NOM had a very nice castle, BUT, I, personally, don't have the time OR the patience, that it would take to convert 150 levels of ancient npcs. (which is why it's not up)

Base point: the levels/NPC's that are online as playerlevels are online because they met the standards required, or were easily adjusted to meet them.
Want a playerhouse/level/world uploaded? sure, we can do that, just make sure it works first.

The levels are uploaded because they look half decent.

Oh, so Ventrue's levels are up because NPCs all work perfectly for everybody and the levels rock? Ok, makes sense.

But... Didn't you guys just justify Ventrue's levels being up because the scripts work so well? That was the impression I was given.

*cries*

Honestly though. If they aren't done, why are they up?

While some guilds have submitted reasonably sized guild houses that were half decent, currently Ventrue's guild metropolis is neither an example of a reasonable sized guild house nor of decent quality. Anything less than decent is bad, so I assume your half-decent means decent, otherwise why would you brag about having bad levels?

I've been trying to get ahold of you on the server. It was sure tough to track you down too, in player, when not getting a response to my pm. Unfortunately, you only moved once every few seconds, as if you had an anti-idling bot running so you could gain hours. Or perhaps you were ignoring me, saying words to you that you would have seen when you occasionally moved a step. If you did ignore me, then I there is no need for you to make this request.

It could be invalid if the NPCs were working properly. My house screamed predefined objects? Just because I don't put grass tiles (predefined object's name: well) on roofs (ala Ventrue) doesn't mean my levels are that bad.

Yes, you do seem to love to hear yourself talk.

Windows. Normally I only get this problem the rare time on a heavily-under-construction playerworld that wouldn't qualify for the hosted tab.
