Can't wait for the libraries!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome publish coming!

[Seranthor]

Someday.

[evilkarl]

Libraries will be interesting to see in game. It is good to see a dragon trophy hunter in dralk and some more fixes.

Btw Seranthor wide spread expert forms haven't been in game a year yet.

[Seranthor]

Expert forms arrived ON the vielo 08 Jun 2004... do the research... I didn't say 'widespread' in anything at all. My facts are correct.

and I DO know confectioners that would gladly spend 200, 300, 500s for an expert food form... :)

[evilkarl]

I suppose your facts are correct if you consider the June-merge weekly form sampler as the release of expert forms.

[Alladania]

I guess my interest in the libraries depends on the footprint. I don't think I'd be willing to sacrifice a lot of construction and acreage for 50 forms. [:^)] I am hopeful that it's a very small item (smaller than the pottery workshop) and that I can fit it in.

[Snowdonia Honeythorn]

I'm with Alladania on that one. I'd personally like to see them look like actual bookshelves and have the narrow footprint to match where higher tiered libraries have longer, but not wider, footprints.

[AmonGwareth]

They do have bookshelves. But they are an actual building. The size determines the number of bookshelves they have in them in addition to the capacity.

[AmonGwareth]

Um... I'm not sure what the shelves in Tazoon are. These are bookshelves you can walk around and they do have books on them.

[David Bowman]

The three tiers of Libraries each have the same footprint. They only change in the tier of the construction materials required to construct them and the interior appearance of the number of shelves. So, if you have room for one, you have room for any of the three.

[Crazyfingers]

If I builds me a library canother playerscheck out forms and techs for a fee? Or is this just more storage space for packrats?

Nice Additions and Changes, can't wait to see them live...

Question with the new ARoP sections are we going to be able to go into the rift yet? or is it the bit that is mentioned below:

'To aid in the separation, you will need to charge your Rune of Summoning at the Focus of Spirit. It is an ancient structure created by Drulkar himself! It can be found near the Gate of Embers.'
Hethsa tells you, 'It is not within the Chamber of Ancients itself, as you know. You will have to look atop the surrounding hills. I do hope that time has not damaged it beyond use, for it was crafted from the souls of Drulkar's enemies, and repairing it would prove quite a task indeed!. Well, if you wish to find it, Dragon, you should probably start looking!'
Hethsa tells you, 'You know all you need to, Dragon. Go speak to V'tieru about charging your Rune of Summoning at the Focus of Spirit.'

I believe the Focus of Spirit is the screenshot linked below

I think it's the last part we need to do before going into the rift. So we will need to learn how to become a soul to enter the rift.

[Fireclaw]

Hmm. Given that DB said in the article posted yesterday that ARoP was "complete", I find it strange that the whole thing isn't going out to Blight shard now. Perhaps DB's statement was false and the ARoP really isn't complete.[N] [N][N][N]

Can't say I'm too surprised though.[U]

Updates / Additions:

T2, T4 and T6 Human Libraries have been added. <br>They provide 50 bulk, 50 slots; 75 bulk, 75 slots; and 100 bulk, 100 slots respectively.

hmm dont sounds big to me? 50 bulk, 50 slots is only 50 formulars? how big is such a library? size on a plot?

It may very well be complete as far as the programming aspects go and may be getting hammered on in their genesis or delta shards to double check everything.

"Rest now. The answers are coming."
