stop ur gonna make eris have a heart attack

[bright forge]

I only hope Palia will not get over-hyped.

[keen latch]

I doubt it will beat wow, 40 mill is a bit wild

[whole geode]

The other day I tried to make a chemistry joke, but got no reaction.

[marble hedge]

Hell, think how many people played Farmville. Now throw it into an MMO. And that's just 1 skill

[celest maple]

yeah beating wow is...

[wintry wasp]

That's probably part of why NDAs on tests. Content creators really drive hype up when things can change overnight during development.

[patent dust]

ok that pot pie was the best thing ive ever eaten

[celest maple]

wows been up for decades now

[marble hedge]

Palia should take a different direction for content creators. Sponsor a half dozen to exclusively stream Palia for a year.

[bright forge]

I mean at some point no matter how game good is is not that good as everyone expected because of hype

[serene stratus]

I joined officially on June 8th

[marble hedge]

Hype killed Cyberpunk...

[serene stratus]

8️⃣ 🙌

[bright forge]

Hype and some other factors...

[patent dust]

hype, rediculous timeframe...

[wintry wasp]

WoW's on it's way out and it's as I said back when MMOs were coming out all trying to be a "WoW killer" or "Be the next WoW"... I always said only WoW will be the only WoW killer. And we're seeing it happen.

[marble hedge]

Well that's just it. The game was so hyped, the company felt that had to release to capitalize. Same thing happened with No Man's Sky

[celest maple]

meh personally think its unhealthy, what happens after that sponsorship ends and all the viewers see that their fav content creator isnt playing it anymore? if a game is good, a scheme like that wouldnt be good. maybe short term to get attention

[ornate bobcat]

Never seen an MMO with such a concept, really hyped it succeeds

[marble hedge]

WoW isn't killing WoW. Act/Bliz killed WoW.

[bright forge]

Biggest WoW killer is WoW itself

[serene stratus]

No man's sky is an amazing game 😁

[wintry wasp]

Also might be the fact that they literally didn't actually show off the game before release...

[serene stratus]

And they have a wonderful game community on Reddit

[wintry wasp]

And nah. Ion is the game director and he's literally driven WoW off a cliff in terms of game direction and design.

Act/Blizz and the bad stuff coming out only added to the mass exodus speed.

[marble hedge]

Every streamer changes games. At least all the high-profile ones. This would at least guarantee a solid year of exclusivity

[whole geode]

If you folks need an Ark.... I Noah guy!

[serene stratus]

I'd go on, but should stick to

[bright forge]

That's why I like that we have no release date for Palia. You can't break promise when you don't make one.

[marble hedge]

I will admit... I stopped playing after BfA.... Shadowlands looked horrible

[serene stratus]

In Palia chat 😁

[wintry wasp]

And steamers following the popular releases is why I can confidently call certain games "flavor of the month" because the SECOND the big content creators drop the game, so does way too many people.

[celest maple]

sure and thats why long term i dont think its good. a whole year is too much to bind a streamer (especially high profile ones) not to mention the cost. and for what? what you need is a good game, marketting schemes to bring them in but the content is what should make them stay. that being said marketing should still happen throughout but not at the level of reserving high profile streamers for a whole year

[wintry wasp]

I just really hope none of the big names with toxic followings play Palia... Or the game moderation will be stressed right out.

[patent dust]

no mans sky is good now

[marble hedge]

Sponsor a new streamer. Or if you want to go way out there... give them a job at S6 as a streamer.

[whole geode]

At my age - too many games - not enough time. 😦

[bright forge]

Even if, they will see you can't have fun in their way and go away and we will stay.

[wintry wasp]

Correct. I need to make space on my C and reinstall it. Specifically C because I want to play it in VR and it doesn't work on other drives.

[wintry wasp]

That's because we're already here. I more point at Asmongold related incidents in EVERY MMO HE PLAYS. Toxic people follow him (and other big names) and really give their fans a bad name.

[serene stratus]

📧 ❓

[celest maple]

📧 ❌

[serene stratus]

😭

[bright forge]

Toxic people are everywhere something popular is happening. tbh I found out about Palia by watching Asmongold video.

[serene stratus]

I don't remember how I originally found it. YouTube might have suggested it to me?

[wintry wasp]

It's true, but the bigger a fan base, the more toxic you'll find. Markiplier's fandom is both the nicest and the worst at the same time.

I found someone talking about it on TikTok, and again a couple weeks later I came to the Discord.

[celest maple]

yee keeping community healthy is rly the goal, maintaining it. im toxic but if i see everyone being nice im not gonna start stuff

[flint igloo]

I hope this fanbase stays nice. It’s one of the things that makes me want to play

[remote latch]

yaaaay .... I'm safe from the NDA ... theories galore in my future 🙂 Unless of course there is one more email cycle to go

[bright forge]

I have seen growth of DnD and bigger means also more toxic people sadly.

[viral lotus]

dam was i reading palia chat or other games

[serene stratus]

"You've watched 42,000 videos on Animal crossing, Minecraft, and Stardew valley, you'll enjoy this!" 😂

[celest maple]

aw same, im sure youll get it next time

[surreal crest]

well then, I'm off to bed. Good try everyone! we'll get in next time.

[remote latch]

more of us will .. and it will be bettttter 🙂

[flint igloo]

Actually came back on hoping to see you got in

[bright forge]

I mean here we have unique mindset and typical toxic stuff that is normal in other games is big no no here.

[cold mesa]

Hugs and love 💕

[marble hedge]

There's no game here yet. Wait til there's a game to say that.

[wintry wasp]

Yeah. Like if I see people bullying specific people here ever, I might edited due to violent content! 😄

[jolly cedar]

I think there's one more, business hours often end at 5pm

[remote latch]

I just have to get my brother to check the email server when he next gets on his computer in case it got blacklisted or greylisted

[celest maple]

i doubt theyre gonna send invites right before ending their day

but anythings posible 😟

[bright forge]

I mean I speak about this place because yes I have no clue how game will go but I have hope.

[jolly cedar]

Idk, it said they'd get sent until eod so

[flint igloo]

Thinking devs end their day at a normal hour …

[serene stratus]

My inbox had something that started with a P, I got excited. It was from Purple 😞

[patent dust]

they said until EOD, so it makes sense

[celest maple]

lmfao true

[marble hedge]

Lots of people won't check their email til well after the day has ended, sending them at the end won't matter

[jolly cedar]

Until end of day makes sense it's until 5pm

[remote latch]

Back to

I was going by Amelias post rofl ..

[jolly cedar]

Man I wish they could just say emails are being sent from x:xx to x:xx

[keen latch]

Yeaaaa, no email for me, it is how it is

[jolly cedar]

It would save so much time lmao

[marble hedge]

I would say , don't assume them emails have stopped until Amelia says they have stopped

[clear brook]

Heeey, I think my alpha code got lost in the mail, can you send me a new one devs? :);)

[celest maple]

ye same i accidentally deleted the email can i get reinvite

[remote latch]

maybe you should change your number and name 🙂

[keen latch]

Oh is it not past 5 there yet

[marble hedge]

4:15....

[keen latch]

There is time!

[bright forge]

I mean have you guys noticed we don't swear (most of folks) here? Even if I do it somewhere else I don't do it here. There is no rule that say you can't swear here also.

[keen latch]

MANIFESTINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG

[viral lotus]

yeah im from Australia my chance of getting an email is less than .01

[jolly cedar]

But from what I heard, they announced when the last emails were sent for the pre alpha and amelias status said she'd return at 4:30 so it makes sense she'd announce the last emails at 5pm ish I'd think.

[remote latch]

And I thank you for that 🙂

[clear brook]

Heh I got buzzard luck, I wouldn't get an invite if my name was the only one in the hat. Thus the 13 😉

[flint igloo]

My name is (looks to those that have alpha status already) and I accidentally deleted the invite. Can you resend to this new email?

[wheat tundra]

Yeah, we don't f*ck around with swearing here.

