I sometimes wonder what Borneo says in chat that I wish I'd been around to read. I figure other people might see some things like this, too, and be willing to help me find out what they are. So I'm starting this thread so people who want to help each other keep up on Borneo's interesting chat comments have a place to post what they see.

Here's a bit he said today:

[2] 06:45 Borneo[C.]: will lead into some other things
[2] 06:44 C4LV1N[SWC]: What's wrong with dino fighting that it needs updating?
[2] 06:43 Borneo[C.]: getting close on the dino combat updates

I was wondering how long it would be before someone thought of this

The most exciting totally is:

[2] 07:16 Borneo[C.]: if you move the old ones I will sort them out
[2] 07:16 Borneo[C.]: oh damn - choob
[2] 07:22 Borneo[C.]: that wasnt an important note for the forum...just cleaning up some tickets that I should address personally

oh and then there is...
[2]07:26 Borneo[C.]: huge spiders coming soon

[2]07:54 Borneo[C.]: I do know there are a lot of things coming
[2]07:55 Borneo[C.]: I am hoping to start Easter planning next week
[2]07:55 Borneo[C.]: right after the other update I have been working on

[2]23:56 Borneo[C.]: no you cant buy the game Sub
[2]23:56 Subman[Cloud]: Told u it's a good day to be me I'm having fun lol
[2]23:57 Subman[Cloud]: What's your plan of attack then born to increase players? And how long have u owned the game?
[2]23:57 Borneo[C.]: almost a year and nothing happens here fast
[2]23:58 Subman[Cloud]: Ain't that the truth, sure your doing a good job everyone seems happy
[2]23:58 Borneo[C.]: for now my plan is to keep the game running and slowly work on the fixes and updates
[2]23:59 Borneo[C.]: Ill worry about new players when the old players have something to stick around for
[2]23:59 Eric[CLEAN]: We appreciate your work
[2]00:00 Subman[Cloud]: Now that sounds good.. Old players will always be around though
[2]00:00 SpellBinder[CLEAN]: sweet new items and fixes sounds like an even mix for a solid fix
[2]00:00 Borneo[C.]: true but there are so many things that have been capped out
[2]00:01 Borneo[C.]: our highest skillers simply dont have any challenges
[2]00:01 Borneo[C.]: I think we are roughly 2-3 levels of work that need to be caught up
[2]00:02 SpellBinder[CLEAN]: there should be bigger jumps for godly items in resource gathering
[2]00:02 Borneo[C.]: bigger fish, bigger ore, bigger seds, missing items, etc
[2]00:02 Subman[Cloud]: will never keep up with outright skillets though.. And smiths haven't kept up anyway
[2]00:02 SpellBinder[CLEAN]: like 150 level axe and than a 275 upgrade or something
[2]00:02 Sweet_Thing[TLO]: what are seds :o
[2]00:02 Treve[Nox]: More booze
[2]00:02 SpellBinder[CLEAN]: like you cap out, than ten years later your a master
[2]00:02 Borneo[C.]: >.<

[2] 00:21 Borneo[C.]: I am not making a big deal about the birthday this year because there are plans to incorporate birthday and transfer of ownership into one celebration
[2] 00:22 Borneo[C.]: this new island will help the coder to establish an easy way to introduce new islands and locations going forward
[2] 00:23 Borneo[C.]: so, because we want all the set-up done correctly to make it easier going forward, dont expect it soon...may just have to come when it comes

[2] 10:10 Borneo[C.]: I will say this though...its almost a year since I bought the game and I am as excited as when I bought it
[2] 10:10 Taze[CFH]: like 6 headaches born.. should invest in some tylenol for him
[2] 10:09 Jeffreyj[Pond]: Well I look forward to what that will be then
[2] 10:09 Borneo[C.]: coder is already indicating many headaches I am creating with that one
[2] 10:08 Borneo[C.]: I cant say how long that update will take but there is going to be a massive sink for many over-stocked items coming
[2] 10:07 Jeffreyj[Pond]: haha alright
[2] 10:07 Borneo[C.]: oh...and rocks
[2] 10:07 Borneo[C.]: probably gp in some capacity
[2] 10:06 Borneo[C.]: I would say if I was saving up anything it would be wood, broken glass, steel and iron bars
[2] 10:05 Borneo[C.]: concept and drop rates and such all worked out

[2] 10:15 Borneo[C.]: WARNING:

[2] 10:16 Borneo[C.]: I will not be warning about new creatures for those of you that afk combat

[2] 10:16 Borneo[C.]: they will just show up one day and surprise you

Given the title of this thread, I expected the thread to be completely empty.

Read from bottom to top; I cleared out some of the lines I thought were less relevant; others I left in for context, or just because I enjoyed them:

[2] 22:16 Borneo[C.]: remember, I have been a mod that long
[2] 22:16 Acnologia[oA=]: I has a long record :3
[2] 22:16 Kunzite[TLO]: thats a good idea kari i think
[2] 22:16 Borneo[C.]: the same players that had long records back then have long records now Kari
[2] 22:15 Kunzite[TLO]: bad i mean
[2] 22:15 Karisade[TSoH]: It was when everyone's punishment record got wiped to encourage players to start again with a fresh attitude
[2] 22:15 Kunzite[TLO]: gad boyu sean
[2] 22:15 Acnologia[oA=]: I like my dirty slate, the dirtier it is, the heavier, means i can bludgeon people with it
[2] 22:14 Acnologia[oA=]: Kari that sounds dangerous
[2] 22:14 Karisade[TSoH]: remember when M2H did the clean slate?
[2] 22:14 Karisade[TSoH]: I think we should have a 'clean slate' day
[2] 22:13 Acnologia[oA=]: mind you, you just busted my logical unit with your logic, so i have no idea if its logical
[2] 22:13 Kunzite[TLO]: plus im nosey, i lkke to see what other are chatting about lol
[2] 22:13 Acnologia[oA=]: it saves time and energy and lets you focus, only logical
[2] 22:13 MissMarley: keyboard bullies are the worse .. ruins things for everyone else
[2] 22:13 Acnologia[oA=]: That's a better option, you apparently have little time, that you're consuming by complaining about a few people, so just remove them
[2] 22:13 Kunzite[TLO]: thats ok but if ur in a clan that quiet that wold be hard
[2] 22:13 Prometheus[TSoH]: Devil's advocate here, what if the obstructionists are staff.
[2] 22:13 MissMarley: I feel bad that poor Born can't enjoy his own game, all because of a small handful of discontents
[2] 22:12 Count Chocula[CLEAN]: makes em feel big
[2] 22:12 Dawnare[TSoH]: he could just make it so we only have clan chat till he gets things resolved
[2] 22:12 Count Chocula[CLEAN]: not everyone, kunzite. some like to mess with the majority
[2] 22:12 Borneo[C.]: I can simply eliminate obstructionists form the game
[2] 22:11 Karisade[TSoH]: I think most of us do want the updates to go ahead asap
[2] 22:11 Borneo[C.]: well I do have another option and Im fine with using it...
[2] 22:11 Count Chocula[CLEAN]: lol
[2] 22:11 Kunzite[TLO]: why would it count, ? everyone want progress
[2] 22:11 Acnologia[oA=]: my logical unit is now malfunctioning due to the logic
[2] 22:11 Treve[~AE~]: You need a second in command Born, get woody to help that slacker does nothing
[2] 22:11 Acnologia[oA=]: So this is a complaint about 1 or two people, taking up your time that you just said you spend dealing with this?
[2] 22:10 Borneo[C.]: if this is how you want me using the time, I think its a waste and we cant get the other stuff done
[2] 22:10 Count Chocula[CLEAN]: if you tell them they are holding up progress, it will only encourage them
[2] 22:10 Borneo[C.]: I have a few hours a day I can fully dedicate to the game
[2] 22:10 Karisade[TSoH]: Do you know how I got these scars?
[2] 22:09 Count Chocula[CLEAN]: some people just want to watch the world burn
[2] 22:09 Cast[Choob]: Make chat a free-for-all
[2] 22:08 Borneo[C.]: because of this the changes that are ready to go arent getting rolled out
[2] 22:08 Acnologia[oA=]: tbh, i hadn't even noticed the rules being relaxed, seemed the same old to me
[2] 22:08 Borneo[C.]: every day I spend 2-3 hours dealing with messages and tickets that have to do with chat
[2] 22:08 Treve[~AE~]: *Shakes finger like a head teacher*
[2] 22:07 Borneo[C.]: if you all want to go back to extremely rigid rules enforced to the letter then by all means continue
[2] 22:07 Prometheus[TSoH]: not me Borneo. I would never test them.
[2] 22:06 Borneo[C.]: Im getting pretty tired of the ridiculous back and forth
[2] 22:06 Acnologia[oA=]: Lax? you tell funny joke, tell another!]
[2] 22:06 Borneo[C.]: a lot of you feel the need to "test out" Borneos more lax chat rules recently
[2] 22:06 Kunzite[TLO]: lol silly billyh marley
[2] 22:05 Karisade[TSoH]: Attention please! *blows whistle*
[2] 22:05 MissMarley: I;m too poor to pay anything, but I'll listen
[2] 22:05 Kunzite[TLO]: all ears
[2] 22:05 Acnologia[oA=]: Not that it matters, we still have a chat where the rules are for kids, so the age limit is pointless
[2] 22:05 Borneo[C.]: so since a bunch of peeps are around you may want to pay attention...
[2] 22:02 Borneo[C.]: FYI Subman was muted for a bit for one of his comments...a bit over the top
[2] 22:02 Borneo[C.]: I see we still feel a need to push the envelope...

