Also, I summed up some of the more pertinent points in the Editorials thus far (sorry it's so long, I really did sum it up):
17th June
Could you maybe combine the supporter and warrior role into one?
Hmm... That is interesting. Maybe this is something we would do in the next war. Also, to change things up a little you will not be given the option to choose sides in the next war, you will all unite and fight together!
1st September
Lenny Conundrum
This weeks Lenny conundrum offered the chance to win Pyramid Painting Vol. 7: Faux Finishes... interestingly the scroll doesn't seem to be one of the 12 we had found.
2nd September
This plot we are doing something different, you will not be able to choose sides, but you will earn points that can be redeemed for great prizes. One way will be through fighting, but that is just one of many...
Why in plots are Uni's nameless steeds who never talk?
Oh this one is very different
This Uni has real character as you will see later on
I was wondering if you were going to update the Sakhmet Palace featuring the Lost Desert Plot characters?
Yes, in fact the whole Lost Desert map will be changing quite drastically very soon. Muahahahahaha!
16th September
Just wondering if the Lost Desert Plot will be super-ultra-extra hard to solve? And could you tell us a little insight on what will the main solving quality be? (i.e. battle,puzzles) We are hoping it will be super-ultra-extra hard to solve. Its hard to make a puzzle with millions of people working to solve it though, I am sure some people will get certain parts easily. The parts really are quite varied, and you just need to figure out what you have to do to progress.
22nd September
Are you going to release a sidebar with the Lost Desert Plot?
Erm… sidebar? What gave you that idea? Yes, we are hoping to! It's still in the works though, so no promises as of yet, but it is our intention to release one if we can. Shhh…
30th September
Because you have dedicated a WHOLE day to the Nightsteed is there going to be a nightsteed avatar?
Ohh, he *would* make a cool avatar, wouldn't he? Perhaps we didn't release one because we have other plans for an avatar with his likeness… *shifty eyes*
Are there going to be parts where it's advantageous to be amongst the first to do something, and in particular will there be a prize at the end that there'sa race to get?
We're trying.
Anyway, without giving too much away, we'll say that we are keeping track of every piece of the puzzle each person completes. There are certain stages where completing things first will earn you more points than someone who completed it much later, but in general, the more of the puzzle you complete as a whole, the greater the reward will be at the end.