[bright forge]

No problem

[jolly cedar]

language

[wheat tundra]

(That was the joke)

[marble hedge]

There are minors in the channel....

[keen latch]

Ill swear some times, but not often

[whole geode]

Yeah - protect me

[jolly cedar]

I know xD I was referencing earlier in when someone swore and someone said language in reply

[wheat tundra]

Bruh

[jolly cedar]

But from what I heard, they announced when the last emails were sent for the pre alpha and amelias status said she'd return at 4:30 so it makes sense she'd announce the last emails at 5pm ish I'd think.

[bright forge]

I love you guys

[clear brook]

Language!

[celest maple]

Language!

[jolly cedar]

I reckon we got another round, I'm 90% sure

[bright forge]

[remote latch]

rofl hacker

[jolly cedar]

Language!

[remote latch]

rofl hacker ( in German )

[celest maple]

just messing with ya

[bright forge]

[stiff fractal]

W-w-will an invite show up at the very last minute...?!!?

[jolly cedar]

Yes

[wheat tundra]

Wonder if instead of "Sailor Mouth" you could report someone for "Builder/Engineer Mouth" in-game lol

[stiff fractal]

clutches onto that final beacon of hope

[clear brook]

I legit didn't know the invites were going out today, I was just being funny.

[stiff fractal]

it been going out for a few days lol

[jolly cedar]

😂

[clear brook]

Oh good, I don't feel like such an idiot, though maybe I should.

[jolly cedar]

13

[clear brook]

Last alpha I got into was City of Heroes, I loved that game.

[wheat tundra]

Last alpha I got was by editing the opacity of a picture on Photoshop.

Aight imma head out.

[clear brook]

G'night

[wintry wasp]

Only if it's directed AT people. No harm in foul language when not used in hostile ways. 😄

[remote latch]

I just use the filter system ... easy 🙂

[clear brook]

Just use Yosemite Sam or Popeye curses. Consarnit you long neck galloot.

[jolly cedar]

[remote latch]

my swearing is .. beeep beeep beeep .. if I'm really mad .. otherwise it's grrr damnit

[clear brook]

Don't hate 😉

[wheat tundra]

I mean instead of "Report for language", the option would be "Report for Builder Mouth"

[ocean stone]

Wot in tarnation

[clear brook]

Heading off to bed, good luck y'all with actual luck. Hope to see you in alpha, but if I don't know I'll be shaking my fist at you like a little old man that can't catch the dern kids biking across his lawn.

[clear brook]

I AM GROOT!!!!

[remote latch]

I am Groot 🙂

[marble hedge]

I am Einar

[jolly cedar]

1️⃣ 4️⃣

[weary karma]

moop

[frosty steppe]

I think that's 6 hours

[warped patio]

Have all the invite emails been sent for today or are more on the way?

[civic axle]

nah, all sent

[warped patio]

[jolly cedar]

Not true

[civic axle]

"up to 6 hours" 6 hours ago

[jolly cedar]

Amelias status said earlier they'd be sent until the end of the day, which is at 5pm in business hours

That us 25 minutes away, plus last time they made an announcement when the last emails had been sent out

[civic axle]

i think ur too hopeful

[whole geode]

I'm sure there will be an "official" comment stating when it's all over for this stage.

[jolly cedar]

I'm just saying don't count your chickens before they've hatched

[celest maple]

well... yall might be taking it a bit too literal 😟

but yeah hopefully theres still some left :]

[whole geode]

I'm watching the "typing" line... hoping for a comment before bed.

[celest maple]

amelia probably responding to 100+ dms

[jolly cedar]

I just don't see any reason to believe getting an email is impossible until it has been stated that emails are done

[remote latch]

only 100 ?

[whole geode]

I got a "lol" face on my dm for the twitter post I sent. 🙂

[celest maple]

wasa gonan say 1000 but felt bad

[warped fjord]

My hopes are fading 😭😭😭

[civic axle]

cuz they said they'd be done by now :)

[jolly cedar]

Call me an optimist but I'd rather have faith then go to bed sad

[jolly cedar]

I believe that means up to 6 hours after the emails have been sent and they don't send them all at once to avoid spam filters

[celest maple]

wouldnt it be nicer if u thought they were done with invites and then noticed they sent one afterwards versus holding out and not getting one

[civic axle]

yeah but they also said by whenever they posted they sent them all so up to 6 hours was 6 after that message

[jolly cedar]

It could actually translate to emails getting sent out every hour but after the emails have been sent out give it at max 6 hours to get to your inbox

[cold mesa]

Maybe she'll post an update?

[remote latch]

blows whistle get to your corners peeps 🙂

[jolly cedar]

I believe there will be a post, I don't think they'll be that much of a tease lol

I guess we'll find out come 5pm

[patent dust]

aright peeps, invites should be done, buuuuuttt its s6 so you never know

[jolly cedar]

Keep an eye on the twitter folks xD

[celest maple]

testing the capacity of the systems is very important, they should let us all in

[flint igloo]

Has anyone made fresh cookies yet for Amelia to entice them to extend the email invites?

[whole geode]

I like European food so I decided to Russia over there because I was Hungary. After Czech'ing the menu I ordered Turkey. When I was Finnished I told the waiter 'Spain good but there is Norway I could eat another bite'

[tardy sentinel]

In the final countdown 😮

Came back to celebrate or console lol, whichever is needed XD

[remote latch]

And whose to say there weren't any email glitches that caused delays in the email 🙂

[jolly cedar]

Did you get in talliah

[jolly cedar]

See that's what I'm talking about xD

[tardy sentinel]

Not yet XD

[marble hedge]

My email address is the glitch....

[jolly cedar]

Man I want fried egg

Can I put some on you toast

[tardy sentinel]

I've been cautiously optimistic the odds were not in my favor XD so tried to not let myself get TOOOOO hopeful

[jolly cedar]

It'll be tasty :3

[civic axle]

uhhh nty fruit

[jolly cedar]

Okay

[whole geode]

I wanted this - too badly I think. 😦

[tardy sentinel]

comfort

[lean elk]

how long does the alpha testing even last for for those who got a key

[flint igloo]

There will be other Alphas cycles, remember that.

[civic axle]

ive always had terrible luck so never expected to get in, just disappointing every time

[civic axle]

apparently about a month and access to the next tests

[remote latch]

I felt like that at the end of pre-alpha .. excitement during the invite wave but then disappointment .. but .. I enjoyed the time here regardless 🙂 and .. it helped contain my excitement somewhat 🙂

[whole geode]

Sleeping comes so naturally to me, that I could do it with my eyes closed...... ba dum tiss. And with that being said, I must depart. It's been a very long day of waiting, hoping and praying. Good night Palians and good luck for those final few emails going out.

[lean elk]

oh wow

[civic axle]

good night, sorry you didn't make it.

[deep frigate]

future access is not guaranteed for testers, fyi. don't get peoples hopes up

[marble hedge]

I posted once a day during pre-alpha. It ended up being 65 days.

[civic axle]

ive only seen differently, but do u know where they said that?

[remote latch]

We never knew about pre-alphas getting in until the announcement a few days ago

next time we will have to see what is said then

We suspect but don't assume

[deep frigate]

I've never seen a dev say that it will be guaranteed, only people assuming

I hope everyone will be invited back, and pre-alpha people being invited back to alpha makes me hopeful, but it isnt confirmed by anyone of authority

[civic axle]

well considering the NDA i feel its safe to assume they would invite previous alpha players to continue playing as compensation for not breaking it. say you took a screenshot of the game, they can't take you out of alpha unless you were always kept in

cuz then thats a whole group of people who could just break NDA with little to no consequence yknow

[remote latch]

do you know you're right , I thought the announcement said that the pre-alpha's were all getting back in .. maybe that wasn't the case

[marble hedge]

Since you don't know the consequences of breaking the NDA, I wouldn't make assumptions.