[2] 08:58 Borneo[C.]: only hint I will give is that the first new monsters will be a new elf and a new ogre as described in Legendarium

[2]01:43 Borneo[C.]: all good...I see the coder dropped some new options out there

I think these are what he was referring to, on the How to support Syrnia ? -> Purchase premium points page:

500	Event list is ordered (Edited via options)
250	Check what is planted at your farms in the stats pop up
500	Check the date and time each crop was planted
250	Disable SH messages from chat
250	Be able to mass message (Separate names with comma. To send mass messages to the whole clan use [CLAN] instead (requires permission))

[2]01:59 Borneo[C.]: just for the record be careful afk fighting ogres and elves at their sites after the next ogre/elven wars

(Bottom up)

[6] 04:15 (Mod)Moderator: yes I know when...no on lvl 200 fishing in a cave
[6] 04:15 (Mod)Moderator: yes and no
[6] 04:14 craftmeister[TAG]: I hope lvl 200 fish is added to caves as a spawmn like high lvl ores

[2] 02:13 Borneo[C.]: dino meat drops are more in line with dragons now
[2] 02:12 Borneo[C.]: cave 4 has already started getting some changes
[2] 02:11 Cast[Choob]: *Ponders what is first, cave 4 or Easter*
[2] 02:11 Borneo[C.]: once the cave 4 update is completed I will start on the next things...Easter is just around the corner
[2] 02:10 Karisade[TSoH]: I wouldn't say a year... more like 525600 minutes
[2] 02:10 craftmeister[TAG]: 😲
[2] 02:10 Borneo[C.]: pirates will need it first
[2] 02:09 Borneo[C.]: Cast - it will be a while but it IS coming
[2] 02:07 Cast[Choob]: When am I getting rid of all this broken glass, Born?
[2] 02:01 Borneo[C.]: several will pop up soonish smeagol
[2] 02:01 m00nfire[~LS~]: the effect of vodka is a very good one born ;)
[2] 02:01 Smeagol[Turbo]: new creature?
[2] 01:58 Borneo[C.]: ogre/elven invasions are being held back by admin for "something bigger" in the works

Edited on 13-03-2017 04:26

]07:56 Borneo[C.]: dinos no longer drop 2, 5 or 6 saurus meat...they now drop 10, 15 or 20

Read bottom to top.

[2] 09:01 SirBatfink[Snake]: leave my hide alone
[2] 09:01 Borneo[C.]: oh...did I mention pirates should be holding onto bathides as well?
[2] 09:01 Thorne[=A=]: really cool
[2] 09:00 Borneo[C.]: ...but other than that, nothing new
[2] 09:00 Borneo[C.]: I have messed up and other cave 4 adds are delayed because we gotta get to work on Easter
[2] 09:00 Borneo[C.]: couple new options, changes to meat in cave 4...
[2] 08:59 Celebi[CLEAN]: That's fun.
[2] 08:59 Borneo[C.]: heya Thorne
[2] 08:58 Thorne[=A=]: hey Borneo, whats new?

[2] 22:19 Borneo[C.]: some of you need professional help

7:21 Borneo[C.]: *cleans hands*
[2]07:21 Borneo[C.]: there...lets see how that works
[2]07:21 Onslaught[(WAR)]: who doesnt want to sit around a smoker and drink?
[2]07:21 ShatterStar[Pond]: Hunt them onslaught, there is plenty of them on my property in the mountains.
[2]07:21 Onslaught[(WAR)]: ill drink and smoke all day m/
[2]07:22 Bakaris[CFH]: ohh lawd now you fullas have made Borny hungry
[2]07:22 Onslaught[(WAR)]: well nobody died here
[2]07:22 Onslaught[(WAR)]: so looking ok so far borneo
[2]07:23 Borneo[C.]: wonder who will see what I did first...lol

[2]08:28 Solunar[Choob]: Borneo Anything new and exciting?
[2]08:29 Borneo[C.]: not today...just cleaning up some things
[2]08:29 Borneo[C.]: I was busy most of the day
[2]08:29 Solunar[Choob]: Fair enough
[2]08:29 MayContainNuts: *wonders why borneo dosnt change it from (Guide) TO (King)
[2]08:29 Solunar[Choob]: ^
[2]08:30 Borneo[C.]: we did fix the farming page in the manual though...will be fully repaired soon
[2]08:30 Solunar[Choob]: What was wrong with it?
[2]08:30 Borneo[C.]: because when Im in Chat 5 Im a guide, not King
[1]08:30 Toffy has logged in
[2]08:31 Borneo[C.]: the pics of planted, grown and spoiled were in the wrong format
[2]08:31 Borneo[C.]: little thing but needed fixing
[2]08:31 Solunar[Choob]: and what's still wrong with it?
[2]08:32 Borneo[C.]: the pics are the old pictures before we changed formatting...I want everything uniformed
[2]08:32 Solunar[Choob]: Ahh :o

[2] 03:57 Borneo[C.]: other skills have new tools being made and have to be tested in dev site before they can be implemented
[2] 03:56 Borneo[C.]: so with regard to updates, I can work on drops, and drop rates without involving the coder...they run at my pace
[2] 03:56 MissMarley: see? combat has tools, but other skills have toools! so other skills obviously have more buttons for Born to play with lol
[2] 03:56 Borneo[C.]: other skills do not have such toools and they are being designed
[2] 03:55 Borneo[C.]: combat has quick tools that I have access to
[2] 03:55 Borneo[C.]: pretty sure I have mentioned this but in case some have missed it...

[2] 05:26 Borneo[C.]: after all, when I mute Cast, who could he complain to...me???
[2] 05:25 Borneo[C.]: to do so I dont think its appropriate for me to mod
[2] 05:25 Borneo[C.]: I only oversee controversial issues as the final say on resolving player-mod issues
[2] 05:25 Borneo[C.]: I dont mod any more
[2] 05:24 Borneo[C.]: for those that dont understand the cryptic message and wonder what the hell is going on...
[2] 05:24 Borneo[C.]: rofl
[2] 05:21 Cast[Choob]: What kind of world do we live in? lol
[2] 05:20 Cast[Choob]: [6]05:19 (Mod)Moderator: once again, just to be very clear - I am not a mod

[2] 04:15 Foxy[~one~]: Will do hun
[2] 04:15 Borneo[C.]: Thx foxy 😊
[2] 04:15 Borneo[C.]: Please let people know I am not ignoring them and will get to questions when I can but things will be slow for a week
[2] 04:15 Foxy[~one~]: Good luck to him, hope they win
[2] 04:14 Borneo[C.]: Have to do everything from iPad or iPhone
[2] 04:14 Prometheus[TSoH]: heya Foxy, *hugs n stuff*
[2] 04:14 Borneo[C.]: I am at a tournament watching my son play soccer this week and will be hard to find
[2] 04:13 Panda[~one~]: Born is playing favorites
[2] 04:13 Foxy[~one~]: Evening Born *hugs*
[2] 04:13 Borneo[C.]: Need a little info spread around if you folks wouldn't mind
[2] 04:13 Borneo[C.]: Good. Three chatty cathy's all in chat

[2] 02:21 Borneo[C.]: just for everyone to understand along with some of the lesser ban hammers that have now taken place, the punishment during events will be much stronger
[2] 02:21 Borneo[C.]: I have informed the mods that those that create issues during events are to be locked out for the duration of the events

[2]02:21 Borneo[C.]: just for everyone to understand along with some of the lesser ban hammers that have now taken place, the punishment during events will be much stronge
[2]02:21 Borneo[C.]: I have informed the mods that those that create issues during events are to be locked out for the duration of the events
[2]02:23 Subvene[-TMP-]: what is considered "creating issues"
[2]02:23 Acnologia[oA=]: What so if i thieve a bailer, you are gonna hit me with a ban hammer?
[2]02:23 Borneo[C.]: no Acno
[2]02:23 Treve[~AE~]: if you need to ask your probably on the short list
[2]02:26 Borneo[C.]: Im not interested in getting into a bunch of what if scenarios...simply put, if I don't like it we will see you on Tuesday after Easter

[2]21:20 Borneo[C.]: there is a new holiday island that will be in place someday but not this holiday

[2]08:08 Borneo[C.]: we did that after going sunrise boy-surfing at the same beach


I like surfing but what with the boys? xD

I lost the first part of this conversation from history before getting it copied, but we were talking about possible changes to how the NPC thieving worked, and one suggestion (I think it was from Dragosani) was that bailing might improve your chance of getting rewarded when the NPC moved. So my first line was one of the arguments about why that wouldn't be a good idea to implement (there were a couple other good reasons suggested before that); read from bottom to top.

