Title: Ruby rain
Post by: Talad on December 23, 2005, 04:55:02 pm: (news taken from main site)

Merry Christmas to everyone! Planeshift Team wishes you an happy and prosperous 2006.

We have a small present for you: a rain of ruby crystals has been predicted by scientists and it will be in game during all holidays!

To see the rubies you need this file (http://www.planeshift.it/download/naturalres.zip) . Substitute with the one you have in planeshift/art/things/naturalres.zip.

Good hunt!

Ah, nostalgia :)

But this message doesn\'t appear to be on the main site yet.
edit: It is now :)

Happy holidays to everyone!

Post by: TiagoTiago on December 23, 2005, 07:12:46 pm: hello, I am currently not in my computer, 4% downloading ps in this one, so I could be wrong about what I will say

why isn\'t the holiday rain file included in the update files so people could just hit the update button and get it?

after the holidays just replace it with the regular file.

btw, just curious, are the rubys really there or is it just a replacement to the raindrop texture or something?

Perhaps because it would take too long time to distribute changes to the mirrors and it was easier and faster to give a link to download one single file.

Post by: Cyl on December 24, 2005, 03:50:32 pm: *hint* The Hydlaa Plaza is a great place for finding rubies.

And if you still cant find any, /tell me when I am on and I will give you around 20.

Post by: backeroo on December 24, 2005, 04:42:49 pm: Thanks, found them. I was just looking at the wrong Places, as i expected them to be scattered over a wider area.

Post by: miadon on December 24, 2005, 10:11:31 pm: I would like to see a screenshot too.

Post by: TheMinority on December 24, 2005, 11:32:31 pm: Me too. I have seen the rubies on the ground and have even collected a few, but I have yet to see the \"rain\".
Title: And I can't be there!
Post by: LigH on December 25, 2005, 12:09:54 am: Please, be so kind, and keep a few crystals for me, too. I\'m on vacation at my parents\', and they don\'t have suitable hardware to visit you, and get them myself...
Title:
Post by: Nikodemus on December 25, 2005, 12:29:47 am: I don\'t think there is any rain.
The old MB hunt is just back for some time in similiar form. Nothing more i think

Well, Cyl, that\'s an idea. But you could have collected them for zeitvertreib instead. ;)
(But I think some people should have better things to do during the Christmas holidays.)

Well, they must have gotten on the ground somehow.:)

Post by: ylikone on December 26, 2005, 03:52:13 am: They really should have made the rubies appear in harder to find places, AND made them worth something!
That would have been a good x-mas gift!

Their worth is symbolic.

Assuming the wipe doesn\'t happen for a good long time, people will want to have rubies as gifts. They\'ll be valuable simply because not everyone has them.

Post by: Loginer on January 01, 2006, 01:00:43 pm: At this time, i think everybody has one.

Post by: dragonfire999 on January 01, 2006, 05:47:20 pm: Well, i dont have one. Not only because it is strictly OOC but also because i am too lazy to get from Oja to hydlaa. So i will still like it as a gift :)

Title:
Post by: TheMinority on January 02, 2006, 04:11:32 pm: Look low when you walk, especially in corners. They like dark areas where shadows often fall.

I\'ve found over 40. I got bored one night. XD
Title:
Post by: dragonfire999 on January 02, 2006, 06:10:48 pm: theres 5 in one area. walk back and forth and pick em up as they spawn XD

Post by: steuben on January 02, 2006, 06:17:17 pm: devil238, have you also downloaded the update from the mail page?
Title:
Post by: Cyl on January 02, 2006, 06:17:22 pm: Actually there are about 10 around hydlaa plaza and the temple.
Title:
Post by: peeg on January 02, 2006, 06:46:10 pm: I collected nealy 500 of them, but not a single on at the plaza. oO
If your looking for them you should have a look underground ;)
