Cantr forums remind me that FTO is there and also this reminds me that I've an account. Which I should check, possibly... perhaps... I think about it.

I was like 35 in line last time I checked. :lol:

When are we gonna get a Reveries forum?

Also, saw that there were ~70 slots left for beta earlier today, how many seeds are you planning on sowing for the beta?

That's a good point. Probably why the trolls do hang around, I'm guessing. They just have to respond to an email every now and then and sit back and wait.

As soon as possible - I'm working on it now. It uses the same login as the game (is in the "lobby" as it were) so it will only be for those players accepted for closed beta, until the game launches.

100 for now, there may be a second phase depending on how the server handles the load.

Ah, I was hoping it would be something like that. Some forums get insane during closed betas... :shock:

Yeah, only insanity in ours is going to be the sheer amount of awesome overflowing from one place on the internet. :roll:

I look forward to it.

Questions, questions, questions...

I'm also pleasantly suprised by the number of female players applying.

edit: and the number of random quotes about favourite foods, long walks on the beach, which star sign people are or offering various favours in return for a spot. lmao.

That's good news, I do seem to remember that being one of the original concerns for FTO, so it's good thta you're already getting back that response.

lol. Desperate, eh? Are all the slots filled then? If not, are you just waiting for them to be filled to begin beta?

Also, maybe a weird question, but I'm a wanderer, so it's something that interests me: How is travel treated in Reveries? I hear alot of comments on FTO not allowing interaction or anything else during movement between regions, which I imagine could make moving with a large group difficult. How are you addressing nomadic tendencies?

Yeah, it's one of the main reasons I decided to start the project - I think it is very appealing to women, they just often aren't even aware of it.

Far from it, still plenty of spots left.. but no, still very much in development and will be for some time. I just decided to open the application process early because I'm being fairly fussy about who I'm looking for.

So am I..

It's on a line of sight basis which will change depending on terrain - so you can interact with anyone within range. The travelling speed is quite dynamic too, changing based on many factors such as hill gradients, amount carried, etc.

I'm imagining an awesome "Land Ho!" type moment for seafaring.

Mapping should be fun then

I love cartography!

Will it be free travel or Cantresque?

chase02 · Postby **chase02** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 6:07 am

It is free travel.
