SirBryan was on to answer questions . . . I thought I'd scribe, but I didn't grab all the questions . . . sorry :-x

SirBryan: Ok, now only I can talk.
SirBryan: Lol.
SirBryan: Checking something
SirBryan: Looks like we lost a line at the bottom of chat window.
SirBryan: Humm, guess I get to update tomorrow yet again.
SirBryan: So here is the scoop!!
SirBryan: Want to play Realm Free??
SirBryan: Do you??
SirBryan: Norseman Games has implemented a new referral program that gives you 5 FREE days for every monthly account you refer.
SirBryan: EVERY TIME they pay for a month you get 5 days free.
SirBryan: EVERY single time.
SirBryan: This means if you get 5 friends to play. You play free as long as they continue to pay for the game.
SirBryan: If they pay for an Annual subscript you get 65 days free!!!
SirBryan: You can have talk to friends and give them your referral code found in the new look at screens.
SirBryan: And they enter it on the purchase page and you are hooked up.
SirBryan: You can also make use of banners on your own websites to get new players.
SirBryan: Cool, things are happening. Make sure that you are a part of it.
SirBryan: Friends Make IT Free.
SirBryan: Lol, the new skill spot is a coming surprise. {grin}
SirBryan: Lol, Coppers are going to be earned in the events. They are a special type of gold that is linked to each of your accounts.
SirBryan: They will be able to buy things in the Swap N Shop. Like free time, rare items, possible even some unique items. {grin} It is all happening.
SirBryan: All of the players you have referred that entered the referral code already are INCLUDED in this. We have 75 players referred already.
SirBryan: The text thing is very annoying. Yes, it will be fixed in the morning. Very early! Maybe even late tonight.
SirBryan: You can refer yourself on a new account and get credit for it SURE.
SirBryan: The referral code has always been visible on the manage-account page. It was only put in game this evening. But there are players out there that saw what was coming and went for it!!
SirBryan: Thanks to them. The little eager beavers.. {grin}
SirBryan: No ponies yet. {grin]
SirBryan: Humm, wasted build points. Are they really wasted. {grin}
SirBryan: New skills and such is for another conversation.
SirBryan: NORVegeta. That is a good one. Do you really think I am going to tell you that out in the Deep Desert you can find a new weapon of unbilieveable strength????
SirBryan: Something tells me, no I am not going to warn anyone of anything that way.
SirBryan: Picana, alignment is in the look at screens.
SirBryan: No refunds. Not sure you really would want one either........
SirBryan: What about the pouches from V-Day???
SirBryan: Fault, I think it is one already. And it is going to be an even better one.
SirBryan: Lol, if we said then we would not surprise them.
SirBryan: Events are going to be held at any and all times of the day. They will be around the clock.
SirBryan: Spazzbot, sounds like the balance stuff. It will be balanced perfectly in time.
SirBryan: Bambielicious yup. it has been noted.
SirBryan: Maybe and then again maybe not.
SirBryan: The PvP system is on the schedule to be fixed. But I am not about to give a date on it. {grin}
SirBryan: There are enough bats out there to beat on me with {grin}
SirBryan: Lol, TheCheeze I wish I could do that. But any timeline is so flexible.
SirBryan: This update was scheduled to come in about 3 weeks ago.
SirBryan: But due to other things going on, it obviously did not make it. And if I gave a timeline things would be expected on time.
SirBryan: And I just can not guarantee that they will be.
SirBryan: Alyss, possibly. Thought it was ok. but noted. I will add it to the list to look into. (asked about altering the buttons on the Look At screen)
SirBryan: Lol, Floyd that is just mean! {grin} But then me walking around and letting people jump me to die would be mean also.
SirBryan: LittleFoot I am sure I could. (asked about creating a magical maul)
SirBryan: Coppers are locked to your account. So no trading. You have to earn enough yourself!! {grin}
SirBryan: The gamers know what is coming and what is being worked on. They all know that a solid base is required or we get into the flip flop balance mode of the old times where one day wizards rule, the next warriors rule.
SirBryan: You really do not want to go back to that. You want the vision that is coming, but you have to help make it a reality.
SirBryan: the level cap is still in place and the vision has it totally removed for ever!!!
SirBryan: Humm, Ceph. I think I would agree with you on that one. {grin}
SirBryan: Joemo, you will have to wait for the shop to open I would imagine.
SirBryan: Nope, no way to go back can only go forward.
SirBryan: Test will be back when I get done talking here as always.
SirBryan: MajesticLover, look. You make a custom skin, the steps are on the website.
SirBryan: Slowed room tab is because I am talking. Sorry.
