[16:00] {Venn_Fairweather} Now, now...
[16:00] {Twylah_Skye} Something more creative than "A" this time, I hope.
[16:00] {Emza} lol
[16:00] {deKaff} So no one ever heard of Strong Hold?
[16:00] {HGS_Shadow} When Jesse shows up, we had better make sure its really him.
[16:01] {Cobby} to change names - right click your name and choose edit profile
[16:01] {Kit5150} once he came in as Jay_Adan
[16:01] {Dragon} Well, why don't we go ahead an get started, and if Jesse shows up we can move on from there
[16:01] {PurpleAnt} done that
[16:01] {HGS_Shadow} He also impersonated Dragon.
[16:01] {Golem_XIV} ill brb
[16:01] {Cobby} Sounds good Dragon
[16:01] {Cyber_Jay} Who did that?
[16:02] {PurpleAnt} what?
[16:02] {Twylah_Skye} I can impersonate Emza... I'll just type with a British accent.

[16:03] {Cyber_Jay} .........now!
[16:03] {deKaff} ..
[16:03] {UConnBBall} is that offical Jay? :)
[16:03] {Twylah_Skye} :)
[16:03] {God_of_death} jay
[16:03] {Your_Majesty} so no special format? Just fire away?
[16:03] {Cyber_Jay} Sure,.
[16:03] {PurpleAnt} what gave you the idea for the quest?
[16:03] {God_of_death} did you find the name healia from the original sun god?
[16:03] {God_of_death} Helia
[16:04] {God_of_death} the greek sun god?
[16:04] {Golem_XIV} there greek sun god was one of the titans
[16:04] {Cyber_Jay} All of the original elements of the game...
[16:04] {Golem_XIV} i cant remeber which
[16:04] {CL_MisterSound} The name was definitly influenced, god
[16:04] {God_of_death} ahh yes ok
[16:04] {Cyber_Jay} were based on either mythical or...
[16:04] {Cyber_Jay} literary references of some sort.
[16:04] {HGS_Shadow} What about Dauros?
[16:04] {Cyber_Jay} Well, most of them anyway.
[16:05] {PurpleAnt} and Fervus?
[16:05] {CL_MisterSound} Take a wild guess about the name Krolm
[16:05] {PurpleAnt} Kraft cheese
[16:05] {Twylah_Skye} Sounds like a toothpaste.
[16:05] {Dragon} hmmmm Conan?
[16:05] {HGS_Shadow} Hunnish?
[16:05] {PurpleAnt} lol Twy
[16:05] {Cyber_Jay} KROM - from Conan.
[16:05] {Twylah_Skye} No, no, that's Krelm
[16:05] {CL_MisterSound} Hint - What is best in life?
[16:05] {Cyber_Jay} (Or is it Crom?)
[16:05] {Twylah_Skye} LOL (obscure Monty Python reference)
[16:05] {Kit5150} Crumb?
[16:06] {CL_MisterSound} Fervis = Fenris
[16:06] {CL_MisterSound} i believe
[16:06] {PurpleAnt} I'm still puzzled
[16:06] {Golem_XIV} ??? who's fenris
[16:06] {God_of_death} krypta is easy
[16:06] {Dragon} What was the inspiration for the quest (besides the name)?
[16:06] {HGS_Shadow} I know! Crackers!
[16:06] {God_of_death} cryptology
[16:06] {CL_MisterSound} Nordic wolf
[16:06] {God_of_death} the study of the dead
[16:06] {Cyber_Jay} You'd have to ask Jesse about the quest, and he hasn't arrived yet.
[16:06] {Dragon} OK, we'll skip those questions for now
[16:06] {Twylah_Skye} I am sooooooooo lost here. What the heck are we discussing?
[16:06] {RLolaR} agreed
[16:06] {Golem_XIV} you can tell us about the exansion while we wait
[16:07] {HGS_Shadow} Krolm... I think.
[16:07] {Cyber_Jay} The Taxonomy of Ardanian gods.
[16:07] {Venn_Fairweather} Uhhhhhhhh,,,,,,,
[16:07] {PurpleAnt} the symbol for the ROK spell is misleadingly cute - little bear paw innit
[16:07] {Your_Majesty} So is the Northern Expansion still slated for an October release?
[16:07] {CL_MisterSound} THe expansion really makes multiplayer a lot of fun
[16:07] {God_of_death} I think you should replace "," with "."
[16:07] {Cyber_Jay} Yes..
[16:07] {Twylah_Skye} I've still got vacation-brain-lag... go slowly for us handicapped peoples. LOL
[16:08] {Cyber_Jay} I have a bit of news about that actually.
[16:08] {Your_Majesty} Sweet... need another fix...
[16:08] {PurpleAnt} oooh
[16:08] {Your_Majesty} spill it Jay
[16:08] {God_of_death} I hope it's good news
[16:08] {Your_Majesty} I bet we get it earlier
[16:08] * HGS_Shadow waits with silent anticipation while Jay writes his post.
[16:08] {UConnBBall} you can even tell us a secret were all freinds and no one will tell :)
[16:08] {Cyber_Jay} The Northern Expansion is going to be available only through a few online software dealers.
[16:08] {HGS_Shadow} Doh!
[16:08] {Your_Majesty} get outta here
[16:08] {Your_Majesty} really?
[16:08] {Kit5150} like MFO?
[16:09] {Twylah_Skye} What????
[16:09] {Kit5150} ;-)
[16:09] {Twylah_Skye} Why?????
[16:09] {PurpleAnt} not all american, I hope
[16:09] {deKaff} Fine by me
[16:09] {Cyber_Jay} Amazon.com, EBWorld.com, Gamestop.com
[16:09] {UConnBBall} wow majesty under sold that much
[16:09] {Dragon} So that is a definite now?
[16:09] {Cyber_Jay} Yes, that is definitely.
[16:09] {Your_Majesty} why was this decesion made?
[16:09] {God_of_death} why not reatil stores?
[16:09] {Golem_XIV} only on line not in stores
[16:09] {Kit5150}
[plug] if its thru amazon, you can get it thru MFO
[/plug]
[16:09] {PurpleAnt} what about amazon.co.UK?
[16:09] {HGS_Shadow} What are the chances for Majesty 2?
[16:09] {RagingSpirit} hello
[16:09] {Your_Majesty} just when I cut up all my credit cards too :-(
[16:09] {Your_Majesty} thats no lie
[16:09] {God_of_death} this is like a press conference
[16:09] {Twylah_Skye} Awwwwwwww
[16:09] {RagingSpirit} i thought there would be more people here then that...
[16:10] {Cyber_Jay} It's getting close to Christmas release time and Majesty hasn't made a huge impression on the retailers...
[16:10] {tiger700} Hi guys! :)
[16:10] {HGS_Shadow} Definately get it through MFO. It helps them finance tournaments and such.
[16:10] {God_of_death} 21 isn't enough?
[16:10] * Twylah_Skye pats Your Majesty on the back in consolation.
[16:10] {Cyber_Jay} ...They want to save shelf space for high-profile, sexy games.
[16:10] {PurpleAnt} naked cultists!!!!!! think of that!!!!
[16:10] {UConnBBall} crap
[16:10] {Dragon} Deer hunter...etc.
[16:10] {RagingSpirit} =)
[16:10] {Golem_XIV} man my parents wont let me get it then
[16:10] {RLolaR} lol
[16:10] {God_of_death} god
[16:10] {Cyber_Jay} Rather than give up shelf space for an expansion to Majesty.
[16:10] {RagingSpirit} naked cultists
[16:10] {Golem_XIV} oh well
[16:10] {UConnBBall} can you guys just hold it till the slow season
[16:10] {Kit5150} the priestesses are sexy...oh um ahem
[16:10] {Twylah_Skye} Naked cultists... ugh.
[16:10] {God_of_death} naked WoD's and barbarians
[16:10] {PurpleAnt} lol Kit
[16:10] {RLolaR} retail price?
[16:10] {Twylah_Skye} Well, better than naked Barbs.
[16:11] {PurpleAnt} they're already pretty naked
[16:11] {Venn_Fairweather} or naked Advisors
[16:11] {RLolaR} or should i say on line price...
[16:11] {Twylah_Skye} ROFL, Ven!!!!!!
[16:11] {tiger700} Look what you started Jay lol
[16:11] {PurpleAnt} ooh yeah, Venn {s}
[16:11] {Cyber_Jay} Ooo... Retail price. I believe that it will be $30.
[16:11] {Dragon} Do you have an exact online release date yet?
[16:11] {CL_MisterSound} I'm down with that your Majesty
[16:11] {God_of_death} AFK
[16:11] {Cyber_Jay} No. No specific release date yet.
[16:11] {CL_MisterSound} Oh, Venn
[16:11] {UConnBBall} $30 bucks wow
[16:11] {Cyber_Jay} We're finishing up the packaging this week.
[16:11] {UConnBBall} and you guys advertised northern expanse big time
[16:11] {Venn_Fairweather} That you Jack?
[16:12] {CL_MisterSound} yep
[16:12] {Cyber_Jay} (I'm not 100% sure about the price.
[16:12] {HGS_Shadow} BTW, What exactly does the "sound engineer" do?
[16:12] {Your_Majesty} Jay: how many unit of Majesty have you guys moved?
[16:12] {RLolaR} Jay, what happened to delay the release? At Gencon I was told that it had already gone gold...
[16:12] {Dragon} How does that affect the possibility of a Majesty 2?
