Serafina if you go to each of them... those are the pics that will be on the back of the t-shirts
Iimzodar ooo can we get those Tshirts? :)))
Serafina font class="DevTeam">Iimzodar... if you are on the team you can :-)
Serafina those are the actual game characters
Serafina and creatures

Becoming a Part of History:
Chizi-jibini Hey Serafina....ummm...can I ask you a question? If it's one you can't answer you can tell me....
Serafina Chizi-jibini.. what's the question?
Chizi-jibini Wooo...ok, SO you've said that you're going to integrate the official factions into the history, right?
Serafina Chizi-jibini... yes
Serafina Chizi-jibini.. at least the ones that are appropriate
Chizi-jibini So, are official factions gonna start the game with some initial set up?
Serafina Chizi-jibini.. .don't know yet.. maybe
Serafina it is possible that we will leave whatever people make during beta in the release, but that has not yet been decided.
Serafina The current thinking is that whatever people build during beta will be left during release, however, all ownership will be wiped out... which means your fortress may still be there, but you are going to have to start from ground zero to get it back.
Synon|FoA ok, so its just character wipe? not world
Serafina Synon|FoA... these are just ideas at this point. I'm not really sure
Synon|FoA Alright
Chizi-jibini When you say appropriate, I would obviously not expect you to put in the bit about my faction once ruling an ancient empire, but would you still include the history from about a hundred years before?
Serafina Chizi-jibini... I don't know yet.. it hasn't been written in yet

On Beta Testing:
DarkSoul Do you expect to start outside testing within the next 5 months?
Serafina DarkSoul... I don't know. It will depend on how fast we decide to sign a publisher.
EolirinXianve Serafina? Would most of us get into early testing phases?
Serafina DarkSoul... I don't know. It will depend on how fast we decide to sign a publisher.
Serafina EolirinXianve... depends on what you define as "early" and what our publisher has to say about it
Serafina Synon|FoA... hehe.. like I said, just ideas at this point. Maybe we will allow certain well-known characters turn their characteres into GM's
Serafina Taraturg.. World Fusion funds Atriarch right now. World Fusion is a software engineering company that's been around for 13 years.

GMs:
Serafina the issue with the GM's is that there would be many constraints and rules around what you could do
Serafina you may not want to do it
Synon|FoA Serafina, be VERY strick about the GM powers and how they use them, trust me, it will get out of hand =)
Serafina will be expected to roleplay
Serafina GM's
Serafina hehe
Serafina well, if there are no regulations, then it could be a horrible mess
Serafina we will probably have a tiered system like the other games.
Serafina the bottom tier will probably be Guides
Serafina but Guides will be different than in EQ
Serafina in Atriarch, Guides will truly be Guides.. they will take you places; give you directions; and help you find things
Serafina the plan for Atriarch is that GM's will actual paid customer service reps in the game
Serafina Synon|FoA... yes, but these people will be given special Guide Avatars in exchange for staying in character and roleplaying and being happy and helpful 100% of the time
EolirinXianve So Serafina... what you're essentially looking for are incharacter disney employees :)
Serafina ok, I think I've given enough out for today :-)
Serafina EolirinXianve.. that is kind of what I was going for, but more elegant

Torture sweet Torture:
Taraturg This is Serafina's form of ritualistic torture, she feeds us scraps and watches us grovel for more
Serafina hehe... I gave more than scraps today
poq you're
eakin' mah heart
Serafina poq... but I hang out in here all the time
Serafina if you rather, I won't come in here at all and instead I'll post on the boards
poq er, nevermind
Serafina I can't do both

Props from someone who's probably a lot younger than me:
poq Herok from CoA's a nice kid, though
poq woo

Teaser Pleaser:
Serafina|Email I've been thinking about releasing some creature animations.
Serafina|Email hmm... no, nevermind
Serafina|Email goes back to emails.
Serafina|Email no, I really was thinking about it, but then I'm just a little too paranoid of people copying us
