minus the deer pee

[lime owl]

good tho brings in more stelth than hack and slash

[celest maple]

I don't touch that those guys are creepy as hell sometimes

[rose cedar]

dont need pee if you have corn. lol

[faint dawn]

Awwh ilike that part.. @past vessel /jk xD

[uncut bear]

Oh this might be tmi but deer pee stinks so bad

[past vessel]

touche and LOL

IT DO. I hope Palia doesn't get too into realism for hunting lmao

[uncut bear]

Just not THAT realistic

[faint dawn]

The main market for this game are people who love animal crossing or sims... and roleplayers.. we got ALOT of roleplayers..

[past vessel]

'chuu rub - it, well it stinks. Don't ask what its made of'

[uncut bear]

What ever do you mean drinks milk

[crystal topaz]

Don't forget Stardew Valley

[past vessel]

:3c here for an mmo with rp in mind

[faint dawn]

Yeah

[cinder temple]

Yes, it will be important to wipe your hands and wash up after fishing.

[lime owl]

hope not tooo much rp can just iagen it getting flooded with the world of warcraft goldshire community and that AINT family friendly to say the least

[faint dawn]

I meant charactar testing data xD

[faint dawn]

If i see it, imma report it..

[past vessel]

Goldshire wasn't ever really a good example of rp, to me.

[lime owl]

warcraft dont do anything about it anymore

[faint dawn]

Palia will

Palia is supposed to be E rated.. there will be kids...

[past vessel]

I do hope they have an active and engaging Game moderator community for Palia (that's why I wanna pay sub lol)

[uncut bear]

Palia is a safe community

[past vessel]

pay these people

[lime owl]

yeh im hopeing i can play it with my kids i can see them really enjoying it

[static mango]

i think its going to have the same payment method as stardew/terraria/animal crossing

[past vessel]

Ooooh, baby's first MMO would be nice.

[static mango]

a one time pay but still keeps updating

[uncut bear]

💰

[static mango]

welp u were short lived

[past vessel]

That's a block. Very short lived.

[uncut bear]

[carmine relic]

Thanks mods

[uncut bear]

Hooray for mods!

[quiet silo]

petthemods

gg mods pog

[static mango]

i knew that guy would say something like that

[novel plank]

._.

[lime owl]

lets hope there as great in the game as they are here 🙂

[uncut bear]

So what’s on the schedule to talk about today?

[static mango]

well maybe he had the best speedrun ban any %

[past vessel]

lmao

And who knows, I'm excited to talk about a focus on pve and what that means with hunting - all the different professions, etc

while reading that gdoc of answers

[mild dove]

Same. Nice to have something to just engage with others and chill

[uncut bear]

Oh I’m curious if there’s more to hunt than those deer creatures.

Like will there be something like a turkey?

[carmine relic]

Don't say you wanna hurt a Chuppa/Chaapu, or else hell breaks loose

[foggy ingot]

prolly a lot more

[mild dove]

I think there was metion about being a big game hunter by the devs

[uncut bear]

I fear the consequences to much to say that

[carmine relic]

I don't!

[static mango]

ive already said im going to cook them up :D

[faint dawn]

I keep that message woth the gdoc and links to the faqs pasted somewhere to quick grab everytime people seem confused over what kind of game thisll be...

[uncut bear]

Don’t say it

[carmine relic]

I'll kill em'!

It's probably gonna be like a Bunny in Terraria. It'd be a habit to just swing at em

[uncut bear]

But no kill bunny or chapaa/chuus

[foggy ingot]

I mean, their pelt looks kinda sick

[past vessel]

They'd make good earmuffs.

or scarves :3c

[uncut bear]

Nooooo

But I can’t deny

They look soft

[foggy ingot]

it ain't personal, if they drop good stuff, ukno.. UKNO

it is what it is

[lime owl]

i hope theres an option to tame critters you could have them as housepets to do housework xD

[uncut bear]

Catch and release

[lime owl]

or comapnion to keep you company while out and about

[cinder temple]

I heard if you attack a Chapaa, it links paws with 4 others and begins to whirl around like a lethal shuriken of destruction.

[maiden nymph]

I want to feel like a disney princess, covered in chuu/chapaa

[past vessel]

I hope there's animal husbandry dfkgjhgkjshg

Raising chapaas from egg to oldie.

[foggy ingot]

sounds like garen

[celest maple]

yes raise a cute pet and wait til they are all dead

Maybe they won’t die

[cinder temple]

If you attack a baby Chapaa, you risk angering their Chapaapa and.or Chamaama.

[maiden nymph]

Gangs of Chapaa/Chuu with thumbs waiting for you to cross their backstreet, snapping in sync.

[uncut bear]

The C.R.O. (Chapaa/chuu relocation organization)

[foggy ingot]

better loot? pog pog

[cinder temple]

Chapaapa and Chamaama have the Parental Rage invulnerability buff, but you might be able to take out the Chapaa Chief or at least knock it out long enough to take its stuff.

[foggy ingot]

sounds like a challenge to me

[past vessel]

How big do you think neighborhoods (Palia's version of guilds) can be?

[uncut bear]

20

[foggy ingot]

it really depends on how guilds are designed

[uncut bear]

Maybe more

[past vessel]

I hope more, it takes a village to raise a chuu

[celest maple]

I think it depends on like, how many people are going to play the game

[uncut bear]

I honestly have no idea on size but there’s tons of speculation

[past vessel]

I do enjoy me some speculation to pass the time.

[foggy ingot]

maybe it'll be like warframe, starting at a low number then capping at a lotta players

[uncut bear]

We don’t even know exactly how the guilds/neighborhoods work

[lime owl]

i hope like eso where you can be in 5 but i hope there smaller

[foggy ingot]

being in more clans? that'd be nice

[past vessel]

I kinda hope they work like a guild hall deal where you can start off small but gather/grow more to enlarge your neighborhood/let more people in it.

[celest maple]

Imagine neighborhood wars lmao

[past vessel]

lmao

OH OH like dodgeball

[foggy ingot]

war topic? poggers

[celest maple]

Oh dude dodgeball

[maiden nymph]

I could imagine 10 to 20, since that seams well manageable for the groups.

