This project was so alive the whole time after the forum was put up here, and now it got so quiet. Where is everyone?

I'm not liking this. If there is no new activity for a while, this will not look good for the mod and it may be dropped. It's still only in the consideration phase after all.

I hope not the more mods the better, maybe put it on the side-lines till people are free but do not drop it. Anyway maybe people are just resting or are busy and will appear again soon.

This is not the time to be resting people!

Thras has to show it can survive and produce models, new textures, lore/quests, etc.
If the team members stop working on the mod now, Thrass will not get proper BC forums.

I agree with InsanitySorrow "the forums themselves seem to see less activiity everyday" Eek 1

if Thras' momentum is gone already then, well, it's dead I dunno

all projects might've seen a little less, but for a new project... that's like a baby having a stunted growth, its gonna be messed up somehow, whether in its growth timing, whether it grows at all, or even if it survives....
I dunno if thats a good analogy, but the beginning stage is a crucial moment

best of luck, we're all dealing witha dwindling pool of dedicated modders

I'm still here. I was asked to join Thras as Head of Exteriors, and so I did. But since there are no exteriors yet, it gives me very little to do concerning Thras. Wink
Of course I can do more than reviewing exteriors, but at the current stage of Thras I cannot do much to help.

I don't totally agree with InsanitySorrow that the forums themselves see less activity everyday. There are modders who work very hard on the interior claims and make some really beautiful interiors that are reviewed and merged into the main esm. Yet it's true that in a certain way the forums don't see as much activity as some months ago. But I certainly don't think that everyone is just resting. Wink

no, but we all need modelers, and when we don't have all the modelers we need... or all the models made...
doesn't Thras have a large number of modelers? Confused I'm not sure but I thought there was

The forums see plenty of activity, but not all of it is in the form of posts. For example over at the Morag Tong right now, there's not a whole lot to talk about, because i'm making a mansion, and haven't started the quests. Once I get done with the mansion, i'll start on quests, and then healthy debate will start back up.

Other parts of the forum such as Vvardenfell are waiting for tilesets and such, but things are still getting done, there just isn't much to talk about. But things are getting done. Moldcave will be done in another month, Hlaalu tileset is done, and inevitably more tilesets will be claimed, and discussion will start up again.

I know Dumac is waiting on many models before we can start. RideWithTheWind is diligently working on them, and the interior tileset is being worked on by TID. It's all proceeding slowly, but this is a long-term mod.

You're forgetting we have secondary forums that are being used for planning aswell, and a lot of jobs won't start until we actually get proper forums where I can set up claims. It's been nearly a fricken month since we got put on "Temporary forums" I expected the BC leaders to of made a decision within the first week.

Getting forums will get this project moving in a steady flow, and BTW other projects with far less work done were admitted into the BC. I'm actually getting annoyed with how slow it is taking to make a decison, because if it is a no it means we can pack up and work towards resubmitting later.

Why should we bother with two forums though? There's no point when we can do the stuff concerning Thras in the Thras forum. It just seems like an unnecessary annoyance, especially when I can't access the other forums at school.

It's because otherwise this forum would get cluttered, because the BC leaders won't let us get sub-forums in our temporary forums *Gives BC leaders angry 'I'm getting homocidal' look*.

Now now, anger and violence will get you nowhere. If you kill razorwing, this site goes poof. Better to calmly ask him what the holdup is.

Here's how i'd phrase it:

Razorwing:
I realize that the leaders of Beyond Cyrodiil and the Silgrad Tower core have been very busy of late, with v.2 released and all, so I was wondering what the status of Thras is to be?

As you can see, we have many models made already, and indeed have a heightmap, three interweaving main questlines, and concepts for several daedric realms.
Unfortunately, we have no permanent forum yet, and are reluctant to clutter up the Common Room with our temporary forums. We would like to know if and when we can expect to have our own forum
If neccessary, we can produce more models and get started on some of the cities, but having an official forum would make us feel more welcome, and energize our efforts to create Thras for TESIV.

Thank you for your time

That's how you ask for something you know? I'm not sure how much I got right in there, but i'd say it'd get a nice civil response to it, and if you don't get your own forums, you'll at least know why there is a holdup, and what you can do to boost confidence and alleviate the problem

well, why not look at it this way: there are other ways of getting forums. if you realy care about not clutering stuff up, why not get a forum on invision free or something? atleast temporarily if you realy want a forum on here.

as to the original question, the exitement wears off. one of the hard parts is keeping everything going, beacuse the intial "omg, this is so cool, I wonder what I can help with" dosent last very long (especialy when in conflict with real life)

*Cough* we do have other forums *Cough*

And BTW people would be doing more work if we had proper BC forums because I could get claim systems up and running, and contact people who were going to come over when we had forums (e.g. Lugar2).

Hi everyone. I just wanted to let you know that I'm still interested in both this mod and the Vvardenfell mod, but a couple of things have happened that have taken me away a little.

Firstly, since installing the patch my PC will NOT run Oblivion. It CTDs at the first screen. It seems the only remedy is to format the machine and not play Shivering Isles, which I'm not doing, frankly. This has dampened my enthusiasm a fair bit.

Secondly, I've been accepted onto a course that runs for six weeks in the summer, and will be very, very intensive. That means I have to finish a novel by June 14th. Honest. I have to. As I'm a good 30,000 words off finishing, never mind the rewrites, I won't have time for anything else.

Which is a roundabout way of saying, I won't be able to work on mods until August / September. If anyone would like to take over the Nocturnal mod, please feel free. I have collected some research over on the Planes of Oblvion forum you may find useful.

Sorry folks, and the best of luck with everything. Keep your spirits up!

well the good news at least is theat our moonshadow mod is still going well, we have got the begining area made already, we just need a chopped up statue to place the bits around ( I wanna try and split it into two arms, a torso, two legs, and the head, after creating the statue you can use it as a portal to the full moonshadow area)

You shouldn't be on game forums while at school anyway. Confused

Thats the point, this isn't really concerning Thras, The Planes of Oblivion is pretty much its own project. Look at the Moonshadow thread. As of now its got 100 replies, 1,696 views, thats more than twice of any other thread, its out of place, it needs its own forum, as its basically its own project. Since I created that forum, i've noticed this forum has died, but thats no fault of mine, it obviously means theres little or no interest left in Thras.

Go look in that forum, theres like 9 topics with like 100 posts, imagine all that being posted here, we may as well rename this the Moonshadow forums as thats all it would be here. Thats why theres another forum, a thread for each area of planning, which is necessary, and something we can't do here.

What your'e doing by ignoring mine and TOYB's requests to use the other forum I think is blatently rude. It takes five seconds (maybe ten if you're slow) to sign up and post there.

The only reason i'm here is because i'm helping out with Moonshadow for TES4, as i'm also making my own Moonshadow for TES3, and have been for a while now. I made the forum so that the people working on Moonshadow could focus on that mod (and others too), as I would also use it for planning my own mod, which I can't do here.

I personally think, especially due to the decline of interest in Thras, that The Planes of Oblivion should be its own project. Of course it can easily tie in with Thras if either project is ever completed, but I think its a good enough idea to go ahead as its own project.

Anyway, I can very easily make that forum into a Thras forum, all I have to do is change the banner, url, add a new catergory and its done.

Heres the link to the forums: http://z4.invisionfree.com/Planes_of_Oblivion/index.php

I got tired. I got caught up in other things, and kind of left Thras by the wayside. Sorry guys.

I'll get stuff done soon though, this is just a very busy time of year for me.
