I had a thought just now, that some time in the Cavern whilst events are quiet could be put to good use: Age Assistants!

We’ve all needed them at one point or another (or at least to not-so-very-stubborn of us have ;) ), so why not work on a few documents that can be written under the ideal of, “here’s a few notes to get you through this Age.”

I don’t think we need to go to the point of writing all-out walkthroughs or spoilers for each individual Age, though if someone were to do that, I don’t see why we wouldn’t post it.

I’m curious to see what everyone else thinks on this. So…comment away!

Winter Holidays of Renaissance Europe
A Cavern Choir concert

Sunday, December 16, 2007
2:00pm EST / 7:00pm GMT
Eder Delin, GameBoomer’s Bevin

The Renaissance saw an explosion of innovation in all of the fine arts, music chief among them. Composers across Europe explored new expressive possibilities and created exquisite music for their patrons, for their nation, and for their faith. The Cavern Choir presents songs from the period both familiar and rarely performed, in celebration of the winter holidays. Our selection ranges across the European continent, displaying diverse musical styles and traditions, and represents the three major faith traditions for which choral music was written during the period: Catholicism, Protestantism, and Judaism. Come join us as we bring holiday cheer to the Cavern with our rich sound and exciting repertoire! Reserve your ticket now for a concert not to be missed!

Some reviews of our debut concert, A Lover’s Complaint:

“The choir certainly brings ‘class’ to the Cavern!”

“In terms of the singers’ talent, the performance was impervious to harm!”

“That was absolutely amazing. When I started listening to it, my mom had my little sister pause a movie so they could listen too.”

Reserve your ticket before December 12! We look forward to seeing you at our concerts!

My main system recently suffered a hard drive failure. The thing that gets me about hard drive failures is that they appear to be inevitable. You get a new drive, and wonder, “How long will THIS one last?” Of course, you never properly back up your data anyway, since your new drive will inevitably be much larger than the last one, and you’d have to get another to fit everything you’re going to have to back up. So goes the cycle.

So, after a surprising amount of frustrations involving attempts to recover the dead drive’s files, I’m finally succeeding in installing XP again. However, until I can recover files off of my old drive, all my age building work is gone, along with plenty of other stuff.

Last I checked, my GameTap account has lapsed as well, and my renewal at this point, will depend on either an announcement regarding a new season, or some sort of highly interesting player event. (Or, I may just want in again. ;) )

Anyway, I’ll be busy restoring my computer related things to some semblance of normal for a while, so just letting everyone know what’s up.

[...]“Under the Roots!” is a party for all Uru explorers.

Up On the Roof! Returns, as Under the Roots!
August 24 in Uru Live’s Watcher’s Pub.
Start time is 8PM Eastern, 6PM Cavern, 5PM Pacific.

Getting there: We use the Watcher’s Sanctuary now because there’s no easy public access to the Tokotah Rooftop. Go to the Maintainer’s Nexus from any Nexus terminal or the book in your Relto. In the intial display you’ll see a list of City locations, with the Watcher’s Pub near the bottom of the list. Click the name, push the Nexus button that pops up and then use the book.[...]