[2] 20:29 Borneo[C.]: perhaps thats because some items may disappear
[2] 20:29 DAZE[TSoH]: and drop rates! im getting wayy too much borneo
[2] 20:29 Onslaught[(WAR)]: 20 seeds some eggplants and eggs
[2] 20:28 Borneo[C.]: rabid bunnies are low
[2] 20:27 Borneo[C.]: one other thing that will hopefully be addressed is the chests at Quest locations
[2] 20:27 SirDiesAlot[TSoH]: Used to have them for low level new people i believe
[2] 20:27 SirDiesAlot[TSoH]: I was wondering where the creature bugs went this easter around
[2] 20:26 Borneo[C.]: now that the 3 holiday NPC have been addressed and the monsters are balanced we will deal with another issue - like too many garnety being given away
[2] 20:26 MissMarley: Born .. feed the bunny an extra carrot so I can get a basket lol
[2] 20:25 Borneo[C.]: my 2 main concerns for this event were update some of the NPC stuff and add the bunnies to make it comparable to other holidays
[2] 20:25 king1104[Seek]: Fix one thing, break three, move on to the next. << That's how real programming works.
[2] 20:24 Borneo[C.]: fix one thing, move onto the next
[2] 20:24 Borneo[C.]: not everything can be addressed in one cycle - we just dont have the manpower (or womanpower)
[2] 20:23 Borneo[C.]: if you got something on remer just now you shouldnt be able to get something on Skull this round
[2] 20:23 SirDiesAlot[TSoH]: Ah that explains stuff, thanks for that info. Will save some time
[2] 20:23 SirDiesAlot[TSoH]: ^
[2] 20:23 Borneo[C.]: unless you are just trying to steal stuff yes
[2] 20:22 Gargonite[TSoH]: for others
[2] 20:22 Gargonite[TSoH]: so if you get a prize you should stop ? ie if you get one on serp and it goes skull you should leave it ?
[2] 20:22 C4LV1N[SWC]: I see--makes sense to add those criteria, I suppose, and I could see how they could introduce some subtle bugs, too.
[2] 20:21 Borneo[C.]: all I could do was monitor the location
[2] 20:21 Skyte[O.G.]: They are like raisins born
[2] 20:21 Borneo[C.]: unfortunately after I got an item in dev I couldnt continue to test Bunny droppings
[2] 20:20 MissMarley: I would be happy to get 1 item at least, but I don't think I have the luck so many multiple winners have lol
[2] 20:20 Borneo[C.]: see one of the issues was some new criteria was added - you cant win at back to back spots and the bunny cant return to the same island back to back
[2] 20:20 C4LV1N[SWC]: I'm happy to chase the Easter bunny just for the easter eggs I get from walking--but I wouldn't mind getting a bunny suit out of it, too...
[2] 20:20 DAZE[TSoH]: C4 you need more cheese for your wine broski
[2] 20:19 Borneo[C.]: no, thats just normal whining C4L...lol
[2] 20:19 C4LV1N[SWC]: Thanks--so that means only about 3 of my 19 hours of my chasing and getting nothing really counts for complaining now.
[2] 20:18 Skyte[O.G.]: w/c
[2] 20:18 Borneo[C.]: the 3-person giveaway is fully in effect now
[2] 20:18 Skyte[O.G.]: thief!
[2] 20:18 Dragosani[Wino]: I look amazing in these bunny legs
[2] 20:18 Gargonite[TSoH]: so its fixed now ?
[2] 20:18 Borneo[C.]: thats why we started it early
[2] 20:18 Borneo[C.]: it was...and it had to do with some other fixes with the NPC system
[2] 20:17 Dash[C.]: *Follows Nao in chasing Borneo*
[2] 20:17 C4LV1N[SWC]: Borneo, you just started--chase for another 14 or 15 hours, and your complaints will have more weight!
[2] 20:17 Nao[-TMP-]: -chases borneo-
[2] 20:16 Borneo[C.]: *heads off to house and grabs his bunny suit*
[2] 20:16 C4LV1N[SWC]: Borneo, can you verify whether there was a bug earlier when there were people who had thieved and were at the location, but less than 3 were rewarded?
[2] 20:16 Borneo[C.]: fix!!! I never win >.<
[0] 20:16 The Easter Bunny was spotted hopping to Skull island.
[0] 20:16 Astiel got a Easter chick.
[0] 20:16 Leny got a Bunny legs.
[0] 20:16 Twitxhy got a Easter chick.
[0] 20:16 For their efforts in stealing The Easter Bunny's prized possessions, the following players were rewarded:
[2] 20:14 Borneo[C.]: let me help with that myth right now - its random
[2] 20:13 C4LV1N[SWC]: Or to players who have a moral objection to bribing jailors.
[2] 20:13 Gargonite[TSoH]: well no because unless it had a spending cap , ie spend 10k+ you could just Bail a 10 gp left person
[2] 20:12 SirDiesAlot[TSoH]: So bailing a person increases the chances then?
[2] 20:12 anitamoorehouse[CLEAN]: also would not be fair to smaller players that cant afford to bail others
[2] 20:11 Dragosani[Wino]: Another possability is I just want more bailers so I don't have to sit in jail for as long xD
[2] 20:10 C4LV1N[SWC]: Also, rewarding players for bailing that way wouldn't necessarily reward players who were being nice by bailing.

I should mention that borneo has mentioned there being THREE distinct holiday suits for each respective holiday, and some may be rarer than others.
There may be an island that opens on certain times on certain days (no idea what you do on it yet)
I would copy paste the original msg but it was 1 am last night and i have a final today so sleep > forum post

[2] 03:28 Borneo[C.]: so since Im here and I havent spoken about upcoming things in a while...Ill spout off some things
[2] 03:31 Borneo[C.]: gimme a sec and be patient...will tell about some new things coming
[2] 03:35 Borneo[C.]: missing bouquets are in the works...as well as resizing gladiolas and gardenias
[2] 03:36 Borneo[C.]: new ogre and elf will be here in the near future
[2] 03:36 Borneo[C.]: ...along with a couple items from them
[2] 03:37 Borneo[C.]: the new collectible set from the dinos will finally be complete and added
[2] 03:37 Borneo[C.]: well we have some technical issues involving the coders availability so you gotta gimme some slack
[2] 03:39 Maid Marian[New]: Honestly speaking, I do not combat. My choice in game. But all updates seem geared towards combat.
[2] 03:40 Borneo[C.]: thats simple hun...I have access tools for much of the combat stuff
[2] 03:40 Borneo[C.]: the other skills takes more time from the coder and I cant do it by myself
[2] 03:41 Borneo[C.]: yeah, I have lots planned and in the works but it takes time
[2] 03:42 Borneo[C.]: the pirate update is in the works but it will take time for all the new adds
[2] 03:43 Borneo[C.]: still need the coder to add new items, monsters
[2] 03:48 Borneo[C.]: I bet there is a major use for wood coming
[2] 03:48 Borneo[C.]: ...may take a year but its coming
[2] 03:55 Borneo[C.]: animals on farms probably wont happen...but if you havent noticed from holiday events I like collecting animals

[2] 03:56 Azronical: it wil probably never happened but it allways annoyed me that the skil screen isnt even on both sides missing one on the bottom right lmao
[2] 03:57 Borneo[C.]: funny you would say that Azro...bugs me too

Edited on 08-05-2017 04:01

[2]06:29 Borneo[C.]: I like southern accents...particularly from South Carolina

[2]08:50 Borneo[C.]: ...frees up my nights
[2]08:49 Borneo[C.]: there is good news in all this...Im taking the next several months off from refereeing soccer games for high school so I can work
[2]08:39 Borneo[C.]: just understand their location and who possesses them will be directly tracked by me
[2]08:39 Borneo[C.]: the guidelines are for those of us behind the screen, players need not know the details
[2]08:38 Borneo[C.]: they will be integrated into other pirate changes that will be coming but wont get into details until the whole project is ready
[2]08:37 Borneo[C.]: I have had long-standing plans to bring them back but I want it within guidelines that I can control
[2]08:36 Borneo[C.]: I locked up the pirate weapons release due to some cheating
[2]08:36 Borneo[C.]: just so we are clear and on the record...

