Familiar Forums-- 2008 Reply to this Post Reply with Quote I was looking through Familiar forums and stumbled upon the Ice oceans list of Fams. There is a total of 6 have been given out since 2005. The most recent being July 2007. Not that im pointing fingers or anything like that, but wheres the 2008 Fam give away? It looks like 4 were given away in 2006, busy year. Anyway, just me wasting time on forums when I could be doing something important like solving world hunger. ---------------------------------------- Gameplay on Midnight ( and most oceans ) Gleeful and Taio on Sage Buoyant on Malachite Gleeful on Ice

Re: Familiar Forums-- 2008 Reply to this Post Reply with Quote I agree with that, Ice is a test ocean and not the same as production ocean. And it doesn't need Familiars, but they were still given out in previous years. I was just wondering why there wasn't anything for this year. ---------------------------------------- Gameplay on Midnight ( and most oceans ) Gleeful and Taio on Sage Buoyant on Malachite Gleeful on Ice

Re: Familiar Forums-- 2008 Reply to this Post Reply with Quote There may have not been anything that would merit one being given. Its been known that some of those that were given on Ice were to people who caught major bugs that would be abused by some and other reasons. Its not a production ocean therefor they have no real value. ---------------------------------------- Flutie Midnight Cerulean Ocean April 1, 2009 on Midnight Ocean [21:22:49] Eurydice broadcasts, "Okay, Flutie, this better be good."

Re: Familiar Forums-- 2008 Reply to this Post Reply with Quote He's right tho. Ice doesn't need familiars. If anything there's way too much hoarding and what not on ice as it is. If it weren't for shopes not being able to keep up with new products for testing, I'd be all for semiannual wipes of ice. It's there to test new features, not to be the primary play area. ---------------------------------------- JainaSolo, sheepish jedi Blazeblade says, "you're talking to a SHEEP?"

Re: Familiar Forums-- 2008 Reply to this Post Reply with Quote Mate, there is little to no reason to have player owned familiars on ice. With OM activity during peak testing periods they can see if there is a familiar caused problum since they have them. ----------------------------------------   Cephalopod greeter chats, "I think...

Re: Familiar Forums-- 2008 Reply to this Post Reply with Quote Throw the buggers into the palace shoppe then. Even if you make the rarity of familiars on Ice the same as production oceans, there won't be a big enough test case to be effective. (Yes, I'm purposely attempting to devalue familiars on Ice. Having a need for something "valuable" on an ocean that could be wiped tomorrow is a horrible idea) ---------------------------------------- Pirate tells you, "my, that's one BIG wad o' chewing gum ye have mounted on yer bonce! oO'" Sungod officer chats, "I wonder if anyone's sailing the harpsichord" Pirate tells you, "ZOMG CANDYFLOSS!!! *munches*" ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by Thunderbird at Sep 9, 2008 3:28:15 PM]