[deep frigate]

I can see them inviting back previous testers for feedback reasons (do you like the xx change?) but not this.
NDA is still enforceable after the testing phase ends. There is not "little to no consequence" there are legal actions that can be taken against you

[deep frigate]

i believe amelia said that pre-alphas were getting back in, in here, not in an annoucement

[remote latch]

yeah I'm searching

Ah here we go [S6] AmeliaMarz — 02/11/2022 If you signed up for the PreAlpha, you're good to be considered for the Alpha 🙂 So, just good for Alpha .. Nope .. thats signed up not actual testers

[deep frigate]

yes thats it!

[celest maple]

I think that means people who registered for prealpha carry over to alpha. As in the lottery. E.g I registered for pre alpha, didnt get in but I should still be in lottery for the alpha (and looking at the time, didnt get in that one either ).

[eager quiver]

besides breaking NDA is kinda a trash move tbh. you agreed to it, dont break your word... and its unfair to the devs and future players besides.

[civic axle]

yes but this is the internet, im thinking realistically.

whatever, ig we'll see how they approach next sessions

[stiff fractal]

Wait, wait, invites over? noo!

[celest maple]

Most likely

[stiff fractal]

begs for moar

[remote latch]

yep, but probably worth doing a last minute email check in case of delays

[deep frigate]

this too #💬│palia-discussions message

[stiff fractal]

It is not even 5. S6 IS SLACKING T_T

[dusty root]

cries

[remote latch]

ah yes thats the one I remembered ..

[timid prism]

if you don't have a invite now, your out of luck, come back next year

[floral glen]

sad times

[stiff fractal]

No, comeback tomorrow

[deep frigate]

same, it just didn't have the keywords i thought it did to search for it

[stiff fractal]

always got this wholesome chat to be present in- almost as good as the actual palia

[remote latch]

we don't know when the next tester invite cycle will be so just keep an eye out

[deep frigate]

palia will only be palia because of the wholesome cozy community behind it

[stiff fractal]

what if it was tomorrow that a new cycle started? JUST. WHAT IF.

[remote latch]

exactly 🙂

[timid prism]

I mean it figuratively 😎

[remote latch]

I doubt that .. they review suggestions and reports and add new stuff etc

[stiff fractal]

the overused "see you next year" funnies that always gets to be said the few days prior New Years

[remote latch]

my dad and brothers do that after midnight when me and mum say tomorrow .. when we haven't gone to bed yet

[stiff fractal]

Or.. they realize they failed in amassing a sufficent enough crowd, as the randoms were randoms who didn't truly care and didn;t even bother to join this server, so therefore is forced to resume the cycle and get more players?

[remote latch]

maybe .. who knows 🤷‍♀️

[deep frigate]

who says they aren't even in the server? im sure a few aren't, but I bet most are. they are just lurkers

[stiff fractal]

Well, there were a bunch of mentions about it earlier

How nobody can find alpha tester without prealpha tester role, and subsequently only found like, a few

[weary karma]

Gotta see how many new show up in the coming days that don't check their emails all the time and find the invite.

[remote latch]

we had some like that .. one person was on vacation for several weeks and came back half way through

[stiff fractal]

lucky that they could still join mid-game though

I know I'd be worried whether it had expired or something lol

[remote latch]

Well about 230 people have joined the server today .. most could be due to getting the email invite and completing the process

[smoky sequoia]

I'll hold out hope until they officially say it's over and invites should be received

[stiff fractal]

what was the avg during non-active days, in case you know?

[deep frigate]

There were also some sites that wrote articles about how palia is moving to alpha phase, so its possible that some of those could be people just learning of palia. i bet some are testers though

[remote latch]

I haven't calculated the ones passed January yet

[deep frigate]

I'm just impressed that you can keep up with the numbers

[stiff fractal]

Imagine the amount of mass luck you would have if you were just a newbie, barely finding out about palia only to be shoved a invite

[remote latch]

I try weekly .. if I remember 🙂

Xmas week was the largest since October .. at 218 average a day

[stiff fractal]

Do you try to set up recurring reminders? Could help you with your attempt

Xmas? There is no ingame event yet, why were joins jumping? people, smh

[remote latch]

nah .. I just calculate based on the day count

[smoky sequoia]

People looking for new games probably

[deep frigate]

There are also people like my husband, who signed up for palia testing the same time I did (the day of the trailer launch lol) but didn't join the server because he is in SO many discord servers already

[stiff fractal]

@deep frigate Ah, but the art in magic is to skillfully make a "servers I don't check that often" folder and just throw all the less common used ones into it

[remote latch]

ah thats what messed me up .. I had to start over .. they did a clear out of bad accounts by the looks of it rofl

This Years count so far :
03 January - 117,549 (1280)
07 January - 117,858 (309)
18 January - 118,638 (780)
23 January - 118,872 (234)
07 February - 118,348 -- Numbers Dropped ??
15 February - 119,754 ( 1406 )
16 February - 119,985 ( 231 )

[stiff fractal]

Ok, I made a faux pas by saying art in magic. That literally doesn't even make sense lmao

[deep frigate]

yep I do that, but there is a 100 server limit and I know several people who have reached that

[stiff fractal]

||then uh, make another one <3||

Hold on, did you mean overall limits, as in no matter what you can't join until you leave any one?

I at first thought folder limits my bad

[deep frigate]

I think its 100, I didn't check, but there is a limit of the number of discord servers you can be in, and yes you cannot join another until you leave one if you reach that limit

[stiff fractal]

Time to hope Discord sees the flaw in that, and make a way around it

[weary karma]

Does nitro+ or whatever increase the limit?

[deep frigate]

the palia discord has its place as the 4th server on my list, behind my own, my personal one i write random thoughts in, and my best friends group chat server

[ocean stone]

I think Nitro+ increases the limit to 200

[topaz path]

there may have been an influx as well because the mmorpg.com newsletter that went out on sunday had a palia plug in it

[deep frigate]

i think so, but you also gotta pay for nitro

[remote latch]

These are the averages I tracked since October

122 per day from 2nd October to 2nd November
176 per day from 2nd November to 7th November
185 per day from 7th November to 12th November
159 per day from 12th November to 17th November
110 per day from 17th November to 22nd November
195 per day from 22nd November to 30th November
102 per day from 30th November to 9th December
52 per day from 9th December and 16th December
218 per day from 17th December to 24th December
128 per day from 24th December to 3rd January
77 per day from 3rd January to 7th January
71 per day from 7th January to 18th January
47 per day from 18th January to 23rd January
175 per day from 7th February to 15th February
231 from 15th February to 16th February```

[celest maple]

doubt, seems like a restriction they put in place to manage performance on their servers

[weary karma]

Only reason i'd see to be on that many servers tho is for the emojis and stickers.

[deep frigate]

I'm in a few different game ones, but also in a ton of different streamers I support, and I can easily see myself reaching the 100 server limit in the future lol even if I don't use them much. but if that happens I'll just leave some

[marble hedge]

... and here I thought 4 was a lot.... and I don't even talk in 3 of them.

[remote latch]

I have .. erm .. Palia and .. erm .. the one with my wow buddies who I say the occasional hi to when they talk

[deep frigate]

even my family - my parents and brothers and I - have a discord server together lol

[marble hedge]

I have Palia, the Ark server I play on, and two Minecraft mods I just keep tabs on for updates.

[smoky sequoia]

I have some from games I backed, some from school, some communities that started on tumblr, a few friends ones, a note to self one, one for me and my bestie, and one for me and my roomies

[wheat tundra]

Press F to pay respect for the people who didn' t got invited in the alpha (including myself)

[smoky sequoia]

F, me too

[marble hedge]

It ain't over til Amelia says it's over.

[warm plover]

it aint over till the einar sings

[past snow]

I didn’t get an invite. 😔 I really wanted to try this game out!

[warm plover]

well it was less about trying the game out and more about testing it...

[stiff fractal]

I have, uh, three personal friendo circles from way back then days of internetto, um.... MMO, mmo, mmo, mmo, mmo, mmo, mmo, and then finally the worthiest of all, the Palia MMO server.

[warm plover]

yall maintain friend groups for more than three months? cant relate

[deep frigate]

there will be more rounds of testing in the future!

