And I think the estimated number of posted words may be a bit on the low side.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

I don't think 'estimated' and '~' are gonna cut it here..
Seriously though thanks for all the time you have put into raising awareness and helping educate the masses. Cheers.

Great game while it lasts.

Fun thing about Arcana's posts is even when she's having fun her posts generally have high amounts of content. Kinda like Mot in a way, I suppose.
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!

I'd like to echo this sentiment. Your posts are consistently informative, fun, and also kinda make me think you're secretly an AI embedded inside the Paragon server banks. Congrats.

My average post, based on some review, seems to be something like this: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...&postcount=211. About 170ish words. Sometimes shorter, sometimes mega-longer.
On the older forums, on two separate occasions I can remember, not even counting things like posting offline-written guides, I typed out a post that hit the post size limit for those boards (that limit was close to the size of the first part of the four-part scrapper mitigation analysis post linked in my sig, which was broken about there to accommodate that limit). The first one was a post comparing the damage output of Illusion control including the pets vs energy blast for blasters. The second was an analysis of ED.
What you see today is my gradually editing downward from those days.
Although I outdo Rowling at least five to one, Rowling's per-word profit margin appears to be significantly higher than mine. Rowling has made almost a thousand dollars a word. I've made... lets see here... according to my calculations: less.

So whats the ETA of Arcanaville 1.1?

My focus will probably be in the two most commonly requested areas:
1. Customization
Many players have asked for their Arcanaville posts to be customizable. Some would prefer calculations to be suppressible. Others have asked for the posts to have alternate languages, such as Rikti, Swedish Chef, or English.
2. Reward Smoothing
Its clear the payoff for reading an Arcanaville post needs to be reexamined. Many players have resorted to farming Arcanaville posts hoping to find a Very Rare information drop. Others have been dupin those rares and handing them out to other players, eliminating the need to read the content. I'm looking at a number of options here. A diminishing returns system where I begin the day sober and get increasingly inebriated and incoherent as the day progresses would frontload most of the information rewards into the first few posts, while the hardcore readers could still read everything and have a chance at me leaking the next Controller primary or Arbiter Hawk's phone number.

I was pretty sure that Arcanaville posts were already customizable. To whit:

You're still a piker compared to GoldenGirl.
Granted, her word count is probably lower and her emoticon count is probably something that'd make a nation-full of rabid text messagers blush.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Uh...cool, I guess?

You might want to update the system clock, Arcana.

Betty Grable wasn't topless. She was good enough for our boys in the war, she's good enough now! Kids these days!

I have posted one word posts on rare occasions, but I don't think any of them were one of those.
