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

Magik Knite: NH get much more than we do
Magik Knite: they have a 4th official event prize

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