[remote latch]

17 years ? 🙂

[stiff fractal]

when the bond was made over the strangest ways, ancient magick ensures we are to be bound forever. and ever.

[deep frigate]

the main friend group I have a server with, I have known them for 18, 13, and 12 years!

[warm plover]

wow i mega cant relate

[stiff fractal]

oh man, when did I meet them? I was like, holy shit, 12. OVER A DECADE AGO I'M GETTING TOO OLD HELP

[smoky sequoia]

I made a joke about my brother eating my homework and my bestie and I have been friends for over a decade now

[remote latch]

age could be a factor 🙂

[stiff fractal]

thank for the proof supporting my claim

[deep frigate]

I also have a discord server that is ONLY me, and I use it to organize thoughts and notes for myself. Like I have a channel in it called, gift ideas for others - and every time I think of a good gift idea for someone, i put it in that channel that I only can see, and when it is their birthday i look through my ideas. it has been very handy for all sorts of things!

[warm plover]

I remember one of the first conversations I had with my highschool friends started with one of them just saying, apropos of nothing, "I think I lost weight in my thighs"

[marble hedge]

Strangely, for a guy who has been gaming online since 1993, I have no long-term online friends.

[cinder temple]

I have a friend I've known for 13 years in this server. 👀

[warm plover]

oh same i use it for storing files between computers and writing to-do lists and stuff

[smoky sequoia]

Same

[warm plover]

does their name start with potentially and end with simuel

[cinder temple]

It does not!

[stiff fractal]

I used to do that, until I realized how a random disable of accounts (as in, auto disabled from too much purposeful reporting where no actual illegality occured) would result in the immediate deletion of your server. And I don't even think you get to get it back once appealed and unbanned

[celest maple]

yeahhh i use it for transferring files between mobile and computer lol

[stiff fractal]

lmao, why is there so many methods to do exactly that yet the people don't use it due to being confused and end up using quite wayward methods like discord for that purpose

[remote latch]

I had 2 friends at highschool .. we met up a few years later and found out we had nothing in common outside of school .. never chatted to them since

[stiff fractal]

well, for some, high school def was not golden days

[remote latch]

nope .. was not a good experience .. thankfully I loved school so shouldered through it .. tried for teacher training then left for work ..

[deep frigate]

I dont use discord for files, but I mean, I always have discord open on my computer - why use another program or open up a web browser and go to a whole website when I have a quick thought to jot down vs just two clicks, type, hit enter, and then keep doing whatever I was doing before. ease of access for me

[celest maple]

like what lol i really cba setting up a google drive or dropbox etc when i got discord and i use it all the time :p

plus i also use it for keeping notes

[deep frigate]

that's such a sad way for friendships to die out. I had a great group of friends in high school, and after graduation, half of them would never initiate a conversation. I stopped texting them first, and we just... stopped talking. its disappointing

[sly mirage]

its just how things go

just leaves more opportunities for new friends 🙂

[remote latch]

I'm not good with conversation if I have nothing to input .. so most social outings are me sitting there while everyone else chats So I just stopped going

[celest maple]

yeah my group of 7 or so friends kinda broke off after HS. I only kept in contact with one of them and hes disappeared recently

[deep frigate]

yep. I've found its more difficult to make friends as an adult, though. but luckily places like this exist 🙂

[stiff fractal]

well, a saving grace is college esp if you live in-school, but even that is not going to last

[deep frigate]

hm. valentine's day is over. I guess I can change my penny-in-a-heart profile pic now hm

[deep frigate]

yeah... I am only 4 years out of college and dont talk to those people much anymore either

[stiff fractal]

too remisicent of cringe parties huh? jk lol

[deep frigate]

I went to two parties my whole college career... I also didn't drink at all in college.

maybe that's why they don't talk to me anymore, I was the "party pooper" that stayed in her dorm with her cat

nothing wrong with that though, it was what I wanted to do and my cat is adorable

[remote latch]

At my first job fresh out of school I was always sent free tickets to the local night club .. so .. me and some of the office girls would go and I hated it .. loud music, can't talk .. not my scene 🙂 rather be home with a book 🙂

[stiff fractal]

oh oh oh reason to learn ASL right der!

ability to just seamlessly chat without having to move into a quieter enviroment

[tight lake]

Being alone with animals is better sometimes

[remote latch]

[tight lake]

Hi! ♡

[deep frigate]

now I am just a cat, not a cat in a heart!

[celest maple]

is that ur cat in ur pfp looks so cute

[deep frigate]

yes! I'll find the full pic I had sent of her 🙂

[tight lake]

I enjoy wandering outside the house, meanwhile the cat stays at home only randomly deigning to step foot with me on a rare occasion. Fluffy cat queen

[timid prism]

being retired and everyone leave in the morning for work I get heaps of time to think about what trouble I can find myself in and I do

[stiff fractal]

kitteh, aw. Is it still in kitteh form??

[deep frigate]

the pic is from the day I met her, now she is almost 6 🙂

[buoyant heath]

Hi again friends

[stiff fractal]

Awww so adorable 😭 and your 6 years old is JUST AS ADORABLE obviously.

[remote latch]

ok think I'll post a welcome post for any new lurkers .. regulars have any favourites ?

[deep frigate]

pics are in #🐾│pet-pics if anyone wants to see the full size pic:)

[buoyant heath]

My 6 yo is adorable too

but only for another month or so

[deep frigate]

yeah next month they wont be adorable anymore

[buoyant heath]

Yes

7 year olds just lack the ability to be adorable. They age out.

[remote latch]

nooo .. our cats were adorable right up until 12+

[buoyant heath]

Oh, we're talking about animals? You're right then. I was thinking about humans.

[remote latch]

I did wonder that ..

For the lurkers out there and any newcomers. Welcome to Palia : Lost. Nai'o has been given the task of directing you through the maze of channels to get you to Palia : The Game. Go to #❔│game-faqs and turn left at #❓│old-team-answers-alpha, then right at #🌠│official-art and around the roundabout at #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha. You can take the short cut through the pinned documents by Rin and Vlad. You should be nearing the gates to Palia when you see the pre-alpha blog in #📢│palia-news. Once there, all you need to do is wait ( don't forget to sign up if you want to try your chance to get in one of the future test phases ). But you'll be in good company. Again, welcome and we hope you enjoy your wait with us.

[buoyant heath]

My favorite welcome message is any one that @remote latch posts

[lofty mulch]

o7 all, how are we?

[celest maple]

could be better. could have an invite, hbu

[lofty mulch]

doing alright. I got it too good in everything else in my life to be sad about not getting an invite

[celest maple]

damn thats great, wish i could say the same

[exotic anvil]

How do I know if I did the alpha surveys?

[deep frigate]

there weren't any confirmation emails after signing up, unfortunately, so the only way to double check is to have amelia check for you

[stiff fractal]

One issue I notice from app deliveries is how I tend to want a certain restaurant's best dish, but then want a slushy made from another restaurant, and meanwhile there's this thing I'm craving from a third different restaurant.
Please let me have my ultimate order, best bof al three worlds orz

[timid prism]

pineapple on pizza

[bright forge]

Goodnight my friends

[weary karma]

salmon on pizza

[tight lake]

Raw salmon?

[weary karma]

sure

[lofty mulch]

Delivery driver here: I have had someone order the main dish of their dinner from one restaurant and get a drink from another place and both orders were assigned to me. If you do it quick enough and the restaurants are close enough together you should be able to c-c-c-combo! your dinner together and get it all at the same time.

[tight lake]

.. not sure if that would be tasty, might be!

[celest maple]

i dont get this tbh. poor amelia

[hidden lynx]

you should not message Amelia to ask if you signed up xD

[pallid igloo]

Google forms has an option to require you to enter your email that is a major pain point - in hindsight we think we should have required it, but it is a hassle for those who aren't Google users.

