    I don't see anywhere where it says what time this happens.  Any clues?  :)

    A Q&A is nice; however, is it challenging enough? How about 4 people from VR and they must answer questions while playing Overcooked? A good friend-destroying game like that should pass as a "team-building" exercise, no? ;)

    Hmmm, seems like there are plenty enough questions on the forums those two could be answering.

    We answer as many of those as we can in our official streams, this is more directed towards the wider community or people on the fence.

    Hey Kel, this is part of the MMORPG regular weekly stream: https://forums.mmorpg.com/discussion/comment/7367860/#Comment_7367860

    "GS2 usually starts every Friday at 9PM CST, but because we're doing a 2-hour special we're starting it an hour early at 8PM CST."

    Sorry, I would have included it but that was all the info I got.

    Great show! I know it may repeated some things but clearly for promotion. Anyhoo, enjoyed it anyway to hear from Brad & Chris and their hopes. Like the self map creation... ;)

    It was a great show, quite long for a live chat but many questions were answered.

    Thank you for taking the time out of your lives to do that for the community.

    A lot of great info, thanks for taking the time to do that. There's so much great things in the game to look forward too. I was surprised and happy to hear Brad say there would probably not be in-game voice chat.

    A comment regarding the reagents/consumables/coin encumbrance discussion (inc. arrows, food, etc); it's something I care deeply for. I can see an equal amount of people saying that having real darkness or non-shared banks to be equally tedious as the above items. So where is the line drawn other than just by someone's personal opinion?

    Part of building a real world and living roleplaying game is adding in a lot of the ‘little things’ that make a world feel alive. Not every feature is going to be equally fun or meaningful, but the sum of the parts is what makes some games feel special and others feel like just a game.

    Did having to walk to EC carrying 100k plat suck with no STR buff? Sure, but it definitely made me re-think when, where and how I bought something which is almost a meta-game in itself; now that is gone from your game.

    Did forgetting arrows give pains for the Ranger? Of course, but it gave him a reason to interact with the Mage. Now having another reason to plan for battle (a key tenant of your game) is gone. Why not just make all arrows more powerful, but require people to carry them? Unlimited bowing for damage just feels so arcade-like, or maybe modern eastern roleplaying. I do not believe that is your target gameplay.

    In general, consumables required for spells and abilities is such a classic roleplaying mechanic that if they are removed from the game due to being labeled as tedious, it make’s me think the focus is moving away from a ‘real breathing world’ and more towards ‘just get people into combat faster’, and that makes me sad due to a completely arbitrary requirement of 2 hour play sessions.
