(07/07 04:51:02) Chat.log aktiviert...
(07/07 04:53:16) Michael Engberg: I hope so.. THey are not the grand ages one would hope for. THey were made for specific items, but they might be something someone would like to see. Next
(07/07 04:53:31) DRCLVortmax1: Ashtar?
(07/07 04:53:33) Ashtar: This morning Kodama mentioned the restoration of Negilahn. Do you think the restoration will be completed by the end of the year? What can you tell us about the age itself?
(07/07 04:56:05) Michael Engberg: I think Negilahn could be restored very soon. However, the DRC disagrees sometimes. THey worry about the creatures of the age. I guess its good to be cautious. :) Next
(07/07 04:56:17) DRCLVortmax1: Hailah?
(07/07 04:56:18) hailah: The two books in the Museum - I forget what the ages are supposed to be called - maybe Negilahn is one? Will they be accessible?
(07/07 04:58:35) Michael Engberg: They are on the list. The timetable changes due to resources given to the DRC. Someday they will be open. Next
(07/07 04:58:44) DRCLVortmax1: ShadowMan?
(07/07 04:58:46) ShadowMan: During the restoration process, have you discovered any ages that are inhabited by the Bahro creatures? If so, will they be made publically accessable in the foreseeable future?
(07/07 05:00:35) Michael Engberg: The Bahro are interesting. Like any age we have protocols that we have to abide by. Next
(07/07 05:00:46) DRCLVortmax1: Jonathan?
(07/07 05:00:47) Jonathan: Would you explain the recent appearance of scaffolding in the Great Shaft, when was it installed, and by whom?
(07/07 05:03:30) DRCLVortmax1: Please keep your KI use down. Save any pictures for after the meeting.
(07/07 05:04:33) Michael Engberg: The great Shaft... I would talk to Watson about that one.. He was dealing with the shaft.. No I haven't heard from Watson. Have any of you? Next
(07/07 05:04:41) DRCLVortmax1: Yali?
(07/07 05:04:45) Yali: Can you give us any information on Eder Tsogahl?
(07/07 05:06:51) Michael Engberg: its just another garden... NIce, cool area to sit with friends. eat lunch .. Willow and myself go there every once and awhile. Next
(07/07 05:06:59) DRCLVortmax1: Eleri?
(07/07 05:07:02) DRCLeri1: where are you finding all the linking books, and how do you decide which ones to visit?
(07/07 05:08:17) Michael Engberg: City Proper.. and if they are safe :) Next
(07/07 05:08:23) DRCLVortmax1: vid?
(07/07 05:09:41) DRCLVortmax1: vid? You there?
(07/07 05:10:05) vid: gah
(07/07 05:10:10) vid: here... having problems
(07/07 05:10:21) DRCLVortmax1: YOu're up
(07/07 05:10:54) vid: Mr Engberg, back when the restoration was still going full speed, I remember the DRC was very upset by the influx of Uru Explorers. Has that distinction pretty well disappeared?
(07/07 05:14:49) Michael Engberg: Well we were upset because we wished we had a better way to handle it. I think we want anyone who fells like joining us down here should. We need your support.. and as KOdama says " Your money"
(07/07 05:15:01) Michael Engberg: next
(07/07 05:15:03) DRCLVortmax1: Tallonenx?
(07/07 05:15:08) Tallonenx: Do you think that there will be some main guild affiliated ages, like the Garisson, opened in the future?
(07/07 05:15:59) Michael Engberg: Yes. next
(07/07 05:16:03) Undercover Brother: When will you begin allowing authorized explorers to access new Ages/areas to test for safety?
(07/07 05:16:14) DRCLVortmax1: Undercover Brother?
(07/07 05:16:19) DRCLVortmax1: Yeah, That.
(07/07 05:16:29) Undercover Brother: Sorry.
(07/07 05:16:34) DRCLVortmax1: It's okay :)
(07/07 05:19:06) Michael Engberg: Access to new areas and ages.. hmm.. right now we will need your help to make sure the old ages still work. This summer a few will start getting Authorized access
(07/07 05:19:27) Michael Engberg: next
(07/07 05:19:28) DRCLVortmax1: Ashtar?
(07/07 05:19:30) Ashtar: Regarding Negilahn again. At one time I heard rumors that the D'ni used pods of some kind to explore the age. Will be allowed to freely roam the age ourselves or are the pods still a necessity?
(07/07 05:22:12) Michael Engberg: Pods seem to be needed. Negilahn isn't the only place the D'ni used pods. We even coined the term "Pod ages". Next
(07/07 05:22:16) DRCLVortmax1: Marten asks: What new Age are you most excited about, and why?
(07/07 05:25:04) Michael Engberg: Rahtevnee. Because we recently found it and it has an interesting feel to it. Next
(07/07 05:25:12) DRCLVortmax1: Darin Wolfe?
(07/07 05:25:24) Darin Wolfe: Has the DRC had any luck in finding the Releeshan book that Atrus wrote? And have you had any contact with the D'ni?
(07/07 05:26:22) Michael Engberg: WE have not found the book. Yes to the D'ni. Next
(07/07 05:26:25) DRCLVortmax1: A.Lingo?
(07/07 05:26:29) A.Lingo: Earlier today Kodama mentioned the age of Kahlo. Could you give us some information on the native airborne creatures, and the D'ni game/sport they were used in?
(07/07 05:30:47) Michael Engberg: THe creatures and landscape itself seem to live off each other. The game the D'ni played is still a bit unknown. We do know they used the pub as a place to gamble and bet on teams. Next
(07/07 05:31:01) Tweek: Are you aware that explorers are using yeesha's path of the shell to access unopened Ages such as Ahnonay, K'veer and Er'cana? How do you feel about this?
(07/07 05:33:25) Michael Engberg: Kodama mentioned it to me today. THe DRC are trying to make Ages available for people. Yeesha does what she wants. next
(07/07 05:33:30) DRCLVortmax1: ShadowDude?
(07/07 05:33:33) ShadowDude: Have the DRC found the books to prison ages such as Spire or Haven? If so, does the DRC intend to make them accessable to explorers?
(07/07 05:35:06) Michael Engberg: No and why would you wanr to go to a prison age.... Umm Prison??? Next
(07/07 05:35:12) hailah: Have you found any evidence of D'ni "librarianship"? The D'ni Decimal Task Force was doing some research and Myridean was going to send it to /shout I was going to ask about D'ni librarianship, but I'm more interested in your contact with D'ni - please tell us more...
(07/07 05:35:13) DRCLVortmax1: hailah?
(07/07 05:37:09) Michael Engberg: I believe Marie knows more about that subject. As for D'ni contact..
(07/07 05:37:28) Michael Engberg: Sorry I can't say.. next
(07/07 05:37:31) DRCLVortmax1: Yali?
(07/07 05:37:33) Yali: When do you see the Island of K'veer being opened up to explorers, and can you give us some information on layout of the island itself?
(07/07 05:41:14) Michael Engberg: its on the list like everything else. I'm sorry but i am going to rant for a bit.
(07/07 05:42:12) Michael Engberg: Its hard to come to a meeting called "New Ages" ... THe DRc are working hard on mjust making the cavern safe once again.
(07/07 05:43:36) Michael Engberg: THe new ages .. they exist but not in the plenty they once did. i'd love to come to a meeting and say 3 new ages are opening in the next 3 months.. but it is not the case at this time. Resouces are thin and worries are high.
(07/07 05:44:08) Michael Engberg: its fustrating.. but a hump we must battle for a better day. next
(07/07 05:44:42) DRCLVortmax1: Mari?
(07/07 05:44:43) Mari': Are any areas of the city that are now unaccessible going to be open by the end of the year? Like the lower levels of the Library, Guild Hall or behind the curtin?
(07/07 05:45:23) Michael Engberg: more likely in the coming year
(07/07 05:45:48) A.Lingo: Have you or any other member of the
(07/07 05:45:56) A.Lingo: Sorry...
(07/07 05:46:11) Michael Engberg: slow to start.. but ramping up. Next
(07/07 05:46:27) DRCLVortmax1: Eleri?
(07/07 05:47:00) DRCLeri1: We've been told that much of the work Cyan did was based on Catherine's journals... does that mean the DRC found Tomahna?
(07/07 05:48:42) Michael Engberg: we found the cleft... if we found Tomahna would we tell you? Did we even tell you we found the cleft? :) Next
(07/07 05:48:51) DRCLVortmax1: Tallonenx?
(07/07 05:50:33) DRCLVortmax1: Tallonenx?
(07/07 05:50:48) Tallonenx: my question is not about an age other than the onw we are on now, but will we be able to visit the Park of the Ages mentioned in the Book of Tiana (near the Jaren District here in D'ni) and could you expand upon what the park of the ages is?
(07/07 05:51:29) DRCLVortmax1: Just as a note, we're almost out of time. We will not get to all questions, unfortunately.
(07/07 05:52:42) Michael Engberg: I hope so. Can't really expand on it.. You'll have to see it yourself. Let me say one thing about another place in the cavern instead
(07/07 05:53:54) Michael Engberg: I saw a question on the forums about the guild of illusions
(07/07 05:55:18) Michael Engberg: The house in the paintings belongs to the guild of Illusions . Remember those drawings are artist renditions of a place and of rumors. THe place doesn't look like that anymore.
(07/07 05:56:38) Michael Engberg: The rumors that the Guild house can be found in other ages have been documented on various occasions. THe DRC are investigating those claims. JUst an FYI. Next
(07/07 05:56:41) DRCLVortmax1: And our last question, IanWatson?
(07/07 05:56:44) IanWatson: Are there plans for any more projects like the Great Zero calibration where all the explorers can help with restoration? I understand progress is frustratingly slow for both the DRC and the explorers, and I want to help however I can.
(07/07 05:59:11) Michael Engberg: Yes. As Er'cana has fallen into ruins since i last saw it. Safety systems need to be replaced , but I think we can get everyonce help to feed the lake. We need light down in this darkness... I'll take 2 more.. cause I am slow. :)
(07/07 05:59:22) Michael Engberg: next
(07/07 05:59:37) DRCLVortmax1: Okay, Alhon?
(07/07 06:00:23) Alhon: Can yout tell us anything about the restoration of Katha Island, and is there any connection to Guildmaster Kadish?
(07/07 06:01:47) Michael Engberg: Many of the DRC want us to work on Katha Island.
(07/07 06:02:27) Michael Engberg: Who knows about Kadish.. he seems to be a popular man.
(07/07 06:02:31) Michael Engberg: next
(07/07 06:02:33) DRCLVortmax1: Beelo la Rue?
(07/07 06:02:36) Beefo la Rue: The Cavern is full of Amazing discoveries. What have you seen in the ages that has awed you the most?
(07/07 06:06:19) Michael Engberg: .. Okay Father alert. I would say the kindness of others, the community of explorers and the diversity of indivuals all coming together and making D'ni their home. :)
(07/07 06:06:36) DRCLVortmax1: Let's all thank Michael Engberg for being here, and for starting early!
(07/07 06:06:41) Michael Engberg: goodnight all and thank you for having me.