[past vessel]

friendly game of neighborhood king of the hill

[uncut bear]

Team scavenger hunt

Or races

[past vessel]

neighborhood relay race

[lime owl]

wow great idea

[past vessel]

'catch that chapaa'

[celest maple]

One team can hide stuff in the land and the other team need to find them

[uncut bear]

Hide and seek

[celest maple]

Ideas are popping off

[foggy ingot]

place the item somewhere in your house, place a decoration over it, ez clap

[uncut bear]

Capture the flag

[past vessel]

Palia's competitive tiers are just neighborhood wars and block parties.

[lime owl]

this would be great ideas especially for marketing cos how many of us will force our friends to join to play them with us xD

[uncut bear]

Yes. I’d enjoy a cook out

[past vessel]

'who can throw the best bash'

[uncut bear]

Fishing competition

[celest maple]

Who can find the coolest stone

[foggy ingot]

if the game's gonna be free, sure

[uncut bear]

Pebble races. Who can bring einar the most pebbles

[past vessel]

YES

[celest maple]

OoOoooO

[past vessel]

Einar enjoys this game the most, I bet.

[uncut bear]

Lol

[past vessel]

the real winner

[celest maple]

Out of nowhere you just see 50 people picking rocks

[lime owl]

i do hope its like eso that it can be free to play but if you sub you get loads cool bonuses like extra bag space daily bonuses and good stuff as i think game needs so financial income to keep it progressing well

[knotty solar]

Wasen't Alpha supposed to be live by now?

[maiden nymph]

no, it was just a

[uncut bear]

[past vessel]

pre-alpha? and lmao, yes, soon ™️

[foggy ingot]

would've been great if that was the case

[knotty solar]

Hmmm... That's a shame...

[celest maple]

But hey guess what

It’s coming

[past vessel]

I'm still weeping over the number of invites going out for pre-alpha. I get it but /cry

[celest maple]

Total member count is more than 100k

[foggy ingot]

with every test they'll prolly invite more people

that's how it usually goes

[uncut bear]

I hope there’s daily quests or something similar. Like NPCs will have requests for items with different rewards

[celest maple]

yes more tests more tests

[past vessel]

Yeah, I've never gotten invites though so I'm not holding my breath. Every beta that came out for wow I held my breath and turned blue waiting.

And SAME Milk

I kinda hope there's random events?

[uncut bear]

Examples?

[past vessel]

Sorta like GW2 but without the murder/grind.

'X city is being attacked by nutterflies! Grab your net and help out!'

[celest maple]

Yes

[uncut bear]

Sounds great to me

[celest maple]

A man has fallen into the river

[past vessel]

'th-the fish seem attracted to something in the river, fish it out' everyone fishes for loads of fish and some random treasure

[celest maple]

Quick! Build a $(&)@“ to save him!

[past vessel]

YEAH

'We're going for a walk through the woods, come join us and search for the rare flower X!'

[uncut bear]

I think it’ll be more lax. Like rumors of a rare animal sighting earlier that day in X part of the world

[past vessel]

That kinda deal, just random pop up events that get me running lol

[uncut bear]

We had the same idea

[past vessel]

XD We did, rip. But I hope for that kinda stuff, just a little 15 minute event deal where the more people join, the better rewards/fun

happens maybe once a week game time wise, since 1 hour = a day in palia

[uncut bear]

So like a friendly little competition like a treasure hunt or something?

[past vessel]

Yeah, treasure hunt, co-op scavenger hunt, co-op clean up (via fishing/gathering), etc

sometimes competitive, but really, more co-op, more 'help X villager!'

without it being a quest? like half the fun is just randomly finding the event/starting it up for everyone

[uncut bear]

That’s a good idea

I like that

[past vessel]

Happen to be near Einar when he looks sad, talk to em 'my pebble collection fell into the river, I need more' you start up an event to help Einar get more pebbles where everyone can participate.

[uncut bear]

Not his pebbles!!

[past vessel]

SOMEONE BRING THIS SAD ROBOT MORE PEBBLES

that kinda deal.

[uncut bear]

🪨 🪨 🪨

Or perhaps a fetch quest for the tavern. “We’re expecting a delivery of X today but they haven’t arrived yet. Would you go check on them?”

[past vessel]

Exactly! That leads to an event to gather wood for a busted wagon wheel or something like

[carmine relic]

Can't wait to make a joke at Zeki's expense if that happens

[past vessel]

the sky is hardly the limit with palia

[uncut bear]

That is the exact idea I was thinking

[past vessel]

:3c

[uncut bear]

You can’t or he won’t serve you ale

[carmine relic]

Wizards don't even drink Ale anyway

[uncut bear]

Gasp

Perhaps

[potent estuary]

Hi!

[uncut bear]

You’re free to do what you want

Heyo!

[potent estuary]

I hope we can raise beer mug with friends.

[wispy wyvern]

Mustrum disagrees.

[uncut bear]

Tavern night with the boys

[carmine relic]

Bah!

[past vessel]

Same, toasting with friends in game would make my day.

[potent estuary]

yeah Just think you are tired after adventure or quest and you want just relax than you are raising your mug with your friend .

[tardy plume]

Still Excited!!! Can't wait!

[uncut bear]

TO PALIA!

[potent estuary]

TO PALIA!!!!

[uncut bear]

This gets me hyped

[potent estuary]

Everything gets me hyped about this game

[uncut bear]

Good point

Day 1 pre alpha release: a screenshot of a ton Of us in the tavern with drinks

[potent estuary]

:D

[faint dawn]

Make sure to put it in tester chat..

Unless you get okay from the Devs

[uncut bear]

Yeahh

[potent estuary]

:D

[uncut bear]

I really look forward to taking pictures of all the fun times

[potent estuary]

:D

[faint dawn]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/851053987356737586/852746267439792168/5cvb94.gif

[uncut bear]

But if they say no then I won’t

[faint dawn]

I look foreward to this..

[potent estuary]

[faint dawn]

Ahh yes... the spam of people asking for alpha keys.. /) o3o(\

[potent estuary]

Probably they say yes for getting hype up

[uncut bear]

We’ll see

[potent estuary]

I hope we will see

[primal quartz]

When is the game supposed to release?

[faint dawn]

in less than 3 years

[potent estuary]

[uncut bear]

[uncut bear]

Pre alpha is within a couple months

[primal quartz]

pog

[faint dawn]

I stil think that was funny someone coming here being like "Can't wait to play need something to keep me occupied till new world.."

New world full release is MUCH MUCH CLOSER THAN PRE-ALPHA MIGHT BE..

