BETA IS OVER - SEE YOU ALL IN LIVE

Events

End-of-Beta Bonfire Party!

Woot!!! This event was a huge sucess!!!! We lots of fireworks and tons of people. Many things were given away at the drop party b4 the fire was lit and Pharaoh even came for a few minutes to check it out. About 5 minutes b4 the lighting we even crashed the server, or at least many of us got disconnected. It's an hour and 1/2 after the lighting and b4 the servers went down the bonfire was still not even close to being burnt out, tho a fwe ppl tried to put it out with water, but were unsucessful (the flame only got realy dim, then came back after a few minutes). a couple fights brokw out over beetles too, it got pretty ugly!! :-) I have lots of screenshots to for any1 who wants to host them on a site. The biggest bonfire in all the beta world may still be going, I will check when the servers come back up and give an update on how long the flames will last!!!!!! Thanks all to those who brought more wood and fireworks, and all the goodies that ppl dropped!!! Hope to see you all in live!!!

Update: The fire stayed lit for 3 1/2 hours!!!!!

There are Watermelons! Talk with one of the FilePlanet subscribers. They're a kind of fruit/veggie seed.

Seed secrets: All seed secrets have been removed/changed. New secrets have not been deciphered yet.

Remember, this is Beta, not live, and with chariot stops we'd be well served to put aside regional differences and open techs at one place (except of course those which give gifts like seeds). This will let us climb the tech ladder faster and test some of the advanced technologies more thoroughly.

Let's coordinate those on the tech link below, list those techs where a particular region is close.

Also please visit Feature Requests to list bugs or to mention a feature that you think would make Tale 2 more enjoyable.
