Atriarch at E3 May 22-24, 2002
{Serafina} It looks as though we will have a booth at E3.
{Serafina} We will have a private conference room in the main hall.
{Serafina} I will confirm that on Monday.
{Korak} thought that is what you had last year?
{Korak} or did you do it all from the hotel room?
{Korak} Publisher giving you space?
{Serafina} nah, a PR firm
{Serafina} It isn't set in stone yet. We still may not be able to afford it. There are costs associated with it even though it isn't our booth.
{Serafina} no no, they don't have us as a client. They have extra space in their booth.
{DavidQuick} is the main hall the gaming stuff?
{Serafina} The entire conference is gaming stuff
{Serafina} well, I include hardware as part of gaming
{Serafina} In fact, I include everything as part of gaming :-)

ARC Trendmaker
{Korak} I was slightly shocked Arc read flipcode.com
{Korak} tell him kudos for attempting to stay somewhat current
{DavidQuick} Somewut current? dear god! the man codes on a typewriter!
{Serafina} lol
{Korak} you're not phunny.
{Korak} Don't encourage him!
Korak thwacks serafina with spork
{Serafina} Korak.. for staying somewhat current? roflmao! You fool. He writes what is current. puh!
{Serafina} Arc tells people what is current and by the time he says it, it is old and everyone is using passe stuff. {Korak} "Arc, part-time software engineer by day, secret scientist pushing the boundries of physics by night."
{Serafina} That sounds sexual to me for some reason.

Advertising vs. Talking it up
{Serafina} There was a thread on flipcode.com that I almost posted to, but didn't want to sound like I was advertising
{Korak} Serafina- hehe
{Korak} I do it quite frequently Serafina, however I feel terrible that I cannot tell people specifics of how things work in Atriarch...
{Talwin} Serafina Don't you advertise shamelessly whenever you have a chance?
{Serafina} The subject said something about there not being any more originality in games
{Korak} Which leaves most people with, "Been there done that, I don't buy it."
{Korak} Serafina, ever tried the angle of talking about two other up and coming original mmog works?
{Serafina} I responded... "you say that like it is a bad thing"
{Korak} Talk about Atriarch more, but add in ATITD and Adellion or Cosm
{Serafina} I talk about other games all the time.
{Korak} Then don't let advertising stop you Serafina!
{Serafina} I guess I'm saving up all my advertising cheer for E3.
{Serafina} I'll need an extra dose of it while I'm there.

Unarran BoothBabes
{Korak} Any booth babes going to be there "advertising" Atriarch, serafina?
{Korak} Maybe they should dress up as Unarrans.
{Korak} Unarrans, far far deadier and sexier than Elves.
{Serafina} Korak... of course
{Korak} slogan!
{Serafina} my sister and I are going out to buy new padded push-up bras just for the occasion :-)
{Serafina} yup
{Korak} sweet.
{Korak} hoping Herok goes and takes a camera
{Serafina} Herok will not be able to make this year.

Pre-Release
{Serafina} apparently, Atriarch has released five days ago
{Hunter} hmm?
{Serafina} CGO Release Dates
{Hunter} heh
{Serafina} Someone forgot to tell me about it.

Other Games
{Serafina} How is Dungeon Siege?
{Hunter} its cool from what I hear
{Hunter} looks amazing
{Serafina} I guess it must for everyone to be so quiet around here.
{DavidQuick} its a fun d2 type game
{EolirinXianve} I found D2 fun... for about 3 weeks.
{EolirinXianve} Would DS hold my attention longer?
{DavidQuick} d2 is a story based single player game eol how long did you want it to last for?
{Serafina} When you say D2, you mean Diablo 2?
{Chungwa-wema|DM} Story based?
{DavidQuick} aye
{Serafina} I liked Diablo 1 & 2. I played them for a long time.

If it walks like a duck
{DavidQuick} d2: the mighty ducks!
{Serafina} I played hockey at the Disney Ice
{Iroko} DS is crack. But it's not even good crack.
{Chungwa-wema|DM} Hrm, I need to come up with $2500us to go to school in the states...
{Serafina} I practiced on the ice next to the Mighty Ducks
{DavidQuick} I played ice hockey once
{DavidQuick} this was during the disney on ice show however
{Serafina} I decided a good way to learn to skate was to join an ice hockey team.
{Serafina} They thought taking me on was better than doing charity work at a hospital, so it worked out well.
{DavidQuick} heh cool
{Serafina} I sucked. I was just plain awful.
{Serafina} My mom came to one of my games and laughed at me the whole time.
{Serafina} She said, everyone kept whizzing past you so fast.
{Serafina} ya, she was laughing until I checked one of them. no more laughing after that.
{DavidQuick} Eol: I have no clue.
Serafina grins maniacally.
{DavidQuick} haha ouch, sorry
{Serafina} Needless to say, I was not allowed on the team the next season.
{Serafina} Something about me being dangerous or some nonsense like that

Other Game: Publisher Woes
{DavidQuick} SB's publishers are taking a load of shit. They wont allow anyone outside the us to play on the us servers and vice vrs. I hope to god that doesnt happen with AT
{Serafina} puh!
{Serafina} DavidQuick... yes, I was just reading that.
{Serafina} I can't believe how much suckage that is.
{Serafina} Especially for people who play on off hours. It keeps the world populated with people during all time zones instead of there being a huge dead spot of time.
{Serafina} But what can they do? They have two publishers. That's just the way it goes.
{DavidQuick} I can understand the reasoning behind it, mainly to adviod cordination and paperwork headaches, but it still sucks
{Serafina} Ya, it sucks, but what would suck more is if WP didn't get money to finish the game.
{Serafina} That would definitely suck more.
{DavidQuick} heh just a tad
{Serafina} so, it sucks, but it is lessor evil

E3 Reprise
{DavidQuick} oh well. So when ya gonna know about the e3 thing?
{DavidQuick} getting a room i mean
{Serafina} What E3 thingy?
{Serafina} oh, you mean a room for Atriarch... hehe... my mind wondered off thinking you were talking about something totally different
{Serafina} I'll know one way or another on Tuesday
