Strategy Planet hosted an interview chat with Cyborlore on June 12, 2001. The following is the log from that chat:

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Hello everyone and welcome to this rendition of "Evening Chat talk with Cyberlore!"

{Dragon-StratPlanet} With us today we have...

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Jay Adan: Marketing Guru

{Jay_Adan} Yay!

{Jay_Adan} ::bowing::

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Seth Spalding: Art Master

{Seth} Yesss..and it counts!

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Jack Cameron: Sound King

{CL_MisterSound} I drink thw wild spirits!

{Dragon-StratPlanet} And last but not least George Ledoux: The voice of Majesty

{Jay_Adan} (I thought it was Mr. Sounds - The Sound King was the other guy)

{Venn_Fairweather} Is this mic on"

{CL_MisterSound} I'm the unsound sound guy

{Mod} If you guys are ready for action? I got the Q's ;-)

{Dragon-StratPlanet} So let's start the fun

{Mod} Did the release of the expansion have the reception

{Mod} you expected?

{Seth} Who gets to answer?

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Any and all

{CL_MisterSound} It really supercharged multiplayer

{Jay_Adan} I think that it got a great reception from our fans.... and yes, that's what we expected.

{Jay_Adan} :)

{Seth} I'm glad it's gotten as much critical praise as it has as well. Expansion sets are hard sells on the press.

{Jay_Adan} There haven't been many reviews yet, but most of those have been really postive - which is great.

{Dragon-StratPlanet} ....at least the ones who actually took the time to play the expansioj first :)

{Venn_Fairweather} Heh, my wife likes it,... :)

{Jay_Adan} Yeah, we're going to put that in Ads - "George's Wife Likes it!"

{CL_MisterSound} Does she make you talk like the Advisor George?

{Venn_Fairweather} I'll tell ya tomorrow

{Mod} What was the logic behind implimenting the new game features in the expansion? Why weren't any new heroes added (excluding the love-able Gnome Champion)?

{CL_MisterSound} We wanted to expand the characters we had...

{CL_MisterSound} new spells etc

{Jay_Adan} I suppose that we really liked the mix of heroes that we had...

{CL_MisterSound} and more to do

{Mod} Now that the Zone is dead to Majesty, how has your experience been working with GameSpy?

{CL_MisterSound} GameSpy ROKKS

{CL_MisterSound} stuff like this chat really makes it for us

{Jay_Adan} We made friends with the GameSpy folks pretty early on. It's been a great relationship.

{Jay_Adan} ...

{Jay_Adan} When we ask for help, they're there to give it...

{Jay_Adan} ...They've all been very supportive of Majesty and Cyberlore.

{Venn_Fairweather} They put the "planet fargo" thing out there first, too

{Jay_Adan} I got to visit the offices once as well.

{CL_MisterSound} Heck they even mow my lawn for me. Thanks

{CL_MisterSound} :)

{Jay_Adan} I think that it looks like the second funnest place to work.

{Seth} I got a shot glass!

{Jay_Adan} (Aside from Cyberlore of course).

{Dragon-StratPlanet} ...I also hear they have the best Majesty fansites :)

{CL_MisterSound} I can confirm that rumor

{Mod} Have you planned on releasing a strategy guide for the expansion like you did for the original?

{Jay_Adan} Nope... although Mr. Fixit Online is supposed to be working on an online version.

{Jay_Adan} I don't know if that is still true. Kit?

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Will it be similar to the print version, or more experienced based?

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Ooops, Kit can't asnwer direct

{Jay_Adan} That's more of a Kit question.

{Jay_Adan} Hey, look at that.

{Kit5150} woot

{Venn_Fairweather} Kit's been busy

{Jay_Adan} Take it away, Kit.

{Kit5150} i am currently awaiting further instruction

{Jay_Adan} From Rich?

{Kit5150} some pages are ready to go but havent been made public

{Dragon-StratPlanet} In case anyone doesn't know, runs the Majesty site on Mr. Fixit... and he regularly kicks my butt in Majesty online

{CL_MisterSound} Great site Kit

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Are they based on trial and error?