(07/07 06:07:11) Ashtar: Thanks Michael

(07/06 17:06:35) Dr. Kodama: alright let's get started
(07/06 17:06:41) Dr. Kodama: I'm ready.
(07/06 17:06:51) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Der alte Wolf ist da. Ok, lasst uns anfangen. Ich bin bereit.
(07/06 17:07:15) Dadguy: To Keep order, Wolfie usually fields the Qs...
(07/06 17:08:02) To BUDDIES: Dadguy: Wolfie nimmt normalerweise FRAGEN auf, nur für die rednerliste, nicht die fragen selbst
(07/06 17:08:15) Dr. Kodama: Who has the first question?
(07/06 17:08:19) Dr. Kodama: Thend.
(07/06 17:08:27) Thend: Can you tell us a little about what you do, Dr Kodoma, while we are waiting?
(07/06 17:08:50) Dr. Kodama: I work on restoring Ages. Early on, one of the first to get to a place and begin work.
(07/06 17:08:55) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Wer hat die erste Frage? Thend? Thend: Kannst du uns erzählen, was du machst?
(07/06 17:09:14) Dr. Kodama: I get to see many Ages although I also get to see many Ages that are canceled long before being made public.
(07/06 17:09:24) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Ich arebite an der restauration von zeitaltern, bin meist der erste der sie betritt
(07/06 17:09:46) Dr. Kodama: Regardless, I'm mostly involved in early phase restoration work.
(07/06 17:10:05) To BUDDIES: KOdama: Ich sehe viele Zeitalter, auch die, die nie öffentlich werden. Bin in den frühen restaurationsphasen beteiligt.
(07/06 17:10:26) Dr. Kodama: Determining whether or not an Age has a chance to be made safe for the public.
(07/06 17:10:48) Dr. Kodama: Given our resources - and sometimes regardless of the resources.
(07/06 17:10:55) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Ich bestimme ob ein zeitalter sicher genug ist um es öffentlich zugängluch zu machen
(07/06 17:11:04) Dr. Kodama: I'll let GW take questions now since he's here.
(07/06 17:11:16) CAGrayWolf: Sorry about that ... I crashed. I'm here now for you to PM
(07/06 17:11:33) CAGrayWolf: Dadguy, you have a question?
(07/06 17:11:37) To BUDDIES: Kodama: das ist abhängig von unseren Resourcen. Ich nehme nun Fragen von GW an.
(07/06 17:11:39) Dadguy: How accurate can we expect the Age List on the DRC site to be, as the restoration continues?
(07/06 17:11:45) Dr. Kodama: Not very.
(07/06 17:11:59) Dadguy: Is there a place to get info?
(07/06 17:12:02) Dr. Kodama: I'm not sure we've truly updated that in a while and most of those dates were based on our old schedules.
(07/06 17:12:04) To BUDDIES: Dadguy: Wie genau ist die Liste der Zeitalter auf der DRC seite
(07/06 17:12:19) Dr. Kodama: We will update that. We should have by now but we just haven't.
(07/06 17:12:23) Dadguy: Thx
(07/06 17:12:27) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:12:37) To BUDDIES: KOdama: Nicht sehr, zum Teil ist der Terminplan uberaltert. Wir sind nch nicht dazu gekommen.
(07/06 17:12:39) CAGrayWolf: Joao, you have a question?
(07/06 17:12:42) joao pedro: at the beginning of this year, it seemed as if you and mr. laxman were mainly working in the Age of Kahlo. why is that age now listed as suspended
(07/06 17:13:07) Dr. Kodama: These things often happen. We had hoped to be able to bring Kahlo along and make it available.
(07/06 17:13:22) To BUDDIES: Joao: Anfang des Jahres hast du und Laman an Kahlo gearbeitet, warum ist das nun hintenangesellt?
(07/06 17:13:33) Dr. Kodama: However, given the issues that we ran into and given our current resources (people and money) Kahlo had to be suspended.
(07/06 17:13:55) Dr. Kodama: It became unrealistic to expect us to be able to make it available to the public.
(07/06 17:14:06) Dr. Kodama: Hopefully, in the future, but just not now.
(07/06 17:14:31) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:14:34) CAGrayWolf: K'laamas, you have a question?
(07/06 17:14:41) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Sowas passiert. Wir hatten gehofft Kahlo früher zugänglich zu machen. Wir sind aber auf Probleme gestoßen, so dass wir es hinten an stellen mussten (Personal und Geld). Es wird unrealistisch. Vielleicht in der Zukunft.
(07/06 17:16:14) Dr. Kodama: Do we have a question?]
(07/06 17:16:15) Nikolas: I've not heard anything...
(07/06 17:16:26) K'laamas: Do you have any ballpark estimates for when Er'cana & Ahnonay will recieve Phase 5 approval?
(07/06 17:16:31) CAGrayWolf: ?shout K'laamas, you need to ask publically ... not to me.
(07/06 17:16:37) Tweek: has Kllama left us?
(07/06 17:16:40) CAGrayWolf: NM
(07/06 17:17:03) Dr. Kodama: Late this year, early next year.
(07/06 17:17:07) Dr. Kodama: for both.
(07/06 17:17:09) To BUDDIES: Klaamas Gibt es ein paar Schätzdaten wann Ercana un Ahnonay öffentlich zugänglich gemacht werden?
(07/06 17:17:10) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:17:18) CAGrayWolf: Tweek, You have a question?
(07/06 17:17:36) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Später dieses jahr oder früh nächstes Jahr, für beie Zeitalter.
(07/06 17:17:37) Tweek: how do you feel about the explorers that are "dabbling" in The Art?
(07/06 17:18:03) To BUDDIES: Tweek: was hälst du davon, dass Forscher nun selber die Kunst des Schreibens ausprobieren?
(07/06 17:18:29) Dr. Kodama: When they have created something that I want to see, I'll care.
(07/06 17:18:42) Dr. Kodama: I see no reason why they shouldn't be trying to learn it.
(07/06 17:18:59) Dr. Kodama: and maybe someday I'll visit something they create.
(07/06 17:19:20) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:19:26) CAGrayWolf: Joao, you have a question?
(07/06 17:19:29) joao pedro: I'd like to know if the DRC uses mantainer suits when first exploring a recently-discovered age.... I mean, some of them could be pretty dangerous, and others could even be "dead"
(07/06 17:19:32) To BUDDIES: Kodama: WEn sie etwas kreiert haben, dass ich sehen will, dann kümmere ich mich darum. Ich sehe keinen Grund warum sie es nicht lernen sollten. Und vielleicht besuche ich eines Tages die zeitalter, die sie schreiben.
(07/06 17:19:57) Dr. Kodama: Of course. We have to. Protocol.
(07/06 17:20:05) To BUDDIES: Joao: Benutzt der DRC ERhalteranzuge wenn er ein neues zeitalter das erste Mal besucht?
(07/06 17:20:11) Dr. Kodama: There are some very bad Ages.
(07/06 17:20:14) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:20:29) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Natürich. Ist eine Grundregel . Es gibt sehr gefährliche Zeitalter.
(07/06 17:20:30) CAGrayWolf: who eles?
(07/06 17:20:48) CAGrayWolf: Joao, another question?
(07/06 17:21:08) joao pedro: is eder tsogahl another age similar to Kemo and Delin, or is it completely different
(07/06 17:21:42) Dr. Kodama: Fairly similar. Another Garden...
(07/06 17:21:45) To BUDDIES: Joao: Ist Eder Tsogahl auch ein zeitalter, das kemo oder Delin ähnlich ist, oder ist es sehr anders?
(07/06 17:21:52) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:22:12) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Ziemlich ähnlich. Ein weiterer Garten.
(07/06 17:22:15) CAGrayWolf: Dadguy, you have a question?
(07/06 17:22:17) Dadguy: We are here today to hear about "The Ages". Can you tell us about some of these "bad Ages"?
(07/06 17:22:39) Dr. Kodama: Wouldn't you want to hear about Good Ages?
(07/06 17:22:50) Dadguy: Both.
(07/06 17:22:54) To BUDDIES: Dadguy: Wir sind hier um über Zeitalter zu sprechen. Kannst du uns etwas über diese gefährlichen zeitalter erzählen?
(07/06 17:22:59) Dr. Kodama: Bad Ages aren't very exciting. Go there, engulfed in flames...leave and never return.
(07/06 17:23:19) Dr. Kodama: Good Ages you might see someday.
(07/06 17:23:47) Dr. Kodama: What do you want to know about Good Ages?
(07/06 17:24:07) Dadguy: Tell us what we can expect? We are curious.
(07/06 17:24:15) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Willst du nichts über die Guten zeitalter hören? Dadguy : beides Kodama: SChlechte Zeitalter sind nicht sehr aufregend. Flammen, evtl kehrt man nie wieder zurück. Gute zeitalter kann man besuchen. Was willst du über gute Zeitalter wissen?
(07/06 17:24:40) To BUDDIES: Dadguy Sag unswas uns erwartet, wir sind neugierig.
(07/06 17:24:44) Dr. Kodama: You can expect new Ages. Some are quite different than what you've seen up to this point and some are not.
(07/06 17:25:12) Dr. Kodama: Some the D'ni used as recreational Ages and others are more private that we are still trying to figure out what they were used for.
(07/06 17:25:16) To BUDDIES: Ihr könnt neue Zeitalter erwarten. Manche sind sehr anders, als was ihr bisher gesehen habt, manche nicht.
(07/06 17:25:18) Dr. Kodama: Some are filled with water.
(07/06 17:25:25) Dr. Kodama: Some are filled with ice. v