[spiral escarp]

No invites here 😭

[deep frigate]

I didn't say anyone should only that it is the only way lol

[hidden lynx]

fair fair ❤️

[keen latch]

No email for sure now, its been a pleasure yall

[deep frigate]

amelia is amazing and also very busy

I'll be rooting for yall next round

[floral glen]

aaw man i really wanted one ;-;

[celest maple]

i think anyone who seriously wanted to be in the alpha would have been fine with that inconvenience. Regardless hope your day hasnt been too hectic

Also apologizes for ping

[mint steppe]

aww 2nd time I didn't get in. Oh well.

[weary karma]

Amelia needs more cookies 🍪

[floral glen]

🍪

[keen latch]

Amelia needs coffee lol

So will the devs and producers with the new alpha, christ I can not imagine the ammount of small bugs are gonna come up

[upbeat bloom]

👀 We all need cookies 😄

[cold mesa]

Big hugs

[smoky sequoia]

Well hmu if you need extra people for the alpha 👀

[wintry wasp]

It happened as I predicted. I said no invite on day one. 😄

There's always launch. (Cause I won't get any non-open access testing. :D)

[patent dust]

i hope your day went well amelia

[remote latch]

She's probably hyper ventilating ... breathe Amelia breathe ... the hard bit is over right ?

[patent dust]

its only just beginning

[remote latch]

I see a lurker I haven't seen in a while

[patent dust]

me too :P

like i said, theyre always watching

[celest maple]

lol launch day is gonna be sooooo much worse

[remote latch]

Yeah, it makes me smile when I see a lurker emote on one of my welcome posts .. it shows they're working

come out come out wherever you are ...

[patent dust]

water is so good here T.T

i never used to drink water cause bottled tastes awful and tap was not great. but up here the tap is amazing

[tulip knoll]

hi

[patent dust]

hello o/

grats on getting into alpha :)

[warm plover]

tap water good

[burnt stirrup]

looks like i wasn't selected for Aplha 😦 still no email as of today sad sad sad, those who have gotten access into Alpha, ENJOY!!!

[winter fiber]

so is it
pay-lia
or pal-ia... like pal and just "ia" at the end of it

[patent dust]

pay lia

[celest maple]

Ola

[patent dust]

buenos dias

[celest maple]

o thought it was pah-lia

[keen latch]

I always believed it was pal-ia becuase we are all pals

[burnt stirrup]

personally i just always pronounce it as Pal-ia regardless of what it should be called, since it rings better for me XD

[winter fiber]

that's what I was thinking, because it's a world full of pals

[remote latch]

From the FAQ

How do you pronounce Palia?
Pae - Lee - Uh
Here's a voice clip Neleimour created to help us! https://twitter.com/playPalia/status/1400501903235051527

[burnt stirrup]

i guess it's not a big deal if you want it to be Pal-ia or anything else XD

[winter fiber]

oh there's actually a qna for it 😂

[burnt stirrup]

as long as you enjoy the sound of it hahaha

[remote latch]

there they are .. hi cautomaton

[patent dust]

xrystal beat me to it T.T

[keen latch]

You see I know thats official but my heart rejects

[patent dust]

shhh youll scare him away

[remote latch]

From the Q & A in June

TECHNICALLY we're going PAY-lee-uh but considering any pronunciation valid, as people all across Palia pronounce it differently in different languages/dialects and such.```

[patent dust]

pronounce it however :D

[keen latch]

Gotta love it

[patent dust]

seems i need to replace a switch in my keyboard...again

ive never had switches go out so quickly

[weary karma]

How do you know when they go out?

[patent dust]

they dont activate sometimes

[remote latch]

all that typing you're doing .. my keyboard is losing letters

[patent dust]

my p key has been giving me trouble today

[plush zenith]

We pronounce it pay-lee-yah because we're Americans. It's inspired by the Greek:

https://www.google.com/search?q=palia+greek+meaning

[weary karma]

Happy I haven't had any go out on mine.

[patent dust]

finally confirmation on origin! \o/

[remote latch]

I suspected that way back when

[plush zenith]

For Americans, think how you'd say "paleontologist"

[winter fiber]

wait... paylee-"yay"...?

[plush zenith]

Eh, inspired doesn't mean that's all there is to the name... 😉

[patent dust]

ive replaced at least 5 letters and my enter key

and im also dyslexxic so i just spell things wrong sometimes

[weary karma]

Think mine only 2 years old, I forget when I got it.

[patent dust]

like that

[keen latch]

Hmmm its good counter argument Cautomaton but I still think its pronounced pal-ia, Although its a good theory

[winter fiber]

srry you just really lost me at the yay

oh it was a typo

[remote latch]

This was my theory on it a while back - Xrystal | Wikibot [PNN] — 09/24/2021 Palia in greek means 'old'/'of old'/'old time' fits in with the 3000+ year old mystery

[weary karma]

yay due to how happy palia makes you feel.

[winter fiber]

I'm going to pronounce it pay-lee-yay from here on out

[lofty mulch]

How did I not know this?

[deep frigate]

i love xrystals theories

[lofty mulch]

I'm a TTRPG dungeon master Greek and Latin are my third and second languages respectively

[patent dust]

xrystal is too smart for all of us

[lofty mulch]

my first language being chaos

[keen latch]

Xrystal's brain just works on double speed

[weary karma]

Xrystal must have at least 10 quad-core processors in that brain.

[deep frigate]

it helps that xrystal is a bot

I learnt how to read greek and write greek ( not translate ) when I was 17 .. so I can usually tell how greek inherited words may be spelt in greek .. enough to find it in a dictionary

[dusty root]

Welp. No Alpha key. Now I've gotta find a way to nuke the moon like I threatened months ago. Gotta get some nice cheese pizza out of all this...

[median patrol]

I mean, I can help if you want

[keen latch]

May your ventures be fruitful and cheesy

[patent dust]

the moon has been blown up too many times

[dusty root]

The only fruit that belongs on pizza is tomato.

[remote latch]

pineapple 🙂

[dusty root]

NU

[patent dust]

https://tenor.com/view/dbz-piccolo-dragonballz-shoot-fire-gif-6099143

[keen latch]

I meeeeeeeean like arnt olives pretty good on pizza and peppers?

[dusty root]

Hold up. Are olives and peppers fruit? >.>;;;;;

[remote latch]

peppers are vegetables

[keen latch]

https://www.google.com/search?client=opera-gx&q=are+peppers+fruit&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

[remote latch]

oh wait .. no peppers and tomatos are similar

fruit have seeds in side

[keen latch]

Honestly I took a shot in the dark and got lucky but haha I was right

[dusty root]

... I stand corrected then. BUT NO PINEAPPLE.

[patent dust]

this is the next big debate

pineapple is great. i love a food that i have to eat before it eats me

[remote latch]

apart from strawberries I think they're the only fruit with seeds outside

[dusty root]

Pineapple is fine. Just not on pizza :V

[remote latch]

sings hawaiian island song

[keen latch]

Ok so like raw pineapple is a non no but a good crisp pineapples is one of the tastiest things Ive ever eaten

[patent dust]

thats my favorite topping on pizza :c

[dusty root]

Hot pineapple just turns me off. Idk. Maybe cuz I'm use to sweet pineapple and cooked it's decidedly... not?

[keen latch]

Oh weird when I eat cooked pineapple it get sweeter, strange

[dusty root]

Idk. It just seems to absorb all the pizza grease and it's just not something I enjoy like that.

[flint igloo]

Pineapple on pizza is so good.

[remote latch]

its the marmite factor 🙂

[patent dust]

hecc yeah it is!

[keen latch]

Marmite factor?

[patent dust]

wait whats the marmite factor

[remote latch]

marmite is a spread that you either love or hate .. there is no in between

[patent dust]

also vegemite is bad and nobody can convince me otherwise

[tulip skiff]

Hello! I'm seeing interesting topics being discussed here! 😄 I suggest we move them to another channel, for example, #💬│off-topic-chat to keep this channel for Palia related topic only. Thanks for understanding!

[remote latch]

sorry Double Trouble 🙂 will desist 🙂

[dusty root]

NONO you are taking it all wrong! This is UHHHH... THEORYCRAFTING for COOKING in PALIA. Yea. That.