{Kit5150} the MFO management is in discussion how they will advertise it, sell, etc.

{Jay_Adan} We did give them some of our design docs to work with, but I think that you'll find that experience will...

{Jay_Adan} ...make for much more thorough articles.

{Kit5150} yes, we have our stats together, and it is slowly but surely working its way thru the system

{Mod} Are there any more patches in the works, specifically ones that address the severe slow down when you have a large number of heroes that is especially bad in Multi-play?

{Jay_Adan} Unfortunately, that's not something that we'll be able to fix. The problem isn't so much a bug, as it is a problem with memory.

{Mod} Did you have to balance out any of the current hero types?

{CL_MisterSound} THe heroes were constantly being tweaked for balance stuff

{Seth} Size of the files has something to do with it. So the programmers tell me...

{Jay_Adan} All of the balancing was mostly done around the time of the third update. Of course, the changes to the heroes had to be balanced as well... but

{Jay_Adan} it wasn't a huge task. The changes to the Barbarians I think were the most drastic.

{Jay_Adan} The barbarians...

{Jay_Adan} have always been great with some maps and bad with others.

{Mod} Why does the expansion install in a separate directory?

{Jay_Adan} That's a good question... it deserves a good answer... which I don't have.

{Mod} The quests in the expansion are much more difficult than the original. Was this intentional?

{Jay_Adan} Oh yes...

{CL_MisterSound} the answer is arrrgggg (struck by lightning)

{CL_MisterSound} big time

{Jay_Adan} The original got a few dings from people by being too simple (not everybody said that)...

{Jay_Adan} we wanted to make sure that people were challenged...

{CL_MisterSound} I still can't always beat them

{Venn_Fairweather} me either...

{Jay_Adan} There's a good chance that if you bought the original and finished it, you would be very proficient in the game. A challenge was really needed.

{Jay_Adan} Of course... it wasn't just about making them harder. It was also about making the challenges different.

{CL_MisterSound} plague NOOOOOO

{Jay_Adan} Plus, we wanted to create some quests that could go on indefinitely if you wanted them to.

{Mod} How do you go about balancing the fun factor with the difficulty?

{Seth} The greater variety of quest types pleased me

{Jay_Adan} That's a rough one. It takes a lot of trial and error and input from lots of different people.

{CL_MisterSound} Fun for me was the potions and new stuff like the healer turning undead

{Mod} If you had it to do all over again, is there anything you would do differently?

{CL_MisterSound} I'd go to the Elven lounge more

{CL_MisterSound} :)

{Venn_Fairweather} make a sound editor for the expansion

{Jay_Adan} Well, for the expansion... no. Probably not. I think that it did exactly what it was supposed to do.

{Jay_Adan} Of course... I'd like that Sound Editor as well.

{Jay_Adan} (I have asked Ken about it).

{Dragon-StratPlanet} How about for Majesty in general?

{Jay_Adan} Well, I think that all of us would have liked to have been able to put more time into multiplayer.

{Seth} we made a lot of art improvements internally that were nice and made production easier

{CL_MisterSound} I would have like to fill a couple of CD's with sounds

{CL_MisterSound} liked that is

{Dragon-StratPlanet} I'm still wating on those "special" lines Jack.

{Venn_Fairweather} I'm down with that your Majesty!

{Seth} Given the budget, a better reward sequence at the end would have been nice, esp. for the original game

{Jay_Adan} Oh yeah... we've gotten a lot of e-mail about that.

{CL_MisterSound} Hmm I though we sent the dragon

{CL_MisterSound} them

{Dragon-StratPlanet} nope...they are quite randy

{Kit5150} What has the transition from Hasbro Interactive to Infogrames meant to Cyberlore?

{Jay_Adan} Not hole lot, actually...

{Jay_Adan} Most of the people that we dealt with at Hasbro are now at Infogrames...

{Jay_Adan} Of course, the transition is what really delayed the expansion.