Thank God

I'm not sure this was all Borneo, but after players started fighting the new Ogre and Elf, these lines were posted in red chat, with some additional commentary from Borneo:

[0]11:27 All new items have now been added for the new beasties
[0]11:27 Drops and drop rates have been altered on all ogres and elves
[0]11:28 These are all now in line with one another and make more sense to my simple mind
[0]11:29 I will give new drops to the guides after a week, along with updating manual on technical aspects asap
[2]11:29 JackGrimm[CFH]: [0]11:27 Drops and drop rates have been altered on all ogres and elves > Does this mean there are better drop rates?
[2]11:30 Borneo[C.]: some better, some worse for individual items
[2]11:31 Borneo[C.]: but the overall drop rate for elves was slightly (very slightly) increased)

[2] 09:26 Borneo[C.]: *starts working on the next project*

Not quite World chat:

[5] 08:59 Solunar[Choob]: How do you get positive fame? :L
[5] 08:59 Deedar[TAG]: Defeat pirate invasions
[5] 08:59 Solunar[Choob]: Ahh ok
[5] 08:59 (Guide)Borneo[C.]: kill Deedar
[5] 09:00 (Mod)Moderator: Warning: Game help chat is only for game related question, it is not for general conversation.
[2] 09:00 Borneo[C.]: *gets out of guide chat because thats not a proper answer*
[2] 09:00 Borneo[C.]: my bad...sorry folks
[2] 09:00 Deedar[TAG]: Im in the ols right now
[2] 09:00 Hells Bells[CFH]: LOL
[2] 09:01 Felix[AdC]: xD
[2] 09:01 Deedar[TAG]: 🤣
[2] 09:01 G Bob[TLO]: *takes 6 more and goes to OL*
[2] 09:01 Borneo[C.]: *deeply sighs*
[2] 09:01 Borneo[C.]: I really need to fire her
[2] 09:02 JackGrimm[CFH]: Just got a moonstone from Outpost
[2] 09:03 Bex[TLO]: you'd be too lost if you fired me.. who's hair would you pull?
[2] 09:03 G Bob[TLO]: She is doing her job .*kill Deedar..pfffff*

[2]09:58 Borneo[C.]: the whole game is messed up and clearly the owner isnt doing anything about it

[2]07:28 Borneo[C.]: good news is that I think Im pretty set for Christmas this year though
[2]07:28 Rajnish5622[Corps]: Wc
[2]07:28 Borneo[C.]: driving the coder crazy with all the stuff I have planned...lol
[2]07:28 JiveTurkey[CLEAN]: ugh cant wait
[2]07:28 Makhai[-TL-]: im ready for garnets to rain
[2]07:28 Panda[A.D.]: Borneo is mum?
[2]07:29 Borneo[C.]: better gather them up Mak...I bet the christmas prezzies and NPCs change their contents and drops in 2018
[2]07:29 Borneo[C.]: ...but thats just a guess



[2]07:49 Borneo[C.]: oh hell yes...ambers and moonies will be required for a upcoming magic upgrade...along with another gem

Edited on 18-11-2017 07:51

[2] 06:07 Borneo[C.]: *looks at new World Map and smiles*
[2] 06:08 Borneo[C.]: I know exactly where the new islands are going

[2] 06:18 Borneo[C.]: the two new shields (ogre and elf) had to be tested before release and that takes time
[2] 06:17 Borneo[C.]: I have quick access to drops and they are easy for me to personally work on...adding items with no functionality are also easy and quick
[2] 06:17 Borneo[C.]: much of the game has technical issues that need to be fixed or uodated...this delays their implementation
[2] 06:16 ShatterStar[Pond]: Its all about how you play it Hells
[2] 06:16 Borneo[C.]: one last thing - and I have mentioned this quite often
[2] 06:15 Rea: no, it's not.. it's the real world.. pitty that some live their lives like gaming with.. ;o
[2] 06:14 Hells Bells[CFH]: This is a game?
[2] 06:14 Borneo[C.]: I also have secret contributors that players dont have access to so I can hide things until they are ready to be implemented
[2] 06:13 Crystal[A.D.]: I don't think I've ever been so excited for the game.
[2] 06:13 Borneo[C.]: *fixes and upgrades*
[2] 06:13 Borneo[C.]: I know much of the artwork and images have been leaked over the past year and a half and many players have been consulted on various...
[2] 06:13 Vermin[World]: Even PvP? :o
[2] 06:12 bellabell3[Loyal]: awesome
[2] 06:11 Borneo[C.]: many projects are at various stages of development but rest assured I have working ideas/projects for every aspect ofthe game
[2] 06:11 Ascotvale: is there going to be malaria on this reef?..or just reformed pirates..hehe
[2] 06:11 Robbing Wood[Elite]: new island = new creatures :O
[2] 06:11 Pendragon[*TF*]: Template base island to build others off of. I'm intrigued.
[2] 06:10 Rea: *is too tall and covers all the view anyway. Rea sees no (autocensored)* hmm..?!? ;o
[2] 06:10 Borneo[C.]: the idea is this template island will help us to add others going faster in the future
[2] 06:10 Pendragon[*TF*]: We have missed you, Borneo.
[2] 06:10 Pendragon[*TF*]: What an exciting time to be alive.
[2] 06:10 Borneo[C.]: I wont give details of what is in the works on new islands but we are working on a very simple one to start...
[2] 06:09 Rea: *pretends that shes doing something else but sneaks closer to Borneo and silently tries to see something from the new World Map.. all in vain. Borneo
[2] 06:09 king1104[~one~]: *looks at new world map and frowns* I don't see my custom island on there.
[2] 06:09 bellabell3[Loyal]: :O
[2] 06:09 Borneo[C.]: ok so I will share some info
[2] 06:09 Pendragon[*TF*]: What a dang tease.
[2] 06:09 Pendragon[*TF*]: Aaah
[2] 06:08 bellabell3[Loyal]: we are not that curious but you know.. don't mind seeing
[2] 06:08 Borneo[C.]: I know exactly where the new islands are going
[2] 06:08 ShatterStar[Pond]: Re-introduce buy an island :nod:
[2] 06:08 bellabell3[Loyal]: gets a look Born?
[2] 06:08 Pendragon[*TF*]: :o
[2] 06:07 Rea: ah..?? ;o
[2] 06:07 Borneo[C.]: *looks at new World Map and smiles*
[2] 06:06 Rea: ok.. thank you.. ')
[2] 06:06 Borneo[C.]: no, its going by...wait!!! I said I wouldnt say any more
[2] 06:06 Rea: how about new small islands in the giant reef? ')
[2] 06:05 Makhai[-TL-]: lol
[2] 06:05 Makhai[-TL-]: did we win?
[2] 06:05 HellHound[~X~]: Does it matter Bella?
[2] 06:05 Vermin[World]: Alot of people bella
[2] 06:04 Ascotvale: melbourne..4.7 million people..
[2] 06:04 Borneo[C.]: I shouldnt add anymore stuff to the game because someone has an advantage...glad its all completed :nods:

Bottom up

[2] 06:34 Rea: .. and Syrnia is soo alive! ")
[2] 06:33 Rea: well, we are.. ')
[2] 06:32 Borneo[C.]: lol
[2] 06:32 lastknight[TSoH]: Thanks for tantalizing us Born. I know you love throwing raw meat to us like we are starving wolves
[2] 06:32 Pendragon[*TF*]: I don't like it either. o.o
[2] 06:32 foozard[World]: you guys don't have a skill there?
[2] 06:31 lastknight[TSoH]: with that empty spot next to farming
[2] 06:31 lastknight[TSoH]: Born once said that he also does not like how the skills are at an odd number
[2] 06:31 Marley[World]: hya Born *hugs*
[2] 06:31 Pendragon[*TF*]: Ah, I see.
[2] 06:31 king1104[~one~]: Drinking skill returns! You heard it here first, folks!
[2] 06:31 lastknight[TSoH]: Boxers usually but briefs when I am participating in athletics
[2] 06:30 Pendragon[*TF*]: Good, lastknight. Boxers, or briefs?
[2] 06:30 Borneo[C.]: [2] 06:11 Borneo[C.]: many projects are at various stages of development but rest assured I have working ideas/projects for every aspect ofthe game
[2] 06:30 lastknight[TSoH]: Yes I am still taking questions Pendragon
[2] 06:30 Pendragon[*TF*]: No specifics. BUT. Do you think there ever will be more skills added to Syrnia?
[2] 06:30 Borneo[C.]: yep
[2] 06:30 Nil[C.]: I'm pretty partial to hunting and gathering
[2] 06:30 Pendragon[*TF*]: I actually have one more question if you are still taking...
[2] 06:29 lastknight[TSoH]: Gain exp by talking in chat
[2] 06:29 Ascotvale: maybe the work in prison skill ..
[2] 06:29 Robbing Wood[Elite]: a 'slayer' skill sounds nice to me
[2] 06:29 A wild JR[TAG]: I hope it's knitting
[2] 06:29 giZmo[TSoH]: alchemy
[2] 06:28 Robbing Wood[Elite]: lmao
[2] 06:28 lastknight[TSoH]: Well we have the thieving skill but isn't it about time we got the armed robbery skill?
[2] 06:27 Robbing Wood[Elite]: I can't see what other skill could be added lol
[2] 06:26 lastknight[TSoH]: That means new skill confirmed *nods*
[2] 06:26 Borneo[C.]: [2] 06:11 Borneo[C.]: many projects are at various stages of development but rest assured I have working ideas/projects for every aspect ofthe game
[2] 06:25 Vermin[World]: Is PvP eventually going to get some kind of update too? I know you said it wasnt at the very top of the list.
[2] 06:24 Borneo[C.]: everything is based on what things I need coder fo and what I can implement myself
[2] 06:24 lastknight[TSoH]: What is top priority update right now?
[2] 06:24 Marauder818[TSoH]: is asking a time range too specific
[2] 06:23 Marauder818[TSoH]: more than satisfied
[2] 06:23 lastknight[TSoH]: I am satisfied
[2] 06:22 Pendragon[*TF*]: Aaay.
[2] 06:22 Borneo[C.]: boxers unless I am coaching
[2] 06:22 Robbing Wood[Elite]: gotcha
[2] 06:22 Borneo[C.]: not hand-in hand Wood
[2] 06:22 Pendragon[*TF*]: I'm curious about lastknight's question as well.
[2] 06:22 Rea: i'm happy with " *looks at new World Map and smiles*" .. and if one day we will discover the mushroom.. ")
[2] 06:21 Borneo[C.]: yes we are working on grammar and spelling
[2] 06:21 Borneo[C.]: slow down
[2] 06:21 Pendragon[*TF*]: I'd be happy to help.
[2] 06:21 Robbing Wood[Elite]: is it safe to assume that new islands = new creatures ?
[2] 06:21 Pendragon[*TF*]: Will the various spelling and grammar errors in the game be fixed over time? Do you want somebody to help rewrite things? I'm quite good at it.
[2] 06:20 lastknight[TSoH]: Boxers or briefs? The people need to know.
[2] 06:20 Borneo[C.]: so any Q&A before I get back to work? Please dont as for specifics because I wont share

[2] 11:25 Borneo[C.]: night world...hope you like the new toys

[2] 04:15 Borneo[C.]: anything Terma doesnt get from Christmas I will make sure is covered

[2] 04:18 Borneo[C.]: I am happy that so many are working on her stuff...I will let everyone do the right thing and I will just make sure the gap is filled


Just goes to show you Our Illustrious Mod/Owner does have a big heart after all....

[2] 06:37 Borneo[C.]: hope for some big things to fall in place in 2018

[2] 06:38 Borneo[C.]: I will share this with everyone...

[2] 06:39 Borneo[C.]: no new NPC or monsters for Easter bt there will be a new NPC and monsters for Christmas and Halloween...and yes, new flowers

[2] 23:51 Borneo[C.]: ok so a few things that I hope to get done in 2018:
[2] 23:52 Borneo[C.]: I want to add some more donation options
[2] 23:53 Borneo[C.]: the NPC for Christmas and Halloween will change, along with the contents in LCP and some other items and drops from holiday creatures
[2] 23:53 Borneo[C.]: Pirates should have at least some of their changes initiated or even (wishful thinking) completed
[2] 23:54 Borneo[C.]: the titanium ore will be "expanded" on
[2] 23:54 Borneo[C.]: changes to Cave 3
[2] 23:54 Borneo[C.]: at least one new island
[2] 23:55 Borneo[C.]: the first island will be a small project but will give us the ability to add islands easier in the future...prototype with coding added for other isla
[2]23:56 JoveS[-TL-]: is that one new island the bday party one?
[2]23:56 Borneo[C.]: Im hoping JoveS...depends on development time
[2]23:57 Borneo[C.]: the missing boquets will be added
[2]23:58 Borneo[C.]: a few new creatures, adjustment on some drop rates to better balance locations
[2]00:00 Borneo[C.]: there are a few other player ideas that I am working on seeing how they could work
[2]00:01 Borneo[C.]: finally, I want to work on each skill in some capacity
[2]00:02 Borneo[C.]: addition of new things to cook or to cook with would be an example but everyone should get a little something
[2]00:02 Borneo[C.]: thats the goals for the coming year

Edited on 27-12-2017 00:03

^ That post rifht their just saved me from quitting (: Ill stick around another year and see if I finally think the game is worth playing long-term. (No offense, its just my opinion)

*Prays to see thieving get an update*

Thats an 'update' not an 'expansion'.

[2]07:25 Borneo[C.]: broken glass will be needed by the whole community at some point
[2]07:25 Borneo[C.]: ...and in massive quantities
[2]07:25 Knight of the Abyss[~Home]: oooooh
[2]07:25 Faeren[-DRS-]: o.O
[2]07:26 Borneo[C.]: otherwise there wont be windows >.<

I had a feeling...

I wasn't exactly expecting a definitive answer, but this conversation was a little helpful:

[2]08:27 C4LV1N[SWC]: Borneo, in changing the contents of Locked christmas presents, are you going to try to keep the value of the contents about the same, increase the
[2]08:27 C4LV1N[SWC]: value, or lower it?
[2]08:27 C4LV1N[SWC]: ...curious if I should open the ones I have, keep them, or not worry about it...
[2]08:28 Borneo[C.]: yes
[2]08:28 Borneo[C.]: garnets will be replaced and the seeds may change
[2]08:28 C4LV1N[SWC]: So helpful.
[2]08:30 craftmeister[Loyal]: When is it changing borneo? That is only reason i am fishing to get lcps specifically for garnets and seeds
[2]08:30 Borneo[C.]: not going to give out exact details but Christmas and Halloween will be changed this year
[2]08:30 C4LV1N[SWC]: So, I'll take that as I don't need to worry about it, unless I really want the garnets.
[2]08:30 craftmeister[Loyal]: So these ones i am trading for will be as normal?
[2]08:31 C4LV1N[SWC]: ...or really don't want them.
[2]08:32 Borneo[C.]: to be totally honest I have not looked at exactly how I will change it, only the amount of garnets in the game
[2]08:33 craftmeister[Loyal]: Are there really that many? One of hardest gems to buy
[2]08:33 Borneo[C.]: I personally have 164 right now
[2]08:35 Shikaru: 101 gnomes to 15 def
[2]08:37 bellabell3[Loyal]: would help if one didn't die with a stash
[2]08:37 craftmeister[Loyal]: Then u need to start selling 🙄 dias easy to get.. garnets you need to pry from players stone cold fingers

[2] 07:03 Borneo[C.]: as I just whispered to him Im working on some of the core updates now - specifically cooking and fishing
[2] 07:04 Borneo[C.]: the Easter stuff wont be major
[2] 07:05 Borneo[C.]: ...they got 3 new monsters last year but there will be...well, nevermind
[2] 07:05 Borneo[C.]: you'll just have to wait and see
[2] 07:08 Borneo[C.]: so you know Crimson, I do the stuff I dont need the coder for so many "tweeks" I can do without any help...
[2] 07:08 Borneo[C.]: ...bigger updates require coding and testing so we have restraints
[2] 07:09 Borneo[C.]: like collectors items - I can have them added then do all the rest of the work myself

[2]04:37 Borneo[C.]: so what I was telling Bella is I am in the works on 3 different islands
[2]04:38 Borneo[C.]: dont get too excited as they are all in "planning stages"
[2]04:38 Borneo[C.]: 1 is like PI for special eventa
[2]04:39 Borneo[C.]: 1 is a very complex community build island
[2]04:39 Borneo[C.]: 1 is the next stages of almost all skills

[2] 09:46 The Watcher[~one~]: I just wanted to ask something, if you don't mind - The "Template Island", is that the one you plan to release this year? Is it different from the 3 other islands?
[2] 09:47 Borneo[C.]: working on it watcher...but really concentrating on the updates that should have happened in the past to get everything to current
[2] 09:48 Borneo[C.]: worked on fishing/cooking and a new item to use wood for
[2] 09:48 Borneo[C.]: now working on the missing seeds
[2] 09:52 Borneo[C.]: as for a new mid-level island, there is a lot in the planning stages
[2] 09:53 Borneo[C.]: there is, as well as an "Elite" style of island
[2] 09:53 The Watcher[~one~]: Something like Anasco?
[2] 09:53 Borneo[C.]: more restrictive

2] 10:10 Bummie[Nox]: not sure if im looking for new drops here or just higher rates
[2] 09:46 Borneo[C.]: have you been there in the past 2 days barun?
[2] 09:45 barun511[*TF*]: I can't stand Berian still
[2] 09:44 Borneo[C.]: Im good...Berian is much better for fighting than it was in the past...been testing it out the past couple days.

