Rabbit (World Manager): as well as other similar projects

Rabbit (World Manager): One of the things she has been working on

Rabbit (World Manager): is a idea for a Kymer Yellow Pages

Caretaker Aphrael: whooops white out

Rabbit (World Manager): A board for members to advertise items for sell

Rabbit (World Manager): games

Caretaker Aphrael: you register an account

Caretaker Aphrael: and then you can post your ad

Magik Knite: ah

Magik Knite: when we gettin our mail boxes in DS?

Spidey (World Manager): I have no idea.. MK

Norrie: you see I suggested the mail boxes and they went to NH

Spidey (World Manager): we have no control over that.. Norrie

Spidey (World Manager): this is a programming issue

Caretaker Perry: Errr....Norrie....personal mail was in development since 4 years.

Magik Knite: we never new that

Magik Knite: lol

Norrie: that was a part of the original program

Norrie: it has been there

Caretaker Perry: Yep.

Caretaker Perry: It was in beta and had a lot of serious bugs to fix

Norrie: but it would work for us?

Caretaker Perry: about 4 years ago

Norrie: it was in Glass City and it worked fine

Magik Knite: thats cos Fujitsu wrote the software lol

Norrie: same client<shrug>

Spidey (World Manager): no.. a different client

Spidey (World Manager): it might appear the same..

Caretaker Joscelin : Excheese me folks <grin>

Spidey (World Manager): but it is different

Norrie: ok<grin>

Caretaker Perry: Another world based on VZones technology, EF. Korean if i'm right.

moto: can we have an amnesty for evryone on theyr last warning?

Norrie: not argueing but still we get so little compared to NH

Magik Knite: plus glass city's server side software is slight different to ours as well

Caretaker Perry: Though they closed last year

Magik Knite: I agree with norrie tho

Magik Knite: NH get much more than we do

Magik Knite: they have a 4th official event prize

Acolyte Lori: We get monthly turfs<jump>

Magik Knite: and we ahve asked

Acolyte Lori: They dont

Acolyte Lori: ROFL

Norrie: hugggs

Caretaker Aphrael: <purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr>

Norrie: congratulations

Acolyte Lori: Well I guess its your preferences

Acolyte Lori: I tried over there

Caretaker Perry: Is this a race of some sorts ?

Acolyte Lori: I like the sense of community better over here

Norrie: nope not like the clientel in NH

Magik Knite: no perry but DS was here first and we should be equal as NH

Magik Knite: and we are not

Norrie: we should be equal

Acolyte Lori: I dont agree....

Spidey (World Manager): DS has things that NH does not

Caretaker Aphrael: I bet they say the same in NH... the DS gets more than we do...

Acolyte Lori: Each world is different

Spidey (World Manager): if both worlds were the same..

Magik Knite: you dont agree that we should be equal Lori?

Spidey (World Manager): why have both <shrug>

Norrie: it seems that the powers that be are trying to kill DS<shrug>

Acolyte Lori: And has their own special qualities

ßlåçk Wîdôw: (Comment From Clouds) Plus we pay more for Less

Norrie: we have very little they do not have

Acolyte Lori: No I dont....

Norrie: they have lots we dont have

Acolyte Lori: Why would you have two worlds then if they were the same

Spidey (World Manager): also... maybe it is just being tested in NH

Acolyte Lori: You would only need one<shrug>

Magik Knite: they dont have to be the same

Spidey (World Manager): and it will be a global change for all worlds

Magik Knite: but the quantity should be

Magik Knite: the items can varey

Spidey (World Manager): please remember

Spidey (World Manager): that NH has been down often

Magik Knite: but the quantity shouldnt

Norrie: sorry spidey but it seems we are the redheaded step sister

Spidey (World Manager): and they client worked on

Magik Knite: and right now it does

Spidey (World Manager): we have not been down

Acolyte Lori: They have ALOT more crashes than we do

Acolyte Lori: Huggz Wiz

Spidey (World Manager): they have had many problems to fix

Spidey (World Manager): we are stable

Magik Knite: DS has had its share of downtime

Acolyte Lori: Yes we have...but they have had more

Magik Knite: but downtime has nothing to do with the issue

Norrie: we are not down as much as NH true

Acolyte Lori: Or at least thats what i have heard lol

Caretaker Perry: This was a town meeting, Tjia. <g>

Spidey (World Manager): but they can work on things while it is down

Magik Knite: same goes for DS

Spidey (World Manager): we haven't been down.. MK

Magik Knite: but we hardly get anything worked on

Magik Knite: most people spend there time in NH cos there is more there

Acolyte Lori: Still the same one Angel

Acolyte Lori: LOL

Norrie: MK maybe that is cause DS works LOL

Spidey (World Manager): I really can't answer programming issues..