[flint igloo]

I was actually referring to the pineapple we will hopefully be growing in our fields in Palia. That I could then put on the pizza I baked in my oven.

[stiff fractal]

Gasp. Dev playing a game thjat is not Palia

[weary karma]

vegemite on pineapple?

[patent dust]

add pineapple pizza to palia!

[keen latch]

You see I wanna grow peppers in palia

[remote latch]

I grow peppers for real 🙂

[dusty root]

I wanna grow blackberries. And fish while they are growing.

[weary karma]

Only if there all different types of peppers.

[keen latch]

Yoooooooooo! What kind

[stiff fractal]

WTF, who dare even think about vegemite on pineapple pizza? what is wrong with you folks /jk

[remote latch]

I'm down to yellow sweet bell pepper seeds from year before lasts crop - missed last year out Gonna try again this year seeing as we are getting hot summers now

[remote latch]

and yes .. I want farming to be very detailed .. eventually but I can understand it starting simple 🙂

[weary karma]

Some reason I love red or yellow peppers way more than green.

[remote latch]

slightly different tastes

[keen latch]

Also! fun fact but color plays a huge part in taste, like a red Sause and yellow sause taste completely different event if they are the same. Weird part of humans

[remote latch]

The riper ( green > yellow > red ) the sweeter 🙂

[keen latch]

^ ok pepper queen knows more fun facts though

[weary karma]

hopefully can create some chocolate covered jalapenos and habaneros.

[remote latch]

rofl .. I might be wrong though 🙂

[median patrol]

vegemite in palia

[remote latch]

so Palia .. I wonder if next week we see the return of the villager-vote or its respective equivalents .. or start afresh after the next team answers

[patent dust]

in palia, you can grow stuff

[remote latch]

I wonder if we get to hear about more villagers so I can complete my family tree and see if my theories are true

[weary karma]

Family tree of bots?

[keen latch]

Idk but Im excited for it all

[remote latch]

[remote latch]

rofl .. nah the villagers family tree(s)

[median patrol]

can i marry a villager

[full nexus]

Morning

[patent dust]

maybe in the future

[median patrol]

stardew valley?

[remote latch]

We'll have relationships and romance, things like spouses and children could come later```

[quasi stone]

there is romance between you and villagers

[patent dust]

theres a possibility of marriage an-

[median patrol]

omg yes

[remote latch]

hahaha

[patent dust]

yeah that

[quasi stone]

there's also the possibility for ace relationships iirc

[remote latch]

ace ?

[quasi stone]

asexual

[median patrol]

stardew valley 3d

[patent dust]

considering thats not a feature in this game, wouldnt all relationships be ace?

[remote latch]

yeah that 🙂

[median patrol]

I'll do what I must

[quasi stone]

you could still have a romantic relationship without it involving sex, thats generally what i understand ace relationships to mean

so like maybe you wouldn't have babies with them?

[patent dust]

adoption

[quasi stone]

that would be bomb

[patent dust]

could also do the stardew valley way

[quasi stone]

turn your kids into birds?

[median patrol]

Steal them

[patent dust]

i never got children in sdv but i assumed they showed up randomly if you wanted them

[remote latch]

New Theory: Rememberance Garden ? Maybe many villager orphans

[quasi stone]

its a random event with your spouse, when you reach heart level 13 or something at night they'll ask you if you want kids and you can say yes

[patent dust]

ahh

[quasi stone]

if you're in a same sex relationship its adoption tho

[patent dust]

maybe they can just be like..delivered

[ornate patio]

Nite folks,

[abstract rover]

no invite cry

[fiery gale]

I'm American but I say Pal-ee-uh

Palia with the pals y'know

The paligang

[obtuse frost]

Yeah I pronounce it Pal-ee-uh too :'3 Also good timezone everyone

[half oak]

I'm Canadian I pronounce it Puh

[obtuse frost]

Haven't seen no invite, but that's okay

[timid prism]

Yes, I ok I didn't get an invite. I have not been that long.

[spare oak]

I've been saying Pal-ee-uh too because you play it with your pals 😅

[clear veldt]

Im romanian and i prononunce it just like pahleeuh, if u type it on google translate. I think its the same as pal-ee-uh, but if u put paleeuh all together,it sounds like pay-lee-uh.

[patent dust]

oh wow appy, havnt seen you in forever

[whole geode]

Couldn't sleep - had to come check just one more F5.... but alas, no such luck.

[buoyant heath]

appypie best pie

[patent dust]

yeah all the invites are done now :/

[cold mesa]

i’ve always said it pay-lee-uh

[clear veldt]

Don't worry guys, we'll soon play this game. I've seen a leak of lost ark back in 2016 i think, when i was searching for something else besides wow, and was eager to play it. 6 years of waiting was worth it.

[whole geode]

Nothing on my mails or twitter. 😦

[clear veldt]

And palia will arrive sooner.

[timid prism]

I played the beta of lost ark and now the full game, I didn't find there to be much different between the 2. after a few hour I got bored with the rinse and repeat of the game.

[spare oak]

I seem to be missing where the link to d/l the client before the test opens or am I crazy...

[patent dust]

go to #📢│palia-news and theres a link to get your role if you got an invite

[whole geode]

At 72, I'll not make a bet I'll be here in 6 years. 😦

[timid prism]

I find now that a good mmo adventure games where you can game with friends and do as you like more entertaining

[spare oak]

Ah gotcha, you need role to d/l? Cool, just waiting on support to respond

[patent dust]

careful what you say in here, NDA

[clear veldt]

Oh, its not coming in 6 years, i know that

[timid prism]

Maybe they could have a beta where they charges us a few bux to join, works well with a few betas I'm testing now, help pay for the dev of the game and pay for bigger server

[patent dust]

nah they wouldnt do that for palia

[timid prism]

thats fair and I understand why some don't go down the road

[whole geode]

People who pay to beta - are not there for quality assurance, they are there to learn as much as they can and have a benefit over others when the game launches.

[patent dust]

people, including game companies, seem to forget that a beta is supposed to be a testing phase, but have changed it to be synonymous with early access

the difference is a beta is meant to help catch issues/change things, not just see what the game is like

[celest maple]

yeah lol exactly. lots of games now are just in "beta" for years lmao

[viral lotus]

was less than 3 years 8 months ago to palia opens

[patent dust]

release is estimated to be in 2.3 years

[near lava]

Agreed. Which is why I specifically mentioned my experience as a SysAdmin and willing to seriously assist during testing, both on the questionnaire and the Intro here. I don't normally just step out and offer my services 'pro bono' anymore either, been badly burned more than once over the years due to that (nor is my time cheap anymore either, after almost 30 years in Fintech). But for this, I'd do it. If only because I see the same potential as Uru, and could be something nice for ready-made niches (such as the Cyan Worlds fans).

[frank peak]

enjoy alpha all

[quasi stone]

usually if i have to pay to play beta, like with a lot of steam games or new world or whatever, its because i'm excited about the game, not because i want to have a benefit over other people. i just wanna play

[celest maple]

thats fine as long u report bugs u come across

[near lava]

In any event, for those who got in this pass - have fun, and please do help them. :-) The better the feedback is, the faster this could come to full release.

[celest maple]

a lot of time beta testers just hop on once they get access to see how it is and never come back or only come back when new feature is being tested, at least in my personal experience :-s

[near lava]

That's why I research and commit a decent timeframe when going into something like this. I gave Eve and GW2 six months before stopping, the former would have lasted two years if not for what was left of the RP community, which made it last another year. GW2 I happened to stumble into the right group of folks just as I got back in the groove after Sandy hit here, and has lasted until now (with only two guild changes, and this most recent change will probably be my 'final' guild).

Once in here I will likely drop anything else game-wise, and just immerse myself - both from a Lore/Story eye and with my Project Manager hat on.

[celest maple]

sad i didnt got a invite....

[median patrol]

I too didnt got a invite

[summer obsidian]

Huge hugs!!