[16:12] {CL_MisterSound} Crush my enemies, See them...
[16:12] {PurpleAnt} who's the voice of the Avatar? he made me laugh with his Civilisation Reeks!
[16:12] {UConnBBall} Maj2 is dead I think never is going to happen
[16:12] {God_of_death} definitly a press conference
[16:12] {Cyber_Jay} Hasbro's been trying to convince the stores to pick it up.. I think that they were hoping that continued sales would convince them that it was worthwhile.
[16:12] {Golem_XIV} gone gold means that they have made the orgonal copies that they are going to copy all the other ones on
[16:13] {Cyber_Jay} I wouldn't give up on Maj2 UCONN.
[16:13] {CL_MisterSound} I design the sound effects, record the voices basically everything to do with sound in the game
[16:13] {Golem_XIV} ill brb
[16:13] {God_of_death} Yes
[16:13] {UConnBBall} Its like Music the crap sells Like Back Street Boys adn Britney Spears and good stuff suffers
[16:13] {UConnBBall} good to hear
[16:13] {Your_Majesty} so did MAJ sell more than 10,000 units?
[16:13] {CL_MisterSound} Venn is actually the voice for the Royal Advisor
[16:13] {tiger700} yeah how did it sell?
[16:13] {UConnBBall} chance of a "gold" majesty in spring?
[16:13] {RagingSpirit} i think that if majesty was at elast half as popular as aok there would be a chance that majesty 2 would make it, but with the poor on-line popularity i think that majesty 2 will never live...
[16:14] {RagingSpirit} elast=least
[16:14] {Cyber_Jay} Majesty sold MUCH more than 10,000 units - but far less than a million which seems to be the magic numebr these days.
[16:14] {tiger700} awwww
[16:14] {Twylah_Skye} Jeez, ya'll... didn't take your Optimistic Pills this morning, did ya?
[16:14] {UConnBBall} wow a million how many games sold that? 3 last year
[16:14] {Your_Majesty} 100,000 is a great number though. Did it sell that many?
[16:14] {Golem_XIV} to bad it is a good game
[16:14] {HGS_Shadow} What will happen with Cyberlore if they don't work on Maj2?
[16:14] {CL_MisterSound} It's still selling pretty steadily though
[16:14] {Kit5150} actually, the magic number in st louis is 11
[16:14] {Kit5150} ;-)
[16:14] {RagingSpirit} i don't get that..
[16:14] {RagingSpirit} :(
[16:14] {Your_Majesty} And 12 in S.F. GO GIANTS!
[16:14] {tiger700} that high eh?
[16:15] {Venn_Fairweather} spinal Tap?
[16:15] {Kit5150} baseball
[16:15] {Cyber_Jay} Majesty 2 is something that we are fully behind doing.
[16:15] {tiger700} hmmm
[16:15] {UConnBBall} good I am glad
[16:15] {Dragon} I'm still shooting for Majesty Online
[16:15] {RagingSpirit} i don't follow baseball that much.. just hate it.. no offence to any baseball fans out there
[16:15] {tiger700} is there anything planed for Maj2?
[16:15] {God_of_death} so have you finished NE,and testing it?
[16:15] {UConnBBall} Majesty really is a better game now in 1.3 wish it got sent out like this It would have gotten better reviews for MultiPlay
[16:15] {Cyber_Jay} MajX is in the can (as they say in the movie biddnesss)
[16:15] {Dragon} That's a good kind of can
[16:15] {Your_Majesty} sweeeeeeet.....
[16:15] {Cyber_Jay} I think that you're right, UCONN.
[16:16] {HGS_Shadow} Are you expecting Majesty 2 to have more types of temples, heros, etc.?
[16:16] {God_of_death} Do you think you should start putting the patches into the cd's?
[16:16] {God_of_death} when you sell them?
[16:16] {Your_Majesty} does anyone here want to talk about the 1.3 patch?
[16:16] {UConnBBall} So will NE have 2v2 capabilitites?
[16:16] {Cyber_Jay} I would expect so, Shadow, though I wouldn't want to start speculating howmany more.
[16:16] {Your_Majesty} it makes the game run slower
[16:16] {UConnBBall} yeah please make a counter unit for Priestess in 1.4 :)
[16:16] {Lord_Gromani_} how about a 1.4 patch to fix play balance issues?
[16:16] {Venn_Fairweather} Not with the CD out...
[16:17] {God_of_death} well you could start now
[16:17] {Golem_XIV} just put a reward flag and they fall quick
[16:17] {Your_Majesty} CD has to be in though.... runs very slow patched with 1.3
[16:17] {Lord_Gromani_} priestess die far to easy
[16:17] {God_of_death} yea
[16:17] {Golem_XIV} rangers take them out if they get seperated from thier skelatons
[16:17] {Kit5150} ranged units do the trick to priestesses
[16:17] {UConnBBall} and in 1.4 Temple of Krolm is more costly
[16:17] {RagingSpirit} that's why u baby sit em...
[16:17] {UConnBBall} Just nothing with Priestess
[16:17] {God_of_death} should they get better dodge?
[16:17] {Lord_Gromani_} warriors of discord suck bad because they dont get potions
[16:17] {God_of_death} cultists should get some more hp
[16:17] {tiger700} yes they do
[16:18] {God_of_death} sometimes
[16:18] {Lord_Gromani_} the evil side is far inferior to good
[16:18] {Kit5150} 'evil' also lacks a ranged counter
[16:18] {tiger700} cultists need a lot of improvement
[16:18] {UConnBBall} true
[16:18] {RagingSpirit} @@@NFO \$flags$\a\
[16:18] {UConnBBall} evil has no counter to rangers
[16:18] {Lord_Gromani_} elves rule
[16:18] {RagingSpirit} @@@NFO \$flags$\\
[16:18] {God_of_death} cultists needs better ranged stat numbers
[16:18] {CL_MisterSound} Ahh, but Monks don't go to fairgrounds
[16:18] {Lord_Gromani_} even at 50% market improvement, stilll too much
[16:18] {Golem_XIV} i think the price is right for krolm they need a little less dodge and parry when RoK
[16:18] {God_of_death} no
[16:18] {UConnBBall} but priestess sure have a rocking chance with wither and skeltons
[16:18] {RagingSpirit} does anyone here think that the elfes' bonus should REALLY be lowered anymore?
[16:19] {Trollster11_TXS} hi rlolar
[16:19] {RagingSpirit} or is 50% ok?
[16:19] {God_of_death} no
[16:19] {God_of_death} 50 is good
[16:19] {CL_MisterSound} I like it when the Priestesses get Vampires
[16:19] {RagingSpirit} cos i think that it should stay
[16:19] {Lord_Gromani_} yes, elves are still unbeatable
[16:19] {Kit5150} well, as someone once said, 100% bonus decreased to 50% means nothing when the economy is halved
[16:19] {UConnBBall} 50% is ok maybe 40% but thats it
[16:19] {tiger700} I thought their initial bonus was fine
[16:19] {Trollster11_TXS} what does "has voice" mean?
[16:19] {Lord_Gromani_} 15% max
[16:19] {Your_Majesty} Jay: on the average, what's the difficulty of the NE missions?
[16:19] {HGS_Shadow} Perhaps Cultists should move a bit faster and have higher dodge, so they could counter Rangers.
[16:19] {Lord_Gromani_} anyone who does not like elves has not played an expert
[16:19] {Trollster11_TXS} hey
[16:19] {UConnBBall} I lose to a certain player who playes gnomes almost 100%
[16:19] {Trollster11_TXS} anyone
[16:19] {Trollster11_TXS} oh ok
[16:20] {Trollster11_TXS} hehe
[16:20] {UConnBBall} cough KIT cough
[16:20] {Cyber_Jay} YM: The Quests run much harder than the basic game. More like what you saw in WoK.
[16:20] {CL_MisterSound} ??? Troll?
[16:20] {Lord_Gromani_} i dont think i have ever lost to anyone who went gnomes
[16:20] {Trollster11_TXS} nm
[16:20] {Your_Majesty} Jay: Gotta love it! Thanks
[16:20] {Trollster11_TXS} just wanted yo know what "has voice" means
[16:20] {tiger700} Ack! I'm never going to beat NE if its that hard!
[16:20] {tiger700} hehe
[16:20] {CL_MisterSound} from where?
[16:20] {Kit5150} heh, tourney settings are not the way the game was meant to be played
[16:20] {UConnBBall} Kit = Expert and he plays gnomes ask him
[16:20] {Dragon} It is worth playing over and over just to see the new bad guys
[16:20] {Lord_Gromani_} lol, i will beat him if he does
[16:20] {Your_Majesty} Jay: What about the yeti? What will his HP be?
[16:20] {God_of_death} I thought he plays dwarves and elves
[16:21] {Lord_Gromani_} and he probably knows it
[16:21] * Trollster11_TXS thinks that half-life is a better game, in terms of cool players
[16:21] {God_of_death} probably the same as golem
[16:21] {Cyber_Jay} I don't recall the Yeti HPs off hand.
[16:21] {Trollster11_TXS} hehe
[16:21] {PurpleAnt} I think Kit can do all three in one game
[16:21] {CL_MisterSound} Gnomes in the Expansion got really cool
[16:21] {HGS_Shadow} Kit, what do you think would be the best balanced 1v1 settings?
[16:21] {Your_Majesty} How did gnomes improve?