(07/06 17:25:37) Dr. Kodama: Some are desert plains with strange creatures that can be ridden.
(07/06 17:26:04) Dr. Kodama: Some are filled with massive beasts.
(07/06 17:26:30) Dr. Kodama: And there are many spots here in the cavern we are trying to work on as well.
(07/06 17:26:41) Dr. Kodama: Given time and resources, you can expect a lot.
(07/06 17:26:51) To BUDDIES: Manche haben die D*ni zur Erholng benutzt, anderesind eher privat und wir versuchen immer noch heruaszufinden wozu sie gut waren. Manche sind mit wasser gefüllt, manche mit eis, manche wüsten, mit merkwürdigen kreaturen, die man reiten kann, andere haben riesige bestien darin.
(07/06 17:27:06) Dr. Kodama: So let's hope we have both and we'll all have much to enjoy.
(07/06 17:27:14) Dadguy: That is what I wanted to hear. Thx!
(07/06 17:27:25) Dr. Kodama: Very good. Next.
(07/06 17:27:30) CAGrayWolf: IanWatson, you have a question?
(07/06 17:27:34) IanWatson: Will existing public Ages continue to get attention? Several explorers have reported (for example) a tendency to black out in Teledahn whenever they try to touch anything, myself included.
(07/06 17:27:46) To BUDDIES: Und es gibt viele Orte hier in der Höhle, an denen wir auch arebiten wollen. Mit Zeit und Resourcen, da könnt ihr eine Menge erwarten. Lasst uns hoffen.
(07/06 17:28:16) Dr. Kodama: Yes, we are working very hard (I wish we didn't have to be working so hard) on Ages that have already been made public trying to get them to proper safety levels.
(07/06 17:28:22) To BUDDIES: Iain Wason: Wir man weite an den älteren zeitaltern arbeiten? Einige haben Probleme in teledahn.
(07/06 17:28:55) Dr. Kodama: Those are currently our first priority. As a result, newer Ages have been pushed a little. But that's just the way it works.
(07/06 17:29:04) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:29:07) CAGrayWolf: K'laamas, you have a question?
(07/06 17:29:10) K'laamas: Is there anything you could tell us about the nature of Eder Delin, other than it being another "Rest Age"? Any unique or interesting things about it or its history?
(07/06 17:29:19) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Ja, wir arbeiten hart daran (ich wünschte es wäre nicht so), damit die älteren zeitalter sicher öffentlich zugänglich sind. Die stehen bei uns oben auf der Liste.
(07/06 17:29:42) To BUDDIES: Als Folge davon können wir nicht an neuen zeitaltern arbeiten.
(07/06 17:30:10) Dr. Kodama: Not especially. The D'ni had quite a few Ages that seemed to have been written for the same reason parks are created in cities: plaes to relax.
(07/06 17:30:22) To BUDDIES: Klaamas: Was kannst du uns interessantes über eder Delin erzählen, ein Gartenzeitaler? Was gibt es interessantes in seiner geschichte?
(07/06 17:30:35) Dr. Kodama: I'm not sure there is much more ot is background. At least not that I know of currently.
(07/06 17:30:38) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:30:41) CAGrayWolf: Thend, you have a question?
(07/06 17:30:43) Thend: Are problems with Ages you test out solved only by ordinary means (repairing structures, etc) or are the DRC also prompted to 'dabble' with The Writing themselves, in order to stabilize Ages that may be recoverable?
(07/06 17:31:12) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Nichts bsonderes. Die D'ni hatten ein paar Zeitaletr die sie wie Parks zur erhloung geschrieben haben. Ich glaube mehr hintergrund gibt es nicht.
(07/06 17:31:35) Dr. Kodama: Dabbling with the writing is very dangerous as you all know. We prefer more ordinary means.
(07/06 17:31:48) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:31:51) CAGrayWolf: Tweek, You have a question?
(07/06 17:31:53) Tweek: Are you aware that explorers have been using Yeesha's Path of the Shell journey to access Ages like Ahnonay, K'veer and Er'Cana, how does the DRC feel about this?
(07/06 17:32:02) To BUDDIES: Thend: Testet /restauriert ihr zeitalter eher indem ihr Architektur untersucht, oder "schreibt" ihr sie auch um?
(07/06 17:32:14) Dr. Kodama: I personally was not aware.
(07/06 17:32:24) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Rumschreiben ist sehr gefährlich.Wir bevorzugen den normalen WEg.
(07/06 17:33:17) To BUDDIES: Tweek: Ist dir bewusst, das Forscher Ahnnay, Ercana und Kveer besucht haben, und wie stehst du dazu? Kodama: War mir nicht bewusst.
(07/06 17:33:40) Dr. Kodama: I, personally, am just trying to do my job and not worry about Yeesha.
(07/06 17:34:03) Dr. Kodama: I'm trying to make Ages available for people to explore together through the DRC.
(07/06 17:34:08) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Ich persönlich versuche nur meine Arbeit zu machen und mich nicht um Yeesha zu kümmern.
(07/06 17:34:09) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:34:13) CAGrayWolf: Arthur, you have a question?
(07/06 17:34:15) Arthur Kalnins: Gehn was trapped in a prison Age. Have you found that prison Age or those of the brothers Sirrus and Achenar? Or any of the books from Myst Island? And if so, will we ever get to visit them, or are they too unstable?
(07/06 17:34:28) To BUDDIES: Ich versuche Zeitaler zugänglich zu machen, für den DRC.
(07/06 17:34:54) Dr. Kodama: We have found some of those Ages and we have plans to make some of them available at some point in the future.
(07/06 17:35:15) Dr. Kodama: Hopefully, fairly early next year...
(07/06 17:35:18) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:35:21) CAGrayWolf: wkwalker, you havea question?
(07/06 17:35:23) wkwalker: Have you encountered people in any of those unopened ages? Or other intelligent beings?
(07/06 17:35:25) To BUDDIES: Arthur: Gehn war in einem Gefängniszeitaler gefangen. Habt ihr die Gefängniszeitaler von Sirrus und Achenar gefunden? Oder die Bücher aus Myst? Können wir sie Besuchen?
(07/06 17:35:50) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Wir haben ein paar dieser zeitaler gefunden und hoffen sie nächses Jahr zugänglich zu machen
(07/06 17:36:02) Dr. Kodama: Yes. Both.
(07/06 17:36:25) To BUDDIES: wkwalker: Seid ihr auf Leute in den Zeitaltern gestoßen? Oder intelligentes Leben?
(07/06 17:36:30) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:36:35) To BUDDIES: Kodama: JA. Beides.
(07/06 17:36:41) CAGrayWolf: Joao, you have a question?
(07/06 17:36:44) joao pedro: Can you tell us a little about that Rahtevnee Age... that one wasn't in the DRC list two years ago
(07/06 17:37:21) Dr. Kodama: It is a new Age, more recently discovered, but one that has promise for a fairly quick turnaround an thus it has been moved up.
(07/06 17:37:23) To BUDDIES: Joao: Kannst du us mehr über das Rahtehvnee Zeitalter erzählen? Das war vor zwei Jahren noch nicht auf der DRC Liste
(07/06 17:37:47) Dr. Kodama: Mostly water. Some interesting creatures and equipment.
(07/06 17:38:14) Dr. Kodama: The D'ni used it for its resources.
(07/06 17:38:32) Dr. Kodama: Interesting place.
(07/06 17:38:37) Dr. Kodama: Should be fun.
(07/06 17:38:39) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:38:42) CAGrayWolf: Jane, you have a question?
(07/06 17:38:43) Jane: It's not exactly an Age, but I am curious as to whether the DRC has been out to K'veer? And if Explorers might also be allowed to go there one of these days (anytime soon)?
(07/06 17:38:53) To BUDDIES: Kodama: ES istein Neues Zeitalter. eher kürzlich entdeckt, und es verspricht, dass wir es früh öffnen können. Hauptsachlich wasser. Einpaar interessante Kreaturen und Werkzeug. Die D'ni haben es für resourcen genuntz. Interessanter Ort.
(07/06 17:39:21) TomahnaGuy waves
(07/06 17:39:22) To BUDDIES: Jane: War der DRC schon In Kveer? Und können wir es auch bald besuchen?
(07/06 17:39:53) Dr. Kodama: Explorers have seen it, of course. As to making it more publicly accesible from the cavern...it's on the list.
(07/06 17:39:58) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:40:00) CAGrayWolf: Thend, you have a question?
(07/06 17:40:05) Thend: When asked previously about the DRC's relationship with Cyan, you were quite succinct - could you please be more specific about the function Cyan provides for the DRC and vice versa? And where are the backers, such as Turner, etc, in this scheme of things - currently and in the future?
(07/06 17:40:10) TomahnaGuy: What have I missed - anything crucial?
(07/06 17:40:26) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Klar havben es die Forscher gesehen, Und es ist auf der Liste für Besuche.
(07/06 17:41:03) Dr. Kodama: Cyan is a resource to help our restoration. Cyan has been able to secure some funding to help the restoration project from Turner for which we are very grateful.