[uncut bear]

Lol

[brisk olive]

the game is supposed to release and thats the extend we've got rn lmao

[faint dawn]

I know..

[brisk olive]

this is our hype corner where we're free to be as hype as possible

[faint dawn]

I just thought it was funny that they're hoping to play palia to "Hold them over" till Aug 31st.... xD

[brisk olive]

hahahaha what a tragic wait

[faint dawn]

Some people dont expect the pre-alpha to begin till august.. xD

[brisk olive]

I need to decide if I want to check new world out or not, it just so doesn't seem like my cup of tea

[knotty crown]

Was just talking to a friend in DMs in that I'd be willing to pay B2P or P2P for this game just for proper moderation alone, to keep toxic and erp players out of the game.

actually good moderation is a service all its own.

[viscid bobcat]

I believe they said they'll be opening special discord channels for Pre-Alpha players. Unsure what they'll be used for outside of feedback.

[brisk olive]

the pre alpha is barely in my head at all rn, since the game has instantly developed a surprisingly larger community than I expected

Hey man - i'm all for monthly subscriptions in MMOs tbh

[faint dawn]

Love the enthusiasm of your friend.. but.. let's move away from Monetization...

[brisk olive]

give me a ffxiv like monthly sub, I much much prefer that over a f2p micro transaction model in MMOs

[knotty crown]

I do prefer one-time payments, no mtx, but one-time to purchase game, one-time to get exp boost for everything that's permanent, etc. no temporary stuff, just permanent stuff. I miss games doing that.

I won't pay $15 per month that's for sure tho lol

[sharp radish]

I’m liking what I’m reading here right now.

Keep it up.

[uncut bear]

I believe they’ll have channels dedicated to bugs and reports for the pre alpha but I hope they have a pre alpha players only chat so they can talk and look for groups to play with

[brisk olive]

OTP doesn't work with MMOs too well though cause they expected to work on the same game for long term and its really expensive to make games in 2021, so an OTP $60 just isn't realistic to support a game like this - I don't mean it to be negative I just don't want you to get unrealistic expectations!

[fringe minnow]

Good evening

[brisk olive]

its crazy to me how expensive it is to develop a game nowadays lmao

[tepid dirge]

It really is. Discouraging!

[uncut bear]

Evening

[knotty crown]

Look, if you price a game at $5/month, and you give me a year's worth of content, I will pay that amount for the entire year, there's your $60 game price. OR you can have me pay $60 straight, and give me a product that has a year's worth of content. It's the same price regardless. But I'm not paying $180 for one year, that's highway robbery.

[fringe minnow]

Oh no, i came at the middle of a monetization convo, pwease guys search monetization at the search bar

[cinder temple]

I don't mind BTP with micro transactions so long as the stuff being sold isn't pay-to-win. GuildWars2 does this, and they also allow you to trade in-game currency for cash shop currency - slower to save up for things, but it's nice that it's an option.

[young comet]

Will the game be free or not?

[brisk olive]

we're just discussing our opinions on monetization strategies, I hope thats allowed!

[faint dawn]

Okay yes... we get it... money money money.. but... let's move away from this topic as it can be very debated.. and the devs are NOT READY to talk about it...

[knotty crown]

so an OTP $60 just isn't realistic to support a game like this - I don't mean it to be negative I just don't want you to get unrealistic expectations!

Servers don't cost as much as people think they do for thousands of players all paying that $60. There's legit no difference between a $60 online and offline game of equal content.

[brisk olive]

yeah totally fair, if its a touchy subject we don't need to get into it

[knotty crown]

They don't have to talk, but they can listen. 🙂

[brisk olive]

I just like seeing peoples opinions because I find the conversation super interesting

[faint dawn]

bruh it's been debated like 100s of times here...

im sure they seen it and the many opinions people have..

[cinder temple]

If people remain civil, I don't see why we can't talk about it. Bear in mind this server has close to 80,000 people in it who will be coming in at different times and we're discussing a game that won't be out for several years. Repetition will happen.

[uncut bear]

To be fair. So has everything else

[brisk olive]

the good old circle of pre-pre-alpha

I'm just super interested because my understanding is that this game is really being approached with a AAA style budget, and I really like how bold this team is to try something this new at this scale

a trend i've noticed in games recently is all the really unique game designs have only been executed at the AA or indie scale since the cost of entry is so high studios aren't really willing to take the risk

[forest hare]

Hello 👋👋

[faint dawn]

hi

[brisk olive]

hi 👋

[knotty crown]

define AAA

[cinder temple]

Big Money.

[uncut bear]

Big game developers. EA, Blizard, Nintendo, etc

[brisk olive]

yeah, I have a poor definition but some of the really big expensive games that have studio backing behind them

[knotty crown]

I define AAA as pandering to getting highest possible game rating, so trying to fit into a bubble where they fulfill a checklist. Big Money is used to do that, but AAA games generally don't "experiment" even with all that money because they're afraid to.

[cinder temple]

Think Hollywood doing a thing versus Film Festival Jeff doing a thing. Jeff might be more willing to sink all his time and money into a provocative art film whereas Hollywood might play it safe and operate within whatever the boundaries of the current market are.

[knotty crown]

Palia is experimenting, tho

[fringe minnow]

It's not a taboo, and other topics do repeat themselves, but usually this ends up in people having a war debate, where people fight with arguments

[brisk olive]

yeah thats what i'm talking about though! AAA development used to be a lot more experimental but in the past decade I feel like games out of the biggest studios with the biggest budgets have become more and more formulaic over the years

[viscid bobcat]

In the video-game industry, AAA (pronounced and sometimes written Triple-A) is an informal classification used to categorise games produced and distributed by a mid-sized or major publisher, which typically have higher development and marketing budgets than other tiers of game

[dusk flume]

Hello! Just hopping in to say you are all beautiful and I am excited for this game!

[uncut bear]

We’re excited too! You’re beautiful too!

[knotty crown]

Honestly I don't want AAA games. I want games from studios like Insomniac, stuff like Spyro and Sunset Overdrive. That's the level of funding/experimentation balance I like.

Not AAA, but not really Indie either. Just experienced devs making good games.

[brisk olive]

yeah sort of in that AA territory

idk i'm just noticing as I have less and less time to spend playing games, the hyper competitive "esports" development of all games nowadays is exhausting because jumping into a lobby solo after work and just getting dumpstered isn't super fulfilling lol

[outer phoenix]

Hi everyone :)

[cinder temple]

Howdee.