[16:21] {Golem_XIV} i think that the eldrich circle map setting was right on
[16:21] {UConnBBall} not on MFO tourney Settings
[16:21] {Kit5150} small map, eldrich circles, 10k gold
[16:21] {UConnBBall} Kit plays gnomes
[16:21] {Dragon} Wasn't there a story behind Styx and Stones?
[16:21] {God_of_death} eldritched circle is my favorite map
[16:21] {Lord_Gromani_} by the way, you need to fix the problem where the strong monsters like dragons and golems usually attack the same person
[16:21] {Golem_XIV} kit switch if he has time
[16:22] {God_of_death} my monks get to lv. 10 before they attack the opponent
[16:22] {Kit5150} as often as possible ;-)
[16:22] {Cyber_Jay} Styx and Stones was Joe's creation. I can't recall the story.
[16:22] {tiger700} Hey Jay, may I offer you any fanboy repellant? :)
[16:22] {Cyber_Jay} Can you?
[16:22] {Ice_Potato} hey guys. sorry im late
[16:22] {Golem_XIV} how about you dwarves blast do they get up that high too
[16:22] {HGS_Shadow} Hi, Ice.
[16:22] {tiger700} Hey Ice!
[16:22] {Twylah_Skye} Hiya Ice
[16:22] {CL_MisterSound} Styx and Stones won't be dead if they are not both killed within a short time of each other
[16:22] {RagingSpirit} hey, ice
[16:22] {Kit5150} although im learning the initial gnome build speed really isnt that great i dont think...its like an illusion
[16:22] {Lord_Gromani_} very true, Kit
[16:23] {PurpleAnt} they move fast between buildings though
[16:23] {UConnBBall} I use elves 100%
[16:23] {Ice_Potato} me too
[16:23] {God_of_death} elves very game
[16:23] {Kit5150} very true about their speed
[16:23] {Lord_Gromani_} getting 4 pesants is enough early
[16:23] {Golem_XIV} when rushing it is nesscicary
[16:23] {God_of_death} *every
[16:23] {Kit5150} and it quintuples your workforce
[16:23] {Lord_Gromani_} elves are simply too strong
[16:23] {Dragon} Someone used those names in a game, either role playing or other...something like that
[16:23] {Kit5150} (when gnomes decide to build)
[16:23] {Lord_Gromani_} except on a rush map, of course
[16:23] {God_of_death} they aren't too strong
[16:23] {PurpleAnt} yeah, rather than wander
[16:23] {Cyber_Jay} The multiplayer game is going to be MUCH different with the expansion. It'll be interesting to see what new strategies pop up.
[16:23] {God_of_death} they die
[16:23] {tiger700} When gnomes attack! The new specialk on Fox
[16:23] {God_of_death} rather easily
[16:23] {Ice_Potato} lo
[16:23] {Ice_Potato} l
[16:23] {Kit5150} gnomes seem to do anything but build
[16:23] {Dragon} Different how?
[16:23] {PurpleAnt} how different, Jay?
[16:24] {HGS_Shadow} Any specifics, Jay?
[16:24] {Cyber_Jay} Not to mention the ability you all will have to create your own settings.
[16:24] {Golem_XIV} new spells for one thing
[16:24] {Ice_Potato} they go for the big flags, then "I'm just a gnnoommeee"
[16:24] {God_of_death} ha
[16:24] {God_of_death} now krolm
[16:24] {Golem_XIV} i think the sorcerer spells will chang it so much
[16:24] {Cyber_Jay} Just teh addition of the Sorceror's Abode makes a huge difference.
[16:24] {Ice_Potato} ???
[16:24] {Ice_Potato} ok, im lost
[16:24] {CL_MisterSound} Gnomes get beefed up and go a huntin" after level 8
[16:24] {Twylah_Skye} Sorry, guys, but I have to run... laundry is calling and so is dinner. Hugs to everyone!!!! See you all later!
[16:24] {Cyber_Jay} Earthquake is devistating.
[16:24] {Cyber_Jay} By Twylah!
[16:24] {PurpleAnt} bye Twy...take care
[16:24] {Kit5150} yeah, how much damage does earthquake do? and is it a sovereign spell? (i.e. you can cast it anywhere)
[16:24] {Golem_XIV} i thought it was 10
[16:24] {CL_MisterSound} By Skye
[16:25] {HGS_Shadow} Bye!
[16:25] {God_of_death} how mush is earthquake?
[16:25] {Dragon} Gnome Champions are cool
[16:25] {Ice_Potato} (eyes glaze over)
[16:25] * Twylah_Skye is backing quietly out the door.
[16:25] {Ice_Potato} lol
[16:25] {tiger700} bye Twy
[16:25] {Ice_Potato} see ya
[16:25] {Cyber_Jay} How much is Earthquake, Jack?
[16:25] {Ice_Potato} :(
[16:25] {tiger700} Don't feel bad Potato
[16:25] {Ice_Potato} lol
[16:25] {CL_MisterSound} $1500 maybe more plus time to recharge
[16:25] {Cyber_Jay} One earthquake can take down general housing at the epicenter. Right, Jack?
[16:25] {God_of_death} oh
[16:25] {Ice_Potato} too little
[16:25] {Kit5150} also, whats it recharge rate and distance?
[16:25] {Ice_Potato} i can get 1500 in no time!
[16:25] {CL_MisterSound} pretty close
[16:26] {God_of_death} elves
[16:26] {UConnBBall} wow
[16:26] {CL_MisterSound} long time to recharge
[16:26] {Cyber_Jay} No range
[16:26] {Ice_Potato} oh, ok
[16:26] {HGS_Shadow} Aren't you concerned that people will use Earthquakes as a main attack?
[16:26] {Cyber_Jay} Takes a LONG time to recharge though.
[16:26] {Dragon} I think you are going to have to e-mail kit some numbers and stats. :)
[16:26] {Ice_Potato} lol
[16:26] {PurpleAnt} lol
[16:26] {Kit5150} ;-)
[16:26] {Golem_XIV} i think it will be a prelude to attack
[16:26] {Cyber_Jay} Shadow - Earthquake takes too long to recharge to use as a main attack.
[16:26] {UConnBBall} and this sounds like a really good X-Pack for a great RTS
[16:26] {Kit5150} its my 'job' to know ;-)
[16:26] {tiger700} Are there going to be any easter eggs in the NE?
[16:26] {RagingSpirit} i am lost, is earthquake a wizard's guild spell or another guild's spell?
[16:26] {Cyber_Jay} It's great for cleanup though.
[16:27] {Ice_Potato} (starts praying for cheats)
[16:27] {Dragon} I know of one
[16:27] {Golem_XIV} does it hurt heros
[16:27] {CL_MisterSound} plus there is also Gate which opens a portal where you cast it
[16:27] {HGS_Shadow} What happens if you have multiple abodes? Do they all recharge together?
[16:27] {Cyber_Jay} For example, let's say you got a building just about down but it's starting to rebuild...
[16:27] {God_of_death} portal to where?
[16:27] {Golem_XIV} your can only have one
[16:27] {CL_MisterSound} A new building Rage
[16:27] {Kit5150} the gate spell will be interesting
[16:27] {RagingSpirit} ooh
[16:27] {RagingSpirit} k
[16:27] {God_of_death} portal to where?
[16:27] {Cyber_Jay} Dump an earthquake down and you don't have to worry about it repairing anymore.
[16:27] {CL_MisterSound} whereever you cast it
[16:27] {Kit5150} reeminds me of moongates in ultima
[16:27] {CL_MisterSound} heroes from your kingdom can then go through the portal
[16:28] {Ice_Potato} wait, this affects heroes too right?
[16:28] {Cyber_Jay} The Gate draws heroes from the general vicinity of the sorcerors abode...
[16:28] {Cyber_Jay} and sends them to wherever you put the gate.
[16:28] {RagingSpirit} will the cheats in NE be the same in the original majesty, wll they be diferent ones, or will there be no cheats at all?
[16:28] {Ice_Potato} earthquake, i mean
[16:28] {PurpleAnt} do they have a choice in the matter?
[16:28] {God_of_death} oh
[16:28] {Ice_Potato} http://64.4.14.250/cgi-bin/linkrd?_lang=EN&lah=5e82c332abd75acc6de07474c30160f4&lat=968799423&hm___action=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2ecyberlore%2ecom%2fubb%2fForum1%2fHTML%2f001104%2ehtml
[16:28] {Cyber_Jay} There's only one new cheat.. but it's more of an easter egg.
[16:28] {CL_MisterSound} earthquakes don't efect heroes
[16:28] {Ice_Potato} see this for codes
[16:28] {God_of_death} error
[16:28] {Ice_Potato} ok
[16:28] {Ice_Potato} thnx
[16:28] {God_of_death} error in link
[16:28] {PurpleAnt} I mean, if you have beasts attacking your sorceror's abode, you might not wantthem portalled out
[16:28] {CL_MisterSound} more easter egges too
[16:28] {RagingSpirit} i really prefer games w/o cheats...
[16:28] {Ice_Potato} oops. my bad
[16:28] {Cyber_Jay} Exactly, Purpleant.
[16:29] {Golem_XIV} me to
[16:29] {Ice_Potato} see "Codes" in the wishlist forum
[16:29] {Your_Majesty} heheh same here RS
[16:29] {Kit5150} isnt there a chain lightning spell?
[16:29] {CL_MisterSound} yep
[16:29] {Kit5150} how powerful is that?