(07/06 17:41:15) To BUDDIES: Thend: Könntest du uns näheres über die Beziehung zweischen Cyan und dem DRC erzählen? Und wo passt Turner da rein?
(07/06 17:41:41) Dr. Kodama: We hope that Turner and Cyan are both in our future.
(07/06 17:41:48) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:41:52) CAGrayWolf: IanWatson, you have a question?
(07/06 17:41:54) IanWatson: A little off-topic, but I'm wondering on the status of continuing cavern recovery. Not just new areas getting opened, but minor stuff like bridge repair and repairing cracks in the wall, and more major fixes like getting fans working and getting the lake bacteria up to full potential?
(07/06 17:42:01) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Cyan hilft uns bei der Restauration. Und hat uns geholfen Turner zur Finanzierung hinzuzuholen.
(07/06 17:42:31) Dr. Kodama: Yes...cracks are very low on the list. Most cracks you see have been deemed safe or you wouldn't be seeing them.
(07/06 17:42:45) Dr. Kodama: as a result, we see little need to start reparing them.
(07/06 17:42:49) To BUDDIES: Iain WAtson: Wie sieht es mit den Reparaturarbeiten hier in der Höhle uas? Brücken, diekaputt sind, die Algen im See usw?
(07/06 17:43:04) Dr. Kodama: Bridges...somewhat higher on the list but they are working.
(07/06 17:43:15) Dr. Kodama: Fans...yes. But we are able to breathe down here.
(07/06 17:43:31) Dr. Kodama: Lake light...yes. Hopefully Er'Cana will help us all be able to do that.
(07/06 17:43:36) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:43:39) CAGrayWolf: wkwalker, you have a question?
(07/06 17:43:41) wkwalker: For those ages where you encountered intelligent beings, are any likely to be opened for public access?
(07/06 17:44:12) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Spalten , an so was arbeitn wir nicht....Brücken, schon eher uaf der Liste.. Ventilatoren, ja, See, auf jeden Fall, vieeleicht hilft uns ercana dabei.
(07/06 17:44:21) Dr. Kodama: Yes. As I suggested earlier, given our resources, many of those Ages have been pushed back. Intelligent beings require a bit more care from us.
(07/06 17:44:33) Dr. Kodama: And a bit more time to deem safe for the public.
(07/06 17:44:46) To BUDDIES: Wkwalker: Die Zeitaler mit intelligenten wesen, weden wir die bald besuchen können?
(07/06 17:45:02) Dr. Kodama: I, personally, hope they are sooner than later but, we simply must wait for now.
(07/06 17:45:06) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:45:09) CAGrayWolf: Joao, you have a question?
(07/06 17:45:12) joao pedro: In the DRC site, it was said that the Age of Pirahnay was suspended because it "was not understood". can you explain what that means (and if it's not asking too much, tell us a bit about that age... i have always been curious about that one)
(07/06 17:45:37) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Ja, aber sie sind momentan hinten angestellt, wie bereit erwähnt. Intelligent Wesen erforder viel Arbeit, damit das zeitalter zugänglich gemacht werden kann.
(07/06 17:46:15) To BUDDIES: Joao: Warum wurde das Zeitalter Piranay hinten angestellt weil es "nicht verstanden wurde"?
(07/06 17:46:36) To BUDDIES: Joao: was bedeutet das?
(07/06 17:46:58) Dr. Kodama: Strange place. An artist's Age, of sorts.
(07/06 17:47:14) Dr. Kodama: Much of it can be manipulated and changed within the Age.
(07/06 17:47:41) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Merkwürdigen zeitalter. Das eine Künstlers, irgendwie. Viel kann dort verändert nd manipuliert werden.
(07/06 17:47:44) Dr. Kodama: There was also some backstory/history that was not particularly wholesome.
(07/06 17:48:13) To BUDDIES: Es gibt auch eine Hintergrundgeschichte, die nicht gerade "gesund" ist.
(07/06 17:48:20) Dr. Kodama: Still trying to figure out much of it, although it's, quite simply, a very strange place that is even hard to understand what it shoudl be restored to.
(07/06 17:48:23) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:48:26) CAGrayWolf: K'laamas, you have a question?
(07/06 17:48:32) K'laamas: Could you tell us anything about the Age listed on the DRC site as "0023 Unknown"?
(07/06 17:48:38) To BUDDIES: Wir versuchen das immer noch zu erforschen.....
(07/06 17:48:52) Dr. Kodama: No.
(07/06 17:49:01) To BUDDIES: Klaamas: Was kannst du uns über das zeitaler 00023 Unknown erzählen?
(07/06 17:49:18) Dr. Kodama: Not because it's especially secret - just because I'm not sure what that one is off the top of my head.
(07/06 17:49:39) Dr. Kodama: We had quite a few of those and I don't remember.
(07/06 17:49:42) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:49:45) CAGrayWolf: TomahnaGuy, you have a question?
(07/06 17:49:48) TomahnaGuy: how many new ages will we see on Beta? Two or more?
(07/06 17:49:54) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Nichts. Nicht weil es besonders geheim ist, nur weil ich aus dem Stand nicht viel darüber sagen kann.
(07/06 17:50:18) Dr. Kodama: Not sure what/where Beta is?
(07/06 17:50:21) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:50:32) To BUDDIES: Tomahnaguy : Wieviele Zeitaler werden wir in der Beta sehen? Zwei oder mehr?
(07/06 17:50:41) CAGrayWolf: Joao, you have a question?
(07/06 17:50:45) joao pedro: some explorers have seen drawings of an Age that has a big mansion in the middle of a lake,the drawings show the place both during night-time and day-time. can you say what place is that... there are divergent opinions, and I wanted to clear up the confusion
(07/06 17:50:50) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Ich weiß nicht was /wann Beta ist?
(07/06 17:51:41) Dr. Kodama: If they are the ones I'm thinking of, which I"m sure they are, it is the Guild of Illusions.
(07/06 17:51:47) Dr. Kodama: Do remember, they are drawings.
(07/06 17:51:48) To BUDDIES: Joao : Einige Forscher habe einmal Bilder eines Zeitalers gesehen mit einer großen Villa in einem See, mal bei nacht,mal bei tag, kannst du uns sagen wo das ist?
(07/06 17:51:55) Dr. Kodama: It doesn't look like that anymore.
(07/06 17:52:00) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:52:18) CAGrayWolf: Anymore questions?
(07/06 17:52:29) Tweek: I have one
(07/06 17:52:40) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Wenn es das ist ws ich glaube, dann könnte das die Gilde der Illusionisten sein, aber denkt daran, es sind zeichnungen, es sieht anders aus.
(07/06 17:52:41) Dr. Kodama: Yes.
(07/06 17:52:45) CAGrayWolf: Tomahana, you have a question ... and please use /shout
(07/06 17:52:58) TomahnaGuy: Ok
(07/06 17:53:10) Tweek: When you are restoring the Ages, where do you get the materials from, do you use Earth materals or try and find the same ones the D'ni used in the Age originally?
(07/06 17:53:56) To BUDDIES: Tweek: Wenn ihr Zeitaler restauiert, wo bekommt ihr Baustoffe her, benutzt ihr erd materialien oder die aus dem Zeitaler selbst?
(07/06 17:54:00) Dr. Kodama: We try and use D'ni materials. Obviously, it's much easier to use materials already here than to bring down surface materials.
(07/06 17:54:32) Dr. Kodama: The D'ni had quite a few Ages made as resource Ages so they are not especially hard to find.
(07/06 17:54:37) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:54:39) TomahnaGuy: do the ages in development have a particular theme or concept?
(07/06 17:54:41) To BUDDIES: Kodama:Wir versuchen die gleichen Materialien wie die D'ni zu verwenden. Ist auch viel leichter . asl von der Oberfläche welche dothin zu transportieren.
(07/06 17:54:58) Dr. Kodama: Not especially.
(07/06 17:55:08) Dr. Kodama: I don't think so.
(07/06 17:55:12) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:55:12) To BUDDIES: Doe D'ni hatten gute Zeitaler für Baustoffe und resourcen.
(07/06 17:55:14) CAGrayWolf: K'laamas, you have a questions?
(07/06 17:55:17) K'laamas: Can you tell us what Ages in which work is currently Suspended will have work resumed the soonest?
(07/06 17:55:50) To BUDDIES: Kannst du uns sagen welche der hinen angestellten Zeitaler als erstes wieder aufgegriffen werden?
(07/06 17:56:19) Dr. Kodama: As we've said...Er'Cana and Ahnonay. Negilahn...hopefully Kahlo...hopefully.
(07/06 17:56:46) Dr. Kodama: Next.
(07/06 17:56:48) CAGrayWolf: IanWatson, you have a question?
(07/06 17:56:50) IanWatson: Is there anything we can do to help with Age recovery and safety measures?
(07/06 17:56:55) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Wie gesagt: Ercana, Ahnonay, Negilahn hoffentlich, Kahlo, hoffentlch.
(07/06 17:57:30) To BUDDIES: Ian WAtson. Was können wir tun um bei der restaurierung von Zeitaltern und sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu helfen?

