Indeed. The Yliakum flora and fauna is very likely to be different from the Ryzom flora and fauna
Uniqueness is very important to the developers.

When the Irishman is drunk he rhymes and chats,
and thinks of himself quite the chap,
but when he's sober and clears his head,
he finds in his skull a nebula has spread,
for an Irishman past intoxication,
is like any Man in full starvation.

Past the booze and into the haze,
his minds now moves in random pace,
thinking himself quite a Keats,
he announces himself full of feats,
and no longer wary of his station,
plunging fully into lofty conversation,
the Irishman now faces Hubris himself.

Hubris chastens and sorrows the mind,
and drink becomes the fellow's fine,
after binging for a while, the good man
ponders a many wile. The final conclusion
eludes him yet. For a ditch is now his
drunkard's bed.

That's right. I arrived later as well - but I heard that once crystals appeared randomly in those days, and collecting them quickly was not easy.

Very true. And if you had collected enough crystals you could go to a website to buy objects such as swords. The old days!

In which release was it possible for weather to "fade in all spiffy-like"?

This one shouldn't be too hard...

Well, technically weather was present with fading-in and all in the Molecular Blue release. It even had puddles that would form in the streets. Problem was that it also lagged 99% of the people to death, so it was rewritten at some point. So if you mean when weather with fading-in was present in the Crystal Blue releases, I'll leave that to someone else to look up

Haha, I messed up the order and Santiago's name, but close enough indeed

New question:

Which PlaneShift developer held a presentation about PlaneShift for a big internet company?
To Answer: the developer's name and the company's name.
Bonus: Year and link to video

I have an iPhone 3G, and know many PS players and devs who have an Apple mobile device, whether cellular phone or iPod Touch.

It has been proven before: http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=33170.msg382211#msg382211

that the iPhone can handle PS 0.4.03, which is fairly close to 0.5, and if it didn't work, using a 0.4.03 renderer or CS1.4 instead of 1.9 for rendering would make it work.

That was a fake I don't think any phone can handle PS, really. Perhaps in a few years with hardware getting better and Crystal Space becoming more efficient.

The person (a woman) in the quiz answered NEUTRAL. OMGWTF

"(a woman)" What are you trying to say?

I meant totally nothing by it. In hindsight I see how some people could take it wrong. Meh, says more about you than me that you took it that way

Wasn't it Bereror who initially implemented the checkers-like game? I know DaveB works on it these days and expanded it greatly into the general "minigames" system.
The first one who really thought up the rules and "lore" of a minigame was Kerol with his Groffeltoe.