[16:29] {Cyber_Jay} Chain lightning is pretty cool but I don't think it'll see much use in multiplayer...
[16:29] {Golem_XIV} how many people does it go form place to place
[16:29] {Cyber_Jay} ..because it's better for taking out weaker monsters.
[16:29] {RagingSpirit} this may not relate much to majesty, but: why did so manyy of you put diablo II under the "most dissapointing games" at the discussion forum?
[16:30] {Kit5150} if i didnt use hotkeys, id give my left arm for a copy ;-)
[16:30] {deKaff} It was ..
[16:30] {RagingSpirit} cos i have it, and it is very good...
[16:30] {tiger700} I wish i had D2 :(
[16:30] {Your_Majesty} because it's basically the same as diablo I
[16:30] {deKaff} Didn't live upto my expectations
[16:30] {RagingSpirit} really?
[16:30] {RagingSpirit} the same?
[16:30] {tiger700} sigh
[16:30] {Kit5150} ragingspirit, how many times can one kill diable?
[16:30] {RagingSpirit} good point..
[16:30] {God_of_death} many?
[16:30] {deKaff} The first time he didn't get killed
[16:30] {tiger700} Who's Diable? :)
[16:30] {RagingSpirit} but it's still fun!
[16:31] {Your_Majesty} apparently more than once kit :-)
[16:31] {HGS_Shadow} Can you build multiple sorcerer's abodes?
[16:31] {Kit5150} although, i did see a diable character go for $100 on ebay
[16:31] {deKaff} Just "sealed into your forehead"
[16:31] {Cyber_Jay} Only one, Shadow.
[16:31] {RagingSpirit} u even read the story? it's not the same diablo
[16:31] {RagingSpirit} it's the guy who killed diablo became diablo.
[16:31] {UConnBBall} D2 is evil lets talk Majesty :)
[16:31] {RagingSpirit} pretty weird actually..
[16:31] {deKaff} RagingSpirit -} It goes on after that :)
[16:31] {Ice_Potato} lol
[16:31] {CL_MisterSound} anyway
[16:31] {Golem_XIV} i agree uconn
[16:31] {Your_Majesty} D2 is bad unnnnkay...
[16:31] {Cyber_Jay} Once you cast one of the Abode spells you can't cast ANY of the others until it has had time to recharge.
[16:31] {Kit5150} so about that chain lightning....
[16:31] {deKaff} yes, Go Majesty!
[16:32] {RagingSpirit} oooh well.. but u gotta agree that the graphics are definitely a lot diferent..
[16:32] {RagingSpirit} ok, let's get back to majesty...
[16:32] {CL_MisterSound} THere are also a lot of new potions for the heroes to use
[16:32] {PurpleAnt} so tell me about what the Avatar is saying... who's idea was that? It's made me see Barbarians in a more sinister light
[16:32] {Cyber_Jay} Chain lightning bounces around from target to target until it runs out.
[16:32] {CL_MisterSound} which time purp
[16:32] {Kit5150} i dont like the avatar ;-)
[16:32] {tiger700} Who does? lol
[16:32] {tiger700} mean old Av guy
[16:33] {Golem_XIV} he ran away when i got him down to 100 once
[16:33] {CL_MisterSound} He says "this is Krolms land"
[16:33] {PurpleAnt} um....Civilisation reeks! This is Krolm world!
[16:33] {Venn_Fairweather} I still havent beatem him
[16:33] {Kit5150} he has like a 99% critical strike
[16:33] {Ice_Potato} i surrounded him with skeletons ;)
[16:33] *** Cobby sets mode: +v Dragon
[16:33] {Your_Majesty} what types of new potions?
[16:33] {RagingSpirit} how long after NE will apear in usa will it come to canada?
[16:33] {CL_MisterSound} and also "Civilization reeks"
[16:33] {PurpleAnt} it sounds like a scary theme park, Krolm World
[16:33] {Cyber_Jay} It's only 50%, Kit.
[16:33] {Ice_Potato} lol
[16:33] {Kit5150} same difference ;-)
[16:33] {tiger700} Yeah Purp
[16:33] {Cyber_Jay} :)
[16:33] {Golem_XIV} 50% is hight enough
[16:33] {tiger700} lol
[16:33] {RagingSpirit} your_majesty: you talking about diablo's potions, right?
[16:33] {Kit5150} how on earth did emperor beat him in 21 days is beyond me
[16:33] {God_of_death} why doesn't the avatar guy have a story to him?
[16:33] {RagingSpirit} there are like gas potions which you can throw
[16:33] {Venn_Fairweather} Luck
[16:33] * PurpleAnt shakes head in awe
[16:33] {CL_MisterSound} i'll take that as a compliment BTW Venn did that voice/barbarians too
[16:33] {Your_Majesty} nope, what new potions are in the expansion
[16:33] {God_of_death} like the others do
[16:33] {RagingSpirit} ok
[16:34] {PurpleAnt} yeah, where did this worthiest of mortals come from?
[16:34] {Cyber_Jay} The Avatar is only the mortal manifestation of Krolm in Ardania.
[16:34] {Your_Majesty} f diablo, lets talk majesty :-)
[16:34] {Cyber_Jay} He IS Krolm for all intents and purposes.
[16:34] {Ice_Potato} yeah
[16:34] {Ice_Potato} lol
[16:34] {Ice_Potato} Krroolllmmm
[16:34] {RagingSpirit} how about no...
[16:34] {tiger700} lets just pretend Krolm possessed a Barb
[16:34] {Golem_XIV} is there any other mortal manifestation of other gods
[16:34] {PurpleAnt} oh god, I hope he's not peeved that we killed him
[16:34] {CL_MisterSound} shapshift potion
[16:34] {Ice_Potato} lol
[16:34] {PurpleAnt} yikes, imagine Krypta coming back :)
[16:34] {Your_Majesty} what the cost of that potion?
[16:34] {tiger700} ewwwwwwww
[16:34] {God_of_death} krypta?
[16:34] {Cyber_Jay} Nope, Krolm is the only deity that you see.
[16:34] {Golem_XIV} good
[16:34] {PurpleAnt} awwww....I wanna see Fervus
[16:34] {Ice_Potato} darn
[16:34] {God_of_death} an exact copy of the liche queen
[16:35] {Your_Majesty} KROLM is GOD!
[16:35] {HGS_Shadow} Think we'll see other avatars in future quests?
[16:35] {tiger700} Fervus would be cool
[16:35] {Dragon} Any more quests in the works?
[16:35] {RagingSpirit} i wonder what fervus looks like.
[16:35] {tiger700} Avatar of Fervus
[16:35] {CL_MisterSound} uh, don't recall but the heroes love buying and using them
[16:35] {Your_Majesty} good question dragon
[16:35] {RagingSpirit} like a huge guy in a loin cloth..
[16:35] {Cyber_Jay} There is another quest in the works. Jesse says that it's about half done.
[16:35] {Your_Majesty} any more downloads coming soon?
[16:35] {RagingSpirit} ten times bigger then a ranger
[16:35] {RagingSpirit} lol
[16:35] {PurpleAnt} KEWL!!!!
[16:35] {CL_MisterSound} yep Dragon
[16:35] {Your_Majesty} where is jesse?
[16:35] {HGS_Shadow} I think I remember hearing about a "winged feet" potion.
[16:35] {Dragon} Any hints as to what it is about?
[16:35] {Cyber_Jay} He must have been held up because he said that we would be here.
[16:35] {Your_Majesty} winged feet is old though
[16:35] {PurpleAnt} ah, another reason not to use Adepts
[16:35] {CL_MisterSound} Right you are Shadow
[16:36] {tiger700} Dirgo potion too right?
[16:36] {CL_MisterSound} Da
[16:36] {Your_Majesty} Dirgo's Revenge! HAHA!
[16:36] {Golem_XIV} yeah it raises strenght
[16:36] {Cyber_Jay} Oooh.. wait until you try Rogues and Rangers with the Fire Balm!
[16:36] {PurpleAnt} does it make them lose 3D vision?
[16:36] {tiger700} Fire balm??
[16:36] {CL_MisterSound} The characters say "dirgo" when they drink it
[16:36] {Your_Majesty} What does the fire balm do?
[16:36] {PurpleAnt} lol
[16:36] {Cyber_Jay} Add that to poison and you have some NASTY ranged attacks.
[16:36] {PurpleAnt} brb
[16:36] {Golem_XIV} cool
[16:36] {tiger700} ouch
[16:36] {Ice_Potato} So... When is the planned erlease date for the expansion?
[16:36] {Cyber_Jay} Fire Blam is a potion that adds fire to arrows.

[16:37] {tiger700} Whoa
[16:37] {Your_Majesty} SWEET....

[16:37] {Your_Majesty} unlike the balm kramer put on himself in sienfeld
[16:37] {Your_Majesty} :-)
[16:37] {Ice_Potato} lol
[16:37] {RagingSpirit} by the way, are there gonna be any wishes from the wish list (like about archer guards and henchmen upgrades) incorporated in NE?
[16:37] {Kit5150} bolts?
[16:37] {HGS_Shadow} crossbow bolts.
[16:37] {Kit5150} ah
[16:37] {Dragon} I imagine the release is still controlled by Hasbro?
[16:37] {Cyber_Jay} RS, Not those in particular
[16:38] {Ice_Potato} better than being controlled by MS
[16:38] {Kit5150} i was envisioning ballista fire bolts
[16:38] {Cyber_Jay} Yeah, pretty much.
