Alright! Who is the A**HOLe or A**HOLES who stole the art in the plaza? Whoever you are I hope your computer blows it\'s guts skyhigh. I hope you get hunted down for the slug you are and hung from the staff as an example. Damn you make me sick.

Did you stop to think that perhaps the server rebooted? You shouldn\'t start wildly accusing people of things untill you know, for a fact, what happened. :)

But the art inside the temple is still there, so in that case only the plaza got rebooted. ;)

Sorry Mogura and all if thats the case, but like Sinon said only the plaza art is gone. Actually I do hope that is the case.

looking at the screenshots, it would be hard (if not impossible) to pick them all up. Would need to make same mod to do so...
And yea, I wondered who placed the ones in Aendar\'s (:P) temple...
but that\'s some impressive job, Psybur.

I would have assumed the plaza xtals were swiped if the temple ones were still aloft. And been pissed off, too. Can a server reboot make the map look different in one place? And, is that what happened?

Either someone took the crystals or someone other deleted their entry from  the database. These are the 2 posibillities which could have occured. Too  bad they are gone :(

We knew the risks when the project started. Art, any art, is never permanent ;) At least we had the chance to see it, and we have the screenshots.

And you know what? While we still have the ability to create crystal art, we will :D

Yes, even I knew the risk.  I am still happy I did it though. Also to the devs: Can you look into the database or something to find out who stole the xstals? Like player soandso took a ruby from coords 1,2,3?

[edit] Thankyou people who donated. I am planning out the next big project (thinking where to put the xstals, how many, and taking coords to build a platform) :}

Do any of the devs know how to make bezier curves? Crystal Space has the ability to make them. I think learning that and using them would be a lot easier and more effiicient than making everything all blocky. I want to know how to make a bezier curve so I can make a good arch, not a stupid blocky arch :{

Well, if the crystals really were wiped in a server crash, the next proper restart of the server should put them back up.  I\'ve hidden crystals before, and after a crash they dissapeared, but after a proper restart they came back.
There's a fine line between genius and insanity.

Fortunately, I have good balance.

Even if they did look it up, It was a mean thing to do, but its not a crime...theres nothing you can do about it...