{Seth} There was a delay in the release of the expansion due to the switch over I think.

{Seth} Yeah, what he said...

{Jay_Adan} With Hasbro Interactive knowing that their days were numbered, they weren't paying too much attention to the expansion.

{Mod} How do you feel about the community that has sprung up around Majesty?

{Seth} Personally, I'm psyched at the level that our forum has kept up

{Jay_Adan} The fans have been the best part of the whole thing. It's not like just putting a product on the shelf and then walking away. It becomes this leaving, breathing entity.

{Jay_Adan} I've made so many friends and talked to so many cool people... I've never experienced anything like it.

{Jay_Adan} It's like having this HUGE family.

{Seth} I'd like to extend a "Thanks!" to those who have made our forum a great community

{Venn_Fairweather} Yeah, I agree with that completely

{Jay_Adan} Here here!

{Seth} I've never seen a game create something like that

{CL_MisterSound} I love the community!

{Jay_Adan} Yeah... community...

{CL_MisterSound} word

{Mod} How soon until we see another downloadable quest?

{Jay_Adan} Hey look! Something shiney!

{Seth} Where?!

{Dragon-StratPlanet} avoiding the question?

{Jay_Adan} All kidding aside....

{Dragon-StratPlanet} :)

{Jay_Adan} We're swamped right now. With Borg, and SECRET PROJECT X... there's nobody available to make a new quest.

{Mod} What's the current news on Borg Assimilator?

{Jay_Adan} Borg is chugging along at full speed.

{CL_MisterSound} restance is futile

{Jay_Adan} I'm not sure what we should say at this point as Activision has told us that they don't want us talking about it without a Marketing person holding our hand.

{Seth} There will, with luck be some new screen shots soon.

{Jay_Adan} (one of THEIR marketing people)

{CL_MisterSound} hold me Hooven

{Mod} Are there any other projects you have in the pipe that you can talk about?

{CL_MisterSound} Alan Parsons

{Venn_Fairweather} (sigh)

{Jay_Adan} We're hoping that SECRET PROJECT X will be announced later this week. When it does, you'll be sure to hear about it. It's HUGE.

{Jay_Adan} (Hey, that was a good one, Jack)

{Seth} Very big. *nodding*

{Venn_Fairweather} heh heh, he said 'huge'...

{CL_MisterSound} actualyl I don't think there is anything else we can speak bout

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Is George in on it?

{Jay_Adan} George is working on it I think...

{Jay_Adan} (Aintcha, George?)

{Venn_Fairweather} I know nuthink!

{Mod} *Kit5150* i have to know if they are planning a majesty 2, if so, is it in production?

{Seth} Simplayer?

{CL_MisterSound} nice one from the son of Adam Sim tables

{Jay_Adan} We put together a new proposal for Majesty 2, and have been talking to publishers about it. There's nothing solid there yet though.

{Venn_Fairweather} cool!

{Jay_Adan} And, of course, there's the possibility of finishing up Treasure Hunt.

{CL_MisterSound} I really wish we could talk/type about our stuff but ya know the biz

{Mod} *housefish* will ideas from the wishlist be taken for majesty 2 if there is a majesty 2?

{CL_MisterSound} we always look to the fans for ideas. house. Thanks for them

{Jay_Adan} On Majesty 2 suggestions. I personally have been keeping track of the suggestions and bringing them forward in our meetings about it.

{Mod} *Rulke* hey, i'd like to ask how many artists they had on the teAm and how they managed thier art assests.... i'm the lead artist at irrational games australia. we did the freedom force chat last week.

{Seth} Hi Rulke!

{Seth} We had a core team of five artists for the bulk of the project

{Seth} We added two during the cinematic production

{CL_MisterSound} Seas of water seas of time...

{Seth} eventually every artist at Cyberlore put something into the game

{Seth} ....even me! In all we have ten artists here.