[16:38] {Your_Majesty} I'm bummed, no CC to buy online
[16:38] {tiger700} I'd love to upgrade to archer guards
[16:38] {Your_Majesty} life is so tough
[16:38] {CL_MisterSound} a number of characters get new abilities
[16:38] {Golem_XIV} man that would make dwarves to powerfull
[16:38] {Cyber_Jay} YM - I'm sure that you could do it with a check. I used to buy from Amazon that way.
[16:38] {God_of_death} a question...
[16:38] {Cyber_Jay} an answer.
[16:38] {Your_Majesty} Oh ya, forgot about that :-)
[16:38] {tiger700} shoot
[16:38] {God_of_death} where do ranged attackers get all those arrows?
[16:38] {Ice_Potato} (bamn)
[16:38] {Venn_Fairweather} Maybe we could get Cyberlore to burn some CD'S
[16:38] {Ice_Potato} lol
[16:39] {Your_Majesty} hey now!
[16:39] {Dragon} Tease
[16:39] {HGS_Shadow} The same place all that gold comes from.

[16:42] {PurpleAnt} ah, the joys of already being in England :)
[16:42] {Your_Majesty} Very cool. That will be one luck SOB
[16:42] {HGS_Shadow} He'd probably say, "My treasury is nearly empty, so send a check or money order to..."
[16:42] {Dragon} Who from Cyberlore will be there? :)
[16:43] {Cyber_Jay} In England?
[16:43] {Venn_Fairweather} England was a beautiful place, Purple
[16:43] {Kit5150} venn gets a little surly with the 'need more heroes' bit
[16:43] {Your_Majesty} I'll take a picture of the helm tomorrow and post it by the weekend.
[16:43] {Cyber_Jay} Me, I wish. I've been there twice and I love it.

[16:45] {Your_Majesty} still pretty good odds though
[16:45] {Your_Majesty} 1 in 15,000
[16:45] {Dragon} Chances of winning 1 in 15000...not bad odds
[16:45] {Cyber_Jay} Sure, I could arrange that! ;)
[16:45] {Your_Majesty} better than the lotto

[16:46] {Dragon} He was a key speaker :/
[16:46] {HGS_Shadow} Bye!
[16:46] {Venn_Fairweather} He must be building something,...
[16:46] {PurpleAnt} yeah :( I wanna know about the Avatar
[16:46] {CL_MisterSound} Technical difficulties
[16:46] {tiger700} I have a question about the Avatar
[16:46] {CL_MisterSound} one of us may be able to help
[16:47] {HGS_Shadow} With GS or Majesty?
[16:47] {Kit5150} yes, he is hard to beat
[16:47] {Kit5150} ;-)
[16:47] {RagingSpirit} so the expansion is coming october 17, right?
[16:47] {tiger700} How much longer was he made before the quest was thought up?
[16:47] {God_of_death} I'd say he's harder then 2 phantoms combined
[16:47] {Golem_XIV} it would be cool if we could co-op that game
[16:47] {CL_MisterSound} probably computer connection woes
[16:47] {Your_Majesty} he's tough, no two ways about it
[16:47] {Golem_XIV} that mission i mean
[16:47] {CL_MisterSound} About the same time as the quest
[16:48] {Golem_XIV} or quest what ever way you want to say it
[16:48] {tiger700} cool thanks Mister :)
[16:48] {LordGek} Is the Avatar's hp connected to the altars?
[16:48] {Your_Majesty} i've finished it a few times already. will post a walk-thru this weekend
[16:48] {Venn_Fairweather} Anymore Vampire Quests?
[16:48] {tiger700} I think so Lord
[16:48] {PurpleAnt} was it the beefed-up barbarians for the 1.3 patch which made you think of a quest based around Krolm?
[16:48] {Your_Majesty} yes lordgek they are
[16:48] {Golem_XIV} it goes down 500 for every alter destroyed
[16:48] {CL_MisterSound} THe number of HP's decreases eaxch time he shows
[16:48] {Dragon} Jack, I'm still waiting to get a copy of those "special" recordings
[16:48] {Kit5150} i dont have the patience to play 80 days more than once ;-)
[16:48] {God_of_death} recordings?
[16:49] {Golem_XIV} me either kit
[16:49] {RagingSpirit} majesty, just a question, you devote so much time yo your website, so it it like your main job or do you have another one?
[16:49] {tiger700} Is it possible to kill the Avatar when he has 4000HP???
[16:49] {Your_Majesty} yes you do kit :-)
[16:49] {Kit5150} well, i meant single player ;-)
[16:49] {Golem_XIV} hey thats a good challeng tiger
[16:49] {Cyber_Jay} Tiger, somebody said they did it.
[16:49] {tiger700} or is he programed the flee everytime?
[16:49] {PurpleAnt} it annoys me that he might get beaten down to 1000 HP or so then teleport out... and when he comes back he's back up to 3000 or so
[16:49] {CL_MisterSound} Jay get with me about dragon request
[16:49] {Cyber_Jay} Sure thing.
[16:49] {Golem_XIV} ive gotten him to 100 then he left
[16:49] {Dragon} :)
[16:49] {Golem_XIV} i was so mad
[16:49] {Your_Majesty} I have a hard time beleiving anyone could drop the avatar at 4000 hp's
[16:49] {tiger700} right
[16:50] {PurpleAnt} I know what you mean Golem
[16:50] {Vastin} Hiya jay.
[16:50] {HGS_Shadow} Did you try to hit him with lightning as he was leaving?
[16:50] {Venn_Fairweather} Dragon request? Same as mine?
[16:50] {Cyber_Jay} Hi
[16:50] {Kit5150} does the avatar stay a fixed amount of time, or just when he's getting whooped?
[16:50] {Vastin} {--- Jesse.
[16:50] {God_of_death} lightning dopn't work
[16:50] {tiger700} i think he'd flee before you could kill him at 4000hp
[16:50] {Cyber_Jay} Doh!
[16:50] {Golem_XIV} he started at 2000 that time
[16:50] {Venn_Fairweather} Jesse's here
[16:50] {CL_MisterSound} Why yes lord Fairweather
[16:50] {Cyber_Jay} You're about an hour late.
[16:50] {God_of_death} finally
[16:50] {PurpleAnt} hi Jesse
[16:50] {deKaff} Hello
[16:50] {Vastin} Yah failed to mention that the GSA was a 4 meg download. took an hour. :P
[16:50] {HGS_Shadow} Jesse!
[16:50] {tiger700} Hi Jess
[16:50] {Venn_Fairweather} Don't I know it Jesse
[16:51] {PurpleAnt} we're all bursting with questions for you!
[16:51] {God_of_death} always be prepared
[16:51] {Your_Majesty} jesse must be at home for that slow download
[16:51] {Cyber_Jay} I did tell everybody to do it in the afternoon.
[16:51] {tiger700} hhehe Jay
[16:51] {Venn_Fairweather} GSA wouldn't respond
[16:51] {deKaff} busted
[16:51] {CL_MisterSound} Hmm i did it at 6:59 no problem
[16:51] {Vastin} Oookay. Is there a moderator, or do you all want to swamp me at once?
[16:51] {tiger700} well its better than MSN... OPPS! Did i say that outloud??
[16:51] {Your_Majesty} swamp at once
[16:51] {PurpleAnt} yikes tiger
[16:51] {HGS_Shadow} It must have gone down when everyone tried to download GSA for the chat.
[16:51] {Cyber_Jay} Swamp hmi now! Swwamp him now!
[16:51] {RagingSpirit} not by much though...
[16:51] {deKaff} The channel hasnt been moderated
[16:51] {Dragon} You can keep saying it all you want
[16:52] {Dragon} Jesse, what was the inspiration behind the quest?
[16:52] {Venn_Fairweather} AAARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!
[16:52] {tiger700} it all you want it all you want
[16:52] {PurpleAnt} what gave you the idea for the quest? was it the beefed up barbarians for the 1.3 patch?
[16:52] {Your_Majesty} whats your role at cyberlore jesse?
[16:52] {damien666} is anyone playin this gme
[16:52] {God_of_death} ya I am
[16:52] {tiger700} lol
[16:52] {God_of_death} was
[16:52] {God_of_death} not now
[16:52] {tiger700} its swampin time!
[16:52] *** Cobby sets mode: +v Vastin
[16:52] {Vastin} Heh. Actually, the very original idea (Krolm wandering around on ardania) was one of the other designer's ideas. He got pulled off the project about 1 minute after he came up with it. :)
[16:52] {HGS_Shadow} What is your next quest going to be?
[16:52] {God_of_death} why didn't you put levels on the barbarians?
[16:53] {tiger700} hey thats a good question God
[16:53] {God_of_death} why wasn't the avatar's stat's perfect?
[16:53] {PurpleAnt} rage of krolmed rocs are EVIL!!!
[16:53] {CL_MisterSound} different is good!
[16:53] {RagingSpirit} which barbarians?
[16:53] {tiger700} aww where's Kit?
[16:53] {Vastin} Actually, the barbarians are leveled, but they aren't handled like normal characters (for technical reasons) so it isnt listed.
[16:53] {God_of_death} oh
[16:53] {tiger700} ah ok
[16:53] {Vastin} You'll see it reflected in their stats however.
