Ok Everyone I\'d like to announce my retirement from these boards.  

I\'m not leaving the Planeshift community!  This game roxorz!  No, Now that I have been accepted as a WTB Member in the Planeshift Settings Department, I\'ve decided that the only way to keep out of trouble and from going insane is to shut myself up on these forums.  You see as a develloper, people might take what I say to heart and would probably hold myself, or even worse, the dev team to whatever I think on issues that I reply to.  So, the best way to deal with this problem is to limit the amount of posting that I do.  Another problem that is fundamentaly the same is the matter of confidential information from the dev team.  You all know how \'big a mough I have\' (note: this is in no way a sexual reference ), so again the only way to limit this is to stop posting.

So that was a bit long-winded... but I think you guys get the message.  If you want to contact me, I\'ll still check up on these forums, participate in the Arcane Order, and of course be in the IRC channels.

Edit:

holy shizeh!!!!  if you havn\'t seen this poor little bastard you have got to!!!  Apparently this kid was just screwing around with a camera at school and his friend sent in the film... poor little bastard fat kid this is a riot!!!  Make sure to watch his original film and then watch the remixes... it RoxxorZ/!!

has anyone seen the picture of Mario Cippolini on the beach, surrounded by \'beautiful women\' during the Tour de France?  I wish he had been in the tour for at least the first couple flat stages... but is it just me or are the women around him just... not pretty?

If there are to be tradesmen and we want the game to play smoothly and realisticly - crafters or miners shouldnt have tospend an hour or more hawking their wares in a shout channel.  It would be nice if tey could dump their goods off in an NPC of their own who would offer/sell them to other players - obviously such NPCs would be costly and where they are \'planted\' would have to be limited - maybe players can only \'hire\' them in buildings that the player owns - or maybe craft guilds could be set up for new tradesmen (or tradeswomen (or tradeskran )) could hire npc\'s would be organized within the guild building... I just want to see more trade and less shouting in the Planeshift system.

Will player made buildings be destructible?

Some of us are working on a tree castle  - and we are currently leaning towards possibly having a unique gaurdian race of creatures to defend the tree - these beings are ancient - we havn\'t yet discussed in detail what they would look like, but I think since there are so many great artists on these forums some help from you guys would be appreciated.

I have been asked to edit this post to be a bit more discreet if you read this before I edited it feal lucky

If you are a good artist (especially seeking good at drawing concept art sketches) head over to the Special Tree Forum (through the RP forum) and apply as an artist... e will tell you what we want from there

Many people are confused as to what Yliakum is... I looked it up in the overview to make sure I had it straight... and I\'m afraid that now I have found the problem.

This quote is from the overview pasge on the planeshift website: \"Yliakum is an underground city. The inhabitants, a mixture of different races, also call it the \"City of the Azure Sun\", referring to the huge crystal that gives the city its light and supplies the land with life-giving energy. Yliakum is located thousands of meters under the surface inside a huge excavated stalactite, hanging inside a cave so huge that it could contain any kingdom of the surface. For this reason IT is structured in grades...\"

This quote, I believe is the source of the confusion... it refers to Yliakum as a city at the beggining and then by the end Yliakum is made out of layers... making it the entire inside of the stalagmite...  But then that idea is disputed in this quote from the History section: \"But Laanx and Talad were young and they didn\'t ask any other details on that as they were blinded by the possibility of creating a new world. Therefore, they used their powers to enlarge the niche and they obtained the huge cave made by eight levels.\"

Obviously the \'new world\' = \'the eight levels\' and therefore = Yliakum...

So I think the idea that Yliakum is a city is just where the Italien devs who made the site had some minor problems with translation... what they meant to say (I guess) is that Yliakum IS the world inside the stalagmite where the player races reside... although nothing says that it excludes the Stone Labyrinths.


-> looking at this from another angle though in which the word city was meant -> Yliakum might just be the capital of our stalagmite that hasnt been implemented yet

EDIT: Dev word on this issue would be appreciated - if this is a city a forum to discuss it would be nice like the \'Tree Castle\' Forum
