wish the servers had a list merger. Maybe put some highlight to differentiate EU and NA servers but they could be freely accessed by either.

Anyway, still good to see some Dev interaction with the players so that is at least one small hope I can feel good about.

: Yak mounts!
: Fire based... something? Maybe it's flaming balls and reports!
: Moon zone! Or a Jupiter zone!
: Yet another moon based clue!
: Will Brutes finally get their Icy fury cravings?
: Just a general comment on things to come!
: That there's going to be a post later tonight? Will any dev be sober enough to write a legible post?
Edit: Adding the pictures!
