hum... the last new \"bugs happen\" said to make the whole thing again... I got the exactelly same thing...
But this time I noted how many rubys I had, and the conclusion was 1 ruby = 3,3 trias (3,26412252071303037911122269646)

lol, if there\'s a minimum amount of xtals to get the Ring, then there were lot\'s of ppl who got nothing... like Zagro, everytime he found something he gave it to the 1st person he found, I remember that. And the guys who were giving dias away...

EDIT: I\'ve been reading the page again and Russian Vodka has another chance to make the migration again :D

*wanders if the devs made that because many ppl mistyped something... \'coz he got the same exactely e-mail

The conversion is not linear.

--\"The conversion is not linear.\"

yeah if you had a conversion rate of 2 or 3 to 1 thats only for a specific amount of gems.  If your interested, i worked out an estimate for the coversion rate, given the fact that its logarithmic:

Tria = log to the base z of (X/Y)
where z approx = 1.0004575
x = total value of your gems (rubies = 1, emaralds = 10, diamonds = 100)
y approx = 10.39646

Helps if you know how to calculate logs i suppose :P

Have tested it through 100 - 26000 gems, prob dosnt work for low gem amount, especially not gem amounts under 10.  The devs made it not linear so that the players who had huge amounts of cyrstals didnt get a massive head start, i assume.

And your mother and sis play planshift?  thats amazing, seriously your family must be one of a kind. (in a good way, of course)

Trust me. You don\'t want a family that plays online games. There\'s nothing more humiliating than having a mom that calls you a n00b. :(

Anyway, not exactly a FAQ-related thing, so please move it to some other thread somewhere.

Will there be a really hard \'Boss Stage\' at the end of the migration?


Pretty much, yes. That\'s a developer-only stage, though.

Quote
so....how many stages of migration r there gonna be?


It -should- end somewhere around christmas, and I\'m not sure exactly how many stages there are supposed to be. But there can\'t be many left.

I call my mom a newb :P but somehow she has more xtals than me...
And from the point of view of moms we are newbs... to the RL world

As you said, there won\'t be much stages, but I\'m sure the last one will be very long, the testing one... So expect CB after xmas, and if it comes earlier, you\'ll be even more exited.

in the MB charecter creation one of the advantages is starting off with 200 trias. If this is still an option in CB will it be more than 200?

I hate to ask this, because I know it\'s probably been answered before, but I can\'t find it, so here goes:

Q: Where exactly am I supposed to download CB from?

Q2: Will the system requirements for the game be raised?

This is somewhat dissappointing.  I came to this game and couldn\'t play it cause I didn\'t have enough RAM.  I got more yesterday, only to find that the servers were shut down.  That\'s my luck for ya.

The character creation of CB is nothing like the one in MB.

http://www.planeshift.it would be a good place to try.

There never were any set requirements, however I\'d say CB requires less than MB. But a relatively normal computer with 512MB ram, ~1.5 - 2 GHz and a somewhat new Graphics card should be able to run it just fine. Loading times might be a little longer if you have less RAM, and the overall gameplay might be a little more choppy, but as long as you have somewhere around 256MB or more, you\'ll be fine.

The ring is supposed to be an object to show that you played MB (Might do something more, like give access to some exclusive store or something later), so please, don\'t give it away / sell it to newbies. If you don\'t want it, we might just as well delete it from the DB

What about those that played MB but never got a ring? I was off by 100 tria :(
So, if it symbolizes that you\'ve played MB, why is it restricted for people who collected more crystals?

Q: How many bugs are there left?
Q: Are all data files (maps, models, textures) installed on the server (no extra data that has to be merged into CB)?
Q: Will guilds get some kind of \"forum\" ingame? Or any other external site replasing matterial/option/tool/place?

Edit: put in an extra ?

Hmmm ok I know I\'m a n00b and using this thread is very dangerous for my first post but I\'ve cruised a bit around the forum before and I ESPECIALLY read through this thread before posting, so I hope it won\'t get deleted/flamed/ignored...

Haven\'t had the chance of playing MB (downloaded it but when I wanted to play it the server was gone).
Other than this, Project: Entropia is my only MMORPG experience so far, so I was wondering about a few interesting things:

1) Player interaction. Given that combat will be a \"click once, then see it happen\" experience, I wonder if there are other player interactions between players possible, like, for instance, waving, doing a thumbs-up, throwing a kiss, stuff like that?

2) I know this is a fantasy MMORPG but, given the fact that it is different from anything previous, is the dev team considering also a \"modern\" range of weapons? I mean, axes, swords and bows are pretty common to a lot of (MMO)RPGs but would you consider developing modern weaponry (something like lightsabers and laser blasters)- or such weapons but with a phantasy-twist to them? Also, besides armor (which won\'t be implemented too soon from what I gather), will there also be shields for protection? And if yes, will in \"party vs mob\" or even \"guild war\" type combat formationing be possible as to make use of combined shielding for better protection, like the \"Turtle formation\"?

3) (forgot to add this one, so it\'s edited) Will there be a mentorship system implemented? Like in Project: Entropia, for helping out newcomers there is a mentorship system, where for helping out a n00b (which becomes a disciple of said mentor), the mentor is rewarded?

3) A: There will be an system, so that noobs don\'t have to ask question to regular players and get helped without pissing people off.

Q: News stated that conten would added continuously to the public server. Does this also count for program code (program updates)?