[uncut bear]

Heyo 👋

[regal swallow]

Howdy!

[knotty crown]

Interestingly, this is what S4 League was all about and did well. 10-30 minute matches, you could play a few times a day, get off. Winning or losing, didn't matter, just fun wholesome pvp.

But now it's all rankings and grinding for loot boxes in games. ):

[brisk olive]

S4 league was SUCH a good game

games designed for fun rather than esports are becoming more and more rare every year

I feel like overwatch was a perfect example of a game that initially launched for it to be fun, and they slowly tweaked the game to try to make it "competitive" and just ruined it for the casual player

[knotty crown]

I was wrong, ignore the post I just deleted xD

it was eSper not eSports lol

[quick sparrow]

Hey hey! Came here to vote!

Something something "I did my part!"

[knotty crown]

vote for all 3 🙂

so we get the secret npc

[knotty crown]

S4 League actually could have been an eSports game at the S4 rank, but it wouldn't have invalidated the rest of the game.

I'm playing in a Minecraft server, getting resources to make a chaapa statue

[regal swallow]

That would be cool to see in community art!

[carmine raven]

Lol that's good to hear! I'm curious if anyone has gotten their response email yet for pre alpha signup

[knotty crown]

no

[regal swallow]

[knotty crown]

"If you have to ask, the answer is no." lol

[fringe minnow]

Iirc they'll announce on discord when they get to send the emails

[charred lake]

https://tenor.com/view/kid-bored-boring-wait-waiting-gif-5434959

[knotty crown]

or they won't, and everyone else will announce it instead

[fringe minnow]

True

[carmine raven]

Oh ok I signed up yesterday so I wasn't expecting anything yet personally, but the website said it'd only take a couple days haha

Ty for answering my question!

[outer phoenix]

Anticipating the pre alpha but also glad it's not here yet because I've had a lot to do and don't want to miss it 😅

[civic basin]

Morning Palians

[undone tartan]

Good morning.

[carmine raven]

Morning to you homie! You gotten your coffee yet?

[civic basin]

Yep that’s the first thing I grab before pants

[carmine raven]

Lmfao you have your priorities and I respect that

[cinder temple]

A heavy storm is rolling in. I'd love to see ambient weather in the game, or even places where it's always windy or raining. Would love to sit with a friend under a tree or shelter and watch it come down.

[regal swallow]

I would like to see mist in the mornings

Or fog

[civic basin]

Me too, listening to the patter of rain

[night meteor]

yeah i was getting amber warnings up in uni

[cinder temple]

Fishing in the early morning out on your boat with the whole world outside the lake invisible for a few hours.

[civic basin]

I love this especially the in the Boat and lake part. Put it in suggestion or something my dude

[regal swallow]

Yeah just you, your rowboat and the waters

[cinder temple]

I'd be very surprised if it wasn't already suggested.

[carmine raven]

All is well and peaceful until you accidentally hook the lake serpent!

[cinder temple]

Yes, then you have to give her a present to placate her.

[knotty crown]

Palia devs: "Pre-alpha keys in a few days."
A few days later: https://cdn3-www.comingsoon.net/assets/uploads/2019/02/The-Umbrella-Academy-Episode-5-Image-1.png

[civic basin]

I can see myself doing that, before work each day log in and have a relaxing fish in my boat

[wispy wyvern]

I'm a big fan of rainstorms, thunderstorms...

[carmine raven]

Tbh I hope there's some level of complexity to their fishing system! Like sea of thieves has my favorite fishing in an mmo so far

[regal swallow]

"Nessie" can get a hug

i'm going to be controversial and say that even if we're playing a human i still want elf ears

[carmine raven]

Lmfao that dude with the sword is just there like... whelp guess I die now

[knotty crown]

The hilarious thing is that originally when the game came out, the ONE way to get past the serpent was to go back to the keep and farm for an electricity weapon to electrocute it to death

then they gave players the option to skip to the next town...

https://cms.dragonfable.com/df/images/26-01-2018b.png

these things

[ocean smelt]

I remember dragonfable lmao

[uncut bear]

They talk about their fishing system and a bunch of other useful info here

https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1ECHPsDvyC0KP6ldYRaeFtmR0mhwBVGckWEPcH_zNc7E

That's a great question! I'm aware of Stardew's infamous fishing difficulty. We are aiming for a similar level of depth but with a gentler difficulty curve. You should be able to succeed at low-level fishing even if you are not good at the mechanic.
We plan on having things like time of day affect fish, yes. Can't say anything specific yet though."

[cinder temple]

He's keeping the votes down himself. Very tsundere. He doesn't wish to be an object on display.

[gritty veldt]

howdy y’all

[knotty crown]

Like Ana said, honestly if it's a good difficulty they're looking for, I really do hope they take inspiration from Asta

[ocean smelt]

hey fish

[uncut bear]

He looks like he could be a tailor. So getting to know him will probably open up for awesome cosmetics

[gritty veldt]

really freaking excited for fishingggggggggg

[uncut bear]

Fish

[knotty crown]

everyone is excited for fishing

[uncut bear]

🎣

[knotty crown]

Apparently everyone is into it now. I remember back when it was mainly just my thing in MMOs 0.0

[hardy osprey]

when i will be aproved in pre-beta ?

[outer phoenix]

i only hope i can get a nice husband in this game

[regal swallow]

We hit the 5000 mark

[gritty veldt]

wait how many people are in this server now and where can i check that myself for future reference ?

[uncut bear]

Pre alpha is

[outer phoenix]

A Lot

[carmine relic]

Everyone tends to check via the server Discovery

[cinder temple]

Back in the Before Times when games were mostly restricted to single consoles or, in some cases, proprietary consoles (like Tamagotchi for instance), I had a fishing game in a console shaped like the reel of a fishing rod with a screen embedded in it. Lord, we played that thing for years.

[gritty veldt]

eye see thank you frend

[knotty crown]

I'd like it to be like in Mabi where there are multiple different churches/temples with their own architecture for weddings.

Though I'm honestly against a marriage mechanic, but I don't mind if it's just a cosmetic thing in the game.

[carmine relic]

We got 77,952 people here so far!

[knotty crown]

Honestly, having one of those wedding areas be a beach would be nice

[gritty veldt]

you can romance and i think marry npcs

[knotty crown]

in this game?

[regal swallow]

A nice trellis or tiki hut

[gritty veldt]

yea

[knotty crown]

Florence and the Machine, baby!