(07/06 17:57:58) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Gebt uns euer Geld. :)
(07/06 17:58:01) Dr. Kodama: We simply need people - we need to show those who are funding the projet that there are people who want to pay to be here.
(07/06 17:58:05) Dr. Kodama: That's the honest truth.
(07/06 17:58:06) Saruk roars with laughter
(07/06 17:58:09) Dadguy: Heheh!
(07/06 17:58:25) Dr. Kodama: It costs money to restore this project and without it...it won't be restored.
(07/06 17:58:47) To BUDDIES: Kodama: Wir brauchen einfach Leute - wir brauchen sie, damit wir den jenigen , die das Projekt finanzieren, weitermachen.
(07/06 17:58:50) Dr. Kodama: There are not too many who want to give money to its restoration...fortunately Turner has funded some of the restoration for now and we hope they will continue.
(07/06 17:59:02) Dr. Kodama: With your support they will... and we'll get more people to come here as well.
(07/06 17:59:05) Saruk: Sorry, it caught me by surprise... lol
(07/06 17:59:22) Dr. Kodama: Maybe we should end it there...I do have some other meetings to attend.
(07/06 17:59:30) Dr. Kodama: Thank you all for coming and your questions.
(07/06 17:59:30) To BUDDIES: ES gibt nicht viele die die restauration finanzieren wollen, glücklicherwese hat Turner einen teil finanziert.
(07/06 17:59:33) Dadguy: We are with you, Dr K!
(07/06 17:59:34) Dr. Kodama: Good day to you all.