SirBryan: Thanks, MoonChild. I know the times they be tough. but we know where we are going and dog gone it we are going to get there if I have to carry Scott. {grin}
SirBryan: Or is that make him carry me!!! {grin BIGGER}
SirBryan: Yes, events are the only way to get coppers.
SirBryan: you can not go back and enter referral codes that have not already been entered. Sorry.
SirBryan: Lol. Move is advertising big time.
SirBryan: Lol, yes I would like to introduce my twin the newest member of Realm Staff.
SirBryan: It really is too bad that I have to do all the work for him!!
SirBryan: Waui not currently.
SirBryan: ThePain, that is correct as SOON as they pay you get free time which pushes your billing date out into the future. And then EVERY time after that that they pay you get MORE free time!!!
SirBryan: Bear, ah sorry. That would be an event. I stick to the programming side. So I am sure there is something coming if he said it. (question about realm pouches)
SirBryan: And knowing him it is big.
SirBryan: MoonChild I agree and whats more so does everyone else here or as you say they would not be here. {grin}
SirBryan: TheCheeze, not here and I know about that. CS had to ask me about the techinal of it.
SirBryan: Xombia, but of course there will!!! (asking if there'd ever be a trading system)
SirBryan: Will I give you a specific date for it???
SirBryan: Not likely. Like I said before I do not need anymore bats out there beating on me. {grin}
SirBryan: LittleFoot's Idea, oh the Maul?? Not sure I will hand it off to the lead designer to check into.
SirBryan: Lol, Shamiera. Oh the desire to tell things coming !!!
SirBryan: but that unfortunately just gets me in more trouble because design like most other things in life do not follow set patterns.
SirBryan: Shoot, my mom was told I would be born on March 4th! But I was born on February 17th. I could not even stick to schedule back then!!!!
SirBryan: {grin}
SirBryan: Lol, MickeyMECH I could but not now. (asking for hints for future of 1k toons)
SirBryan: Lol, the future is bright and getting a lot brighter as time passes.
SirBryan: Things in the swap n shop. Free time, free experience, rare items. maybe even some unique items. that enough {grin}
SirBryan: MECHEnoch, I do not intentionally ignore anything. I am a very busy person trying to get things built that will give you all the things that you desire and that frankly Realm desires!!
SirBryan: The changes to fighting are numberous. But then I am again getting into that dangerous area of the baseball field. {grin}
SirBryan: Slupeyslide. Lol, now that is good!!
SirBryan: Ghostwise. PvP will never be taken out. The plans for it include a special forced yescombat island. But there you go getting me in that danger zone on the baseball diamond.
SirBryan: A complete trading system is in the works. It will be forced safe. I no the yelling of the scammers starts now and the tears of joy flow from those scammed.
SirBryan: Dakkon, humm are they blank?? maybe they will not be with .....
SirBryan: Leveling is a balance issue that will have to be dealt with as a whole. they will be no tweaking and making the system flip flop. It will be solid and balanced.
SirBryan: That is correct Bala, but paying a single month for 50 billion accounts is 250 billion roughly. If you have that please give me a call. We can do lunch like the president at $100,000 a plate. {grin}
SirBryan: WG I would say yes you are. when and what they look like is a closely guarded secret.
SirBryan: Lunatic, yes it did work. As we have players with it. Nice try.
SirBryan: Liol Punk it is. I will have it fixed this evening late and updated.
SirBryan: Rand, you can expect all kinds of things. Does that mean all kinds of thigns are coming. Your call.
SirBryan: Yes. Korey If I dealt in the here and now. The game would be dead. But looking down the road and planning for it. Is the way to go. And some of the things coming just set my pulse a pounding. I know it is hard to wait, but we have a good focused
SirBryan: dedicated team working on things now.
SirBryan: MECHDrain. Things happen. This is a little bug that is hard to find when you only have 5 people testing things.
SirBryan: They only show up when you have hundreds on. It is a little thing that will quickly be fixed tonight before I go to bed! My word on that!!
SirBryan: AngelBear the world is ending. the sky is falling. And I am going cross-eyed.
SirBryan: Nairbaggins, the more I am pushed to get it up when it is known that it comes up after I leave here, the more likely it will be empty when brought up. {grin}
SirBryan: Boy am I getting tired. {grin}
SirBryan: Grunk but your alignment does change with what you kill and it should.
SirBryan: Sweet Demize not good to call me names.
SirBryan: Particularily with a name like that. {grin}
SirBryan: Lol, cows?

urgh. too tired to stay up - if you check the realm forums on the main web site, someone may have scribed the rest!
