    How much is 72 hours worth? Is it the same amount on a level 20 skill and a level 60 skill? Is it the same for every avatar or does it actually calculate on what i had gained in the 72 hours before the interruption?

    So the greenhouse has been without a floor for a number of releases. I really liked the floor that was there originally and I was wondering if now that greenhouses offer a bonus to agriculture, if we could get the floor put back on to that asset?

    If it's a matter of having interior vs. exterior ground space, couldn't we just label the green house floor as "exterior"?

    No its a pathfinding and deco placement issue. Only way to have a floor on a player lot currently is with a house

    It was the night before Release 26,
    When all through Portalarium,
    A @DarkStarr was stirring,
    As the dev team kept coding.

    @Lum was still busy writing, a story to be told,
    Creating new NPCs, some meek others bold.
    New Britannians laid down all nestled in bed,
    With dreams of new Avatars dancing in their heads.

    When all of a sudden an alert from the forums,
    Nevermind the trolling or the lack of decorum,
    I scanned the posts eager to see what was said,
    Then laughed and smiled while sratching my head.

    Happy Release to you all and job well done! :D

    Thank you Starr for a great post! This release shall be fun ...

    Noticed no "Control Chaos Demon" - As stated so many times "Chaos can not be controlled" Reckon this proves the point as we see Chaos Demons running amok across New Britannia.... Bring on the fun!

    Huzzah!

    I am looking forward to seeing these in the Add On Store soon! :)

    3 New Player Homes: We added a few new player homes to the game.
    • Kobold Dwelling Village Home: This village sized home is built in the Kobold industrial style.
    • Round Tower Village Home: This village sized home is built using one of the towers from the Castle Wall kit.
    • Stone Keep Town Home: This town sized home is built using one of the towers from the Castle Wall kit.

    I did not even realize that just going through it now as I only read the notes that had previously been posted in the dev section. Very cool! :)

    One of the richest releases to date.

    Five weeks worth of development time really show off.

    So it seems my $45 towards the development didnt count as a pledge, every quest information I search for, help on certain parts and gameplay queries are all blocked, so much for game support for people that bought this game through steam early access, very unhappy there is no information available for steam users, and suppose this is gonna continue for a while. Seems the developers are leaving all the steam players out in the cold, we are suppose to be testers too :(

    Sorry that you feel that way. No one is being left out in the cold we just leverage our Dev+ players to vet content for a day or two before it goes live. We are a small team so they help us edit and wordsmith. It is public as of several minutes ago.