[median patrol]

But next test, im getting the dub

overconfidence is the best thing ever

Welp no invite for me. Congratulations to anyone who got in tho! Enjoy the game for all of us!

when will I get the email if I was chosen

[cunning mural]

^

[uneven fog]

it will be so long

can't wait

[whole geode]

Cya

[lyric ocean]

Nah dont worry, it was a pretty niche joke

Robert Pattinson the actor starred in Twilight movies as a vampire, then he landed a new role of Batman in the coming soon movie many years later... Punchline... so it took you THAT long as a vampire to transform into a bat?!

[whole geode]

yep, I got it. 🙂

[woeful spear]

No invite... Maybe that's for good
I'm gonna spend days in Stardew anyway

[whole geode]

I liked the game, but the days went too fast for me to cope with it.

[woeful spear]

Yeah, in the beginning it seemed long enough, but as you progress you notice that there is actually no time
But I'm still addicted to it rn, especially after Hollow knight

[celest maple]

Good timezone to everyone!
I hope, everyone having a good time now?

[pearl peak]

Devastated. 😭 Passed by again. Have fun everyone. ❤️‍🩹

[celest maple]

you talking about not having an invite, right?

[whole geode]

I believe so - he's jumped into Halo now and won't be seen for a few months. 🙂

[full nexus]

Waiting for palia alpha is like waiting for silksong

[pearl peak]

Yes, sorry, I didn't mean to get in the way of a current conversation.

[celest maple]

Halo?
Not really a peaceful Palia follower, huh?

[woeful spear]

At least Palia's developers are not absolutely silent 😭

[celest maple]

No worries! I just got here anyway...

[full nexus]

Frfr haha

[celest maple]

they don't?

[full nexus]

Team cherry is super quite abt it

Been waiting since 2019 for silksong

[whole geode]

A few games where affected by Covid. Expect delays.

[median patrol]

Im here in palia in hopes I can deforest every single forest in existance

[full nexus]

😦

[full nexus]

One thing for sure silksong is gonna be epiiccc

[pearl peak]

I only play that because my friends like it. I quit SoT because I can't handle the toxicity. If I want to play with them, sometimes I gotta play halo 😔 One day I'll get into Palia. One day.

[celest maple]

Hahaha! Red alert, red alert! We have an enviremental threat on a world-wide scale!

[woeful spear]

Only recently we got a message from them like "Yeah the game development still continues don't worry"

This is obviously good to hear but...

[celest maple]

One day. 🙂

[full nexus]

Im sure it’ll worth the wait

[celest maple]

we will see. I sure hope so...

By the way. I will ask again a strange question....Almost again...
Are there any people here, who learned how to draw by English books?

[full nexus]

Not me, im not artsy :”

One time I learned is to draw my little pony from youtube tutorials

Didnt turn out great HAHA

[lofty mulch]

I learned to draw (well, learned is a stretch) by pure trial and error. It's not the most effective method of learning but it works.

[celest maple]

Well, ponies are indeed cute!

[full nexus]

Mhm!

[celest maple]

True!
Though, i really interested now in pure methodology.
is it true, that European draw learning don't usually include solid fundamental basics, or it's just a false impression?

[lofty mulch]

I have never been to art school and I'm also not European, so I don't know.

[celest maple]

I see. Thank you anyway!

Just doing a little research now, about different ways to learn drawing.
European books i see so far offer many practice lessons, but the theory usually...Not on academic level. I alsoo looking at some russian books - and there are really more academic aproach seen there, but...books i see, really don't offer a lot of practical tasks to understand the material.

[full nexus]

Goodluck!!

[celest maple]

For many european boosk i see "step 1, step 2, step 3 .... step N - ok. Now you done drawing a bird. Great work, well done!"
Many russian books are like: "chiaroscuro is the effect of light modelling in painting, drawing, or printmaking, where three-dimensional volume is suggested by the value gradation of colour and the analytical division of light and shadow shapes—often called "shading"....blah-blah-blah...Got it? right. next topic. Wana practice? Too bad. Here's 3-5 examples. Not many tasks so far, yet going to the next topic...."

[woeful spear]

Step 1: draw a circle
Step 2: add details

[celest maple]

Step 3: Use magic ?

[cyan basin]

how's it going tonight?

[whole geode]

a lot of people - crying into their pillows.

[wintry wasp]

I'm not upset. It went as I expected. 😄

[cyan basin]

holy..... 120 thousand people on this discord

[delicate wren]

Hi

[cyan basin]

waves

[whole geode]

Not cried... but disappointed. I'm struggling to find content I can do now. I need slow paced games.

[celest maple]

Well....Good timezone to everyone again...I'll go now, to look for japanese/chinese books on drawing to compare...

Take care, people!

[fallen summit]

Happy timezones everyone!

[viral lotus]

[fallen summit]

[fallen summit]

[viral lotus]

yeah was mostly people from NA and a couple from EU

[fallen summit]

which is understandable, since the server is in NA for now as far a I know

[viral lotus]

that it is

[wispy meadow]

We've talked about Palian tacos before
But what about Palian shwarma?

[viral lotus]

whats a shwarma ?

[misty lantern]

Yeah?

[viral lotus]

[fallen summit]

oh, not yet 👀

[viral lotus]

[fallen summit]

looks great!

[viral lotus]

hope will be when finaly finished

would not even be able to play palia on this old pc

[lyric ocean]

KinKin! please give me some good news, did you get into alpha??

[lyric ocean]

It is usually a wrap sandwich with grilled chicken or beef cut into small pieces, with some veggies, garlic sauce and pickles

done with Pita bread

[viral lotus]

sounds yummy

[lyric ocean]

oh its great

[warm plover]

i keep reading #💬│off-topic-chat as #otter-chatter-chat

a chat specifically for and about otters

[fallen summit]

No, I'm staying free from the clutches of NDA

[fallen summit]

you're not the only one 🦦

[lyric ocean]

I like the way you put it haha

[cerulean python]

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-spongebob-lonely-sad-raining-gif-5248000

To my fellow Paliaians whom didn't get into the Alpha, join me in the corner for some coffee.

[fathom cairn]

servers up late night coffee, then goes back to polishing cups while smooth jazz plays

[warm plover]

Late night coffee... makes us stay up longer

[viral lotus]

no my last cup of coffee for the night puts me to sleep

[rotund plaza]

No alphalove for an old Tauren sadmoo Have fun at everyone who's in, hug a tree for me or something like that.

[vast wyvern]

this just makes me think of the Persona 5 song, Beneath the Mask (Rainy)

We'll get everyone in soon enough! Think about it like this: we want to try and test servers and any major issues, so as we get more folks in, the game will only be a better experience!

[upbeat kite]

congrats to everyone who got into the Alpha! Hope you get a great insight to the game and provide some valuable feedback to help sculpt this amazing game!

[warm plover]

Where have you been?
Been searching all along?
Been facin' twilight all along
Without a clue

[cerulean python]

Oh I have no doubt. I'm just letting you guys know I'll be here when your ready.

[warm plover]

I actually bought the instrumental track just to sing over it
and then realised that making a cover like that was probably (read: definitely) copyright infringement

[spring rivet]

Palutations!

[cerulean python]

In the mean time...is there a Palia OST we can listen to?

[warm plover]

we've only got kilima village (day) right now

Hello Xrystal!

[viral lotus]

hiya Xrystal

[remote latch]

hi Pala

I see KJ around

[iron bane]

To those who got the invite- have fun! Make this game amazing for us! ❤️

[remote latch]

well best do the dishes and feed the squirrels .. then back while I wait for the shopping to come 🙂

For the lurkers out there and any newcomers. Welcome to Palia : Jina's Research Lab. Jina is working on her human thesis and is currently browsing through the channels acquiring knowledge that you may find useful. She is starting with the #❔│game-faqs,#❓│old-team-answers-alpha and #🌠│official-art channels first and then maybe the currently archived #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha channel, lots of human interaction in there to flesh out her thesis. She will be delighted to know that the #❔│game-faqs also includes links to the documents compiled by Rin and Vlad, members of our human community. Once you have read through these documents you should know what we know about Palia : The Game so far. Jina has also browsed through the Pre-Alpha blog for further insights on the humans which you can find on the Palia site that can be accessed via the #📢│palia-news channel or the bottom of the Palia site itself. If you sign up and fill in the surveys I am sure Jina would love the chance to meet you and your friends in person. Again, welcome and we hope you enjoy waiting with us .