[2]20:52 Borneo[C.]: if I get even a small portion of what I have planned for this year implemented people will be happy

[2]06:09 Borneo[C.] : well one of the new islands is a special event location
[2]06:10 Borneo[C.] : ...kinda like PI, not open except for special things
[2]06:10 JoveS[-TL-]: are you gonna open it just like that for no reason?xD
[2]06:11 Borneo[C.] : sometimes for no reason, other times for special things
[2]06:11 JoveS[-TL-]: sounds good to me
[2]06:11 Borneo[C.] : one of the ideas I am throwing around is the collection events like for the snow globes
[2]06:12 Borneo[C.] : this would give us a place to do these collection events at a specific spot so we dont interrupt other things
[2]06:13 Borneo[C.] : we could also just open it up randomly throughout the year for those kind of things
[2]06:13 G Bob[TLO]: So any of this new updates in for Easter? Or there is no time?
[2]06:13 Rajnish5622[Corps]: Any chances of the new island showing up this Easter?
[2]06:13 LCA[~ADV~]: i liked that for christmas, gave some use to otherwise useless items
[2]06:14 JoveS[-TL-]: there is something smaller for Easter he said
[2]06:14 Borneo[C.] : not for Easter, no
[2]06:15 JoveS[-TL-]: nicer bunnies for killing is enough xD
[2]06:15 Borneo[C.] : the Easter events this year will be the same as last, with the new bigger bunnies
[2]06:15 Borneo[C.] : bunny returns this year...and a snow globe kind of collection event
[2]06:15 Scary[CLEAN]: I will be collecting rabbits feet.
[2]06:16 Borneo[C.] : ...but these items wont be cheap

This is Borneo discussing the abuse of his powers:

[2] 08:49 Borneo[C.]: I only have 2 powers
[2] 08:49 Nekotatsu[Home]: So still more powah!
[2] 08:49 Errant[TSoH]: Mustache is always a power.
[2] 08:49 Borneo[C.]: the power of teleportation and the ability to make items disappear
[2] 08:49 The Watcher[~one~]: With an agonizing repulsion for rats
[2] 08:49 Errant[TSoH]: Power to silence people tho?
[2] 08:50 LCA[~ADV~]: the disappearing act is no bueno
[2] 08:50 Borneo[C.]: I gave that one up
[2] 08:50 Nekotatsu[Home]: xD Born has more powah than that lol
[2] 08:50 Nekotatsu[Home]: He has a whole community at his command
[2] 08:50 Borneo[C.]: only in rare circumstances do I have that
[2] 08:50 Nekotatsu[Home]: Though i don't follow commands
[2] 08:50 Errant[TSoH]: I think Born once said he randomly would take an item from someone's inventory and put it in their house to be annoying
[2] 08:50 The Watcher[~one~]: Yes I recall that also
[2] 08:50 Borneo[C.]: tattletale Errant >.<
[2] 08:51 The Watcher[~one~]: Call me your witness
[2] 08:51 Errant[TSoH]: Probably he does that to Bex
[2] 08:51 Bex[TLO]: nah he does breaks me so I can't skill
[2] 08:52 Taze[CFH]: or he turns off gem drops in mining .. >
[2] 08:52 Errant[TSoH]: I remember you training smithing and he would tele you
[2] 08:52 Errant[TSoH]: during the time you worked with silver
[2] 08:52 Borneo[C.]: lol...I move Bex when she signs out so she forgets what she was working on
[2] 08:53 Borneo[C.]: I replace the tool to totally mess with her
[2] 08:53 Errant[TSoH]: lol
[2] 08:53 Errant[TSoH]: That is pretty funny
[2] 08:53 Borneo[C.]: ~disclaimer~
[2] 08:53 Borneo[C.]: I have only done it twice
[2] 08:54 The Watcher[~one~]: *places 'un' to disclaimer*
[2] 08:54 Jasmin[Ant]: Hello
[2] 08:54 Errant[TSoH]: *only twice to Bex* Not inculding other people
[2] 08:54 Bex[TLO]: *thinks about jailing Born*
[2] 08:55 Nekotatsu[Home]: Change it so that when she logs in, she sees a picture of the tools and laugh as she wonders why nothing she clicks works
[2] 08:55 Errant[TSoH]: I think he has sent me to PI... 3 times? and Arch 5 once
[2] 08:55 Errant[TSoH]: also looking into my house and inventory an unknown number of times
[2] 08:56 Errant[TSoH]: oh and muted me once for 1 minute, I still have the message saved
[2] 08:58 Borneo[C.]: lol...Im a funny guy
[2] 09:00 Dash[C.]: Funny looking
[2] 09:01 Solunar[Choob]: lmao xD
[2] 09:02 Bex[TLO]: you were funnier when you were muted :
[2] 09:02 Errant[TSoH]: To be fair, when he sent me to arch 5, he did give me a heads up not to move lol
[2] 09:02 Borneo[C.]: I hate both the hers
[2] 09:04 Bex[TLO]: you love us
[2] 09:04 Borneo[C.]: *sigh* I do

[2]19:49 Borneo[C.]: Attention!
[2]19:49 Borneo[C.]: I hate Bex
[2]19:49 Borneo[C.]: That is all...please return to your gaming pleasure
[0]19:51 Lists have been added so people can track their Fabrege egg process: Forum -> Announcements -> Easter Collections.. Also, down with Borneo!

Borneo on Cooking (Thabis Raws) Exp:

[2] 09:23 Masque[TAG]: Sword is a waste of time since the timer nerf. It is equal to shark in timer but worse xp.
[2] 09:23 Borneo[C.]: *shouldnt
[2] 09:23 Masque[TAG]: Actually at level 100 you should have a 12% burn rate on parrotfish
[2] 09:24 Masque[TAG]: Which is backward given shark isn't decent until 115 xD
[2] 09:24 Borneo[C.]: thats what I was discussing yesterday with someone
[2] 09:24 LCA[~ADV~]: i cooked parrots not too many levels ago, the exp was awful xD
[2] 09:24 Masque[TAG]: Yeah timer is huge 
[2] 09:24 Masque[TAG]: At that level
[2] 09:24 Thorne[=1=]: I was gona say secs
[2] 09:24 Borneo[C.]: there are a lot of those things that gotta be looked at
[2] 09:25 LCA[~ADV~]: 8k an hour with no burnts, made me cringe 
[2] 09:25 Masque[TAG]: Anyway if you need a thabis chef and what not, hit me up lol. I have 2500 grouper left then I'm free



Borneo on Mining:

[2] 09:25 Solunar[Choob]: Like a safe mine that's better exp than gold
[2] 09:26 Borneo[C.]: not getting a safe Syriet mine in the foreseeable future if thats where youre headed Sol
[2] 09:26 Solunar[Choob]: I was more thinking obby ;P
[2] 09:26 Mr Tiddles[CFH]: never!
[2] 09:27 Mr Tiddles[CFH]: never ever even please 
[2] 09:27 Borneo[C.]: I wont say "never" Mr T but certainly not even being considered right now
[2] 09:27 Solunar[Choob]: Or maybe just a second gold mine :o
[2] 09:27 Mr Tiddles[CFH]: double timer maybe...
[2] 09:28 Borneo[C.]: thats possible Sol
[2] 09:28 Mr Tiddles[CFH]: 5k xp per hr
[2] 09:28 Thorne[=1=]: safe secs cooking is an actual thing now
[2] 09:28 Borneo[C.]: no, not even with a bad timer
[2] 09:28 Solunar[Choob]: On Kanzo/Anasco
[2] 09:29 Borneo[C.]: wont be on Kanzo/Anasco...maybe some unfound lands
[2] 09:29 Solunar[Choob]: Oh ya, those
[2] 09:29 Borneo[C.]: ...but thats just speculation




Borneo on New Cave Gnomes:

