Its called the CVS log  
CVS Link
That should at least answer half your question.  

[Monketh]

Q: Will we have different items of clothing in CB? (Other than those from Char-creation.)

[fken]

ok but for the other question

Q: what is it still to do before the release? Do a list for the things they still have to do could be a good idea so people will stop to ask \"When does CB arrive?\"

There is no such list. Not even for us. We have an idea about what must be done but during testing we discover problems which causes that list to grow because we suddenly see the need to implement additional stuff to make things usable. This is the main reason why things are going slow now. Lots of unforeseen things we need to do.

Q : if someone tell you a story could the dev write it into the game. For example, a NPC could say that once upon a time... Is it possible ? and is it possible to create a scenario with these one ?


I\'m thinking about a story I\'ve written for PS and my character and in fact it could be a good scenario when I think about it : this is a Dead Dermorians\' kingdom which has been destructed by an orcs attack something like 15-20 years ago. This place is called Yannaeh and there are some dead-alive elfes (kind of Zombies). J.R. Tolkien speaks about elfes that could dye by sadness... that\'s what gives me this idea...the zombies are old Dermorians that cry for their lost one and turn into zombies and there could be not too hard to create the monsters... just takes the Dermorians and turn them into zombies - not dead but not alive. For the kingdom try to use some yliakum textures and add a jungle textures... the kingdom is inhabited since a long time and has been destroyed by the orcs dont forget... for the story i wrote, It\'s in french but i could try to translate this one... As devs wants...

PS: My character believes he is the only one that survives from the slain. He has been saved by a strange Orc... During the Slain he was between 0 and 5 years (He is 20 yet)... I know it could be a problem to write something in the game that remains a character that is already in the game. You can\'t take every background in PS.... but when I wrote this story I didn\'t thought it could be a good scenario and I hope it could helps you.

[dfryer]

If a well-written story is compatible with PS, it is possible that somehow it could be included (or you could tell it yourself, acting as a bard).

A couple problems with your story - everyone in Yliakum would wonder what an \"orc\" is (I don\'t think they exist in this world).  Dermorians, while \"elves\", are not the same kind of immortal creatures that live in Tolkien\'s world.  Also, I\'m not sure how the undead factor into planeshift\'s world.

Posts on creating areas or creatures or historical events should probably be in the appropriate thread (use the \"search\" button or read the sticky threads) in the wish list.

[fken]

Ok but I think there will be a creature like orc in the CB release or later...just need to change his name in my story and there are no zombies in Tolkien\'s World and less elfes that turn into zombies lol it comes from my imagination

To stay in the spirit of this threat :
Q : What about our names ? somebody speak about first and lastname for characters and some people say they will be erased when CB will come... is that true?

[Kuiper7986]

Is the game going to require broadband for \"comfortable\" playing or will the 56ker\'s and Broadband people both play at a certain speed that is suitable for both parties?

PS doesn\'t require much network bandwidth. It should work fine with 56k modem. Downloading PS for the first time will be another matter though :-)

All characters will be deleted, and you will have to recreate them. There has been some talking about reserving your old character name for your new characters, however noone really has confirmed this bit.

When creating, you\'ll be entitled to insert a first name (not a nickname) and a last name (not a nickname either). So you\'re not Shadowman Assassin, because that is not a name. That\'s stupidity. You\'re... John Smith, or whatever your imagination can come up with. The game will also have name generators, if you find you can\'t create a proper name for your character, or just to give you some inspiration as to what you could call yourself.

[fken]

But when someone doesn\'t want a last name... or want something that represent not a name but a designation ? like Charles LeBon, Charle Magne, gronk PrinceOfPersia or daemia QueenOfAvalon ? It seems to be a problem for you...

and is there really a program that send MB account to CB account ? Because I\'ve see it and post my my nickname and password and even if it was on the sourceforge server I hope I dont do a dumb thing...

[Levski]

Will apostrophies (\') and dashes (-) be allowed in names?