[cerulean quail]

Hi @remote latch !!! GMORNINGGG

[blissful glade]

Hi everyone!
I just received an invitation to join Alpha. It says that I can download the game in advance but I don't see how I can do that. Is there a link or anything?

[edgy cloak]

You should probably DM the devs for that

[fallen summit]

rather not ask around here in public chats because of the NDA, so you don't get yourself into trouble just in case. contact one of the admins or use the link they provided in #📢│palia-news

[spring rivet]

[remote latch]

Good Morning Officer Quackie 🥭 🥭 🥭 🥭 🥭

[remote latch]

something to look forward to

yesss the balance is restored

oooh shopping time back in a while

[fallen summit]

[lyric ocean]

I'm secretly playing alpha and pretending that I didnt get in

[faint dawn]

[tardy dagger]

[bright forge]

Hi Ducky

[burnt elm]

I’m so sleepy

[bright forge]

It's weather or just it's night for you?

[burnt elm]

It’s 7am and I’d rather go back to sleep lol

[faint dawn]

You got this pebble.

[viscid edge]

As I grow older I don't get bothered by rain anymore

[faint dawn]

Have some coffee, join us for some java jazz

[spring rivet]

[tardy dagger]

Yes, now let's pray on the downfall of the alpha testers. 🙏

Hold on.. there is a traitor among us

[bright forge]

[tardy dagger]

[faint dawn]

[bright forge]

Let's have a moment of silence for Wippit may gods of patience bless him.

[faint dawn]

Ur doing it wrong.. its more like..

"Ex-plo-sion!"

[bright forge]

Why I hear Megumin?

[faint dawn]

Awwh the anime gif wont work

[heavy dew]

Embeds disabled

[faint dawn]

[bright forge]

Berry! Congrats!

[heavy dew]

Been a while hope you’ve been well!

[faint dawn]

HECK YES BERRY

[heavy dew]

Thank you bud, I’ll make you proud ❤️

[tardy dagger]

Hold on.. what if..

The Humans got eradicated by the Chapaas?

[faint dawn]

Plausable

[heavy dew]

My babies wouldn’t hurt a fly!

Now pies on the other hand..

[tardy dagger]

They would indeed hurt a fly

[faint dawn]

That or final boss einar
Didnt offer him enough shiney pebbles.

[bright forge]

You are already making me proud the way you are.

[heavy dew]

Awwwww

[tardy dagger]

Does anyone know if Xrystal got their invite? 👀

[bright forge]

I think she did not.

[fallen summit]

it seems she didn't

[tardy dagger]

[bright forge]

Next time for sure.

[heavy dew]

The owls lost the mail again..

Damn owls!

[faint dawn]

Who who?

looks at mail
Who???

[heavy dew]

You’re a hoot @faint dawn

[bright forge]

I need to have owl in Palia 100%

[heavy dew]

Wasn’t there an owl on one of the mailbox designs? That bodes well!

[tardy dagger]

But, can you pet the owl?

[timid prism]

say please

[bright forge]

Imagine you can train owl to send letters and packages away from mail box

[faint dawn]

I like looking up videos of owls.

Sleepy ones are cute.

[heavy dew]

Owls are so cute.. I rewatched the Croods the other day and the OwlLeopard.. omg so adorable

[faint dawn]

I loved the parrot one

Actually videos of cokatoos give me life.. espically the one who likes heavy metal.

[heavy dew]

But have you seen “Kiwi and his goth girlfriend”?

(The birds, that is)

[bright forge]

👀

[heavy dew]

It’s so adorable.. and the update of that is now goth wife and they got half goth babies.. makes a grown man cry it’s so beautiful

[faint dawn]

Ill put this in other chit chat

[remote latch]

ok ... shopping sorted .. and ... morning everyone

[bright forge]

Morning. Xrystal we lost one member of under bridge crew.

[remote latch]

I know .. grats Berry 🙂

[heavy dew]

I feel like saying sorry but I don’t know for what

[summer obsidian]

See!? The immense guilt I've been feeling, haha

[remote latch]

not your fault that you got picked out of the hat by the randomiser 🙂

[summer obsidian]

Congrats!!

[heavy dew]

You weren’t kidding, it set in instantly

[bright forge]

Don't say sorry You getting Alpha is one of the greatest news in a while for me.

[summer obsidian]

I'm here to tell you, it's in your head. Everyone is happy for you.

[heavy dew]

You’re too sweet.. truly

[heavy dew]

Glad I’m not first haha

[bright forge]

One thing that makes me sad is poor Wippit.

[remote latch]

alas poor Wippit .. his prose will ignite us 🙂

[heavy dew]

Oh wippit.. ❤️

[summer obsidian]

Since Passion and Wippit have already rearranged their living room for Passion's privacy, although he is prob upset he didn't get in, at least he doesn't have to lift everything to rearrange again, haha

[heavy dew]

That’s kinda cute though

[remote latch]

ah thats good at least .. I would have had things better off with me and mum as she is downstairs and I am upstairs rofl

[bright forge]

Hey Berry does anyone of ART also have Alpha? I mean from our list I only remember Milky having it.

[heavy dew]

Ehm there’s a couple, some were in pre-alpha as well

[summer obsidian]

And now that Berry's here, he'll probably recruit many more 😛

[bright forge]

Then if Neighbourhoods are in game you can make ART official thing.

[heavy dew]

I’m gonna snipe it so fast, for I am Cherry Allen! Fastest Berry alive!

[bright forge]

You are for sure firend.

[tardy dagger]

Are you the tastiest one though? 😋

[modern bridge]

making breakfast, then imma pickup a package~

[heavy dew]

The most terrified

[bright forge]

Now I need new vote or info about something NEW and I will be happy in 100%

[remote latch]

🤞 hopefully Monday will be the start of a new voting cycle 🙂

or the following week if they need time to process the new alpha people

[bright forge]

Yes they need to process a lot more floks than in pre-Alpha.

[remote latch]

'whats the first rule of Alpha' ... there is no alpha ... ''whats the second rule of alpha' .. don't talk about alpha ... rofl

[plain hound]

mooorrrniiiinnnggg

[bright forge]

[plain hound]

how the Xrystal cult going on? Are we ready to do the firsts sacrifices?

[remote latch]

rofl .. I was hoping you'd forget about that

[bright forge]

[remote latch]

Odd-Ball said he was praying for me to get in .. and it was misread as praying to me .rofl so I went from cult deity to cult leader in 5 seconds rofl

[heavy dew]

Stuff like that happens reaaaal quick haha

[bright forge]

Tbh Xrystal cultists wold look really cool. Crystal masks and staffs made from crystal.

[brisk notch]

Happy timezone all

[edgy cradle]

peekaboo

[remote latch]

hi guys

[fallen summit]

All hail Xrystal the allknowing

[remote latch]

hmm The Bard and the Bookworm .... story mode rofl

[bright forge]

Nice to see couples here to be honest.

[edgy cradle]

Ohhh talking of storymode!

[remote latch]

you read a book ?

[edgy cradle]

I have a story for you that I wrote within couple of minutes while being bored at work

[plain hound]

Then I imagine just how It would just go allDown the drain
cultists: Our deity demand sacrifice!!!!
Xrystal : no no no no no!
cultists: this sacrifice is deemed unworthy!!! bring in your firsts borns!!!
Xrystal: NOOOOO

[edgy cradle]

I will put it to #🎨│artistry

[remote latch]

cool 🙂

[remote latch]

yep, you got me pegged

[brisk notch]

He would never read a book. If he was ever to read one I would start to believe that he got abducted by aliens and replaced with someone else