As usual, the format will be for the first half of the meeting to answer pre-submitted questions. Then for the second half of the meeting we will open the floor for questions. Please remember that if you have a question during the open floor portion, that you need to PM the appointed Liaison with "QUESTION" and you will then be added to the queue.

I'm very sorry to have to announce this, but something has come up and the Town Hall with Rand needs to be postponed by 24 hours. It will now be held on Tuesday, July 18, at 9am Cavern Time.

ANKÜNDIGUNG: Von Myst nach UrU Live mit CyanWorlds CEO Rand Miller

ANMERKUNG: Bisher ist nur ein Meeting für morgens bestätigt worden, weil wir nicht wisse, ob Rand Miller an diesem Tag zu zwei Meetings kommen kann.

Shorah Forscher! Wir freuen uns ein ganz besonderes TH Meeting ankündigen zu können. Diesmal wird Rand Miller, CEO von Cyan Worlds unser verehrter Gast sein. Bei diesem Treffen wird Rand seine Hoffnungen und Träume für Uru Live erläutern, was seine antreibende Kraft ist und was er sich für seine Firma wünscht. Seine Sicht auf Uru, die Myst Reihe, usw.

Bitte gebt alle Fragen, die ihr habt, über die DRC Site per PM an eine der Liaisons weiter und wir werden uns bemühen, sie beantwortet zu bekommen. Wie sonst auch, wird die erste Hälfte des Meetings dafür verwendet, eingesandte Fragen zu beantworten. Die zweite Hälfte des Meetings ist dann offen für Fragen vor Ort. Bitte denkt daran, dass ihr, wenn ihr eine Frage während des zweiten Teils habt, die dafür bereitgestellte Liaison mit „QUESTION“ ansprecht; ihr werdet dann der Warteliste hinzugefügt. Wir bitten darum, die Frage bereit zu halten (schon eingetippt zu haben), so dass wir Verzögerungen vermeiden können, wenn ihr aufgerufen werdet.

Für dieses und alle zukünftigen Meetings gilt das neue Verfahren, dass wir euch bitten, STEHEN zu bleiben. Wir bitten auch darum, dass ihr eure KI nicht benutzt, wenn es sich vermeiden lässt. Wir geben unser Bestes, damit eine „stabile“ Umgebung für alle Anwesenden herrscht und probieren dazu alle möglichen Methoden zu finden, so dass das Herausfliegen oder Verschwinden von Forschern und Gästen vermieden werden kann. Vielen Dank für euer Verständnis und eure Mitarbeit dabei.

Ü: ireen

[Locutus]

Leider kann ich zu den Treffen, als Übersetzer, nicht erscheinen, da ich nicht da bin.

[ireenquench]

Ich kanns nicht versprechen, ob ich komme, hab viel zu erledigen, fahre morgen ganz früh in den Urlaub...

[rehnahvah]

Mist, ich wollte da sein, aber hab's vor lauter Lernen vergessen

Kann jemand den Log posten? Nimmt mich wunder, was Rand so gesagt hat. Vor allem, wieso das Meeting um 1 Tag verschoben wurde.

Danke schon im Voraus

(07/18 17:38:40) TomahnaGuy: on the uru live website what do the words "destruction is coming...find a way...make a home mean?

(07/18 17:39:15) Gadren: TomahnaGuy, please wait until yiou are called on
(07/18 17:39:49) Gadren: Yes...Toria asks what Rand thinks about how big Mysterium has gotten, and wonders if Mystralia will ever be comparable due to its lower population
(07/18 17:40:39) Rand: I still think that Mysterium feels small and friendly and non-commercial and I hope...
(07/18 17:41:04) Rand: that it (and Mystralia) stay that way. :)
(07/18 17:41:26) Rand: (I should be a politician) :) next
(07/18 17:41:30) Eleri: Ian, your turn
(07/18 17:41:34) IanWatson: World of Warcraft (as an example) has a thriving addon community, encouraged by the creators. Is there any chance of any such addon support for Uru, even just for customizing the KI interface?
(07/18 17:42:03) Reelah: R we starting?
(07/18 17:42:15) Rand: Our focus for user created (or added-on) content will focus on actual...
(07/18 17:42:47) Rand: ages because that what D'ni was about - writing ages. It makes it harder...
(07/18 17:43:15) Rand: but we think it will be important down the road.
(07/18 17:43:27) Rand: next
(07/18 17:43:51) Eleri: Ghola?
(07/18 17:46:12) Gadren: reminder: please try to have your question typed out and ready to go when we call on you :)

(07/18 17:46:39) Ghola: Will we be able to use 'real' journals in Uru Live, or are we stuck with the KI notes? Also, will it be at all possible for us to 'publish' notebooks in Reltos/Hoods? (For the third time sorry...)
(07/18 17:46:52) Ghola hangs his head and gives up...
(07/18 17:47:08) Eleri: (Sorry everyone, getting to people's PM's and to the age players list is really hard)
(07/18 17:47:33) Eleri: I'll try! the scroll is really bad!
(07/18 17:47:57) Rand: For now the KI is what we have for journaling. Uru live will have better...
(07/18 17:48:35) Rand: working features, but very few new features to start with. We want to tune up the engine...
(07/18 17:49:16) Rand: before we add the whale-tail and the spinning hub caps. :)
(07/18 17:49:33) Reelah: i cant move my cursor:O
(07/18 17:49:48) Rand: Getting over this initial hump is big - then we have a platform to build on.
(07/18 17:49:51) Rand: next
(07/18 17:49:54) Eleri: Dadguy, you're up
(07/18 17:49:57) Dadguy: Hi Rand. Thanks for coming to see us today! How about a summary of how we are doing schedule-wise for LIVE. Good news? Surprises?
(07/18 17:50:36) Reelah: can we get started?
(07/18 17:50:51) Rand: thank you all for the great support! Schedule is slightly behind - but not too far. We've had...
(07/18 17:51:25) Reelah: oh
(07/18 17:51:33) Gadren: please everyone, remain in your spot and stay off the stage...let's try to keep lag down
(07/18 17:51:34) Rand: some pretty good internal tests of new stuff that have gone okay. We have to kill a dozen more ...
(07/18 17:52:10) Rand: bad bugs to be at a good point with the new rewritten server and client stuff.
(07/18 17:52:33) Rand: so beta is next - and I don't know exactly when - but not too far off.
(07/18 17:52:50) Eleri: AllMyst
(07/18 17:52:54) AllMyst: How many other projects besides Uru Live is Cyan currently working on? Can you tell us anything about these projects?

