Magic gave me a sneak peak into his island and all I have to say is that it is very colorful. As he said, it is a perfect island for hanging out. I can't wait to get out on the race track and the battle area. I'm not to fond of ctf but if you are into that, then he has a good section for it. I haven't tried kricket yet, but he has allocated space for that too.

Here's a question: when? THATS EXACTLY THE KIND OF ISLE I NEED. I hate economy. I hate fighting. I like everything else.

soon is the best i can say ive just been hit with some pretty big viruses....if you want an example of what was going on with my machine i recieved 2.5k port scans and 947 infected files in one evening... now i have had to do a complete re-install to clear the virus because the system was unrecoverable.... so as soon as my machine is back on line properly i wll be bringing Vector into life....

Tom hopefully it will appeal to 25% of the users then :)

1/4 of the map... the map is divided into six squares

top left : Battle Arena, lots of walls, hiding places, hazards on the ground etc...

Top Right : um WIP probbably wont be accessible until future server release because of
the need to have accurate vehicle surface collision detection but the concept
skate park thingy

Bottom Left :Racing - its a maze structure so you will have to work out which way to go
for yourself has various hazards such as water pits (kills ya), ice
to slid on, bit of a mine field in various places, and a few jumps
throw in for good measure and speed up and slow down zones.

Bottom Right: Kricket.... coz its fun :)

middle left : team 1 base
middle right: team 2 base

anticipated opening is sunday... ish :)

i will never get you guys...reine 1 had a tiny econ, ctf, fps fighting, a hornball arena, workin' crows, and full island length racetrack. one of the last conversations i had with you on reine 1 was that it was too many things crammed into one isle.

i've peeked in to vector, and it'll definitely rock. praps it's the more leisurely feel of it that makes the difference, or the not-waiting-9-hours-for-the-thing-to-download, i dunno. but now i've pretty much heard everything, and everything's evil twin, gary.

The problem was Reine 1 was totally bugged. There was no way for me to gain money, but the fuel did get used up.