[2] 09:30 Mr Tiddles[CFH]: Borneo, new Dino?
[2] 09:30 Borneo[C.]: not opposed to it Mr T
[2] 09:31 Mr Tiddles[CFH]: dino tools c:
[2] 09:31 Borneo[C.]: ...but really hadnt given it much thought
[2] 09:31 Borneo[C.]: I knew I wanted the skele set...and some things for Cave 3...and the Pura gamans
[2] 09:31 Borneo[C.]: ...and Cave Gnomes
[2] 09:32 Solunar[Choob]: Cave Gnomes :o
[2] 09:32 Solunar[Choob]: Will they be evil?
[2] 09:32 Thorne[=1=]: I never got a skelly thx tho to bex and her um.. team of um family clan
[2] 09:34 Solunar[Choob]: How many skellies are there?
[2] 09:34 Big Dawg[~one~]: aren't those known as dwarves Born?
[2] 09:35 Borneo[C.]: no because gnomes are the best drops in the game
[2] 09:35 Big Dawg[~one~]: that are attracted to precious metals and such
[2] 09:36 Big Dawg[~one~]: oooh so it's gonna have nice drops:O
[2] 09:36 Solunar[Choob]: Will they be easy to kill?
[2] 09:36 Thorne[=1=]: describe best
[2] 09:37 Borneo[C.]: their drop rate is higher than any creature in the game
[2] 09:38 Mr Tiddles[CFH]: Dino drop 100% of time
[2] 09:38 Big Dawg[~one~]: with there be a chance he carries better locked?
[2] 09:38 Mr Tiddles[CFH]: XD
[2] 09:38 Thorne[=1=]: i beg to differ, ogre town is by far more profiable
[2] 09:38 bellabell3[Loyal]: sounds like something new is coming o.O
[2] 09:39 Borneo[C.]: again I say...
[2] 09:40 Borneo[C.]: their drop rate is higher than any in the game
[2] 09:43 Borneo[C.]: oh, just a little fun add for Cave 3 doldrums
[2] 09:43 Mr Tiddles[CFH]: what about the skeletons?
[2] 09:43 Big Dawg[~one~]: lol give us some prize for being randomly trapped eh
[2] 09:43 Borneo[C.]: not much can really move forward until we get the S added to http
[2] 09:44 Joh[O.G.]: Is Syrnia really set up that complicated that adding the S is a problem?
[2] 09:44 Borneo[C.]: Ive always wondered why we arent "secure"
[2] 09:44 Thorne[=1=]: I will add an S to everything, I know coding
[2] 09:45 Joh[O.G.]: Yrnia looks secure until you realise it's called Syrnia :
[2] 09:45 Borneo[C.]: not at all Joh, just a matter of avaialable time
[2] 09:47 Nuthouse[-DRS-]: whats the difference between the cave gnome and ordinary gnome
[2] 09:48 Maggie[Fangz]: one with a pipe rather than a rod
[2] 09:48 Nuthouse[-DRS-]: thats a question, not a joke btw
[2] 09:48 Big Dawg[~one~]: one is alive and the other is only a skelly
[2] 09:48 Borneo[C.]: ordinary gnomes exist in the game
[2] 09:48 Nuthouse[-DRS-]: cave gnomes are coming tho arent they?
[2] 09:48 Borneo[C.]: yes they are nutty
[2] 09:49 Nuthouse[-DRS-]: very cool
[2] 09:49 Borneo[C.]: but like everything, its just talk for now

[2] 07:11 Borneo[C.]: there are at least 3 new islands in various stages of development...and plans for a 4th
[2] 07:12 Borneo[C.]: 1 island like PI for special occasions
[2] 07:12 Borneo[C.]: 1 island for the big kids


[2] 07:17 barun511[*TF*]: Born - any idea on what priority fixing BM is?
[2] 07:18 Borneo[C.]: so far down the list its not worth mentioning
[2] 07:19 Borneo[C.]: well we need updates on all 15 skills, several sets of gear completed, some new islands, pirate fixes, dozens of new items, the flowers and bouquets all

[2] 07:24 Beaver Bill[-T-0-]: Borneo when is the update coming?
[2] 07:25 Borneo[C.]: hard to say
[2] 07:26 Borneo[C.]: Ive been AWOL for over a month so Im back to work on things
[2] 07:26 Ignis Mundi[-IB-]: Sounds like AWOL lot of trouble
[2] 07:27 Borneo[C.]: I have some things that are "game ready" and some stuff that needs lots of work
[2] 07:28 Borneo[C.]: the bouquets for some of the flowers are ready to go, a change for trade training
[2] 07:29 Borneo[C.]: I am going to lift the cap for trade training to 85and constr to 80 at Maadi
[2] 07:29 Borneo[C.]: Ive already decided on that to fill the gap until Im ready for their next "update"
[2] 07:30 Borneo[C.]: their next one needs one of the new islands to come in before they can be raised to lvl 100

[2] 07:31 Ignis Mundi[-IB-]: Do you agree that Woodcutting needs a good revamp?
[2] 07:34 Borneo[C.]: Ignis - yes and no
[2] 07:34 Borneo[C.]: it definitely needs the seeds rethought and changed...and about 7-8 new seeds to fill the gap between Verve and FoL

[2] 07:34 barun511[*TF*]: When the next update happens, will you announce it or will we have to discover it ourself?
[2] 07:35 Borneo[C.]: depends on the update
[2] 07:35 Borneo[C.]: changes to combat location will not be announced
[2] 07:36 Borneo[C.]: when new seeds come in I wont announce that either
[2] 07:37 Borneo[C.]: ...or new fish

[2] 07:37 Ignis Mundi[-IB-]: Would you announce when you bought new spandex?
[2] 07:37 Borneo[C.]: I have new spandex...thought I already said that

[2] 07:37 barun511[*TF*]: New islands/locations?
[2] 07:37 Borneo[C.]: new islands fall differently
[2] 07:38 Borneo[C.]: one of them would be in red chat, one of them will be announced, one will have to be found
[2] 07:39 Ignis Mundi[-IB-]: Before adding stuff to the manual etc
[2] 07:39 Ignis Mundi[-IB-]: I would like the players to find out everything themselves when a new island is here
[2] 07:40 Borneo[C.]: the new PI island would be announced in red chat because its a special event island
[2] 07:40 Borneo[C.]: manual is being reworked
[2] 07:41 barun511[*TF*]: Manual has already had changes made to it, interestingly enough
[2] 07:42 Borneo[C.]: barun - we have a couple people working on it and we are making bigger changes in the future
[2] 07:44 Borneo[C.]: we will be attaching the manual to the game eventually so when I change the drops for a monster, for example, it will be linked
[2] 07:44 Borneo[C.]: ...pictures included

[2] 02:23 Borneo[C.]: I had some of the new stuff ready for Halloween but not the time to implement it so no new stuff for Halloween

[2] 02:23 Borneo[C.]: I’m going to save it for next year and start getting the new Christmas stuff in line

[2] 02:23 JoveS[-TL-]: Halloween is good enough as it is xD

[2] 02:24 Borneo[C.]: Yeah jones but some of the prizes need changing as we are overstocked on some things and while I love the bone items it’s time for them to move on

[2] 02:24 Clydex[*TF*]: So no drops or drop rates will be changed?

[2] 02:25 Borneo[C.]: I may tinker with some things but overall no changes

[2] 02:26 Borneo[C.]: So Christmas will have a new suit and new NPC. It’s already designed and ready to go

[2] 02:26 Borneo[C.]: There will also be new snow globes with different collection items

[2] 02:27 Borneo[C.]: Those are also already designed

I find it odd that no one has posted anything in here for almost 5 months now... Is Borneo totally A.W.O.L. now?

There was a post last week of things born said about updates. It was deleted either by the poster or admin.
Born says hes back and ready to get things going, but little to no updates for Halloween.

He was around and is around again. However he is handling other things first before he reveals stuff about updates. The post above by Scary is correct. He said that in world chat.

[2]10:39 Borneo[C.]: right now I got tons of work on Christmas with the new...
[2]10:40 Borneo[C.]: well, never mind
[2]10:40 Borneo[C.]: oh, and the...well, just wait and see