{CL_MisterSound} I helped by distracting the artists with my constant costume changes

{Mod} *Goldy_Bear* Some of the fans believe that there are problems with hero balance of power in Multi-player Last Palace Standing games. Will there be any patches to modify game balance issues in Multi-player?

{Jay_Adan} I don't see that happening in the near future, Goldy. Play balance is definitely one of those things that you could continue to tweak over and over. For now, folks should be making good use of the freestyle editor.

{Mod} *Rulke* were you guys using max?

{Jay_Adan} Seth?

{Jay_Adan} Max?

{Seth} Yep, Max 2.5 for most of the project

{Dragon-StratPlanet} 3d studio max

{CL_MisterSound} Max Headroom?

{Mod} *zeddicus_zul* any progress on an online rpg?

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Woot!

{Jay_Adan} We're not currently working on an online RPG (that should narrow down your guesses on what we are working on).

{Dragon-StratPlanet} only 12 genre's to go

{Dragon-StratPlanet} :)

{Dragon-StratPlanet} have you considered it?

{Venn_Fairweather} I thought a forum member was putting something together?

{CL_MisterSound} and its not "Sim Thanksgiving" either

{Jay_Adan} Oh sure... and I think that most of us would love to do it... but it's unlikely.

{Mod} *Kit5150* is treasure hunt still a Cyberlore project?

{Jay_Adan} Yep.. it's a little bit on hold right now. We're really making a push for doing online games, but Treasure Hunt is currently taking a back seat to exploring some 3D stuff.

{Mod} *Venn_Fairweather* Cyberlore is doing two projects right now then?

{Jay_Adan} Two, not counting the online stuff.

{Jay_Adan} The internet games are something doing on our own - To answer Zul's question... Treasure Hunt could be considered an online Majesty game. Just probably not in the way you think.

{Jay_Adan} For those who aren't already familiar with it...

{Jay_Adan} Majesty: Treasure Hunt is a two-player turn-based strategy game set in the fantasy world of Ardania. You would play it online in a web browser with another player.

{Mod} *zeddicus_zul* I understand its a long process, but is there any word on an online Majesty related game?

{Mod} *Goldy_Bear* are there any plans from StrategyPlanet or MFO for multi-player tournaments?

{Kit5150} MFO wants to hold another tournament, attendance permitting

{Dragon-StratPlanet} I usually let MFO handle those

{Dragon-StratPlanet} I look forward to getting my butt kicked round robin style :)

{Seth} That would be cool...

{Mod} *housefish* will there be t-shirts from Cyberlore for sale anytime?

{Venn_Fairweather} I think there should be

{Jay_Adan} I'm looking into the same setup that Majesty Dragon uses - Cafe Press.

{CL_MisterSound} Aside from the "MR Sound" fan club ones :)

{Jay_Adan} I ordered one each of everything that Dragon sells... if I like the quality, I'll do some Majesty Tees.

{Venn_Fairweather} I just ordered some stuff from there also.

{Jay_Adan} BTW - Everybody else should order one each of everything that Dragon sells... ;)

{Mod} *daboyz* Was Cyberlore approached by Activision for Borg Assimilator or was it an idea Cyberlore pitched to Activision? And following that up, will the new game be a made to order game for someone else, or will it be an in-house developed game?

{Jay_Adan} Activision came to us with a numnber of ideas and asked us which we wanted to do. We picked Borg. Then they ran the ideas by some focus groups, and found out that Borg was the #1 idea of the group that people wanted to see.

{Dragon-StratPlanet} For once the Focus Groups were right!

{Venn_Fairweather} resistance is futile.,

{Jay_Adan} The next project that we are working on is actually an expansion set (oops.. I've said too much).

{Venn_Fairweather} D'OH!

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Now you've done it

{Dragon-StratPlanet} None of you heard that

{Jay_Adan} There's lots of cool possibilities on the horizon as well - including Majesty 2.

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Anyhints to what majesty 2 might MIGHT be like?

{Venn_Fairweather} Lots more advice,...:)

{Jay_Adan} First-Person Shooter. ;)

{Venn_Fairweather} shoot the advisor,..

