I will say, though, that the guild shirt system is a shame since you'd have to keep changing clothes whenever you wanted to visit a different D'ni Pub.



the /saveclothing and /loadclothing commands make changing shirts a great deal easier now :D - you could pick up all the shirts in one Kirel visit, saving each one. Changing into them just means making sure no other explorer is around when you do ;) .

http://drcsite.org/dnifaq.php <-- look at how many Guilds there were =P

EDIT: Guild of Ink-Makers... Guild of Books, or the Archivists.. or, hell, the Guild of /mechanists/, all of those sounds pretty fucking cool. XD If the line is "its a classical D'ni Guild" there's cooler stuff than the cartographers out there =P


Yes I know there are a lot of guilds. I don't know why you would assume I didn't know that. You don't understand my logic. I never said that I thought all D'ni Guilds had to have a pub designed, just that no one should FEEL THAT IT'S POINTLESS to work on a guild area just because there isn't an Uru community representation of it.

"Cooler" is a matter of opinion. Besides, it was someone else who was showing specific interest in the Cartographers' Pub. But if someone seriously wanted to make a Healers' Pub or any other guild, that could also be pretty awesome.

Why bother building Guild Pubs...the D'ni are dead.


(this post brought to you by the letter sarcasm. And the number "build whatever you want if you want to, who really cares if some fan group is defunct doesn't mean the pub wouldn't be cool to explore")

Hihi, funny, Tweek, as for the irony ... some even claim to be their descendants having returned home ... :P

And of course, if one feels inspired to build or rebuild something, whatever, go ahead, you're in the right place here ... The GoC, though not active anymore, left behind great material to indulge in and to work with, they had to be asked for permission to use it of course, but a new GoC pub would be, just like the new GoM pub, a great place for all kinds of personalities, group gatherings, presentations and discourses etc. for exciting further and deeper explorations and studies etc., and of course parties lol ... Even without the GoC's approval to use their stuff, though I don't believe they'd ever deny it, there's sufficient awesome material around the official D'niverse that could be used and presented as a gallery and on great imagers and boards etc. ... Yeah, why not making Uru as great as it can be while that is still possible ... :)

Building guild pubs is cool. No matter whether there is an existing fan community behind this guild, people will still link to the pub if it's beautiful. So it's never pointless.
However, I'd rather see a totally new location with puzzles, exploration, challenges, anything. Guild pubs are fine, but they are only meeting places and there isn't anything to do in them.
What I like about Myst and Uru, is both sight-seeing, and puzzle solving (if it's in a creepy setting, it's even better).

So if someone is to start an Age, I'd prefer something new. It doesn't need to be big, but there must be good graphic quality and things to do in it.
For instance, Jalak Dador and Minkata are very simple Ages (compared to Er'cana, Ahnonay, Gahreesen and such). Their sizes are totally different, but either way, they must've been relatively simple to create, there is something interesting to do in them, and they are good looking.

That said, the choice of the Age should always be the artist's, because building in Uru is very tedious, and even an empty but good looking Age will still be appreciated.

Don't worry, I have a huge project coming up if I can actually learn the stuff necessary. I know Python now. I'm actually reconsidering my decision to update the Cartographer's Pub. I had some ideas, but I also have some ideas for a Maintainer's Pub. I guess I'll just ask everyone, which would you like to come first?

I'd definitely like to have a Linguist Pub.

Oh, there's going to be more story/content/ect added to the GoMe pub as Gehn updates are released. Most of this will be things to look at, for the fun/humor value, but there will be other additions, as well. The game rooms still need to restored, and getting the gaming tables functional will be a challenge, I'm sure. Ly is also working to restore the audio-recorders, plus the various Messengers may place notes to each other or accidently leave work behind from time to time, ect.

Well gotta go, we're almost out of Columbian...gotta get some more coffee from the storeroom...Now where did Doobes put the spare set of keys?

He's always leaving them in the darnest of places....

Well put!

I'd say that's up to you. It'd be your project, after all. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing either. I would recommend putting screenshots of any work on here and elsewhere (once it's far enough along) to get some honest opinions and helpful suggestions. It can only make things better.

Now now, Mr. Nev'yn...I left YOU in charge of those keys. You probably left 'em somewhere and don't want to fess up. :P