[16:53] {Golem_XIV} the zone is messed up right now it says that there are no majesty rooms avaliable
[16:53] {UConnBBall} kit got ISP droped
[16:53] {tiger700} i was curiousabout the barbs not having levels too
[16:53] {Lord_Gromani_} zone is back
[16:54] {God_of_death} I'll use "grow up" on the barbas later on
[16:54] {God_of_death} aol dropped him?
[16:54] {Vastin} Grow up probably wont work on them. They are 'technically' monsters.
[16:54] {tiger700} Are there any plans to beef up or improve cultists?
[16:54] {Your_Majesty} monster in diguise eh?
[16:54] {tiger700} so they stop planting useless mushrooms at least?
[16:54] {Golem_XIV} i wouldnt be surprised if aol did
[16:54] {God_of_death} why odesn't the avatar teleport like the witch king?
[16:55] {God_of_death} doesn't
[16:55] {HGS_Shadow} Have you considered making normal monsters that have levels?
[16:55] {CL_MisterSound} The cultists can charm some of the new expansion monsters
[16:55] {tiger700} kewl
[16:55] {Golem_XIV} can they charm greater gorgon
[16:55] {tiger700} could you say which ones? ;)
[16:55] {HGS_Shadow} I hope they can charm Yetis at high levels.
[16:55] {Vastin} The avatar can do short jumps to avoid getting swamped, but krolm likes to walk (stomp) when he travels.
[16:55] {tiger700} hehe me to HGS
[16:55] {Golem_XIV} hes back
[16:55] {UConnBBall} welcome kit back
[16:55] {CL_MisterSound} noy yetis but something very close
[16:55] {Your_Majesty} KROLM is brutal to say the least
[16:56] {tiger700} Kit has returned
[16:56] {tiger700} something close to the yetis eh?
[16:56] {God_of_death} ya
[16:56] {Venn_Fairweather} I think I know but can't say,..
[16:56] {tiger700} as in same type of animal or something as powerful as a yeti?
[16:56] {CL_MisterSound} you got it tiger
[16:56] {Vastin} Yeah. I designed Krolm to be very potent offensively, even against the ultra-high defense heroes. It was something that you don't see much in majesty.
[16:56] {God_of_death} ha
[16:56] {Vastin} Yeah, lets just say that the Yeti has a very fierce little brother.
[16:56] {tiger700} i'll say
[16:57] {tiger700} Aha! I know what you're talking about Vast ;)
[16:57] {tiger700} hehe
[16:57] {God_of_death} onlly 5 warrior guild filled with WoD's can kill him
[16:57] {God_of_death} with blessing or vigilance
[16:57] {tiger700} Wods dont last long in Wrath of Krolm
[16:57] {God_of_death} ofcourse
[16:57] {tiger700} i had one get taken out in 3 hits from a varg
[16:57] {Your_Majesty} nor do rouges
[16:57] {Vastin} I've come close to killing him with monks, but I haven't succeeded yet in the final version - I usually win by knocking out the last altar, personally.
[16:57] {UConnBBall} WoD are a great Barb counter
[16:58] {CL_MisterSound} There is a new building in the expansion that helps out the "evil" side
[16:58] {Kit5150} ooh
[16:58] {Kit5150} do tell
[16:58] {Golem_XIV} hall of champions right
[16:58] {CL_MisterSound} Masuleum
[16:58] {God_of_death} hall of champions?
[16:58] {God_of_death} oh
[16:58] {Vastin} Champs helps out everyone pretty much.
[16:58] {Your_Majesty} Dr. Evil's Lair maybe?
[16:58] {CL_MisterSound} sic
[16:58] {Dragon} Towers
[16:58] {tiger700} LOL Your Mag
[16:58] {Kit5150} heh
[16:58] {tiger700} uh Maj that is
[16:58] {Your_Majesty} heh
[16:58] {Golem_XIV} does the masuleum boost stats or something
[16:59] {Vastin} Mausoleum is good for all of the 'neutral' and 'evil' heroes. Most of the good ones can't use it.
[16:59] {Your_Majesty} brogs back the dead
[16:59] {Golem_XIV} i know you can revive but anything other than that

[16:59] {CL_MisterSound} Yes
[16:59] {Your_Majesty} sweet
[16:59] {RagingSpirit} how much does it cost?
[16:59] {Vastin} Out of the mausoleum? yes. Expensive tho.
[16:59] {Kit5150} does resurrection work the same?
[16:59] {HGS_Shadow} Why can't goods use it?
[16:59] {Your_Majesty} gold is no object :-)
[16:59] {tiger700} Hey, what's the building that lets you hire random heroes let you have Monks and cultists in the same kingdom without cheating?
[17:00] {Kit5150} hall of champions
[17:00] {Golem_XIV} that would be nice
[17:00] {Cyber_Jay} Embassy
[17:00] {Vastin} Side of order already has the cheapest res (and best defensive heroes) they didn't really need it, to be honest.
[17:00] {Golem_XIV} i thought it was embassy with outpost
[17:00] {Kit5150} doh
[17:00] {CL_MisterSound} they are "stored" there it goes against goods alingment

[17:00] {Golem_XIV} k
[17:00] {Kit5150} can one build an outpost, or do you have to start with it?
[17:00] {Vastin} You can build outposts.
[17:01] {Kit5150} whats the cost?
[17:01] {CL_MisterSound} you gotta have a place to put them or they will leave just like in majesty
[17:01] {Golem_XIV} they get expinsive dont they
[17:01] {tiger700} 70s show is on! ahh!
[17:01] {PurpleAnt} can you do anything with an outpost that you can do with a castle?
[17:01] {Vastin} Pretty expensive. (outposts)
[17:01] {Vastin} No, if you only have an outpost, your build list will be fairly limited.
[17:01] {HGS_Shadow} How common are outposts in testing?

[17:03] {tiger700} love hearing from ya on there Ven
[17:03] {CL_MisterSound} hmm good Idea Kit

[17:03] {tiger700} oh and i think you do A good royal advisor Ven :)
[17:03] {Kit5150} ;-)
[17:03] {CL_MisterSound} Venn is mucho talented
[17:03] {HGS_Shadow} A pint of what?
[17:03] {PurpleAnt} god, so many of the banners at the bottom of the window are completely sexist
[17:03] {Vastin} I'm curious, how many people have actually managed to kill Krolm outright rather than win through altars?
[17:04] {Kit5150} i have never got krolm less than 3000 hp
[17:04] {Blastman} not me
[17:04] {PurpleAnt} I did it, but I think it was a bug....he just kept attacking the guard house
[17:04] {Blastman} poison helps a lot
[17:04] {Dragon} Not I
[17:04] {Blastman} well
[17:04] {Blastman} My time for a game just ran out
[17:04] {UConnBBall} I have the game saved got bored with the number of days being high
[17:04] {tiger700} I only beat Avatar when he was down 2 2000hp
[17:05] {tiger700} frankly i think thats when he can only be beaten :)
[17:05] {Vastin} Knock over the 5th altar Uconn - Game'll be over in a few days - one way or the other...
[17:05] {Blastman} yesterday I got tired of him
[17:05] {CL_MisterSound} Hopefully that will change as more girls get involved with gaming, Purp
[17:05] {Blastman} so I killed him with "now you die"
[17:05] {deKaff} g'night ppls
[17:05] {Blastman} 13 paladins died
[17:05] {tiger700} bye DeKaff
[17:05] {UConnBBall} I just love multiplayer games so much I hardly ever play single player thats with all games
[17:05] {PurpleAnt} I hope so, mistersound... I don't need to see 'Nice case?' over a girl in a bikini
[17:06] {Blastman} uh-huh
[17:06] {Dragon} What other projects are you guys working on now besides Majesty that you can talk about?
[17:06] {tiger700} Hey Jay, i think you should do voices for Majesty
[17:06] {Vastin} Senor Lieberman will deal with the Naked lady in the ad banner, fear not!
[17:06] {RagingSpirit} =)
[17:06] {Vastin} :)
[17:06] {PurpleAnt} lol
[17:06] {tiger700} lol Vast
[17:06] {RagingSpirit} she's not naked
[17:06] {Blastman} See ya
[17:06] {RagingSpirit} she's wearing a bikini
[17:06] {CL_MisterSound} Well, at the game conventions there were "little people" there so maybe the industry is starting to reach out to other exploitations
[17:06] {Your_Majesty} Woohoo Giants 1-0 in the first, oh uh sorry....
[17:07] {CL_MisterSound} did you DL the Jay Ranger voices?
[17:07] {tiger700} Who's wearing a bikini?
[17:07] {RagingSpirit} weird... no football game on right now over here on the TV...
[17:07] {PurpleAnt} I like the mixed-sex heroes in Majesty
[17:07] {Dragon} mixed?
[17:07] {HGS_Shadow} You mean elves?
[17:07] {tiger700} Herms? lol
[17:07] {PurpleAnt} lol
[17:07] {RagingSpirit} he means that there is nto just guy heroes
[17:07] {Cyber_Jay} Unfortuunately, all we can say about what we're working on right now is that we can't talk about what we're woring on right now.
[17:07] {RagingSpirit} and women ones too
[17:07] {PurpleAnt} no, as in heroes of both sexes
[17:07] {Golem_XIV} paladin
[17:08] {RagingSpirit} that makes sence..
[17:08] {RagingSpirit} =)
[17:08] {tiger700} aww Jay phoey :(
[17:08] {Cyber_Jay} But its cool..