{CL_MisterSound} Street fighter style actually

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Ah, I see we have hit a brick wall. :)

{Jay_Adan} Side scrolling, online, first person, RTS.

{Jay_Adan} In 3D

{Kit5150} and I was hoping for Karateka style

{Venn_Fairweather} Maybe all puzzles

{CL_MisterSound} or more like M.U.L.E.

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Well, that is all the questions we have...

{Dragon-StratPlanet} I'd like to thank Cyberlore and everyone for showing up tonight....

{Seth} Thank you!

{CL_MisterSound} THANK YOU ALL

{Venn_Fairweather} Always a pleasure

{Jay_Adan} I'll hang for a bit of folks want to chat.

{Dragon-StratPlanet} I'll be posting the log of the chat on Majesty-Dragon soon for those who missed it.

{CL_MisterSound} feel free to edit my nonsense, Drag

{Dragon-StratPlanet} If anyone wants to hang, feel free. We'll open up the chat to everyone now.

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Love the nonsense... it is like life

{Mod} w00t!

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Woot!

{CL_MisterSound} I can stay for a bit too

{Jay_Adan} Is it played between the sheets?

{Venn_Fairweather} Vas is 'Woot'?

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Majesty 2?

**The Chat opened to all!**

{Jay_Adan} (Depeche Mode Quote)

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Woot is like Huzzah!

{CL_MisterSound} *groan*

{Jay_Adan} Woot.

{CL_MisterSound} THANKS MoD

{zeddicus_zul} thanks mod

{Seth} No new Maj cards...sorry

{daboyz} Thanks Mod

{zeddicus_zul} ok

{Jay_Adan} We're not making any, but you can!

{Seth} Absolutely!

{Venn_Fairweather} still, woulda been nice to see an advisor card,... lol

{zeddicus_zul} im pretty new to the forums....how often do they get "cleared out"?

{Venn_Fairweather} and not the kind Jay made

{Dragon-StratPlanet} I'm still waiting for someone to make a Majesty cartoon.

{Seth} Hmmm... I bet I can maybe do a special issue for that...

{Jay_Adan} What do you mean? The old messages?

{CL_MisterSound} I want to see the advisiors new red carriage that rides 1 inch off the ground

{zeddicus_zul} ive just noticed that theres 4000 posts in 1 topic in the past 30 days

{Jay_Adan} I clean through them about once every six months or so, but I don't get rid of everything.

{zeddicus_zul} oh

{Venn_Fairweather} you mean my Neon Jack?

{CL_MisterSound} yah

{Jay_Adan} Golem left?

{zeddicus_zul} do all the moderators for the forum also work for Cyberlore?

{Jay_Adan} And I was going to tell him about the Zoo...

{Jay_Adan} Nope.

{Seth} Not all

{Kit5150} I don't

{Golem_XV} grrr now that is annoying

{CL_MisterSound} I understand some dealerships offer BIG BIG SAVINGS

{Venn_Fairweather} golems back

{Jay_Adan} Hey, you didn't leave.

{CL_MisterSound} ypu can check out any time you like..

{Kit5150} but you can never leave

Goldy_Bear says we have technical difficulties sometimes

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Jack, can you get me those "special lines" as Mp3's or waves?

{Golem_XV} hey some noticed

{Venn_Fairweather} mister song reference, Jack

{CL_MisterSound} yeah sure

{zeddicus_zul} ive been playing with the idea of a card game for majesty, if me and some friends wanted to make a game for n only and not profit would there be any problem with that?

{Venn_Fairweather} But they're soooooo crude, Dragon!

{Dragon-StratPlanet} I appreciate it... they are much hilarioso

{Seth} Goldy, how do you gett you text to look that way?

{Goldy_Bear} type /me and the text

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Your Majesty, the rumors about me and the gnomes are entirely untrue

Golem_XV think goldy has a bunch of technical difficulties

{CL_MisterSound} i just like the little fellers thats all

Goldy_Bear says Golem wouldn't leave on purpose

{Jay_Adan} Nope. That wouldn't be a problem... just don't distribute it outside of your own friends.

