Wasn't that supposed to be the next project after Tia?

It takes a fraction of the time to dig rooms, write descriptions, create items, and everything else associated with zone writing. But the real major benifit is that you wouldn't need a high level areas god to copyover files on the test mud and all that stupid crap, which takes entirely too long (1-2 weeks, sometimes a month if I was lucky). Even the most determined zone writers that are on task 24/7 can't just hammer out thier project in a month or less like they would like. It is very frustrating. I can imagine if I wrote another one, knowing exactly what I was doing this time, it would be 95% waiting game.

Tasan wrote:Yeah, especially when you can't get your liaison to actually meet at the time they set 2 times in a row.
Tasan wrote:OLC will help w/ the time it takes to review because you can make changes on the spot and see what impact they have. No rebooting, no asking other people if it's ok to reboot, no waiting for files to be moved for a day or two.

Marthammor wrote:I can only assume that when you speak of people being left out of the loop and working on their own projects, you are talking of the few people that were recruited from outside of the staff to help with converting some of the Homeland zones. I had thought the person/people that had done the recruiting were keeping the others informed of decisions and if any concerns had come up, that they would pass them along.
