HoloNet Links

HoloNet Links #14

Another week is almost over and means one week closer to launch! That also means it is time for this week’s HoloNet Links. We had a pretty busy week, two separate sets of Beta invites went out. This is welcome news after the email mistake had some upset. We found out that a player can find more than five companion characters, and the HoloNet Links introduces a new section, Georg’s Goodies. It follows the posts of lead combat designer, Georg Zoeller. One of the posts is lengthy, but it deals with classes and their roles and has lots of important information.

I would like to take a moment before we go int the links, and remember Steve Jobs. He passed away yesterday, October 5th, 2011, after losing his battle with cancer. Thanks Mr. Jobs for all the innovations you gave the world, and showing us to always think outside the box.

Episode 28: JJ vs. Carla

Jul 112011

I Can Haz Day/Night?

Discuss this episode on the forums here.

Roxanne is sick this week, but we have JJ from TOROcast to fill the third seat and make sure we never go under an hour! We’re feeling feisty this week and we have several lively debates on everything from how much you need to know about the game before the game, whether companions should be money-making machines, and whether day/night cycles are necessary in MMOs.

FACT OR FICTION: Can you pick out the confirmed fact from the tall tales? This week’s host challenge involves the beta testing invites. Continue reading »