[cinder temple]

See, now I just want to know what a Palian crab is going to look like. Little fists? Cat faces? Floating?

[gritty veldt]

it’s in the doc somewhere tm

[carmine relic]

People would still rather marry other players anyway

[gritty veldt]

idk why tho real people suck

[carmine relic]

Crab-like, probably

[regal swallow]

A pebble ring

[ocean smelt]

[uncut bear]

Not you

[bright forge]

THANK you for this blessed image

Also they are very throwable yes

[faint dawn]

Aphmau's content is cute.. not sure i'd watch it with much intent tho... xD

[uncut bear]

I used to watch her pixelmon iron and coal series. That’s about it though

Back when she was “challenge accepted”

[cinder temple]

Be sure to subscribe to Einar's channel Rock Talk where he shows you the pebbles he's gathered lately.

[knotty crown]

I honestly didn't like that one

[faint dawn]

It's like watching Roblox content creators.. who and it's like ":OOOO GASPING SOUND SHINEY THING!!!!" and i sit there getting second hand embaressment.. xD

[frank warren]

a man of culture i must say it

[uncut bear]

But of course. I’m from a more civilized age

[knotty crown]

also "racing". we don't race up mountains, we jump up them by exploiting objects improperly matched to their textures

[cinder temple]

Of course we race! We see who can get up there first for no reward whatsoever but the view.

[frank warren]

where is your elegant weapon for a more civilized age ?

[uncut bear]

Bragging rights

[gritty veldt]

god i don’t even know what i’ll do first in game ,,, maybe cry from excitement ?? build me hut?? ? FISH????

[knotty crown]

You completely missed by point lol

[uncut bear]

Definitely fish

[regal swallow]

Greet people!

[gritty veldt]

ignore whatever set up stuff they want me to do and just follow einar around

[knotty crown]

I'm going to find a way to break off the edge of the map and this time high level mobs can't stop me lol

[cinder temple]

Cry so hard you create a lake which you can then build a house next to and fish in. 👌

[languid sun]

Don't worry... This will be the last time

[uncut bear]

Anyways I’m totally down to set up a race around the entire palia world.

[bright forge]

I hope we hit 8k votes. I wish we get another character so bad.

[regal swallow]

I was thinking a lake race of rowboats!

[frank warren]

im wondering

[gritty veldt]

what if you fall of the edge ? does that mean you’ve won?

[frank warren]

will the game have marriage ?

[uncut bear]

That would be a DNF but sure

[uncut bear]

I think so. It’s int the google doc

[knotty crown]

rowboats official race confirmed

[knotty crown]

auto-glider, sorry

but if I glide off the edge it means I managed to break the game border so yes I win

[regal swallow]

Glider adventure!

[gritty veldt]

i mean like the edge edge, since i would assume palia is flat just like earth

also the heck is a dnf

[knotty crown]

the real test will be to see if they let me fall endlessly through the void or actually teleport me back somehow

[uncut bear]

Did not finish

[frank warren]

well

[knotty crown]

ArcheAge did the latter. Only part of that game that actually impressed me

[mystic gale]

Happy Sunday and Happy Father's Day, fellow Palians. I hope all the fathers in the crowd have an especially good one.

[frank warren]

i hope to make new friends around here :3

[paper creek]

where is father's day today? : o

[mystic gale]

In the US, sorry

[night meteor]

its fathers day here in england

[pallid marsh]

Father’s Day in the UK too.

[paper creek]

nice, so happy father's day : )

let your dads know you love them

[gritty veldt]

heres some direct quotes if youre interested"We'll have relationships and romance, things like spouses and children could come later
Romance will be only between players and npc(gender doesn’t matter). Currently no player to player romance but they are looking into it (It was mentioned in one of the house sharing related questions)"

[night meteor]

got mine some nice IPAs 🙂

[uncut bear]

Einar optional for romance???

[mystic gale]

Nope

[uncut bear]

🪨 🪨 🪨

[knotty crown]

So no Florence and the Machine? Sad

[frank warren]

oooooh

that sounds cool

[knotty crown]

.... I just realized that when I read that I was actually doing a pouty lip 😮

[frank warren]

the question was more about player to player

nor that i have someone to marry in game

but it was a question XD

[gritty veldt]

love florence ❤️

[uncut bear]

It’s a good question

[cinder temple]

You'll be able to show your love and appreciation for other players by bringing them useless items and leaving them at their doorstep.

[knotty crown]

i'll marry u lily ^^ but i want an open relationship...

[uncut bear]

Hopefully one that will be answered

[gritty veldt]

theres always space and time for florence and the machine

[knotty crown]

if we can't marry multiple ppl ima riot lol

[cinder compass]

Oh I'm absolutely going going give my friends random stuff

[knotty crown]

i luv u

Would you like a live chicken, a mantis in a jar, or three acorns left on your front stoop?

[knotty crown]

[frank warren]

can we have a house ?

[south nimbus]

howdy

[cinder temple]

The Return™️. Hello!

[south nimbus]

rocks

[knotty crown]

will shared housing even be a thing?

[mystic gale]

They're looking into it.

[south nimbus]

yessir haha

[faint dawn]

They're looking into it with caution

[uncut bear]

I would say cows milk but cows not confirmed yet

[knotty crown]

"No, we can't have the same house, but we can have a reserved table at the bar just for the two of us." lol

[cinder temple]

Shared anything can be tricky because the moment one person decides 'I don't like that' there immediately becomes a weird custody issue.

[bright forge]

Guys remember to #📮│public-polls we need 3k more votes to reveal bonus character! PS. sorry for repeating this message everywhere.

[knotty crown]

don't worry tho lily, we'll have a lily garden

[cinder temple]

Ah, but Yakmoo.

[gritty veldt]

i need an i voted sticker

[frank warren]

okay :3

[paper creek]

voted just now : D

[faint dawn]

Cooperative housing is a huge goal for us
There's no terraforming but the customization options for your plot will get very interesting
The house from the trailer is just scratching the surface of what you can do really.
Land Share? In the alpha this won't be possible, no. You can visit a friend's plot and help them build their building though.

[knotty crown]

did u get the joke, please tell me yes

[frank warren]

i did XD

[knotty crown]

cool xD

[uncut bear]

Yakmoo?

