My guess the E3 announcements contest...

[marct]

Yes, this is for real, and I get to guess first!!! I will be awarding the closest 2 answers with Supreme Bucklers Q190 or Q200 if I get there in time. It seems from some intel we have gathered there will be 2 announcements. I will be the judge, if it is close, I will ask a party that is uninvolved and aware to judge. I get to guess first though. Please be serious otherwise, you are out of the running.

1. Announcement of new race and continent.

2. Announcement of the ability for players to create maps of areas.



Noin.

No need to argue, a few mins after the teaser I said this as well. Great minds thinking alike?

Now a short off topic. What teaser ?

I thought weeks ago about custom maps. But who checks that you do not plant q250 supreme in your graden in front of the veranda ?

I meant the announcement of the announcement, it has a player-generated-content air all over it. And the tool will check, cause you cant plant mats

...... cause you cant plant mats

Farms at your outposts have been discussed in Focus Beta

Should there be a limit on guesses so people don't spam 100 possible things?

Since you have 2, I'll do 2:

1 - New skill tree relating to taming/controlling/breeding animals

2 - Tools for players to create missions and/or events

Announcement will contain the new Expansion including new Race, Planet and Skills. Release End of 2005. Thats my guess.

[marct]

Yes, ONLY 2 guesses per person as there are 2 expected announcements.

[trenker]

My 2 guesses...

1 - New NPC race (or variant of Kami/Karavan) invades Atys and Roots. We get these intelligent creatures as invasions, instead of dumb kittins. I base this on the comment that someone, somehwere is after the 'Ryzom'.

2 - A new skill tree to do with combat/fighting/magic but most likely Techno Tree for skills/fighting. I base this on the recent amber pieces that are said to hold the key to 'new powerfull stuff'.

I dont think its a new player race cos thats too much work. Nor is it a new map cos that's just not very novel or clever enough for E3.

1/ The opening of the Core and/or Canopee areas (lvl 300 regions?)

2/ lvl 300 additions to the skill tree

I think these are unlikely tbh but the best options have already been said :/ (soooo obvious its gonna be the coloured panties mentioned in the other thread )