{Venn_Fairweather} Nothing says LOVE like a Gnome

{Dragon-StratPlanet} doh

Jay_Adan Huh?

{Dragon-StratPlanet} but but

{CL_MisterSound} that and "yo Phatness" are my majem-opus

{Venn_Fairweather} butt

{zeddicus_zul} anyone at the forums have the technical knowledge to make a card game that could be played online?

Golem_XV think i could as a joke

{Dragon-StratPlanet} My partner is working on one now

{zeddicus_zul} what kind of game would "Treasure Hunt" be?

{Golem_XV} ive done it before it was very funny to me

{Dragon-StratPlanet} the card game I mean

{zeddicus_zul} dragon-strat, were you replying to me?

{Dragon-StratPlanet} yup

{Jay_Adan} It's a two-player game where you compete against your opponent to drag the most treasure out of a dungeon.

{Dragon-StratPlanet} it is fun... the dungeon game

{Kit5150} What races are there to choose from?

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Name your price Jay, I've been saving my pennies

{CL_MisterSound} humans and goblins

{Jay_Adan} Right now there's only warriors and rangers against Goblins, but we could add any monsters and any heroes to it.

{Venn_Fairweather} but no sound, I think

{Seth} Hey, in the game info window above the chat, the Majesty developer is listed as "Microprose"

Goldy_Bear wonders if daboyz is really there and wishes he would authorize her to add him to her player spy list

{CL_MisterSound} there is sound

{Venn_Fairweather} oooooooooooh

Golem_XV thinks goldy is starting have golemitis really bad cause she has some stream of conscienceness going on or soemthing like that

{CL_MisterSound} all taken from Majesty proper

Goldy_Bear says thank to Daboyz

{Jay_Adan} (FROM THE ORIGINAL DESIGN GUIDE) ZOO: Three Levels. THis building allows you to set a "capture" reward on monsters. The higer zoo levels are needed to contain higher level monsters. This buildingreturns income based on what types of monsters are in it, and also adds an element of danger to your town as monsters might break out of the zoo.

{Dragon-StratPlanet} cool

{Seth} I liked the zoo...and my prison idea...

{Jay_Adan} Now, that text was written in 1996, so I don't know if this was intended in the expansion version of the zoo.

{Golem_XV} oh yeah that from my blunder

{Jay_Adan} Did everybody know that the "Elven Lounge" was originally the "Brothel"?

{Golem_XV} you said you would talk about it in the next majesty chat

{Seth} Those Ripcord guys didn't duck a punch...

{Jay_Adan} I just did... I was expecting you to ask.

{Goldy_Bear} nooooo,,,, did you have to change to remain a PG game?

{CL_MisterSound} The select sound was made when it was the brothel and never changed

{Jay_Adan} Hasbro wasn't too keen on the idea of a Brothel in their game.

{Golem_XV} i forgot about it actually

{Venn_Fairweather} No fun, at allllll

{CL_MisterSound} I liked the alternate to brothel as "Adventurers club"

{Jay_Adan} How about this one...

{Dragon-StratPlanet} House of Ill-repute?

{Venn_Fairweather} At last, Some Adventurrrrrre!

{zeddicus_zul} just polling the room: Would there be any interest in a Majesty based card game if I were to develop a format for one?

Goldy_Bear LOVES the expansion quests and wants to know how Jay solved it

{CL_MisterSound} uh, your Majesty i was just checking the..Have you heard the latest reports about the goblins

{Seth} He used cheats

{Dragon-StratPlanet} If you made one, I'd be happy to pimp it on MD

Goldy_Bear wonders if Jay has beaten Spires of Death

Goldy_Bear laughs out loud

{zeddicus_zul} whats MD?

{Venn_Fairweather} Jay seem very quite,...

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Majesty-Dragon...the site shown at the top of Arcade right now

{Venn_Fairweather} Quiet

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Kit, are you still doing the survivor tournaments?