[frank warren]

(im used to that joke XD) tho its very lovely

[night meteor]

i wonder what sort of crops we will be able to farm and what itll be like

[gritty veldt]

only potatoes

[night meteor]

mmm taters

boil em mash em stick em in a stew

[knotty crown]

Land Share? In the alpha this won't be possible, no. You can visit a friend's plot and help them build their building though.

4 people: 5 days until roof complete
3 people: 2 weeks
2 people: 3 months
1 person: 4 years

Mhm, yeah devs, I see how this'll work

[uncut bear]

PO-TAT-OES

[night meteor]

4 YEARS?

[knotty crown]

The joke I'm used to is people posting Goblin Slayer all the time. I'd prefer your joke xD

[gritty veldt]

impossible bc theyre immortal

[blazing kelp]

they are innocent souls.

[uncut bear]

The thought of that being possible worries me

[cinder temple]

If that were true, then we probably wouldn't get to have Chapups. You do want Chapups, don't you?

[gritty veldt]

idk it depends on where they fall on the vermin scale,,, if they are like raccoons or oppossums then ok but any further than that well

[magic lance]

Ghost Chapaa's are believed to be rather mischievous.
Doing acts that cause minor inconveniences.
For Example:- Removing a sock from the laundry, moving tables and chairs so to catch you toe's as you pass and pulling belt loops so that they catch on door handles.

[gritty veldt]

yeah but you dont know where that is,, im off the grid, baby

[regal swallow]

Let me just write that in the storybook

[cinder temple]

Ghost Chapaa eat the spirits of failed crops and whatever food has gone bad in your fridge.

[gritty veldt]

ive heard of way too many people who have broken toes from stubbing them to believe that is a mino inconvenience lol

Apparently most people break their pinky toe 2 to 3 time a year and don't even notice

[molten path]

Hey, Eligius

[gritty veldt]

i am actually terrified steve

[cinder temple]

Less, probably, if you factor in the people who gave throwaway e-mails or fail to check the alpha mail they get. Unless, of course, they send out more than 1,400 but only allow 1,400 to test at a time.

[somber kraken]

Non stop sadface GIFs

[summer obsidian]

yep, and I'll be here for all those in anguish with me...since the chances of getting it is so slim

[gritty veldt]

i would recommend maybe increasing the slowmode time when the emails get sent out

if that hasnt been brought up yet

[south nimbus]

oh hi once again!

[void imp]

i don't want to imagine but i hope you'll get extra staff for that day or something. or emotional support lined up for the devs and mods. not a threat, i'm just afraid.

[molten path]

Oof, I can imagine the chaos

[cinder temple]

Personally, I'd like to get selected, but I'll still be happy if I don't because I'll know that someone got the invite and it'll mean the game is being refined regardless of who is testing.

[magic lance]

good chance if they are going the stress test the servers that they will add more keys at a later date.

[gritty veldt]

actually imma put that in server suggestions bc i dont want to go blind lol

The concept of "Soon" is too ambiguous :) Weeks or years may pass

see jnarbles estimate, thats the best we got

It’s just a joke in the server.

I just hope Palia is a great game tbh

[hot pewter]

with grand theft auto VI*

[south nimbus]

I really wanna play the pre-alpha

[cyan basin]

I saw what you did there peers suspiciously

[cinder temple]

So long as Palia's got the basics (fishing, house building, nature wandering), I think it'll be everything I'd need. The rest would just be icing on the proverbial MMO cake.

[cyan basin]

Keep in mind, 100,000 alpha sign ups (conservative guess) and 1400 testing slots for the first round

[uncut bear]

Have hope!

[cyan basin]

have hope, but don't be pissed if it doesn't happen for you

[cinder temple]

We'll all win in the end when Palia is playtested and ready for release, whether we jump in during the pre-alpha, alpha, and beta lotteries or on launch day.

[south nimbus]

hehe you got me there ;)

[uncut bear]

Good point

[regal swallow]

Yeah!! Lots of my Pals around ready for adventure!

[cinder temple]

Shrew, are you going to build a house or just stay in someone's mailbox?

[molten path]

Just over a 1% chance. However, we have no real idea how the key distribution will be biased.

[cyan basin]

I have seen people rage quit when they didn't get into testing, and then spend the next year badmouthing the game because of their hurt feelings. So, hope for the best but don't be disappointed, the number of slots for the first round is really low

[languid sun]

They took note of everyone who never asked about monetization

[regal swallow]

I'm Shrew the Storyteller I'm going to wander and explore.

[cyan basin]

they didn't expect this much attention

[cinder temple]

Steve's name is green. Green like dollars. Reaches for tinfoil hat

[cyan basin]

lol, that leaves me out, I talked about the pros and cons of each modern monitization system the first week

[languid sun]

I remember xD

[cyan basin]

lol

[molten path]

Its my understanding that most early pre-alpha rounds don't last very long just because the amount of improvements that are made to the game during that time

[crystal topaz]

But did they take note to know who to include or to exclude...

[cyan basin]

facepalm I just realized, green is mods, I was trying to figure out your role and pronouns

[cinder temple]

Gender: Chat Moderator

[cyan basin]

Pronoun, Mod

or 'your majesty' works too

[crystal topaz]

lol

[languid sun]

yes

[cyan basin]

actually, that would be devs, 'your honor' for mods

[cinder temple]

The Modarch instead of the monach?

[cyan basin]

LOL

[cinder temple]

That's probably not something that's going to be shared with us. Much better to let people assume it was random than to set up worries that players said or did something wrong if they weren't selected.

[cyan basin]

Anyone know how many people signed up for this server? Last time I asked it was 80k

[wooden rose]

hey guys, any news?

[cyan basin]

nope

nothing new, at least

[cinder temple]

The villager vote has more votes than it did yesterday.

[wooden rose]

[celest maple]

hi

[crystal topaz]

We are one day closer to pre-alpha.

[cyan basin]

my vote is not winning

[wooden rose]

except we don't know when it is

[uncut bear]

The only news is that we need 3k more votes in #📮│public-polls if we’re gonna get a surprise

[cinder temple]

But they know you voted for them and are very touched and glad they are in silhouette so you can't see them blushing.

[crystal topaz]

You're saying you only voted for one???

Gotta do your part and vote for all three!

[cyan basin]

I thought you could only vote for one! One person, one vote!

sorry, been reading sci fi with that as a core concept, lol

[cinder temple]

No worries, I figured the same. One user, one voice.

[crystal topaz]

My excuse is that I want to see them all.

