I just wanted to offer my condolences to all who knew Lolitra in person and otherwise.

She was an excellent lady from what i could tell with all of my many experiences with her. Her presence on this Earth will be greatly missed, and I do not doubt that her legacy will live on through the myriad of lives she touched.

Thinking of you Lolitra....

Very purrty!

Question: does the girl with the sword have a piercing under her lower lip?

Great idea Karyuu...

Can;t wait to learn about some of the guilds i don't know much about.

One thing on this players mind is the obsession with OOC chat in the main channel. Once in a while is fine, but if you are going to have a whole conversation that is completely OOC (ie. about lag, or npcs being down etc..) just make a group or use tells. It just pollutes the channel and really really ruins the atmosphere. i can deal with NPCs being down, and weird other bugs. But the players DO make the game in a sense. So let's all make it a better place. I mean, why not?

Yay for people who hang around more than 2 years.

 Well.. since this game is a MMORPG (emphasis on the MMO) i would think the point would be moreso to interact with the various people and characters you will meet in the game in a roleplay manner. If all you want are quests and leveling and beign silent all the time and running around fetching things for people, try a single player game.

But yes, the quest system, along with just about every other aspect of the game, needs tweaking at best. Hence prealpha testing.

Several members of the SCoY are actively involved at the moment. We are not acting officially as SCoY delegates since the SCoY is on a break for a few weeks for several reasons. However, we will be back and completely organized very soon. I know for a fact that myself, Einnol, Rioth and Lolitra are actively working with Vigel on a resolution for this conflict. But things are rather disorganized and it may be hard to resolve this one without a fight.

We all really feel like the Survivors are a great acomplishment, and we want to share this experience with everyone. Who knows, maybe you'll be a Survivor one day. So here is an exerpt from a story we are all working on together on the forums.

Background: A group of Survivors are heading out to help a friend, Marcin, who has reported that a Kran and group of Shadow Moths are attacking his hometown. Instantly, the Survivors prepare a wagon and begin their journey to the city under siege. Along the way, however, they run into several problems. This is just one of them:

Proglin slows down the Umbolic a bit and pets the creature on his neck as it seems... restless. All of a sudden, the Umbolic comes to a halt. "Hya! Hya!" Proglin shouts, trying to get the Umbolic back to a steady pace. Proglin sighs and lets his whip rest on the back of the creature cause his commands seem to have no affect at all. Then suddenly! Out of the darkness of the forest.... from in between the tall trees, come 4 black cloacked creatures... they look human and have their weapons drawn. Proglin doesn't hesitate one second, cause he instantly recognizes the pack of rogues. "Rall, seems you were wrong! " He shouts while quickly jumping in the back to grab "Eye Splitter" and "Peace Maker". The rogues don't hesitate one second after this sudden movement. They quickly dash up to the Survivors on the wagon and the tallest one of all swings his war hammer at Huor, while another one lays an arrow on his bow and aims for the Umbolic that's slowly stepping back, not fully aware of what's going on.

"Easton! Shoot him!" Proglin shouts while pointing at the rogue that's aiming for the Umbolic...

...Huor evades the deadly blow of the human, by ducking abruptly to the right. The war hammer crashes down onto the carts woodwork with a loud noise, and splinters fly everywhere. Huor picks up his sword but while bending down to do so, he notices blood dropping rapidly onto the bench and a piercing feeling to his head. Huor jumps out of the cart and gets into his fighting stance, his sword held upright to the ground and glares into the eyes of the rogue. Both of them start turning around each other, waiting for the first one to strike...
Huor wipes his eye, that in the mean time had filled with blood and he notices a whole patch of skin missing from his forehead. The man, seeing Huor somewhat distracted, uses this instant to attack. Huor, caught at his disadvantage, barely manages to dodge, hearing the whizzing sound of the hammer right next to his face... Huor stumbles back a little closing his left eye, and readies himself to attack. The evil man takes one step forward and swings his weapon; Huor is this time ready. With a quick move to the left, and launches powerful blow to his opponents head. The rogue, with an extremely swift movement raises his arm in the trajectory of the blade. A sound that seems like a clash of metal can be heard. The man grabs hold of the sword and drags Huor towards him. Seeing his situation turning to the worst, Huor lets go of his sword and thrusts his head in the direction of the human. A loud cracking noise can be heard as blood gushes out of the humans nose which had clearly been broken. The man lets go a loud scream, as he puts his hand to his nose. Huor uses this instant to jump onto the rogue's neck and swing behind him taking his head into a lock, and snapping his neck.
The lifeless body of the human falls to the ground like a stone. His headache getting worse and his vision all blurry, Huor stumbles around to find his sword. Battle sounds can be heard not far away, with swords clashing against each other, and cries of injured men. Huor, listens worried, franticly looking for his blade in the thick mist. Huor at last finds it under the dead body of the rogue, and stumbles back to the cart using his sword as a cane...

...At the word of Proglin's shout Easton instantly loads his bow. Looking around he sees a fellow bowmen firing towards the Umbiloc. Seeing Xoraxa not in the best of situations, he fires. The steel-tipped arrow whizzes out of the wagon and strikes the rogue bowmen right in the stomach.

"Urcgh!"

A loud screech comes from the rogue bowmen as he falls to his knees. Moments later the rogue goes for a dagger at his waist, hoping to get one more strike at the female dwarf just feet in front of him. Then an arrow hits the wounded rogue in the forehead, instantly killing him. Looking towards Xoraxa, Easton gestures a sign of relief and then turns around to help the wounded Huor to into the cart.

"Proglin, grab Xoraxa!"

Phew! That was close! What did you think? Well, if you want to be a part of the action, or just be a part of the Survivor's family, then let one of us know on our forums [www.ugo.sinet.it/survivors] or in game, and we'll have a chat with you in the Tavern. See you soon!
