{Serafina} Not all 50 are new.
{Serafina} He made a mistake on that.
{DavidQuick} some of the new renders include the fem unarra design
{Noghri|FoA} 30 of them are new
{Serafina} approximately
{Noghri|FoA} eah
{Noghri|FoA} yeah
{Serafina} and they aren't all screenshots... only 20 are new screenshots.
{DavidQuick} So the animation of a charactor riding a shap is sorta liek hang gliding?
{Serafina} DavidQuick... that was just a rendering. It doesn't exist yet in the world, but it will.
{DavidQuick} http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/story.jsp?story=288983
{Noghri|FoA} anyone got some cool contest ideas they would be willing to share?
{Noghri|FoA} haha DQ
{Serafina} Synon is starting up a new contest.
{Serafina} I'm starting up a new contest soon too. Define the history and/or profile of City of Trelos.
{Serafina} We have screenshots of a new area that we are going to release and then put a Community even around it.
{Synon|FoA} wohoooo!!!
{Serafina} I don't know the schedule for doing that, but at some point.
{Noghri|FoA} Serafina, question about that
{Noghri|FoA} is that somehting we make up or have to research?
{Serafina} Something you make up
{Synon|FoA} So who's Atrios? ;)
{Noghri|FoA} good
{Synon|FoA} I mean
{Synon|FoA} Altoos
{Serafina} I give you the screenshots of the area and you guys think up why it exists, how it came to be that way, the personality of the townsfolk living there, resources available there, etc
{DavidQuick} w00t
{Noghri|FoA} the founding of Trelos, or the like actual history kind of thing?
{Noghri|FoA} i see
{Noghri|FoA} because i could make up a mad founding story
{Serafina} Trelos is already built... well, a good portion of it anyway.
{Synon|FoA} What continent is it on?
{DavidQuick} Trelos is the Eshlar one?
{Serafina} We have a history and background for it, but I'd rather everyone else participated in building this.
{Synon|FoA} awww... so the winning wont get his/her history/background used?
{Serafina} We have Trelos on the Unarran continent, but it doesn't have to be. We can move it if the story warrants.
{Synon|FoA} winner*
{Serafina} Synon|FoA... no no... we throw out our version and use the winner's.
{Synon|FoA} Ohhhh!!!!!
{Noghri|FoA} cool
{Synon|FoA} Way cool!

Upcoming Community Creature Crucible Contest
{Terralos} Since the creature crucible event is no longer valid, I was wondering if the glossary event still is or not
{Serafina} What creature crucible event?
{Serafina} hehe.. Terralos... LOL! I am actually happy you asked about that.
{Serafina} We are going to start a new crucible contest which will be pretty fun :-)
{Terralos} cool =]
{Serafina} Sometime sooner than soon, we will begin to post a player-creature of the day.
{Terralos} is someone actually going to wade through all the creatures, or will the creature of the day be selected from the most recent entries only?
{Serafina} Terralos... we will probably do it in chunks of 10 starting from the beginning
{Serafina} or chunks of 50
{Serafina} That way, we don't miss anything.
{Terralos} Thats cool. I have seen some earlier ones that are fantastic
{Serafina} Yes, so have I.
{Serafina} I can't believe the imaginations of some of these people! They are amazing!
{Serafina} I love the Atriarch community! You guys are so cool!
{Terralos} im new to it. very
{Serafina} That doesn't matter. I love you too Terralos!
{Serafina} Welcome!
{Terralos} =] thanks

The Missing Year
{Serafina} yes, but I don't count 2001, so it has really only been 2 years
{Talwin} I remember Serafina saying "We have a website in development"
{Xanvis} Serafina, I didn't know things were THAT hard on you guys last year
{Serafina} Some of you probably remember th estory.
{Serafina} Xanvis... they weren't as hard as it sounds in the article. It was harder. He was just nice enough not to publish everything.
{Talwin} 2001 might not have been stellar but yer still here
{Talwin} The game still exists
{Serafina} On top of all that happening, we went through a nasty legal battle and two close people in my family died about 4 months apart
{Xanvis} I'm glad you guys are hiring back the people you had to fire
{Serafina} Xanvis... yes, we started hiring back in January I think.
{Serafina} Now keep in mind that World Fusion is a family business... so when family members die, it hits all of us, not just me
{Xanvis} Well, glad you're doing well, Serafina
{Serafina} Yesssssss! Things are getting better! Woohoo!
{Serafina} 2001 was a wretched and vile year.
{Xanvis} And here i thought it was just "slow"
{Serafina} Xanvis... yes, I think a lot of people thought that. I also think a lot of people thought we were ignoring the community. It had nothing to do with that. We were truly getting our teeth kicked in everywhere we turned.
{Serafina} but that is old news!
{Serafina} Since 2001 doesn't exist on my calendar, I have no bad memories of it! hehe
{Xanvis} Well, you guys said you were busy, so I assumed you were just busy
{Serafina} It isn't always a good thing to tell everyone everything, even if they think you are ignoring them.
{Serafina} especially when legal matters are concerned
{Serafina} Unfortuantely, it did set us back on our schedule by a whole year which sucks, but we do what we have to. The good news is that we are resilient.
{Xanvis} Schedule, shmedule.. as long as you guys are doing well