[2]06:23 Borneo[C.]: I should go naked to the OL with only my golden ring

[2] 09:29 Borneo[C.]: fyi AFC, I have 8 new fish already named and the artwork done
[2] 09:30 Borneo[C.]: got the levels to catch them done, the exp, what level to cook and where they will be all laid out
[2] 09:31 Raj[Corps]: Jellyfish!
[2] 09:31 Borneo[C.]: right idea, wrong sea creature
[2] 09:31 Foozard[World]: sea turtles!
[2] 09:31 Integral[~one~]: Eel
[2] 09:32 Bex[TLO]: no turtles! >
[2] 09:32 Foozard[World]: we have eels
[2] 09:32 Raj[Corps]: Snapping turtles
[2] 09:32 Borneo[C.]: 7 new seeds too
[2] 09:32 JoveS[-TL-]: but farming sucks
[2] 09:32 AtomicPunk[~one~]: John West dolphin-in-a-can otherwise known as tuna
[2] 09:33 Raj[Corps]: Mango seeds?
[2] 09:34 Borneo[C.]: maybe it wont if we have new seeds (crosses fingers)
[2] 09:34 Bex[TLO]: no dolphin either! :o
[2] 09:34 Integral[~one~]: manta ray
[2] 09:34 Bex[TLO]: stop trying to eat all the good stuff!
[2] 09:34 AtomicPunk[~one~]: hey .. blame John West .. not me
[2] 09:34 Borneo[C.]: You ate the baby seal and got 4 hp
[2] 09:35 Bex[TLO]: :o
[2] 09:35 Bex[TLO]: evil!
[2] 09:35 Borneo[C.]: lol
[2] 09:35 JoveS[-TL-]: we can always hunt the whales '(
[2] 09:35 Genie[Magic]: only 4hp..with all that fat??
[2] 09:35 00hed[CFH]: How's it taste?
[2] 09:35 Borneo[C.]: tastes like chicken
[2] 09:36 Bex[TLO]: whales too? > keep it up and I'll feed you all stone fish, not the good creatures!
[2] 09:36 Borneo[C.]: better get to building the new boats or you wont be able to fish there
[2] 09:36 Isaac[AdC]: fish and seeds, great news born
[2] 09:37 Borneo[C.]: oh Ive had it all planned out for almost a year...just got busy travelling with my kid and watching him play
[2] 09:37 Isaac[AdC]: hey someone needs to record this on forums
[2] 09:37 Borneo[C.]: some of it may already be there
[2] 09:37 AtomicPunk[~one~]: rl first Born
[2] 09:38 Borneo[C.]: yeah and I am living vicariously through my kid Atom
[2] 09:38 AtomicPunk[~one~]: don't we all
[2] 09:38 Borneo[C.]: its really fun watching him be the athlete I always wanted to be
[2] 09:38 Isaac[AdC]: I bet those 7 new seeds heal 23,24 .. 28, 29 ;)
[2] 09:39 Borneo[C.]: hmm Isaac may be onto something
[2] 09:39 Borneo[C.]: Ive always said I wanted to fix what I feel are gaps before I move on to expansion
[2] 09:40 Borneo[C.]: the ores already got started and hinted at
[2] 09:41 Ignis Mundi[CLEAN]: ore plural?
[2] 09:41 Foozard[World]: if you're filling in gaps sounds like you didn't make a fish above grouper :o
[2] 09:41 Isaac[AdC]: :O
[2] 09:41 Ignis Mundi[CLEAN]: Maybe 1, Foo
[2] 09:41 Foozard[World]: a level 200 fish sounds fun
[2] 09:41 Foozard[World]: Also, I was never here~
[2] 09:42 Genie[Magic]: you caught the megaladon, now kill it
[2] 09:42 Borneo[C.]: lol
[2] 09:42 Borneo[C.]: I have the stuff designed for when we are ready to grow as well
[2] 09:43 Borneo[C.]: I probably have a couple dozen spreadsheets with all kinds of stuff
[2] 09:43 John[CLEAN]: Thats good news, Born
[2] 09:46 Borneo[C.]: hell I even have a folder with just skill orbs images
[2] 09:47 Borneo[C.]: someday
[2] 09:50 Borneo[C.]: for now we just gotta deal with Christmas
[2] 09:51 John[CLEAN]: One step at a time, Borneo. No rush
[2] 09:52 Raj[Corps]: Events from 24th Born?
[2] 09:56 Borneo[C.]: Bex knows all the details...feel free to message her any time
[2] 09:56 Borneo[C.]: BA HA HA

[2] 07:03 Borneo[C.]: I redid a lot of the monsters drops and rates for Christmas...I didnt do anything to Frosties but the others yes

[2] 07:30 Borneo[C.]: evil snowman do not drop the candy cane tools

[2]20:09 Borneo[C.]: Just checking in...will be in around 06:00 to catch up on Easter plans if anyone wants to yell at me about my most recent disappearing act

[2] 20:09 Borneo[C.]: Just checking in...will be in around 06:00 to catch up on Easter plans if anyone wants to yell at me about my most recent disappearing act

^ feel free to complain about lack of updates.

[2] 00:10 Borneo[C.]: so we are clear - and I dont want to disappoint the eldest players but... - most of the updates are gap-fixes within current skills

[2] 00:10 Borneo[C.]: I want those issues fixed before we expand
[2] 00:11 Goosh[TLO]: gap fixes huh.. so it might be possible to catch aussie?
[2] 00:11 Borneo[C.]: some will require new locations and new things to get it done. Thats my top priority now
[2] 00:12 JoveS[-TL-]: I mean there is a huge gap above CL 60 in combat ')
[2] 00:12 JoveS[-TL-]: every other skill has a permanent 100 spot ')
[2] 00:13 aussiebeast[~FoS~]: If #2 outgains me by 500,000xp a week it will take over 19 years... so good luck
[2] 00:13 Borneo[C.]: there are plenty of fighting spots for CL 60-CL100
[2] 00:13 Borneo[C.]: I cant fix abominations like you aussie...lol

[2] 00:15 Borneo[C.]: you, Bella, wikid, Del, Pan and a handful of others just gotta suffer til I get there...lol

[2] 00:16 Borneo[C.]: there is a couple dozen people I just cant help until I expand the world

[2] 00:17 Felix[AdC]: now im curious to see these updates hehe

[2] 00:18 Borneo[C.]: well my new boat sank if thats any indication >.<

[2] 00:21 Borneo[C.]: working on it as much as I can...was up until 4:16am this morning testing stuff

[2] 00:22 Borneo[C.]: am talking to one of the big players in a specific skill as to the gap-fixes needed in that skill this week

[2] 00:23 Borneo[C.]: I want to reiterate this and everyone needs to understand - all skills have updates coming...some simple, some more complex
[2] 00:23 Borneo[C.]: its hard because I have to split up staff to work on my projects while still keeping the status quo on yearly events
[2] 00:24 GODofLIGHT[~FoS~]: i bet we will all understand... as long as they are out by weeks end :

[2] 00:24 Borneo[C.]: I am hoping some little things are out by weeks end
[2] 00:24 GODofLIGHT[~FoS~]: :o
[2] 00:24 Borneo[C.]: maybe even one of the bigger things
[2] 00:24 I Hate Bob[TLO]: ah, we have almost 100 days until Halloween, ou have time
[2] 00:25 GODofLIGHT[~FoS~]: progress is a very welcomed event, i would say
[2] 00:25 GODofLIGHT[~FoS~]: even a little is progress
[2] 00:25 Gargonite[TSoH]: doesn't gap fills have the potential to ruin the game if certain big milestones are devalued by more things in between them ?
[2] 00:25 Borneo[C.]: to your point GoL, thats why I have some of the smaller stuff to get out asap...show you guys Im serious
[2] 00:26 Dusk[CLEAN]: I think it's more to just help players have a chance at catching up
[2] 00:26 Borneo[C.]: I think once you see them Gargonite they will make sense
[2] 00:26 Dusk[CLEAN]: The older players have the advantage of time and still being a higher level
[2] 00:27 aussiebeast[~FoS~]: So working many years to get their levels should mean nothing? Ridiculous idea

[2] 00:29 Borneo[C.]: I dont think the gap-fixes will allow for "catching up". They are more designed to fill the gap where obvious updates should have taken place

[2] 00:31 Borneo[C.]: the game is so far ahead of most of it, I dont think it moves a mid level to upper levels but more addresses the logical progression of players from b

I almost fell asleep reading this.

Teenagers with a basic grasp of coding don't posture this way. They get things done. This is a rudimentary timer-based game invented by a Dutch schoolboy. If you're going to do something to improve the game then show - don't tell. Let's see what you can do with your skills!

Zzzzz this is getting old now Kari, nobody cares.

Except they do, Yuuko.

Why do you think you answered back in the first place?

Not to mention the cry-babies you cover for...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz about as interesting as your stories tbh.

[2] 23:17 Borneo[C.]: ok...I will give you my big plan...and someday we will get there

[2] 23:17 Borneo[C.]: I have wanted an island discovered off the coast of one of our other locations

[2] 23:18 Borneo[C.]: a bridge has to be built to get there because of factors that limit its ability to be gotten to by boat

[2] 23:18 Borneo[C.]: once on the island an area has to be cleared

[2] 23:19 Borneo[C.]: docks built, fishing now available

[2] 23:19 Borneo[C.]: another area cleared...uni trading post built

[2] 23:20 Borneo[C.]: etc and etc until the full island is developed

[2] 23:21 Borneo[C.]: originally we wanted what became Calmere to be that spot...well I did...lol

[2] 23:21 Borneo[C.]: the dynamics of designing a "lost cave" idea for an entire island and all its functionality was very complex

[2] 23:22 Borneo[C.]: so I decided my thing could happen in the future because we needed Calmere now rather than in 2 years

[2] 23:33 Borneo[C.]: I understand the lottery complaint if you are a huge miner and have trouble getting it butnotheing should flood the game at its inception

[2] 23:34 Borneo[C.]: I get it...you dont like the roll-out on this but its not changing

[2] 23:35 Borneo[C.]: and there may be more like it