{CL_MisterSound} I used to call that quest "Gleaming Spires" after the 80's one hit wonder

{Kit5150} we lack the turnout to do an official tourney usually

{Dragon-StratPlanet} ah

{Jay_Adan} THEATER: One Level. This is used to influence the adventurer's behavior. You get a list of plays which you can perform at your theater. Each play influences defferent classes in different ways. Examples are the Valient Hero, which increases the aggressiveness of your heros, or Death of a Wizard, which lowers their aggressiveness, but increases their intelligence. If the elves come to your city, you get more plays to choose from. Occasioanlly you will also get new shows based on other..

{Seth} Who did the song?

{Kit5150} the 4 player round robin is popular though

{Jay_Adan} ...events like your city reaching a certain size, or a hero wandering through.

{Golem_XV} hmmm didnt see that one in there jay

{daboyz} I think Gleaming Spires did the song "Belly of the Whale"

{Jay_Adan} That didn't make it that far, so it wouldn't be in the docs you got.

{zeddicus_zul} Dragon--I will be posting at the forums proposing my idea

{Dragon-StratPlanet} cool

{zeddicus_zul} reply to my posts if you have any suggestions

{CL_MisterSound} "are you ready for the sex girls" was their hit

{Venn_Fairweather} Uhhh,,, I gotta go

{Jay_Adan} Actually, most of the buildings in the original design guide made it into the game.

{Dragon-StratPlanet} bye George

{zeddicus_zul} seems like we're the only ones that like the idea dragon

{Jay_Adan} Bye!

{Kit5150} cya venn

{Venn_Fairweather} Bye gang!

{Golem_XV} by venn

{Goldy_Bear} nooooooooooo, don't go George

{CL_MisterSound} cya soon george

{Dragon-StratPlanet} People will be skeptical until you complete your project Zed, but if you make it, then they may jump on the band wagon. There have been so many promises of stuff like this that never came through

{CL_MisterSound} I need to get supper so see ya'll later

{zeddicus_zul} i understand

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Later jacl.

{Dragon-StratPlanet} jacl=Jack!

{Seth} Im gone too gang! Thanks again!

{CL_MisterSound} bye

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Bye Seth

{Kit5150} cya seth

{Jay_Adan} Zed, the idea is a cool one. We'd actually talked about doing it here.

{Kit5150} i must bask in my VIP glory as long as possible ;-)

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Those Cyberlore folk are hard-core gamers at heart..beyond the PC realm

{Goldy_Bear} Rats! wish they could have stayed longer :(

{Dragon-StratPlanet} :)

{zeddicus_zul} Jay, do you think i should develop a real weird game first then try to make an onlive version?

{Dragon-StratPlanet} It is late for them...srota

{Dragon-StratPlanet} srota=sorta

{Jay_Adan} Definitely. That's the best way to do it.

{Golem_XV} lol dragon i didnt even notice that

{zeddicus_zul} thats what i thought

{Dragon-StratPlanet} play test with friends

{Jay_Adan} First find out if you have a good game before you try to do something like bringing it online.

Goldy_Bear thinks everybody knows Kit even without the stars. He doesn't need star to shine.

{zeddicus_zul} Jay, do you know of anyone else that is, or has been interested in this sort of thing?

{daboyz} play test with people who aren;t friends too. people who will give you honest feedback and wont be afraid to hurt your feelings

{Jay_Adan} Sure.

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Kit leaves a shiner on my bootox every time I play...star or not

{zeddicus_zul} I plan to start a topic at the forums for this, to gather ideas and such, which heading would be best to place it under?

{Golem_XV} lol course youve left one on yourself after an eq

{Dragon-StratPlanet} Hey, is there still going to be a gold version this fall?

{Jay_Adan} There's a forum for Majesty gaming... specifically for Roleplaying, but I could broaden it out to include the card game idea. It doesn't get that much use right now as it is.

{Jay_Adan} I think so.