[17:08] {PurpleAnt} = she, RS
[17:08] {Dragon} Just had to see if that changed any :)
[17:08] {CL_MisterSound} It was a deliberate decision. Hopefully more games will follow
[17:08] {tiger700} Hey, look for Hermaphrodite heroes in Maj2. The secret is out of the closet!
[17:08] {Cyber_Jay} and based on the Majesty engine..
[17:08] {PurpleAnt} lol
[17:08] {Cyber_Jay} (oops, let one slip)
[17:08] {Dragon} I need to start another fan site :)
[17:09] {Your_Majesty} Did cyberlore do any SSI games in the past?
[17:09] {tiger700} for what Drag?
[17:09] {Cyber_Jay} Yep.
[17:09] {Cyber_Jay} A couple of them.
[17:09] {UConnBBall} AOK
[17:09] {Dragon} The next Cyberlore title
[17:09] {UConnBBall} :)
[17:09] {tiger700} Ohhhhh :)
[17:09] {CL_MisterSound} OK trivia Was the elf voice actually done by a male or female?
[17:09] {tiger700} Male
[17:09] {Vastin} One of the old Gold Box games (Dark Queen of Krynn)
[17:09] {Your_Majesty} what about one about an arabian knight or something?
[17:09] {Kit5150} ive gotta say male
[17:09] {Golem_XIV} i got a question are elves guys or girls
[17:09] {Cyber_Jay} (And Alqadim)
[17:09] {tiger700} guys
[17:09] {tiger700} they visit brothels lol
[17:09] {Vastin} Al Qadim, yes.
[17:09] {PurpleAnt} they run brothels as well
[17:10] {Your_Majesty} Ya baby! Great game at the time!
[17:10] {HGS_Shadow} girls can visit brothels too, I suppose
[17:10] {tiger700} right
[17:10] {CL_MisterSound} Elf were actually done by a Female
[17:10] {PurpleAnt} anyway, the solarii visit the brothel, so I'm guessing there's something there for everyone
[17:10] {Vastin} I always found it vaugely disturbing that the Paladins occasionally hung out in the elven lounges myself...
[17:10] {HGS_Shadow} A brothel for the whole family
[17:10] {Kit5150} oh yeah, sister dorota frequents the lounges often
[17:10] {tiger700} Jay, why do Female heroes visit "Elven Lounges???" lol
[17:10] {Your_Majesty} maybe the sollari swing both ways
[17:10] {tiger700} WE DEMAND TO KNOW! LOL
[17:10] {Cyber_Jay} Perhaps the Paladins go there to try to talk the other heroes out of it.
[17:10] {Golem_XIV} perhaps
[17:10] {Vastin} Hey, Cyberlore is an equal opportunity exploiter.
[17:10] {PurpleAnt} maybe the brothel provides male company for them
[17:11] {tiger700} Is that why they pay 200 gold when they leave too? lol
[17:11] {CL_MisterSound} Well, it is a Lounge not a brothel
[17:11] {PurpleAnt} lol Jesse
[17:11] {Cyber_Jay} That would be my guess.
[17:11] {Kit5150} how come gnomes flee to the great ungnome?
[17:11] {Dragon} The lobster bisque is to die for
[17:11] {PurpleAnt} you're not telling me they pay to sit around?
[17:11] {tiger700} what's an ungnome?
[17:11] {CL_MisterSound} Although I wished it was called and "Adventurers Club"
[17:11] {PurpleAnt} the inn
[17:11] {Cyber_Jay} I think that they give foot massages there.
[17:11] {Kit5150} its the name of an inn
[17:11] {tiger700} they probably give massages alright lol
[17:11] {Dragon} Oh, it is like a spa
[17:12] {PurpleAnt} has anyone destroyed every building in a kingdom just for fun?
[17:12] {Kit5150} lounges are like bars, god bless the women that frequent those establishments
[17:12] {CL_MisterSound} Actually, take notice at the names of the Inns
[17:12] {tiger700} nope, can;t say I have Ant
[17:12] {Dragon} why?
[17:12] {Vastin} Roughly every 10 minutes during testing Purple.
[17:12] {tiger700} lol Kit
[17:12] {PurpleAnt} I must have been bored :)
[17:12] {CL_MisterSound} One is actually a tavern in our town
[17:12] {Dragon} Ummm, have I been there?
[17:12] {tiger700} I've never seen the Ungnome in the game
[17:13] {Kit5150} that seems to be the most common inn i see
[17:13] {tiger700} really??
[17:13] {Dragon} There was the "Holy Day Inn"
[17:13] {CL_MisterSound} I dunno Dragon. Probably not It's called "ye olde Watering hole"
[17:13] {Golem_XIV} i see meat n haggis a lot
[17:13] {PurpleAnt} you should have a Rover's Return, like in Coronation Street
[17:13] {Kit5150} well, its the only one i can remember off the top of my head
[17:13] {HGS_Shadow} I bet the "cosy cultist" is based on real life.
[17:13] {Dragon} Is it a dive?
[17:13] {PurpleAnt} it would be popular with the Rangers
[17:14] {Your_Majesty} Gonna go watch the Giants game guys! Thanks for the chat Cyberlore!
[17:14] {tiger700} Hey I know what could be a prize for the make a quest contest
[17:14] {Your_Majesty} CU guys later!
[17:14] {tiger700} Bye Your Majesty :)
[17:14] {PurpleAnt} bye YM
[17:14] {Vastin} Gnight Majesty.
[17:14] {Golem_XIV} bye majesty
[17:14] {Kit5150} see ya YM
[17:14] {tiger700} See ya on the forum
[17:14] -chat2.gamespy.com- *** Notice -- spybot (spybot2@64.209.134.39) is now operator (O)
[17:14] {CL_MisterSound} Actually it's pretty good. Every bar in town has a good beer selection
[17:14] {HGS_Shadow} Bye, YM
[17:14] {PurpleAnt} what, tiger? name an inn?
[17:14] {tiger700} if you win the next contest, an inn in the next patch can be named after you
[17:14] {HGS_Shadow} Cool!
[17:15] {Kit5150} bah, i want a hero!
[17:15] {PurpleAnt} ace!
[17:15] {tiger700} Like Jay's Tavern
[17:15] {tiger700} or a hero would be nice too :)
[17:15] {Kit5150} i still want to see glowing kit5150 take on jay badcredit adan
[17:15] {tiger700} Kit the wriley gnome
[17:15] {PurpleAnt} lol
[17:15] {Vastin} Heh. Ok, does anyone else have any particularly pressing questions concerning Download quests, the expansion or so on?
[17:15] {HGS_Shadow} There should be a new temple path named after me.
[17:15] {CL_MisterSound} Some of the heroes have cyberlore names
[17:15] {Golem_XIV} lol
[17:15] {tiger700} Jaiden?
[17:15] {PurpleAnt} oh yeah...someone said you're half way through the next downloadable quest
[17:15] {Dragon} We should be closing this up and letting these guys free
[17:15] {PurpleAnt} tell us about that...please?
[17:16] {CL_MisterSound} My favorite are the Rogues names "Skutty" after one of our artists
[17:16] {Cyber_Jay} Jesse, give them a hint or two about the new quest.
[17:16] {tiger700} Yeah tell is about the next quest! PWEASE?
[17:16] {Vastin} Sure. That's about correct - that DL quest is meant to attach to the expansion set...
[17:16] {tiger700} pwiddy pwiddy pwease
[17:16] {UConnBBall} yes in expansion any added RTS multiplayer extras like queing, IPable games (No Need for GSA or Zone) a restore feature?
[17:16] {Vastin} Lemme see, it features the return of a little trio of badguys from the original set, with a new twist.
[17:16] {HGS_Shadow} Will quests made after the expansion be compatible with regular Majesty?
[17:17] {CL_MisterSound} I think the DL quest should have nothing but healers
[17:17] {Golem_XIV} dirgo i hope
[17:17] {PurpleAnt} oooh.... Black Phantoms?
[17:17] {CL_MisterSound} :)
[17:17] {PurpleAnt} lol Mistersound
[17:17] {CL_MisterSound} WHy can't we all just get along
[17:17] {tiger700} Hey will there be any Grum Grog quests in the NE?
[17:17] {Golem_XIV} that would be nearly impossible
[17:18] {Dragon} How long do you plan on continuing to release new quests?
[17:18] {Vastin} The way the quest is currently arranged, it will probably be pretty free ranging.
[17:18] {Cyber_Jay} We don't know the answer to that right now, Dragon.
[17:18] {Vastin} Hard to say. Of course, by the time you see the next DL quest, you'll have had a shot at the 12 new quests from the expansion.
[17:18] {tiger700} Oh I know! Is the next dlable quest be harder than Wrath of Kroml
[17:19] {tiger700} sorry for my weird typing, i'm a little distracted right now :)
[17:19] {Golem_XIV} hey its no worse than mine tiger
[17:19] {Vastin} Actually, I doubt that it will be harder. I could maybe make it tougher, but it gets VERY difficult to pace quests properly once the difficulty gets beyond a certain point.
[17:20] {HGS_Shadow} What about hard and easy versions of a quest?
[17:20] {Dragon} Plus now everyone knows where to direct the hate mail
[17:20] {PurpleAnt} have you ever made a quest you couldn't beat yourself?
[17:20] {CL_MisterSound} THe quests are harder in the expansion but the freestyle is still there for those of us who like the sim aspect more
[17:20] {tiger700} lol where?
