Greetings from Fan Faire!(6)

Hi everyone!

The first day is off to a great start! Elias and I are rocking the registration table (Virrago is at the other end) and we’ve talked to hundreds of excited players ready to get Fan Faire underway. We’ve seen a ton of familiar faces and it’s great to catch up with Star Wars Galaxies players that we met last year! The Legends Lounge is also hopping as players and devs chat with each other and log in to Star Wars Galaxies and the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game.

If this first day is any indication, this year’s Faire is going to be bigger and better than last year. I hope to meet you if you’re here in Vegas, and if you couldn’t make it, we’ll do our best to keep you up to date on all the happenings!

Wer kommt zur Fan Faire 2008 in Las Vegas?(12)

Hallöchen zusammen,

ganz kurz als Vorstellung: ich bin Eovania, die deutschsprachige Community Betreuerin. Zur Zeit betreue ich die Spiele EQII, Vanguard, PlanetSide und Legends of Norrath.

Letztes Jahr gab es ein paar deutschsprachige Spieler welche sich auf den Weg nach Las Vegas aufmachten. Es wäre toll wenn wir uns alle an einem bestimmten Tag/Zeit dieses Jahr auf der Fan Faire treffen könnten um zu sehen wie viele aus dem deutschsprachigem Raum teilnehmen! SMILEY

Meldet euch hier im Forum und sendet mir eine E-mail mit dem Betreff (Spiel) Fan Faire 2008 (Land), stellt euch kurz vor und gebt mir bescheid von wann bis wann ihr ca. dort seid.

Ich hoffe wir bekommen ein paar Leute zusammen, aus EQII haben bereits ein paar zugesagt. SMILEY

@ all: This thread is meant for German speaking players; I asked who is going to attend this years Fan Faire. Please refrain from posting here if you are not part of the German speaking community (1 semester of German doesn't count SMILEY) Thanks for your co-operation. 

The Puzzler 8/13/08(10)

Welcome to this week’s The Puzzler!

What is The Puzzler? 

It’s an image from somewhere inside the Star Wars Galaxies world.  But it’s broken into several puzzle pieces – and you only get to see a few at a time until someone here on the message board correctly identifies the location depicted in the picture!

What do I get for solving The Puzzler? 

If you are the first one to figure out the ‘mystery location’ by posting it in The Puzzler thread, you will hereby get bestowed upon you the forum title “Puzzler” along with the cool Puzzler icon.

There is only one winner a week so you have to be quick!

The Puzzler “Rules”

An individual can only win The Puzzler once, so if you’ve already won, please step aside and let others try their hand at it.

After the first set of puzzle pieces are posted, location guesses only will be allowed in the thread until after The Puzzler has been solved.  Please don’t clutter the thread up by discussing anything else within it until the game is over.  After it is, you can discuss The Puzzler to your heart’s content…but until that time, anyone posting anything other than a location in the thread will have their post removed.

You must be the first person to post the in-game location of the image within 50 units of where the image was taken (for example if the image was taken at 500, -500 and you posted 525, -450 you would be correct).

In the event that 2 people post at the same time on the message board (and the time stamp reflects this), whoever guessed the location within the closest amount of units will be the winner!
 
Posting Guesses:

Please post The Puzzler guesses in the following format:

Planet: <planet name>
Location: 500,-500