(07/18 17:54:16) Rand: we have five other projects that are various stages - including the dormant stage...
(07/18 17:54:41) Rand: but they are (of course) very confidential and top secret. :)
(07/18 17:55:07) Rand: (we'll be happy if even one of the projects sees the light of day - btw)
(07/18 17:55:11) Rand: next
(07/18 17:55:14) Eleri: Ron, are you still with us? You're up!
(07/18 17:55:18) Ron: How do you feel about the huge out pouring of support after the inital attempt for URU Live and the grassroots effort made by so many to keep it alive??
(07/18 17:56:04) Rand: humbled and excited. We have the best fans in the world! Having so many people stick...
(07/18 17:56:48) Reelah: whats with all the talk about admin and user KIs?
(07/18 17:56:58) Rand: with Uru through all the lag and delays is so great - it's helped us keep going!
(07/18 17:57:17) Rand: next
(07/18 17:57:20) Eleri: Lego
(07/18 17:57:23) Lego Addict: How is the Age creation tool to be implemented? Will it be a plugin to a popular 3D program like StudioMax, or will it be a stand alone application?
(07/18 17:58:06) Rand: Plans are to start with providing plugins that would allow people to make ages...
(07/18 17:58:16) Reelah: i know wh y r we talking about them?
(07/18 17:58:16) Reelah: it is 10 cavern time looks like the meeting is over
(07/18 17:58:30) Rand: the same way we do. It would require tech expertise, but will get some people started...
(07/18 17:59:38) Rand: right away. Then we will move on to tools that allow easier (and probably less complex) age creation...
(07/18 17:59:41) Reelah: what is wrong with Rand???:(
(07/18 17:59:50) Rand: but that's down the road.
(07/18 17:59:57) Rand: next
(07/18 18:00:35) Eleri: TomahnaGuy asks if you can give any hints as to what the catchprase on the Uru Live site means
(07/18 18:02:07) Reelah: NO
(07/18 18:02:29) Eleri: ("Destruction is coming..." etc)
(07/18 18:02:49) Rand: All I can say is that it is imbued with deep meaning. But of course - you really don't want to know the details. :)
(07/18 18:02:56) Rand: next
(07/18 18:03:11) Reelah: is Rand all right:(:(
(07/18 18:03:16) Eleri: Dr. Device?
(07/18 18:03:19) Doctor Device: How is the progress with getting GameTap for everyone to use? Uru wouldn't be the same without everyone from around the world...
(07/18 18:05:22) Rand: Announcements coming soon on GameTap relelated stuff. International people won't be left behind...
(07/18 18:05:28) Reelah: shorah Amala
(07/18 18:05:42) Rand: - because Uru wouldn't be the same without them. :)
(07/18 18:06:00) Reelah: i agree
(07/18 18:06:26) Rand: next - sorry
(07/18 18:06:28) Eleri: Kl'a?
(07/18 18:06:34) K'laamas: How much has Uru changed from your original idea (other than the multiplayer aspect)?
(07/18 18:07:18) Reelah: i cant talk??? amala??
(07/18 18:07:31) Eleri: did we lose him?
(07/18 18:07:40) Rand: Kl'a A'kn?
(07/18 18:08:13) Rand: :)
(07/18 18:08:36) Eleri: looks like we lost him and 'tay
(07/18 18:08:44) Reelah: i will shut up now
(07/18 18:08:56) Eleri: Gadren?
(07/18 18:10:06) Gadren: One of the issues that contributed to the issues with the first Uru Live was a lack of sufficient advertising... what is Cyan and Turned doing to make sure that lots of people hear about Live?
(07/18 18:10:51) Rand: We think that Uru has a better chance of growing slowly if it has a chance to get off the ground...
(07/18 18:11:16) Reelah: THIS IS NOT REELAH SPEAKING:
(07/18 18:11:37) Rand: I think that's our preference to begin with. But with that said - Turner is not stingy with...
(07/18 18:12:02) Rand: advertising when the time is right.
(07/18 18:12:08) Reelah: Hi Maria its Lilly
(07/18 18:13:00) Rand: Uru feels so grassroots - lets get it started and spread the word - Turner will get behind it.
(07/18 18:13:03) Rand: next
(07/18 18:13:09) Eleri: Ghaelen?
(07/18 18:13:15) ghaelen: If you aren't already working with fan-created stories that might add to or enhance the canon, do you think that's a possibility for the future?
(07/18 18:14:09) Rand: The primary problem with fan created story is not the quality - it's the logistics. Once we...
(07/18 18:14:53) Rand: open that door things get very hard to control. The D'ni story is a big ship and has to be...
(07/18 18:15:27) Rand: guided with a lot of forethought - or we'll either run aground or go in circles.
(07/18 18:16:22) Rand: But we think that age creation (by players) may provide the way to add story content...
(07/18 18:17:07) Rand: without risking the continuity issues.
(07/18 18:17:12) Rand: next
(07/18 18:17:15) Eleri: RaPhil, are you still here? Your turn
(07/18 18:17:32) Ra'Phil: Even if you do not know when beta will start, do you know when the beta testers will be told they have been successful?
(07/18 18:18:01) Reelah: if we all be quiet it will be easer for him to move
(07/18 18:18:45) Rand: Actually no. I'm not sure. I believe it's first-come first-served - and I believe it's going to starte fairly soon...
(07/18 18:19:00) Rand: but I don't know the details.
(07/18 18:19:02) Rand: next
(07/18 18:19:11) Eleri: Mucol?
(07/18 18:19:15) Mucol: RAWA told us, that you had a "good reason" why you couldn't come yesterday. Do you have any big news for us?
(07/18 18:20:21) Rand: I think we're trying to put together another town hall meeting that will answer questions...
(07/18 18:21:02) Rand: and we couldn't quite pull it off yesterday. Looks good for next week though - I think.
(07/18 18:21:26) Rand: next (I say "I think" a lot I think)
(07/18 18:21:32) Eleri: Julie asks if there's growing hope for Uru for Mac
(07/18 18:22:30) Rand: I think it's not growing right now - we still have hopes. I use a Mac and even Blake uses...
(07/18 18:22:58) Reelah: is there any recorded minutes of this or a copy of the log we can read after to give ppl who were no here?
(07/18 18:23:00) Rand: a Mac. But we've got other things to get done first. (And Blake has had success...
(07/18 18:23:18) Rand: with Boot Camp - but I don't have and Intel Mac.)
(07/18 18:23:26) Rand: next
(07/18 18:23:37) Eleri: Jez1?
(07/18 18:23:41) Rand: "an"
(07/18 18:24:45) Eleri: How does the new Uru Live storyline diverge from the old one? Are the Myst 5 details being integrated?
(07/18 18:29:23) Rand: Not really a divergant storyline - just time has passed. And Myst 5 is part of the time that has passed.
(07/18 18:29:23) Rand: got time for a couple more questions
(07/18 18:29:24) Eleri: AllMyst?
(07/18 18:29:24) AllMyst: How is the work force currently divided between the various projects at Cyan?
(07/18 18:29:24) Rand: Good portion of the tech crew is on Uru Live. Art is split between Uru Live and various other things.
(07/18 18:29:25) Reelah: almost there Rand
(07/18 18:29:51) Eleri: Gadren, you have the last question
(07/18 18:29:39) Eleri: No question from Gad?
(07/18 18:29:41) Gadren: Right now, my favorite part of the Mystseries, the D'ni language, is not a major part of the game, but more of something that has to be learned outside the game in various forums. Will Uru Live be able to promote the D'ni language more and make it a bigger part of gameplay? Like puzzles, or more D'ni documents?
(07/18 18:29:54) Eleri: (Long question from Gad!)
(07/18 18:30:30) Rand: I think the D'ni language will always be part of Uru Live, but not a primary part. It'll be there in various...
(07/18 18:31:01) Rand: ways for people like you who want to dig deeper. And they'll be special little rewards...
(07/18 18:31:09) Rand: for people who do.
(07/18 18:31:35) Rand: one more - then I've gotta go
(07/18 18:32:00) Eleri: Dadguy?
(07/18 18:32:04) Dadguy: Have you thought about challenging RAWA's near record time in the A-Z Race thru URU (D'mala) this Saturday? :-)
(07/18 18:32:43) Rand: I know I could never touch his time. But I have to say that when we had our Uru race...
(07/18 18:34:05) Rand: before we launched Uru I did manage to finish in a respectible position (not last.)
(07/18 18:34:17) Dadguy: :-)
(07/18 18:34:19) Eleri: Rand, thank you so much for joining us this morning! We hope we'll see more of you in cavern in the future :)
(07/18 18:34:39) Eleri: and thanks bunches to everyone for coming and braving the crowd!
(07/18 18:35:27) Rand: Okay - gotta go to yet another meeting. Thanks again you guys! Thanks liasons for handling things.
(07/18 18:35:27) Gadren: ^_^
(07/18 18:35:28) DanielPharos: Goodbye Rand, and see you around!
(07/18 18:35:28) Eleri: There's a TH tonight, to question the Liaison team, I hop eveyone will join us.
(07/18 18:35:28) Rand: Nice of so many of you to put up with lag to spend some time here.
(07/18 18:35:34) Ra'Phil: Shorah Rand :-)
(07/18 18:35:53) Eleri: ahhh, what's a little lag when we have you to interrogate, Rand ;)
(07/18 18:35:55) Rand: Hope to see you soon with things working better! :)
(07/18 18:35:56) IanWatson: Thanks so much, Rand. We really appreciate the time (and extra time) you put in to answer questions for us.
(07/18 18:36:48) Rand: It's been my pleasure to answer you questions. More answers next week - hopefully!
(07/18 18:37:21) Rand: bye everyone - shorah!

(07/18 18:41:50) IanWatson: The first 20 minutes was Rand trying to walk up to the stage.

Gäste:
Rand Miller - Geschäftsführer, Cyan Worlds
Blake Lewin - stellvertretender Vorstandsvorsitzender Produktentwicklung und Innovationen, Turner
David Reid - stellvertretender Vorstandsvorsitzender Vertrieb/Öffentlichkeitsarbeit, GameTap
Trent Hershenson - Uru Vermarktung, GameTap
Ron Meiners - Uru Community Manager, GameTap

Beta Test:
Wann wird die Beta anfangen und wie kann ich teilnehmen?
David Reid: Das Uru Live geschlossene (also nicht öffentlich/für jedermann zugängig wie Uru Prologue vor zwei Jahren - Anm. d. Übers.) Beta Programm beginnt nächste Woche. Zunächst wird eine kleine Gruppe von Forschern eingeladen und dann werden regelmäßig zusätzliche Gruppen hinzukommen, in der Reihenfolge, wie man sich zur Beta angemeldet hat. Falls man sich noch nicht für die Beta registriert hat, kann man dies unter http://www.urulive.com tun.

Muss man ein Kunde von GameTap sein um bei der Beta mitzumachen?
David Reid: Nein. Die einzige Anforderung für die Zulassung an der Beta ist die Reihenfolge in der man sich angemeldet hat.

Uru Live:
Wird man Uru Live kostenlos ausprobieren können?
David Reid: Ja, es wird einen kostenlosen Erprobungszeitraum geben um Freunden, die interesse daran haben könnten, zu ermöglichen das Spiel auszuprobieren.
Nachtrag von Quin: Der kostenlose Zugang, der bei Town Hall Meeting angesprochen wurde, wird ein inhaltlich begrenzter aber zeitlich unbegrenzter Zugang sein.
Interessierte, die keine monatlichen Gebühren zahlen (wollen), können sich mit zahlenden Forschern sooft und solange sie wollen an einigen öffentlichen Plätze (z.B. in den Gemeinden) treffen, aber ihr Zugang wird auf diese Bereiche beschränkt sein und sie können nicht alles erforschen.

