Should there also be a did you know "there are no pianos in cantr" or "there are no kazoos in cantr" as well, and any other instrument we can't make? I just really think that fact is weird and doesn't need to be there and gets confusing because it mentions something that isn't a part of the game and I think is irrelevant. But that's just me =P


It implies that some people did think there were harpsichords in the game, I wonder if that's true. I didn't even know what they were. :lol:

I don't know what they are either, it seems so obscure, there are more popular well known instruments I would assume were in the game =P for that matter, we should have pianos. Like a stationary instrument, I dunno, it'd be fun.

As far as i know harpsichords are a type of animal. If so, they probably are defined in the DB, but there simply is no place where they actually live within the Cantr world.

Or it's just a hoax.

It's some sort of crippled piano.

Ok, so they definitely don't live in Cantr. :)

When all my ideas for "did you know..." have been already written, I've started to ask people what they find strange or interesting in the game.
One of them - a musician - said there are no harpsichords in Cantr. He also mentioned pianos, but they are more likely to become implemented in the future.
Then I'd have to update these texts and I'm too laaaazy for that.
I prefer to never introduce harpsichords and keep the 'did you know...' text.

I wonder why do I meet chars of a certain player so often. I don't think someone is chasing me ,there is no reason for that. just it looks funny to me,I believe I have met at least 5-6 chars of same player and if one of my chars leaves that place he/she meets another similar person. Maybe this is only an impression and that player thinks the same of me :P

The world is way too small. I am always bumping into characters of which I know the player instantly..

Otherside says: Hey folks! How are we all?

I noticed that too! It's weird. Even once had someone spawn two chars who both went out with two of my chars at the same time and their personalities were different but the names were similar so I knew and it threw me off sometimes. Then sadly their account was closed and both died, tragedy for two of mine at once, ouch, and also another I had suspected was theirs and then when he died I was like yeah. And there's a few others I'm constantly running into. Not always sure who the player is on the forums but can tell two characters are more likely than not the same player.

You and I must have a lot of characters around each other, in that case, because I swear I can't get away from his characters. I wouldn't want to either (other than maybe for some diversity). He's one of the players I respect the most, as far as his role playing skills are concerned.

It bugs me that no one reacts to cold. Of course there's no use whining about it when there's nothing that can be done to change it, but if you're in a place that has plenty of resources to make anything you can imagine, why do people still ignore the cold?

Most of my characters only complain about the cold if there's a blizzard and they have to walk outside in it.
I have one that absolutely despises all forms of cold, though.