[potent estuary]

Yeah but They need things like that for keep hype up

[cyan basin]

we will, it gives us something to speculate on while waiting

after the npcs will be animals, then fish, then plants, or maybe plants then fish

[potent estuary]

:D

[uncut bear]

Lol

[crystal topaz]

Oh, I don't mean now. Just, I don't really have much of a preference for who is revealed first.

[potent estuary]

pls no

[cinder temple]

I could see subsequent reveals be things like a choice between a revealed cooking recipe, a decoration, or a pet. Each week people would vote for which of those they'd want to see and there'd be such a big pool of them that it'd fill a lot of time.

[cyan basin]

but vote anyway, Zaldir!

[potent estuary]

Can we build Alliance Inn or something

[cyan basin]

that name seems familiar

[crystal topaz]

That's what I've done! All three! 😛

[cyan basin]

lol

Zaldir, did you get your name from a character in a book?

[crystal topaz]

Nope

Thinking of Haldir?

[cyan basin]

hmmmm, my brain

[cinder temple]

Your brain might be trying to see Zelda.

[potent estuary]

I want hangout with my friends in Allience Inn or something like that.

[cyan basin]

lol, never played it

[potent estuary]

Zelda was Princess's name

[uncut bear]

Let’s build a tavern

[potent estuary]

Hell yeah

[cyan basin]

I'll be a customer in your tavern

[potent estuary]

:D

[molten path]

Sounds like a name from the Stormlight Archive

[uncut bear]

We need a name for the tavern

[cinder temple]

I look forward to all the player homes that get creative with decorations, like using fishtanks to make a bar counter, etc.

[uncut bear]

Something chill

[potent estuary]

Hmm....

[crystal topaz]

I've been Zaldir since the beta of World of Warcraft. 😄

[cyan basin]

Puking Porcupine has been my go-to for tavern names since the late 70's when I started playing D&D

[gritty veldt]

how charming lol

[cinder temple]

Pebbledrop Pint?

[cyan basin]

Ohhh, I like that name

[potent estuary]

I can't find good name. You?

[uncut bear]

Silver Lotus was my dnd tavern name

[potent estuary]

Hmm

[uncut bear]

Let’s not do my dnd name. It’s gotta be NEW

[cyan basin]

Silver Lotus sounds like it was from the 'good' side of town, lol

[potent estuary]

Silver Chapaa?

[cyan basin]

people will ask if you serve chapaa stew

[uncut bear]

Lol it had a underground connection called wilted lotus

[gritty veldt]

sounds like it’s got money, whether it’s good or bad idk

[potent estuary]

We should we do ıf someone name his tavern golden chapaa*

[molten path]

I propose Dirtbags. But, I'm biased cause that's the name of a bar by my university

[cyan basin]

Chapaa Burrow

[wispy wyvern]

The Gloaming Inn

[cyan basin]

I like Pebbledrop Pint, myself

[wispy wyvern]

The Welcome Inn

Tavern & Shirley

[potent estuary]

Chapaakabra!!! It is very good name i think

[cyan basin]

Jugs Be Yourself Tavern

[cinder temple]

Thanks; I was just thinking about how lush and green and quaint Palia looks. Very dirt-under-the-nails kind of feel.

[gritty veldt]

i also like pebbledrop pint, it’s got a homely ring to it and also aliteration

[wispy wyvern]

Cheers.
No wait that ones taken..

[uncut bear]

I also like pebbledrop pint

[magic lance]

Chapaa's Champagne Emporium

[cyan basin]

It is also a call back to Einar, and anything that references Einar is good

[potent estuary]

I want Chapaakabra.

Ohhh If we can name our drinks . Can we name one " Chapaakabra" pls

[uncut bear]

That sounds like a type of drink. Like fireball whiskey or something

[uncut bear]

YES

[potent estuary]

yeah that's what i think

[cyan basin]

special drink filtered through a cloth made exclusively of chapaa whiskers

[uncut bear]

You mind if we name it pebbledrop pint?

[wispy wyvern]

Ew.

[cyan basin]

CLEANED!

[cinder temple]

Knock yourself out, I love brainstorming with people.

[potent estuary]

Can we steal your epic name pls?

[cyan basin]

woven like a basket

[potent estuary]

Thanks

[uncut bear]

Ok thanks! Who does what here?

[regal swallow]

chapaa trophy made out of pebbles in the house

[cyan basin]

raises hand I'm a barfly!

[wispy wyvern]

I feel like the chapaa drink needs Kiwi fruit as a garnish

[potent estuary]

Welcome Grandopening to first Tavern in the game "Pebbledrop Pint"

I hope we can make flyers

[cinder temple]

What do you think, situated between a river and a traveler's road? Maybe called "Pebbledrop" for the local custom of tossing a pebble into the river for good luck/wishes?

[void imp]

lets not forget the black boar inn

[cyan basin]

If you can't actually run a tavern (at least at first) then you can set up your house as one

we can all petition to have 'community buildings' in our neighborhoods to RP with

[uncut bear]

Oh I believe some people were talking about being bards. We need some in the tavern

[potent estuary]

I don't know

[cyan basin]

even if they are blank, empty buildings that the neighborhood decorates

[potent estuary]

My singing is awful

[regal swallow]

The Black Boar Inn is where I frequented for my first ever story!

[potent estuary]

Maybe we build near of river which in the city ? (If there is river in the city.) 🍮

[uncut bear]

I’m fine with being the bartender but I’ll only pass out milk… so maybe someone else

[potent estuary]

I can be Waiter or Cook.

[uncut bear]

That’s right! We cook

[cinder temple]

Yak Shack, a Yakmoo-themed milkshake and cookie shop. You'd be the proprietor of course.

[uncut bear]

I will gladly fund this

[potent estuary]

:D

[magic lance]

An NPC that tells you what resources are required to construct and upgrade a community building.
Would be a cool mechanic.

[potent estuary]

Can we be partners for Taverns?

I hope we can

[cyan basin]

Yeah, Mintie, neighborhoods are this game's version of guilds, so having group hangouts is important. Having 'out in the world' choices is important too, but should have many options to appeal to the highest number of people

[cinder temple]

Like a community vote to decide which features get added to a space, to reduce people fighting over deco privs.

[potent estuary]

@uncut bear Will you be my partner for Tavern bro?

If we can build one.