Werde ich in den USA GameTap und Uru Live für dieselbe monatliche Abokosten bekommen?
David Reid: GameTap und Uru Live werden beide für 9,95 USD pro Monat in den USA erhältlich sein.

Werden Uru Spieler, die über GameTap Uru Live spielen, genau denselben Spielanfang (Eröffnungsrede von Atrus, etc.) spielen wie Until Uru Spieler?
Rand Miller: Ohne allzuviel verraten zu wollen, nein. Uru Live wird ein wenig anders Anfangen.

Kannst du uns einen Hinweis geben, wo wir Anfangen werden zu spielen?
Rand Miller: Zu Hause.

Werden wir gleich zu Anfang von Uru Live neue Welten zu sehen bekommen?
Rand Miller: Keine neuen Welten sofort am Anfang von Uru Live. Aber es wird ein paar Überraschungen geben wenn wir vorwärts kommen. Der beginn von Uru Live ende dieses Jahres wird nur dazu sein, dinge wieder ans laufen zu bekommen.

Ist geplant, Welten zu veröffenltichen, wenn auch nur einzelne, die man offline Erforschen kann?
Rand Miller: Nein. Wir wollen die volle Kontrolle!

Wird Uru Live kleine Mini-Games, so wie die Gahreesen Wand oder Heek, etc.?
Rand Miller: Uru Live wird ständig erweitert werden, also wird es auch Dinge wie die Wand und andere "Game"-Welten geben wenn wir über der Start von Uru-Live hinaus gekommen sind.

Wieviele Spiele werden Zeitgleich ohne "Lag" spielen können?
Rand Miller: Wir lassen es euch nach der beta wissen... aber das ist verständlicherweise ein Sache die bei uns oberste Priorität hat.

Werden sich die USA und Europa denselben Spiele-Server teilen?
Blake Lewin: Momentan, ja. Wenn wir durch die beta durch sind, werden wir sehen, ob es Leistungs-Probleme gibt die wir durch lokale Server beheben können.

Wird es zwischen dem momentanen Uru und dem zukünftigen Uru Live eine wahrnehmbare Veränderung, Grafisch oder sonstwie, geben?
Rand Miller: Nein, keine unterschiede in der Grafik. Wir arbeiten aber an der allgemeinen performance (Leistung) vom Spiel.

Es wurde veröffentlicht, dass Uru Live "by the holidays" starten wird, für die Europäer: wann genau ist das?
David Reid: Entschuldigt bitte die Verwirrung, es ist die Weihnachtszeit gemeint.

Die Partnerschaft mit GameTap:
Wie kann ich GameTap Abonnieren und dabei zeigen, das ich dies nur wegen Uru Live tue?
David Reid: Es gibt ein besonderes Angebot, auf der urulive.com Seite, worüber man GameTap Abonnieren kann und den ersten Monat gratis bekommt. Ich weiß, dass es für viele von euch wichtig ist zu zeigen, dass ihr Uru unterstützt, dies ist ein Weg dies zu tun. (Nur für Anwohner in den USA)

Wie kann ich meine Unterstützung für Uru Live zeigen, wenn ich schon GameTap Kunde bin?
David Reid: Wenn du schon ein GameTap Abo hast, schicke GreyDragon eine eMail und wir werden sicherstellen, das auch deine Stimme zu diejenigen gezählt wird, die GameTap nur wegen Uru Live Abonniert haben um Cyan zu unterstützen.

Habt ihr abschätzen, was für ein Geschäftsvolumen Uru GameTap bringen wird?
David Reid: Es sollte offentsichtlich sein, das wir in die Kraft der Uru Live Community glauben. Und wir sind mit diese Partnerschaft mit Cyan nicht nur eingegangen, weil wir das Spiel lieben sondern auch, weil wir die Gelegenheit sehen GameTap zu einem Ort zu machen in dem die Welt Spiele finden kann wie Uru Live, die es sontswo nicht gibt. Wir wissen, dass ihr eine starke Gemeinschaft seid, mit mehreren Tausend Anhängern, die noch nicht mal ein komplettes Spiel haben (Until Uru). Wir bei GameTap hoffen, dass ihr eure Leidenschaft für das Spiel Uru Live bündeln werdet um GameTap zu einem Ort zu machen an dem wir nicht nur die Unterstützung des Spiels Uru Live erleben werden, sondern auch für unsere größere Vision: Spiele für millionen von Spielern in aller Welt zu veröffentlichen. Es ist sehr wichtig, das ihr diese Vision mit uns Teilt, damit wir den Bossen der Spieleindustrie zeigen können, das die Unterstützung der Fans etwas bewegen kann.

Wie wird Werbung für Uru Live dieses mal gehandhabt werden? Es schien ein ausgeprägter Mangel an Werbung für Uru das letze mal zu herschen, insbesondere ausserhalb der US.
David Reid: Um unsere Philosophie zu verdeutlichen: Ich persönlich komme aus der Spielkonsolen Welt (habe an der veröffentlichung der Xbox 360 mitgearbeitet bevor ich vor ein paar Monaten zu GameTap gestossen bin), und ich sehe GameTap wie eine
Plattform für Spiele, genauso wie die Xbox oder die Playstation. Und ich sehe Uru Live wie einen kritischen, exklusiven Titel den unsere Plattform anch vorne bringen wird. Wir können noch keine Details über die Werbekampagne veröffentlichen, aber ich verspreche euch das wir einige interessante Pläne haben um Uru Live, Sam & Max und noch weiter Spiele die zu Weihnachten über GameTap veröffenlticht werden zu bewerben. Wir wissen, das niemand eine Spielkonsole kaufen wird, wenn es für sie keine guten Spiele gibt, die es für andere nicht gibt. Und wir wissen, dass für euch, und viele andere wie euch GameTap eine Konsolen-ähnliche Erfahrung sein wird, über die von Kritikern gefeierte Spieletitel veröffenlticht werden, die es sonst nirgends gibt. Diese Geschichte werden wir der Welt erzählen, wenn Uru Live und weitere Spiele dieses Jahr zu Weihnachten starten werden.
Blake Lewin: Ich möchte auch noch etwas über Uru Live und GameTap hinzufügen. Wir haben GameTap von beginn an als Breitband-Netzwerk aufgebaut. Und wie ein Bezahlfernsehn (wie Arena oder Premiere in Deutschland - anm. d. Übers.) sind wir auf der Suche nach hochkarätigen Inhalt, den nur wir Anbieten. Wenn man Uru Live mit einen Piloten einer Fernsehserie vergleicht, dann werden wir in Abhängigkeit von dessen Erfolg zusätzliche "Staffeln" finanzieren können. Deswegen wird eure Unterstützung auch für den zukünftigen Erfolg von Uru Live wichtig bleiben.

Da GameTap auch einige andere ältere Spieletitel anbietet, werden eventuell auch alte Cyan Spiele wie "Cosmic Osmo" über GameTap veröffenlticht?
David Reid: Wir haben tatsächlich auch eingie Neuigkeiten von dieser Seite. Für's erste werde ich einfach mal mit "ja" Antworten. Ihr solltet wissen, das zusätzlich zu den Spielen (z.b. Myst, Riven, Uru Ages Beyond Myst) die es jetzt schon auf GameTap gibt, werden wir auch in Zukunft weitere Cyan Spieletitel über GameTap veröffentlichen.

Uru International:
Wird Uru Live auch in anderen Ländern erhältlich sein?
David Reid: Ja. Beide, also die umsonst und die Abonnierprodukte werden auch ausserhalb der USA erhältlich sein.

Wie werden internationale Forscher Uru Live Abonnieren können?
Blake Lewin: Unser Ziel ist es, den "umsonst" Uru Client weltweit über Uru Live verfügbar zu machen. Internationale Spieler werden dann die Möglichkeit haben direkt über Uru Live (kostenpflichtig) zu spielen. In den USA wird Uru Live mit GameTap gebündelt sein.

Wird man GameTap und Uru Live auch ausserhalb der USA für denselben Preis bekommen?
David Reid: Noch haben wir kein GameTap ausserhalb der USA, aber sobald wir GameTap in anderen Ländern veröffenltichen werde, werden Uru Live Abonnenten diesen Dienst selbsverständlich auch "für umsonst" erhalten.
