Re: Time IG vs Time in RL

Imperious' suggestion about ruins reminded me... Even though we'll be starting over with a batch of new characters, I'm assuming that Vives 2 will contain references to Vives 1, like any good sequel. Sometimes I imagine this as hammy easter eggs, sometimes as a second opportunity to discover things that I didn't figure out in Vives 1.
Will there be a heritage lottery to protect the ruins of ancient Midor? Expeditions to rediscover forested Ferein, tumbling down like some Mayan city (or under a glacier, or buried up to its spires in sand?). Starting to sound like Gamma World there... Will Port Royale be renamed Port Jessup and Buckshire designated as Fenniganburgh, their origins forgotten altogether? I don't expect these places to have so transparent a presence in Vives 2, but I'd like something of our present server to be discoverable in the new one. |

Yep.... It'll contain references *zips shut lips* |

I could see the possibility of a deserted interior leftover from the Happy Harpy Hall The cult of Wilhelmites in the nation of Wilhelmia? ;D |

| A lot of time will have passed between V1 and V2. The clues will a bit more subtle. |

We currently have 2 builders and about 3 scripters. 1 of those builders is super hyperactive. 1 of them is semi-active. All 3 of our scripters are buried under an avalanche of RL-ness.
The delay in the release of V2 comes from having only 2 builders. Ara will confirm that building a single area takes a very long time (about 20 tries per area, starting from scratch with each consecutive try). So we have been really, really, really picky about the design of each area, and which areas we will actually build. Every single area has to be special, and our building guidelines for V2 are very strict.
Actually.........
I'm thinking of putting something similar in for launchI hope to get it in, but time will tell :)
Yeah... I thought I'd try my hand at a little bit of building in NWN2... it's VERY involved and I had a hard time getting it to work... not even talking about bugs, yet.
Has anyone contacted Vulpina? I know that she has built some things that are very cool in NWN2. Maybe you might be able to get her on board? I love her work anyways. I'm sure the DMs and Moderators have a way to track her, but if you don't, I think I have her email... let me know. Especially since Marrya, Dana and Nadia played such large roles in Vives1 for over 2 years.
Thank you guys. You are awesome!

I haven't seen her about for quite some time...... she building just for fun? Or is she attached to another project?
We certainly need help with building....... so it would be interesting to see what she's done, and also whether she'd be interested in building with us :)
Maybe you can drop her a line?
cheers
