Title pretty much sums it up; I can't raise anybody's ear in the IRC. What's the best way to go about getting my character name unlocked?

I'd use another name, but... actually no, I wouldn't. Moogie or BUST! (I'm sure I'll give in eventually if I can't get it, but I'd be super sad not to.)

There's been too many forum hosts and whatnot for any of my oldest to survive, but the earliest I still have dates back to 2006, about 3 years into my time here. It was from a user named Venae Rell, asking something about the Enkidukai language. I apparently responded with some useful lore information, but the sent message wasn't preserved.

Then a few days later, a message from ThomPhoenix thanking me for joining some contest? xP Who knows, it's all lost to the mists of time.

That is to say, the tenth anniversary of my account registration, not the game itself-- which of course is much older. This is also meaningless because I'm never here! Woo, anniversary of me not being here! I'm sure some still celebrate it every year.

So, anyways. Still chugging along, eh? Planeshift: one of life's constants. Keep on keeping on, you brave warriors of opensaucy gaming! You should advertise more; I never see anyone out there in the wider Interwebs talking about PS. One day, my memory is going to fade, and it'll be as if this place never existed-- part of my subconscious will feel sad about it, but I won't remember why. I'll remember nothing, except for a vague sense of loss and a fleeting image of a ruby crystal, encrusted atop the crumbling stone pillar of some old, dark temple... It'll feel oddly comforting, this dreamlike scene, but I'll never be able to put my finger on just why it feels so... important to me. Then I would shrug, assume it's from "some jumping puzzle game I once played", and go about my day, never again knowing of this place.

But for now, my brain occasionally taps me on the shoulder and whispers, "Hey, you remember that one place, with the people and the things?" and I think, "Oh yeah... I wonder how they're doing these days. Maybe I has messages!" And I did. I had two messages. But more importantly, the project itself continues. Now, go out there and show people you still exist, damnit!

Yes jose, I tried letting you know 6+ months ago that you can delete it.

Hi Drey, Drakkie, Thom and everyone else! I love how we all seem to come out of the woodwork at the same time, haha. It's nice to see you guys still alive and kicking.

What are you working on these days, Thom? Congrats on achieving a game dev career!

Oh snap, Phin. Snap.

that thread's still better. 

I'd like to see Seppy make an appearance in this thread now.  Maybe kix too.  Pigs will fly when moogsters makes a new post.....

MEMORIES!!!!!

I can hear my name spoken across space and time.

And I always crop up in threads like this, it should have been obvious. ;]

It's a Moogie...

Let's see...I remember

Getting slapped by you! Aha, good times...Happened quite a bit I think.

I like to think there were fewer whiners back in MB...not much to whine about really, you can't much complain about the crystal picking up system.  And with fewer whiners comes less Anality (new work) and agressiveness.  Back then it was rampant RS prejudice

I'll the same o/ Moogie.

(I used to go by Waylander and Cadoras...you slapped me while I was Waylander )

Totally agreed. I remember the closeness. People were grateful to be involved in such a special project.