[cyan basin]

controlled by the guild leader

[uncut bear]

Of course bro anything for you

[potent estuary]

:D

[vague jackal]

Will there be rum in the Tavern? Lol

[potent estuary]

If you have money . YES

[uncut bear]

But of course!

[cinder temple]

There'll be crum, a drink distilled from fresh chocolate chip cookies. You know, to go with the tavern milk.

[uncut bear]

Free drinks every Friday night from 9-12pm

[vague jackal]

Good then I will he there evert evening

@cinder temple Haha that actually sounds amazing

[potent estuary]

We should hire him or he will be rival for us.

[uncut bear]

Of course you could always order the signature pebble pint ™️. Which is just a pint full of pebbles

[magic lance]

Now we just need a Dancing troop that visits taverns

[potent estuary]

:D

[vague jackal]

@uncut bear Hahhaa

[uncut bear]

He’s not a rival but a business partner.

[cinder temple]

Chilled pebbles served instead of ice in drinks.

[potent estuary]

Nice

[cyan basin]

This whole conversation reminds me of my time in Star Wars Galaxies, 5 years as a cantina dancer (that's how you got combat buffs in the game) and many, many nights as bartender for various player events

[uncut bear]

Simuel is the owner of the yak shack

[vague jackal]

Let's not forget sugary rainbow bites, that go well with marshberry cider

[mystic gale]

I still wish I'd played SWG

[cinder temple]

I'm known to weave a wide web. It's possible that even a faction of the Chapaa are under my employ.

[cyan basin]

You can, I recommend the Legends rogue server, but any other discussion should be in PMs so we don't get anyone in trouble, lol

[uncut bear]

[cyan basin]

I will tend to ramble for hours about it

[potent estuary]

Can we have signature food called " As usual" ? I think it is very good name for signature food.

[vague jackal]

Sounds cool

[cinder temple]

Whatever 'The Special' is on the menu should actually just be an incredibly mundane thing like a slice of buttered toast.

[cyan basin]

One of my favorite things was a menu that had an item named 'My girlfriend's not really hungry' and they doubled your french fries and you got a dessert

[uncut bear]

Yeahh I’ve seen that

It’s a wonderful idea honestly

[mystic gale]

Haha

[potent estuary]

:DDDDD

[novel plank]

Finally back at home so I can peacefully grind some genshin and valorant and FFXIV :')

[void imp]

@regal swallow https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/675157569433501697/856278477829177374/PicsArt_06-20-11.04.45.jpg

[potent estuary]

Is FFXIV Final Fantasy right?

[novel plank]

yes

[mystic gale]

Been working on my alt! Up to 18

[novel plank]

I found my old DS lite with my first ever nintendo game I ever played... Which was called Final Fantasy: Ring of Fates :)))

[regal swallow]

It's a cute mailbox house

[potent estuary]

In my country Nintendo isn't famous like Sony or Xbox.

[undone tartan]

That's a bit weird to me- Nintendo was the video game company for decades in the US and Japan.

[mystic gale]

Some countries they didn't market a lot in

[potent estuary]

Yes

[cyan basin]

Dammit! I want cinnamon rolls

[crystal topaz]

mmmmm

[cyan basin]

real life AND in game

[south nimbus]

That is gonna be me yes

[cinder temple]

That's me in the corner. That's me in the mail box. Raising some suspicion. 🎶

[potent estuary]

Is it dessert?

[cyan basin]

cinnamon rolls are an any time food!

lol

[cinder temple]

Sarah, sitting up at precisely 3:15 in the morning: It's time.

[cyan basin]

I was never one of the 'I'm not really hungry' types

[potent estuary]

Yeah you can eat dessert when you want it.

[cyan basin]

peers suspiciously Simuel, have you been peeking in my kitchen window?

[crystal topaz]

I'll take a muffin any time of the day.

[cinder temple]

No one has ever provided evidence that I'm in the walls.

[potent estuary]

I'm so lucky about dessert my Country have so much dessert.

[cyan basin]

If you are, my cats would know

[jaunty badger]

Cinnamon is delicious with Sweet Rice

[potent estuary]

I'm using Cinnamon for Cold Fruit Juice

[cyan basin]

pinch of cinnamon in hot chocolate

just a pinch

[potent estuary]

You have taste .

[south nimbus]

Great, I'm hungry now

[potent estuary]

Like i said before i'm always hungry

[south nimbus]

What a mood

That's why I wanna cook in Palia

[potent estuary]

:)

[jaunty badger]

Look it up: Arroz Doce

I mean, its great

[south nimbus]

Wait, where are you from?

[celest maple]

I do whipped cream ontop of the hot coco w/ cinnamon on the cream !

[jaunty badger]

Brasil-sil-sil

[south nimbus]

Oh that's cool haha

[cyan basin]

Ugh, I was trying to copy/paste the 'submit your question' channel, but discord only lets you do a certain amount

[south nimbus]

Oh, too bad :(

[potent estuary]

:(

[rain crescent]

Remember to vote at #📮│public-polls we need only 3,000 more

(Compared to 78,000 following the channel)

[cyan basin]

had to do it in 4 sections, next time I'll do it as people ask, lol

"How many people asked about monitization" ... "How many people asked really, stupid and\or trolling questions"

"How many people are asking things that are on the FAQ"

I'm bored

I also have sympathy for whomever ends up having to go through all the questions

[pulsar tulip]

Hello kings and queens
Happy Father's day from the 🇺🇸

[south nimbus]

what

[celest maple]

Fathers' day isn't until the 14th of November in Sweden :o

[south nimbus]

[regal swallow]

Everyday is a Happy Pal day to me

[carmine relic]

5,233 so far

[cyan basin]

3rd sunday in june for USA

Mother's day is 2nd sunday in May

[frank warren]

hi

[south eagle]

hey have the closed beta ended already

[mystic gale]

The pre-alpha hasn't even happened yet

[south eagle]

oh ok thank you

[uncut bear]

[cyan basin]

Don't worry, you are not the only one asking

[abstract dirge]

Yo

Merlinzz is here

[cyan basin]

I wonder if they will have weather extremes at times, like a really bad winter storm that blows through, and afterwards we would donate supplies to repair NPC buildings and such

[mystic gale]

That would be really cool

[cyan basin]

summer heat wave that encourages us to put water on our doorstops for the Chapaa

[onyx raptor]

what are you guys go to game while waiting for Palia?

[cyan basin]

Guild Wars 2 Dragon Bash starts tuesday

[south eagle]

[south nimbus]