[17:20] {Vastin} Nope. :)
[17:20] {PurpleAnt} :)
[17:20] {CL_MisterSound} "victory is mine"
[17:20] {Kit5150} i heard seth is the office stud at maj
[17:20] {Vastin} But there's a big difference between designing a quest that's really hard, and one that's really fun...
[17:20] {PurpleAnt} hmm....I'm more like 'victory is not on the cards'
[17:20] {Vastin} The Krolm quest was (IMHO) my best combination of the two so far.
[17:20] {UConnBBall} it would be nice to be able to play 1v1 against the puter for practice on multiplayer
[17:21] {CL_MisterSound} Ah, that's "No fun at all"
[17:21] {tiger700} Yeah
[17:21] {Golem_XIV} yeah
[17:21] {tiger700} I want to play against AI kingdoms
[17:21] {Dragon} Any more pressing questions?
[17:21] {Vastin} Actually, there is technically no 'opponent kingdom' AI in majesty.
[17:21] {CL_MisterSound} Expansion has a great enemy kingdom quest
[17:21] {UConnBBall} nice
[17:21] {tiger700} There isn't??
[17:22] {Vastin} I wrote a simple one for Siege in the expansion set, so youll see something like that there.
[17:22] {Kit5150} the ring quest features an opposing kingdom (eventually)
[17:22] {tiger700} what about the Magic ring quest? that's an AI kingdom right?
[17:22] {UConnBBall} true
[17:22] {PurpleAnt{1}} darn ISP
[17:22] {Vastin} Yes, but it doesn't include the concept of an opposing 'controller'. Siege does.
[17:22] {tiger700} Ohhh
[17:22] {HGS_Shadow} It is a scripted kingdom, so it isn't quite the same.
[17:22] {tiger700} well can there be one?
[17:22] {CL_MisterSound} you can win the quest without beating them
[17:23] {CL_MisterSound} the ring one that is
[17:23] {Kit5150} yeah, but whats the fun of that?
[17:23] {tiger700} Is it possible for there to be an AI kingdom for magesty?
[17:23] {Kit5150} especially with the new summon monster codes ;-)
[17:23] {Vastin} The 'opponent' in siege will actually cast spells to attack your heroes and protect his own. It is simple, but surprisingly nasty.
[17:23] {tiger700} WOW!
[17:23] {CL_MisterSound} You'll like "The Siege" Kit
[17:23] {tiger700} I WANNA PLAY IT! NOW!!!!!
[17:23] {HGS_Shadow} Does it use flags?
[17:23] {Cyber_Jay} It took me FOREVER to figure out how to beat that quest.
[17:23] {Vastin} Yes (flags)
[17:23] {Kit5150} i cant wait
[17:23] {Dragon} How long does it take to put together a new quest?
[17:23] {CL_MisterSound} Yes Shad
[17:23] {tiger700} WOW!!!!! WOW!!!!!!
[17:23] {UConnBBall} all AIs are dumb but for practice and testing it really is good a editor would be better
[17:24] {Kit5150} i should pay you guys a visit and check it out
[17:24] {tiger700} I WANNA PLAY IT!!!!!
[17:24] {tiger700} GIVE ME NE NOW!!!!!!!
[17:24] {Golem_XIV} me too kit
[17:24] {Cyber_Jay} Kit, do you live in New England?
[17:24] {Vastin} Dragon -} For a good one, over 2 weeks.
[17:24] {Kit5150} (assuming i get thru security)
[17:24] {Kit5150} no
[17:24] {UConnBBall} I do :)
[17:24] {Cyber_Jay} Ah well.
[17:24] {tiger700} lol kit
[17:24] {HGS_Shadow} Can it choose between non-human races, temples, etc.?
[17:24] {Kit5150} but i travel a lot
[17:24] {Dragon} Does that include the custom graphics and sounds?
[17:24] {Cyber_Jay} Unconn.. You can visit if you like.
[17:24] {CL_MisterSound} Yes Drag
[17:24] {UConnBBall} I would love to visit
[17:24] {Vastin} If our Art and Sound departments are synced up with it, yes.
[17:25] {Cyber_Jay} Shoot me some e-mail tomorrow.
[17:25] {tiger700} Hey Jay, can anybody who mentions they're a majesty fan walk through the front doors at cyberlore? :)
[17:25] {UConnBBall} he ranger great win today
[17:25] {Dragon} That means potentially 26 new quests a year. :)
[17:25] {VG_Ranger} thanks
[17:25] {VG_Ranger} gg
[17:25] {Cyber_Jay} Tiger: Not off the street but if you contact me in advance... there's no reason why not.
[17:25] {Kit5150} the front doors are probably open
[17:25] {tiger700} Aww if only I lived out east :)
[17:25] {Golem_XIV} if im ever up there ill do that
[17:26] {Dragon} I'll be posting the pics from my Cyberlore trip soon
[17:26] {HGS_Shadow} You could always put a ram on the front of your car and break in.
[17:26] {tiger700} I'm in the midwest, but it would be cool to visit the cyberlore developers
[17:26] {Dragon} It'll be just like being there
[17:26] {Vastin} If only you lived in the NE you could deal with some of the nastiest and most confusing weather in the world...
[17:26] {VG_Ranger} where is CL?
[17:26] {tiger700} and worship, i mean thank them for making Majesty :)
[17:26] -chat2.gamespy.com- *** Notice -- spybot (spybot2@64.209.134.39) is now operator (O)
[17:26] {Kit5150} its in northampton, ma
[17:26] {Vastin} Our cities are way cool tho. :)
[17:26] {VG_Ranger} northhampton??? are you serious?
[17:26] {Dragon} 5 hours away from the airport. :)
[17:26] {VG_Ranger} Jesus christ I'm THERE!
[17:26] {Cyber_Jay} Yup
[17:26] {VG_Ranger} can I come and visit?
[17:26] {CL_MisterSound} Where Ranger?
[17:27] {VG_Ranger} I'm in amherst
[17:27] {Cyber_Jay} Sure, Ranger. Send me e-mail.
[17:27] {tiger700} oh to be able to peek at the NE at cyberlore that would be the greatest
[17:27] {VG_Ranger} whats your address?
[17:27] {Cyber_Jay} jadaj@cyberlore.com
[17:27] {Vastin} Yep, your 15 mins away ranger.
[17:27] {Kit5150} ranger, steal me a copy okay?
[17:27] {Cyber_Jay} jadan@cyberlore.com
[17:27] {PurpleAnt{1}} wow....what a friendly company Cyberlore is :)
[17:27] {CL_MisterSound} Very close indeed
[17:27] {tiger700} hehe
[17:27] {Golem_XIV} ill brb
[17:28] {Kit5150} then MFO will really have in depth coverage of the xpak
[17:28] {HGS_Shadow} That would be good/
[17:28] {Dragon} Any more questions for the Cyberlore Guys before we close up?
[17:28] {tiger700} ok one more
[17:28] {Dragon} Last questions
[17:28] {tiger700} this is kind of dumb, but are there any companies trying to clone the Majesty game engine?
[17:29] {tiger700} you know like when C&C and warcraft came out, a swarm of copies and clones followed
[17:29] {Vastin} Not that we're aware of, methinks. But there might be some people taking a close look at the 'indirect AI character' concept.
[17:29] {Kit5150} it is unique, thats for sure
[17:29] {Vastin} It could be useful for several kinds of mid-high level wargames.
[17:29] {tiger700} such as?
[17:30] {Kit5150} globalthermonuclear war
[17:30] {VG_Ranger} Jay any chance we can work out some kind of playtesting deal? :)
[17:30] {tiger700} YEAH!!!!
[17:30] {tiger700} I volunteer!!!
[17:30] {tiger700} sign me up!
[17:30] {Cyber_Jay} S H A L L W E P L A Y A G A M E ?
[17:30] {Golem_XIV} was that an accual game or is it just from the movie war games
[17:30] {tiger700} SURE@
[17:30] {Vastin} With processor power going ever upwards, the next version of RTS games may take place on the scale of full-size flight sims, with units still individually represented in units of 1000's.
[17:30] {Kit5150} hehe
[17:30] {Cyber_Jay} We don't need any playtesters at the moment, VG.
[17:31] {VG_Ranger} you know you want me
[17:31] {Vastin} At that scale, the units need much more individual direction to make combat look good.
[17:31] {VG_Ranger} I test for SSS in Boston. I'm on the strike team hehe :)
[17:31] {HGS_Shadow} That's an interesting point, Vastin.
[17:31] {tiger700} Hey, will there be any new types of behaviors in NE for heroes?
[17:31] {Cyber_Jay} You mentioned that last night.
[17:31] {Golem_XIV} i think he is proud of it
[17:31] {Golem_XIV} hehe duh
[17:32] {CL_MisterSound} Thank all of you for the chat
[17:32] {Vastin} Yes, there are some new behaviors, (or old ones fixed up to work better.)
[17:32] {Golem_XIV} bye
[17:32] {CL_MisterSound} I must be off
[17:32] {PurpleAnt{1}} thank YOU
[17:32] {Kit5150} thx mistersound
[17:32] {Dragon} Before everyone takes off... a couple of things
[17:32] {UConnBBall} gn ty for all the support
[17:32] {HGS_Shadow} Goodbye, and thank you
[17:32] {Cyber_Jay} Thanks guys.
[17:32] {Vastin} Np.
[17:32] {Cyber_Jay} (and ladies)
[17:32] {tiger700} Nice talking to you cyberlore slaves :)
[17:32] {Love2Play} thank you !
