any of you guys know how i would be using Drizzle to see some player ages and all of a sudden someone pops into the age and starts talking to me as if it were online? This really happened. I ran to the link in to see who it was, but they left. Did i somehow "Drizzle" my way into urulive? the 2 folders are almost identical.

Is it possible you were connected to one of the shards?

I guess this happened to you in Eder Tomahn? Did you check if that "person" left something behind for you?

Some fan ages have NPCs. And sometimes even visible ones...

What does NPCs mean, please ?

NPC = Non-Player Character, in computer games, it's normally a player that is controlled by the software and computer, not a real, live person.

If it was Eder Tomahn......Surprise! The answer is: No, if you used Drizzle to download the Age for offline play, you were not suddenly online, it was something I put in to surprise people. Also, so that something would suddenly appear that was not there before.

Thanks for the reply Andy.

Eder Tomahn's not the only one--there's a couple Ages that have NPC avatars pop up and say things. I actually bumped into one of them ONLINE (on Deep Island) and thought at first that it was a player, until I realized the person's actions and emotes were clearly scripted .
