I hope that once alpha starts, we will get a flood of details from the alpha-players. No NDA is going to be sooo refreshing. I like the videoblogs, it is great to see the devs in person talk about their game, but I felt that the videoblogs had somewhat less info in them then most of the written blogs.
I realize that lately they have to go more into detail, since most of the outlines of the gamesystems have been given already (leading to those meaty written blogs in the past 18 months).
Alpha players, be prepared for a flood of questions, even though many of those you undoubtedly will have to answer with: "not in yet".
I wonder if you guys are allowed to post videos?

Click, click, click… Wish I had more time recently to read the forum…work so busy I just get to barely slip in the Wednesday updates :(. But it's Wednesday so :)….. (<--- That's drool by the way)
They did Noon PST last time, which is 3:00PM EST. 16 minutes from now!!

Very informative! Bluddwolf and our resident number crunchers are going to have a field day as soon as they start analyzing the photos...
Crafters are going to be giddy also. Lol
So what is the predictions?
MVP update, Alpha progress update, managing player expectations?

We are going to talk about the map tomorrow. I shot the video this afternoon but I have not begun editing. Expect the blog to be late by a few hours tomorrow.
Thanks for the quick update, looking forward to the next blog! :)
Maps? This makes me inordinately happy. Love the choice for the blog!
Ryan Dancey wrote: We are going to talk about the map tomorrow. Yay!
Maps..... So mysterious..... Could mean so much or so little.....
I hope it includes some info on exploration and cartography!
Hex Types and how they will be arraigned on the overall map.
Geographic features and interaction with them.
I'd love to see the actual map :)
Hmm, will the devs go over how the servers form the map under the scenes and how boundaries will be dealt with and how load-balancing and what player-density per hex type devs are aiming at?
Also travel times exp. and travel speed, total area, topology and info players can find from the map... to add to Bludd's wishlist.
Edit: @Nihimon: I hope that's a given!
Also devs: The challenges of single shard world/map

Happy Birthday, Diella :)
[Edit] On a somewhat related note...
"If your child was born today, tell them they were born on the day it snowed in Spring after the Blood Moon rose, as the prophecy foretold"
Think of the blog as a birthday present.

Glad to know it's coming. The one thing I've been looking forward to after getting done with work today.

Thanks Ryan! It's 11pm + ET so I'm going to read it, go to sleep, read it in the morning and then comment on it. :)
Avari, read the end credits, Ryan has a surprise for you. (Grin)

The map will forever be known as having been drawn on baby panda skins...
I went to bed, but I have seen it now. I liked the video, and I imagen I'll be hanging out in the badlands and the meteor areas a lot :D
It had to be done. This thread actually fell off from the first page! Lots of activity lately. Anyone want to guess what the blog will be about?
*crosses fingers that we will actually get a blog because so many other things are going on*
