It's only half released. We can make them, but others can't see them yet.

It's not visible to anyone but yourself at the moment, as stated in the in-game player message. :)

And I'm sure I posted before I noticed you already did. :)

I've seen a character with a great description and am eager to post my own but am having difficulty! Is it working fully now?

I think we got it settled. The problem was that when you do your own description, it doesn't display at the top like you see people around you displayed, so it's hard to know that what you've entered in the box has been submitted and displays to others.

I could make it visible to yourself, it just seemed redundant to display it twice.

I'm not sure that it matters, it just takes a bit of time to realise you did it right :P

And you're right, it would be redundant

Out of curiosity and interest, what happens to descriptions when a character dies? If the descriptions are actually OOC for the players benefit then I really think that the description should stick with them, would really add to my own interest as a player. If they are actually IC (personally I think its a bit of a mix , and you have to use your own judgement to make sure you don't CRB) I still think they should stick to them ,but it wouldn't be very good for RP if a corpse has mannerisms described to it, like a dead body of a man in his twenties who is described as scratching his beard constantly :lol:

I just didn't get why some people are describing themselves almost like trolls..

What, like ugly? That's great! Not everyone has to be perfect, if thats what you mean? It is excellent that there are some different people, and not everyone is blonde, blue eyed and beautiful.

Agree with Dudel! (yet again :P )
