Empty Cavern and Pelishard

[andylegate]

I have to agree with a lot of what Dustin just said here: Right now Shards are more appealing in many ways. In every way that he described them.

Even once (if) Cyan finally gets around to releasing MOUL:a's server code, I've got a feeling that people will still want to flock to private Shards, simply because we're still waiting on being able to add/modify anything for MOUL:a

Being able to log back into the cavern with MOUL:a had a lot of people very excited. But since that time, the amount of log on's has dropped quite a bit. There's nothing new, and any questions about that is pretty much met with: be patient, we're doing this in our spare time.

The frustrating part of it being the sheer number of people here that can add just small things to MOUL:a right now is staggering: A note, another journal, clothing.....these things take only a little bit of time to create and add to the game (compared to making a whole Age of course). There could be several new "items" added to the cavern every single week.

Of course there is the problem of who decides what get's added, etc, etc, and then the circular argument of Cyan only having a couple of guys in their spare time getting all these things dumped on them to put into the game.

It's no wonder people flock to shards. I certainly can't blame them and understand it myself. I mean how can Cyan compete with that? They can't. At least not if things stay the way they are.

What's really frustrating is having their plugin........I can make things for MOUL:a right now. I can even convert Fan Ages over to MOUL:a right now for people that don't have Max......but why go through all that trouble if nothing is going to be added to MOUL:a any time soon? Easier to make stuff in Blender, or yah, with Max and then convert it over with Dustin's Drizzle, and then people can enjoy it on their Alcugs shard.

I will NOT get started on Pelishard. I can't understand why people join a Shard run by such a person.

Simple It was the only one we knew about. The rest have stayed very underground and secretive, understandably so, but the Palishard for a short time advertised and that atracted people who wanted to return to the Caverns before Cyan opened their Uru Live Server to the public. For instance If their where an alternate Web address we could type in the server text box under UAM settings tab where we could see all the numerous shard patches we can pic and choose which one we like the most.

in sort if we had a choice some of us probably would have not gone to the Palishard.

I was thinking of having the ability to select a shard, yes. It should be pretty easy to do, but a person not knowing what they are doing might mess up their Uru installation. Of course, only shards that wanted to be there would be there.

[Karkadann]

Exactly this way if and when they have more room on their server they could let you know. IE we still have more room on our shard over here can you put my patch up for short time.

Just something to think about, while we wait.

Edit to correct

Well it seems Pelishard is history. Someone attacked them and shut them down.

Can't say I'm sorry to see this.

[Aloys]

Well it sucks for all the people that enjoyed the shard.
On the other hand that's a good reminder to back up your data folks; you never know when it can disappear..

With what I've seen from Dhel, he probably just grew bored, took it down, and claimed it was haxxors. That's just my opinion, though.

You didn't read my mind, did you?