Magik Knite: DS is a ghost town

Norrie: but yes DS looks like ghost town

Magik Knite: because we dont have anything here that people will play games all day for

Magik Knite: unlike NH

Acolyte Lori: Well lets change that...

Acolyte Lori: Give some ideas on how we can

Spidey (World Manager): well the only way to change that is..

Acolyte Lori: get peeps out and about again

Magik Knite: I think we need more interaction form the staff to revive dreamscape

Spidey (World Manager): for the members to get out of the clouds

moto: ghostin for ghosties

Spidey (World Manager): and socialize

Acolyte Lori: I'm always here

Acolyte Lori: LOL

Acolyte Lori: ALWAYS

DS Jester Laffalot: so.. we are stable??..p'raps this is why you get a little hoarse at Town meetings?

Magik Knite: yes you are auntie

Acolyte Lori: hehe

Norrie: I would say more games but I do not play them<shrug>

Spidey (World Manager): ROTF,L

ßlåçk Wîdôw: DS Is Now a PayPal Swap Mart .. Play Event Games Win Prizes then stand outside selling them until next event

Magik Knite: but being here doesnt meant your actually doing anything

DS Jester Laffalot: there is plenty of fun for those that wish it

Caretaker Aphrael: <groan> a punster

Magik Knite: sorry to put it like htat

Acolyte Lori: Doesnt have to necessarily be more games

Magik Knite: that**

Acolyte Lori: I dont do anything?

Acolyte Lori: LOL

Acolyte Lori: Follow me around one day

Magik Knite: i dint say you dont do anything at all

Acolyte Lori: <vbg>

Caretaker Perry: More games means more prizes ?

Norrie: do they?

Magik Knite: yes perry

Magik Knite: thats what we want

Magik Knite: more staff hosted games

Spidey (World Manager): really more prizes aren't needed..

Magik Knite: for special prizes

Magik Knite: maybe not special

Acolyte Lori: I personally dont think we need more prizes

Acolyte Lori: We need more chat

Spidey (World Manager): the more free games that are held..

Caretaker Aphrael: take a look at the schedule, it's well filled

Magik Knite: but maybe for things that people cant buy no more

Spidey (World Manager): the less people want to play

Magik Knite: these days we get recycled acolyte prizes in our games

Magik Knite: thats so wrong

Acolyte Lori: The reason why people are unhappy with the aco prizes....

Spidey (World Manager): if you recall years ago..

Magik Knite: NH never have to recycle

Acolyte Lori: Is cause there is SOO many of them out there

Teekie: yeah how about different prizes?

Spidey (World Manager): bingo wasn't an aco sponsored game

Spidey (World Manager): and it was played 24/7

Magik Knite: then redesign the prizes to something that isnt out there

Acolyte Lori: Yep thats true BW...but we are getting new ones in

Spidey (World Manager): the aco prizes have changed

Teekie: or at least something people WANT to play for

Acolyte Lori: We have had new art for the aco prizes

Spidey (World Manager): and will continue to change

Caretaker Aphrael: the new monthly chest... the blanket...

Maroussia: Where am I?? I could have swore this was DS? Why discuss NH<shrug> Makes no sense

Magik Knite: change all vendos to new things

Acolyte Lori: Yep I remember that Angel

Norrie: it is true we have more prizes than we had before

Caretaker Perry: tockets are an attempt in the direction.

Magik Knite: give people a reason to NOT park

Caretaker Perry: tickets

Teekie: because the population is alive in NH<grin>

Magik Knite: i know hollee

Norrie: not discussin it comparin

Teekie: clearly they are doing something right<shrug>

Magik Knite: and why is the population alive in NH?

Teekie: and if you ask around

Teekie: much of that is due to the games

Acolyte Lori: Well give some suggestions, besides new prizes

Teekie: why besides that?

Acolyte Lori: That we could do to get people alive here

Teekie: why can't we have that<shrug>

Magik Knite: yes

Maroussia: then go to NH where all the FUN seems to be

Acolyte Lori: WE have plenty of games

Magik Knite: we can ahve that

Magik Knite: but

Spidey (World Manager): if you have suggestions on aco prizes..

Spidey (World Manager): please email me at spidey@electracat.com
